The service was wonderful and the food was good. The menu selection was small and the restaurant itself was VERY dark and kind of a small place. The bathrooms are unisex and not in the restaurant but connected to it via a hallway that is shared with other establishments. All in all, I would go back but it wouldn’t be a top pick unless I really wanted a jalapeño margarita…those were fantastic!

We enjoyed tortilla soup, a taco salad, the buffalo shrimp taco, and a steak taco. The food was generally very good, but the steak taco could've been a little meatier. Our waitress was very nice and attentive--and she was doing double duty helping out the bartender. I had a "Evel (Knievel)" old fashioned which was a little on the too-sweet side, but totally drinkable. My wife had a classic margarita. Her first margarita was accidentally a jalapeno margarita, but our waitress graciously poured my wife a new one for no cost--minus the jalapeno juice--which was very good and appreciated. The manager stopped by to check in during our meal, which we also appreciated. Overall, we were happy with our experience at Iron Horse and will eat there again. If you like Mexican food that's above average and more creative, you'd probably enjoy it, too.

We enjoyed our meal at Iron Horse. I wanted to sit by the open window, but there was a crowd directly in front waiting for an event at the theatre. The back area was very dim, but the ambiance was cool. Steak fajitas (no pic) were well seasoned and tasty. 👍🏽Mexican pizza and tortilla soup that had avocado in it. The margarita was just ok, I liked the mule much better.

Food was amazing: Baja shrimp taco, chicken taco, buffalo shrimp taco, and the taco salad were to die for. Very fast service, great view right in front of window…. Now the drinks were just so so, not bad just not memorable. Overall 10/10 definitely recommend.

Service was very good. Emily understood we were vegetarian and helped with our order. I found the atmosphere a bit drab, rather dark for my tastes. Need more lighting. Corn salad was excellent. Tofu tacos also tasty. The bean enchiladas were dry (not enough cheese) and with the side of beans and rice, the meal had too much beans. They need to offer a veggie enchilada, baked, not what seemed to be microwaved. Churros were crispy and tasty.

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 :)

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.
