We drove into town from our weekend stay in Amana, IA, craving good Mexican food for a mid-afternoon snack. This place did not disappoint!
We were seated quickly and the friendly server took our drink order right away. Chips, salsa, and our drinks were brought out immediately. My tall draft Modelo Negra pour was nice and cold with a lime wedge. My wife and I then ordered the Tacos Del Mar, with grilled shrimp, to split along with a side of refried beans and guacamole.

Plus you could tell everything's made in house the freshness...
