This was a nice Mexican restaurant that had a different menu than usual. Lots to choose from. The chicken tortilla soup was really goid. I had the crunch beef tacos, Rey good. My guy had the pizza with chorizo, jalapeños and pineapple, he enjoyed that (maybe a little spicier chorizo). Our waiter was great. Margarita was good. Will definitely go back

This place has a really nice vibe with its candlelight, dimmed lights, and wood finishings. Our server was really great. Perfect place to unwind & relax for a while. Tacos were tasty, chips a little chewy, but didn’t bother us — we still ate them :)

Food was great, as was margarita and churro. Cheese bread was delicious. It's a bit dark inside which made it hard to read menu, but other than that, all good!

Service was ok. Waiter seemed socially awkward in each interaction with our table and made no effort to check on us at any point of the dining experience except for asking about the bill. Taco’s are what everyone order. No real flavor and some were barely filled. I ordered four tacos and was able to finish them in 8 bites. With all the other options just in RO, might be tough to say I’d be back.

We love Iron Horse! The vibe is great and the food is amazing. The Esquites with chorizo are my favorite thing on the menu, to the point that I didn’t get them as an appetizer this time, it was just my dinner. All their tacos are also incredible and the staff is friendly. We live half an hour away but it’a totally worth the drive and has become one of our favorite places.

Best dining experience we’ve had in awhile. Celebrating our friends engagement and the management came out with celebration drinks and dessert on the house. They made our table feel so special and went out of their way the entire night to make sure we had a great time. Additionally, the food was outstanding!

My husband I have gone here a few times and have been pretty happy. But this last visit with a group of girlfriends was disappointing. Our waiter seemed annoyed with all of us, especially me when I wanted to order a signature cocktail and asked which one had vodka (instead of tequila). He said none of them but then didn't bother to suggest something. I chose the autumn mule (whiskey) which was good though. There weren't a lot of patrons for a Saturday night but the music was really loud. I politely asked if it could be turned down a bit because we were really having to shout to hear each other. We could have sworn they actually turned it up. Not sure, but definitely didn't turn it down. I asked for a chicken and a beef taco. I got two beef but didn't want to bother the waiter to exchange because...well, you know. It was 10:30 and there were maybe two other tables still there but the staff was going around cleaning up and even blowing out candles around us. Definitely got the vibe that we should take off. So overall we were disappointed and I don't think we will be back.

Overall very good! Nice to be able to make a reservation. A little disappointed in the margarita-mostly just ice, not much margarita. Tortilla soup was incredible! Steak tacos also really good. The sound system was making a buzzing/ringing noise that was kind of annoying, but I got over it. Really cool place that I look forward to coming back to.

They stated they didn’t have our reservation when I checked in which was unusual considering I had the open table confirmation. The attitude from the initial server who helped us was not welcoming in the least but it improved once we were seated. Food was decent.

Food and drinks were so good! My fiancé had the Mexican Mule and I had the strawberry margarita. Both were great! We had the esquites for an appetizer… a must have! We ordered tacos and a burrito and everything was yummy 👌🏼 only complaint was our table was inside towards the back and it was cold and dark. Would’ve rather sat outside since it was a beautiful day but maybe that was my fault for not asking.

One of our absolute favorite go-to restaurants with friends, family, or our kids. Great music, approachable and delicious food with even better customer service. They get what it takes to be a successful restaurant…good and consistent food, great ambiance, quality cocktails and a comfortable and fun space. Super fun and casual. Tony who runs the restaurant is an absolute pro and makes you feel special every time you arrive.
