El Jinete - Nevada

Our favorite Mexican food restaurant!! I'm from New Mexico and fluent in Spanish so, Maria and staff are like family!! Service: Dine in Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

The Burrito Loco was as good as I had hoped it would be. The tortilla chips light, crispy and warm. I enjoyed every bite. You feel like you could sit and enjoy your meal without rushing. Definitely work the drive from Des Moines. Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Tortillas, Salsa, Rice and Beans

A very welcoming atmosphere here. Authentic Mexican foods that seem to be missing most Mexican restaurants here. Prices are more than fair, especially with the portion size! I was very pleased with not only the Huevos rancheros, Pero the Margaritas are fantastic. I also heard that the owner came from California and brought some of these Californian flavor and food culture to Iowa. Love it. Will probably come back to breakfast and lunch. Owner is very friendly and staff are very pleasant and respectful.

Authentic Mexican food in the most unique location. If you happen to be in Nevada Iowa and looking a good place to eat wether it be for a quick lunch break or a evening with someone special this location is worth checking out. I came for lunch . My food was delicious and in a very timely manner. Definitely will return.

Awful, there can't even be a star. The chicken was old and tasted as if it was warmed up in a microwave. My beef was terrible. If you think about going here. Change your mind and walk away a block and go to the other Mexican restaurant. It looks like the other restaurant is proud to make food there. Don't go to EL MEZCALITO! Go to the other restaurant on the street!!!! Just be honest.
