We're lucky to have this authentic Mexican taco stand here. Lots of Mexican people eat here, so that to me is a good recommendation. If you order something customized or complex in English the order may not come out exact; just eat, it's all good! It's not fancy, and the servers are not fancy or talkative but they are nice enough. But the food is just like what I ate in Mexico. My wife and I go here probably once or twice a week. The shrimp cocktail is awesome, so are the torta sandwiches. But our favorite thing there is the guacamole and the homemade red hot sauce with a bunch of hot corn tortillas. Though not the most upscale, this is probably one of the five best restaurants in Ottumwa.
