Testimonials

On 11/2/2025 Julie Yilek had this to say:
This was our first time here and everything was great. Quickly seated even on a Saturday after an Iowa State game. Food arrived quickly and everything was fresh and HOT. Chips and salsa was good, just enough kick in the salsa for me, notably a mild girl, lol. I enjoyed a Chimichanga while my friend had Fajitas. She especially enjoyed the Mexican rice. Prices were a little on the higher side and next time we'll be sure to sample a margarita.

On 10/29/2025 Stephen Dunn had this to say:
Great food. Great drinks. Great environment. Family owned and operated. Highly recommended.

On 10/19/2025 Rylie Smith 0897 had this to say:
We’ve been here twice since moving to the area, and both times the food has been amazing! The portion sizes are huge — the burritos are seriously the size of my torso. I’ve seen some people mention that it’s pricey, but with the quality and how much food you get, it’s totally worth it. We love this place!

On 10/5/2025 Scott Everett had this to say:
The wait staff was friendly and attentive. We had the shrimp Diablo and Chipotle chicken. Both were amazing. We loved the free chips and salsa. I highly recommend this restaurant.

On 8/31/2025 Al Wade had this to say:
There are not enough words to describe how good Cazador's is. Been going there for over a decade. The margaritas are great. Very good selection of tequilas. Queso sauce and made on site chips are excellent. Every meal is excellent, especially the Camarones Cazador (bacon wrapped shrimp fajitas). Portions are large and prices are reasonable. Go now! Go often!
