Ok, so this review is kinda a mixed review. So I'm gonna explain each sector.....FOOD, was good but bland (definitely needed more seasonings) but outside of that, it was good...minus all the fatty meat I received in my shredded beef for my supreme nachos. The atmosphere was beautiful, I JUST WISH THERE WAS MORE and more things on the walls as the walls were big and bare. Decor and seating booths were gorgeous! Bar, was gorgeous! Customer service was TOP NOTCH & my server went above and beyond to make us happy, even without us asking. She offered me ideas and different choices (this was our first visit) and I APPRECIATED IT!! I will definitely return and give it another try but imma order something different and see if the flavor is different and more. My only real issue was the lack of flavor. As someone who is native to California and KNOWING true authentic Mexican food growing up in a heavily hispanic influenced lifestyle, the lack of flavor was kinda disappointing, but it's ok...No biggie, I'll try it again in the future. Is it possible to play music at a low grade? Not loud but enough to hear and still visit with your friends and family?

The Burrito Loco was as good as I had hoped it would be. The tortilla chips light, crispy and warm. I enjoyed every bite. You feel like you could sit and enjoy your meal without rushing. Definitely work the drive from Des Moines.

Getting tired of the same Mexican places in Ames so drove over for something new. Great salsa, chips and guacamole started the meal. Pork carnitas were well seasoned and weren't too fatty like you can get in some places. Chili rellenos and beef taco were delicious. Waitresses were very nice and friendly. We will be returning!
