Our Story

Welcome to Mezcalitos – A True Taste of Mexico in the Heart of Iowa

Founded in 2025, Mezcalitos is a vibrant and welcoming Mexican restaurant located in the heart of Cedar Falls, IA. We bring the warmth, flavor, and soul of Mexico right to your table, offering an unforgettable dining experience rooted in tradition, family, and the joy of sharing a good meal.

At the heart of Mezcalitos is Manuel, a passionate cook who has been crafting bold, authentic recipes for over 15 years. Cooking isn’t just a job for Manuel—it’s a way of life. His one-of-a-kind dishes are born from years of experience, love for Mexican cuisine, and a dedication to bringing people together through food. Alongside Manuel is Cecilia, whose infectious warmth and kindness make everyone feel like they’re part of the family. She’s the soul of our hospitality—greeting every guest with genuine care and treating each person who walks through our doors like a lifelong friend.

Our menu is a flavorful journey through Mexico, offering everything from sizzling fajitas and rich, cheesy enchiladas to lighter bites and hearty, comforting classics. What makes Mezcalitos truly special are the one-of-a-kind recipes that Manuel has perfected over the years—recipes passed down, reimagined, and crafted with the utmost care to ensure each bite delivers a truly authentic experience.

We’re proud to serve not just lunch and dinner, but a standout Mexican breakfast that’s already becoming a local favorite. From chilaquiles with a sunny-side-up egg to house-made breakfast burritos and fresh pan dulce, our morning menu is the perfect way to start your day with bold flavor and heartwarming hospitality.

Whether you're stopping by for a quick lunch, celebrating a special occasion, or just craving the comforting flavors of home-cooked Mexican food, Mezcalitos is your go-to spot.
