The absolute best Mexican food I have ever tasted. Great costumer service and a great place to eat! I highly recommend the steak and fry plate

The food is absolutely fantastic! Great service, I always try to bring more people here so they can discover how awesome this place is. I love the carne asada fries.

What a wonderful little family restaurant with authentic Guantemalan food with a Californian spin. Super friendly owner, large portions. Well worth the stop. Every one at our table of six loved it. We’ll be back.

I thought I was in California taqueria! I can't say enough about how good our Chimichanga & cheese dip was. HUGE food. My husband and I shared the chimi & we only ate half! Only open a few days a week & in a house like building in a neighborhood! You must try!

Summary up front: If you're reading this don't make this a "We should try that sometime." place. You're trying something new tonight and this is where you're going. Congrats. You've already answered what's for dinner. Your curiosity will be well rewarded. I have visited here 3 times now and my review will mostly reinforce what others have stated. 1) Quality - Having ordered several dishes for multiple people every single thing I've selected has been very delicious. The meat has been high quality, cooked to be tender, and been very flavorful. Seasonings and salts are a big factor, thus I suggest getting the large drink if dining in. The hibiscus water is especially delicious and brings refreshing flavor to the full meal being very sweet. The green sauce is good and very mild. The red sauce is more flavorful but it packs immediate heat that travels, apply a small amount as a trial taste. 2) Portions - More than generous. A burrito or chimichanga will be slightly smaller than a football. I've heard comments about them being several pounds in weight. The carne asada fries are a full meal or perhaps an appetizer for 4 to split, again don't underestimate the size of your coming food. 3) Value - I find the value to be very good. You'll get high quality, delicious, and filling food that will be on similar price as the local Applebee's or similar sit down chains. If you're skeptical about finishing your full meal the carne asada fries reheat very well in the oven if you get the sour cream and guac on the side. Similarly the burritos you can take home what you don't finish and toss it in a pan with just a tiny drop of vegetable/olive oil and reheat it in 2 minutes and put it in tortillas you may have at home. This also spreads the cost across 2 meals and brings it down below fast food levels for SIGNIFICANTLY better food.

I walked in and met John... Wonderful personality and engaging conversationalist. He talked to me about their Guatemalan dishes, how they make everything except the flour tortillas. I ordered the surf and turf (shrimp and pork, chicken, or steak) with chips(made there). The pork in my dish was chopped and cubed. It was served with green and red hot sauce (made there)... The green hot sauce made my eyeballs sweat 💦. I loved everything I was served. I will return.

A great place made me feel like I was back in Houston again sorry I ate so fast I forgot to take pictures but it taste amazing the flavors were on point trust me if I could hit it more stars ⭐️ I would definitely recommending this place. Go out and try it. Don’t walk run 🏃‍♀️ and if your driving you better speed 😂.

Wow, just wow. We are from San Diego right on the border. These people KNOW haw to do Mexican and Guatemalan food!!! Amazing - the surf and turf are AWESOME and the California Burrito is HUGE!!

Finally got to try this place. Their food, customer service and atmosphere was so amazing and welcoming. Everyone should be eating here...it's a place of food magic 😃

Excellent food, large portions. I am from California and this restaurant met my expectations for excellent Guatemalan food. Highly recommend!! Great service too!

This place is amazing. I've eaten here a few times now for both dine in and carry out. So far I've tried the steak chimichanga, the surf and turf fries, and the al pastor burrito. It has all been delicious. I think I've enjoyed the al pastor burrito the most. The surf and turf fries are also delicious. The steak chimichanga was the first thing I tried following the recommendation of a friend. It was good but chimis aren't really my thing. I highly recommend it if you're inclined towards chimichangas. You should 100% visit this place, but only if you like supporting small businesses with delicious food and reasonable prices.

I was extremely impressed on this place from the moment I walked in to the moment I left! And the food was amazing. Very happy Ottumwa finally had somewhere with above average food! Will definitely be coming back!

Best place we have eaten at in Ottumwa. Everything is home made. Great owners and staff. Don't let the little dining area fool you. This is a gem.

Wow! Like others said, come hungry! Great food, great service, and friendly staff! We will definitely be coming back!

Best mexican food I've ever eaten. Thisbplace has ruined all the other restaurants around here for me

First time visiting from a recommendation and the food was amazing. Tortas are big! My girl loved it. I had the garnachas (hope I spelled it right 😬) and they are delicious! If you haven't been and you are reading this then make sure you try it. You won't be disappointed.
