The food here is amazing. I had the Seafood Chimichanga. My husband had the Fajita Nachos. My son had the Seafood Fajita. We had others in the party, too, and they all really enjoyed their meals. The margaritas are fantastic – especially the jalapeño margarita! And the servers are wonderful. It ran about $120 for four adults and 2 kids – more than fair. We will be returning!!!

Wonderful place! They did a great job renovating the space. We had the guacamole Mexicano and it was some of the best we’ve had. Top shelf margarita was fantastic and is huge so great value for the price. Food came quickly and was excellent. I will definitely be back many times.

i got a set of four enchiladas last night; the bean, cheese, chicken, and beef. i’ve had this dish at three other Mexican restaurants in Ankeny (as i live there) and loved it every time, but these you could barely even call enchiladas! the chicken was dry and took maybe a minute to chew, the beef was tasteless; and greasy on the second day, the cheese tasted like it had expired a week before, and the beans were probably loaded with rotten bell peppers. not to mention the enchilada sauce tasted like the can it probably came from and the tortillas or whatever the fillings are wrapped in were soggy and fell apart easily. very disappointing, please improve your food quality.

We have been there twice now- once for lunch and another for dinner. Lunch menu is perfect with less options but everything you could want. The food and service was great both times! Staff is friendly and the atmosphere is perfect. I love that Polk City now has another dining option!

I got take out the other day to try out this new restaurant. Got the “burrito deluxe” and chicken tenders. It was disappointing. The fries were undercooked and there was nothing deluxe about the burrito. Just meat. Two small burritos with just meat, salad sized cut up lettuce and a slice of tomato on top. I know they had some issues getting opened and it’s hard to find good help, but it really wasn’t worth the money. I’ll give them one more chance and try the restaurant sit down instead of takeout, but as of today, I wouldn’t recommend it.

Clean, new restaurant that appears to be still working the kinks out on service and etiquette. Counted 8 employees between owner, servers, bartender and bussers. Long wait for drink refills, running a vacuum while people are eating, etc. What needs significant work is the authenticity of their food. Let’s just say it was very American.

Honestly really wanted to like this place. Me and a couple of guys came in for some food a few weeks backs and just wanted to see how it was. Took us a while to get a server and we had to call one over after 15-20 ish minutes. After we actually got a server the food was actually pretty good, but nothing special I have heard rumors that they haven’t actually payed any of their workers yet which worries me heavily as there are some nice people working there. I’ve also heard that some people are getting the wrong food and take out orders which has left some with a bad taste in their mouths. Overall, I would wait for them to work out the quirks, and hiccups then it would probably be better. If your looking for something close, this is it. If not, i’d wait.

Food, salsa, and margaritas are delicious! Very quick service, friendly owner & staff! My kids even loved everything and they are picky. This is exactly what Polk City needed. Highly recommend!!!

Ok….. my husband enjoyed his chicken tacos… the chips and salsa Really good. I ordered the chicken tortilla soup. Please…. Remove this from menu. We have had it at every Mexican restaurant around, some are ok, some are wonderful…. This is not even soup! It came out in a buttery chicken fat/ stock… not even broth…. I picked out the boiled pieces of chicken and avocado. Left the whole bowl of liquid there. No one asked if it was ok or not. The top shelf margarita is $15. It does taste good but it doesn’t have any top shelf alcohol in it. It has a no name tequila and gran gala.(gran marnier or Cointreau is top shelf). Anyway, I guess maybe that is considered top shelf in Polk city Iowa, but not anywhere else in the world. It’s very American for Mexican
