We ordered a carne asada and burrito California, the meat of carne asada it was like rubber and very poor size for dinner dish, burrito California nothing like it supposed to be, no cheese sauce, red and green on top of it, the tortilla stuck on the bottom of the plate, very salty taste, I won't recommend thi restaurant, very disappointed

My fiancé and I absolutely love this place! Carlos and the rest of the staff are the best! We've loved everything we've tried, but our favorites are the chori pollo and Chile Colorado!

The steak in the burrito was mostly gristle, and it was pretty gross. It's a shame because the food here used to be good.

Amazing every time I go!Just brought in a large party. To a man they said the BEST MEXICAN they had ever eaten. Generous portions and strong drinks!! El guapo!If people don't get Carlos's humor, then they don't get out of Iowa often enough. Go for the food, service, and atmosphere. Order the margarita and carne asada and you won't be disappointed!

Great food. Even more amazing staff. First time I ordered for takeout unfortunately a grub hub driver had come just before me and unfortunately grabbed my order by mistake along with the one they were to deliver. The staff remade mine and offered to comp it. I refused the freebie and wanted to pay since it wasn’t their fault at all. But they wouldn’t take my card and said I was good. This is my go to Mexican restaurant now.
The best service every single time! Thank you to this whole team. The food and atmosphere is always 10/10.

Used to be our “go to” Mexican spot. Now the service is hit or miss, and the food is just ok. The last time we went, I ordered their shaker margarita, which was described on the menu as a margarita made with orange juice. What I got was an orange juice mixed with tequila and a splash of sour mix. I asked a server if it was supposed to be all oj, he just said “yes” and walked away. When our server came to check on us, I asked her, and she took it back to “fix it” but only added a tiny bit more sour mix. It was not a margarita and I didn’t drink it. We probably won’t go back now that viva and the new hacienda location in grimes have patios. It’s too bad, we used to eat here at least once a week.
