Casa De Oro — Restaurant in Jefferson

Can't recommend Casa De Oro enough. Local to the area, its hard to find a good Mexican restaurant that ticks off all the boxes. Casa De Oro does so and so much more. Family run with a family friendly atmosphere, you're immediately greeted every time you walk in the door . You'll be hard pressed to find a better welcoming offer of the warm chips, queso, pico, and salsa offered here unless you're in the casa of an abuela.

You definitely won't leave hungry. Generous portions and...

If you had told me a week ago that I would have the greatest Mexican food of my life in Iowa of all places, I would have thought you were out of your mind, but this place is incredible.

The fresh chips and accompaniments (especially their wicked Pico de gallo) alone are enough to get me to give Cada De Oro five stars, and everything else on top of it was just as good. Every dish I had was well seasoned and flavorful; the enchiladas were superb and the sauce from it iverflowing into the beans and rice was the happiest accident that could ever happen.

My friends said they had good, strong drinks too, if you're into that.

I have no idea when or how I'll get back there, but I...
