It is one of the best Mexican restaurants I have been to in a long time. Great food selection, delicious, and excellent service by the staff. I also enjoyed the quiet yet fun atmosphere. You will not be disappointed.

Chicken Fajita was very flavorful, the onions and peppers could have been cooked a little more but the meat was excellent

The first and last time here, my horchata water was bland, I found pieces of something else on my cup, (maybe not washed well) I ordered a fajita cantaritos, it had too much cheese, I couldn’t even taste the meat, had only 4 shrimp, my corn tortillas were cold and hard, my rice was hard, the place was hot very hot inside, I know is hot outside but come on, turn the ac.

Cantaritos food was outstanding! I got a fajita platter and it was delicious. At many Mexican restaurants the fajitas are tasty but lack seasoning. Here you could taste that both the fajita meat and vegetables were seasoned well and it took it to the next level.

Great food. The only place I absolutely have to go every time I’m in Pella. Also managed to get a great vegan plate, which is hard enough to find in town.

We’ve been going here for several years and never had a bad experience. Food and service have always been good. I find some of these reviews of less than 4 stars to be very hard to believe based on what I’ve experienced. This place is consistently good, so if something is not quite right, talk with them and give them a second chance.

Vicki Stagliano
Although it was very busy, the food came out fresh, hot, and with lovely presentation. I would definitely say this is above average, not your basic Mexican restaurant at all. Our table of six all had wonderful meals on a busy Sunday afternoon. Definitely will go back when in that part of the state.

Best Mexican food in the Pella area, hands down! The portions are large, prices a bit high (but reasonable), and the service is super friendly and fast. They have homemade tortillas and fresh chips with salsa. It’s a great spot for lunch or dinner. Go here!
