Delago Mexican Cafe

Incredibly bad food; overpriced; about as "Mexican" as the USA flag; totally avoid.

Traveling en route to Chicago, wanted some Mexican food and this place was across the street from the motel.  Should have known when I walked in that it was NOT going to be good.

Chips were warm, but the salsa bland and sparse.  One flavor fits all:  no hotter salsas in the place unless you want it from a bottle purchased from the store.  Chicken fajita was made from strips of chicken purchased from the grocery store; no onions it it; only chicken and bell peppers:  no tomato; no onion; no flavor.  They did have a salsa verde, so got that.  Don't:  When the bill came there was a .75 charge for the dinky little paper container it came in.  Same with the guacamole:  $2.00 for a side of the stuff that was maybe two tablespoons worth.  Mexican rice?  Extra charge at $1.50:  Bland, no spice of any sort.

Total cost for bland, white bread food calling itself Mexican was close to $15.00.  The place is for those who want a froo froo girly drink in a silly glass.

Next time, I'll be certain to check Yelp to find a joint.  I see there are several with good reviews for authentic Mexican style food.  Heck, TacoBell has better tasting food than this joint.  The End.

PS:  PLENTY of flat screen tv's at the bar and around the place with baseball blaring.  Is this an Iowa Sport's Bar?

Great staff, awesome salsa, and homemade margaritas! Be patient when it's busy and you will be rewarded:)  Don't think they advertise it, but show your university ID & get a discount. DJ most Satudays... who knew?!
