Carlos O'kelly's - Iowa City

She finally tried the new Birria tacos, and they were good! They came with au jus, which was a nice surprise, and they were loaded with cilantro (which I don't love, but didn't mind this time since we were feeling adventurous after a long day). The rice and fries were also tasty. The lemonade was served in a huge glass, so we didn't need a refill. The staff seemed a bit overwhelmed, but they were very pleasant. My wife ordered her usual taco shell, and it was also quite good.

I had a fantastic experience during my first visit. I ordered the Birria street tacos, and they were excellent. Tuesdays feature half-price items from the children's menu, which was a nice bonus. The guacamole was also half-price during Happy Hour. The Papa O'Kelly's side dish was delicious! The host, a blonde guy, was very friendly and checked on us after we were seated. Our waiter did a great job as well. I will definitely return. Update: The food and service were still outstanding when I came back!

From the initial phone call to the follow-up offers at home, every aspect of my visit made me feel welcomed and reassured. They have a wide variety of gluten-free options and take great care to handle allergens. Plus, their margaritas are gluten-free!

My waiter Julian was great. I was immediately greeted and immediately set. The raspberry vinaigrette on my side salad was very good. Queso is always on the point. relaxed atmosphere, casual food. Prices are appropriate for the quality of food. Five stars.

They did not expect a 9top to walk in. With 4 kids I think they did pretty good for our weird family. Almost everyone of us ordered a Fajita Cheese Crisp. Some ordered 2. I think it's my fault. I remember ordering them like 20 years ago when there was a location in Des Moines. So now when we are in Iowa City, the FCC's come out by the tray full. It's a crazy tradition that we all love. Just something that's so tasty about them. Usually chicken but steak is available too. Overall, it was a great experience and was happy to see my family all together, here, once a year. Thank You staff!
