Whether you’re packing the Iowa State Fairgrounds, taking over Water Works Park for a music festival, or feeding thousands after a 5K around Gray’s Lake, one thing is certain—great food keeps crowds happy.

Nothing specific, my wife just thought the Sonora steak tacos were ok but nothing special. My 3 mahi mahi tacos tasted great but were cold and I had to heat them in the microwave.

First experience. All was pretty good. Burger was well seasoned, bacon was good. Could have used a bit more of the signature sauce. All in all a good experience

Everything was very good. I had the three tacos, shrimp, pork and chicken. Shrimp and pork were very tasty. The chicken was dry and lacking taste. Overall, nice tacos. Great corn shell, very tasty and fresh.

The Philly cheesesteak was fabulous and the fries were really good--hot and crispy but not too crispy. Great food!!
