Not conducive to family dining....very loud music, inappropriate music. Do not recommend for families.

My family was treated very very well here! Granted we did throw on a small event with some guitars. But the people working there are friendly even by that standard.

Stopped in for a quick drink and appetizer today, and had an unexpectedly amazing time!Rosa was our bartender and made a fantastic margarita and blue lagoon mixed drinks for us, and gave excellent recommendations for tequila to try after our appetizers. Their house strawberry tequila is to die for!

Food was decent, I had the fajitas. Margaritas not as good as I had hoped they would be. Decent place with decent food and friendly service and good prices. I'd suggest an extra shot in the margaritas.

I enjoyed the Nacho meal and a Pork Chop and Bacon Taco. My wife enjoyed her Alambre plate - enough for two meals!

Mind you, I don't expect anything like an authentic Mexican taqueria in Mason City, Iowa. Maybe that's wrong of me. But I didn't expect a really top notch experience, so I was pleasantly surprised.The day we had lunch there was a big festival going on downtown, the kitchen was running out of food, and the lone waitress was slammed. We still got some tasty food and drink, seated outside under a brelly in the sun, listening to the local HS band and hearing cheerleaders and... I think a beauty pageant?... in the background.Mason City is a lovely little ALL AMERICAN IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE FOR CHRISSAKE THE MUSIC MAN IS SET HERE! town. The sun was high, there was a cooling breeze, and although the service was stretched (again, lone waitress) we had a lovely time.Food deets: The street tacos had toothsome fillings (very nice carnitas!). (See picture.)My husband got a steak thing without rice and beans, and because without rice and beans his plate would have seemed empty, they gave him about double the normal portion of meat: big score! They also loaded him up with a side of salad-y thing: yum! (See picture.)My nachos with carnitas as the meat were almost perfect, although I would have preferred real (melted) cheese to the nacho cheese sauce stuff they used. Still a nice big portion, fresh flavors, would rate 8 out of 10.
