Porfirios's Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in Anamosa

Updated review** They did a nice job remodeling the inside of this place.The staff was friendly. Service was a bit slow but there also new and were busy. We had high hopes for the food but were a bit disappointed. The chips and salsa were probably the best part of our meal. Rice came out hard and cold, hard shell tacos came out soggy, meat didn't have much flavor to it, The softshell taco was chewy like rubber. I really hope this place watches there reviews takes some constructive criticism and changes things up a bit. Being in anamosa where there's few dine in restaurants they could sink or swim. I hope they excel! It made me sad when hacienda closed.

It's now August 2023 and we've given this place two more visits. Needless to say they have things under much better control it seems they had some opening jitters they needed to work through. The food is excellent and the service is much better. I'd argue to say this place is better then Villas patio in Marion. Happy to have a nice sit down restaurant in a town that doesn't have my options!...

Very clean, staff was tremendous, the Food was delicious, we were greeted immediately and served Chips and salsa, the chips were fresh and crispy. We had the Smothered Flautas, Steak Burrito Grande, Azada Fries, and 2 strawberry Margaritas. The smothered Flautas chicken has so much flavor, the steak was good and hot but did taste reheated. Azada Fries are definitely a must get! Angeles (Angie) was fantastic and so kind even when my son was acting a little silly. Definitely will come back and recommend. Side note: I have a shellfish allergy I made them aware of and they understood what it was needed to prevent cross contamination. 🙂 Not many places I can go with a...

This resturant is new. Was expecting typical Mexican food BUT was very surprised.... first the service is exceptional probably 1 of the best waiters we have had. Second the Margaritas are house made and taste fresh and perfect, 2 for 1 happy hour... third the guacamole is house made fresh and is out of this world flavors. The food very very fresh ingredients, flavors are very deep and interesting, not your typical fajitas,,,better!! Lots of seafood options for tacos ... the street tacos will make me return alot.. probably the best Mexican food we have had in our many visits to Mexican restaurants... do yourself a favor and try...
