Service was good. Atmosphere was dated and well, ...just so-so. We were a party of 9 stuffed into this tiny room. It was nice that we had privacy, but we were cramped. The food was average.

Good food and good price. No where else will you find Irish-Mexican food!! Glasses of Pepsi are large and the salsa is good. Kind of skimp on the veggies in the fajita dishes.Parking: Parking is good easy plenty of space.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheel chair accessibility is good but bathrooms are a little tight.

Service was amazing. She came in on a Sunday just for our camping group. Now the food was just okay. Queso was too spicy way too many jalapeños in it. Food really needs an update. Overall still good I'd go again. Also salsa was way to spicy and it never use to be. Stop using so many jalapeños. Please.

It was a late lunch early dinner for us. You walk in and seat yourself. We sat for a while while they decided who was going to take the table.I did what Mom always said and ate dessert first. Raspberry Cheesecake Empanadas. I had them leave off the sprinkles. Yum.My table had a taco salad, chimichanga and two enchiladas. Chicken enchiladas one diablo sauce which was ok on creamy sauce one which appeared to have some melted cheese on it but definitely not creamy. None the less all tasted ok. Their soda/pops were very large glasses. It was very quiet and an enjoyable space. Restrooms clean.

Boy has this place gone downhill. Food was just OK, chips were awful. Everything is so run down and menu is extremely limited if you don't want meat. Probably never go there again.

Place is probably the worst as far as effort making the food. Everything was nasty the queso was morbid so was the refried beans and my burrito. I will say that the shrimp tacos were fairly mid. But dont go here its not worth it its disgusting even the water has a weird after taste

Went into the restaurant mid-afternoon with my son. He ordered two soft shell tacos and fries. He said that his meal was fine. I ordered chicken Picada and lime rice. When served, the rice was transparent and hard, not edible. The chicken picada tasted like the chicken was spoiled. Our server was great.

Food and service is excellent! Seating in rear addition is not satisfying ? and doesn't have atmosphere of other Iowa Carlos but says it is the original. Love the pre meal chips and salsa. Pray they never close the Marion restaurant.

11 cars in the parking lot and 5 min wait and still nobody came to seat us or greet us. Spent 5 min calling to make them aware of the issue, no answer. The food isn't anything special but my lady likes it. Won't return to this location.
