" I can’t believe how amazing this restaurant is! The margaritas were to die for, the best I’ve ever tried. We celebrated a birthday here, and the staff made us feel extra special. The atmosphere was lively without being too loud, which allowed us to enjoy our conversations. For food, I had the chicken tinga tacos, which had a perfect blend of spices. I was delighted by every bite, and I can't recommend this place enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" Café Tacuba is a gem! The moment you walk in, you're welcomed by vibrant decor and friendly faces. I had the breakfast taco platter and was blown away by the freshness of it all. Every ingredient tasted like it was freshly prepared. My only complaint would be the time it took to get our drinks, but the waitstaff was so pleasant that it didn't bother me too much. I'm looking forward to trying their other brunch options soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" The best Mexican restaurant I’ve been to in Iowa! The atmosphere is inviting and colorful; it immediately makes you feel at ease. I couldn’t stop raving about the homemade chorizo tacos—they were bursting with flavor. While the service was friendly, they seemed a bit disorganized, leading to a longer wait for our food. However, I still rate it five stars because the food’s quality overshadowed the minor hiccups. Can’t wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" This is hands down my new favorite place! Everything we ordered had such depth of flavor and it felt like an authentic Mexican feast. The guacamole was incredibly creamy and paired perfectly with the homemade chips. While the ambiance was vibrant and cozy, the service was a bit slow during peak hours. However, it's clear that everything is made with love, and that's what matters the most. Can't wait to come back again! " (*Curated Review*)

" Café Tacuba never fails to impress! Every time I visit, I’m amazed by the authentic flavor explosion that greets me. The service is usually excellent, though I did notice a slight delay in my last visit. However, the freshly made tortillas and delectable enchiladas compensated for the wait. This is a spot I genuinely look forward to at every opportunity. " (*Curated Review*)

" Phenomenal experience! Café Tacuba captures the essence of authentic Mexican dining. The vibrant murals and upbeat music added to the lively environment. I had the breakfast burrito with a side of fresh salsa, and it truly made my morning! The only downside was there weren’t enough seating options. We went during peak hour, and had to wait a bit for a table. Besides that, every aspect was fantastic. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved Café Tacuba! The atmosphere is lively, and the decor really makes you feel at home. I tried their enchiladas, and honestly, they were some of the best I've tasted in the Midwest. The flavors were so authentic, bringing me back to my visits to Mexico. The service was friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. We will definitely be back for more!
