Hidden away on Iowa Ave. (old highway 30) is a gem of a Mexican restaurant known as La Carrara (or "The Cart" for you gringos). A Mexican Restaurant in Marshalltown you say? I know! I'm as surprised as you. But more hungry.
The Looks:
Holy crap, is this place a pizza hut?! It seems it used to be. They've done a good job of Mexicanizing it however. Nothing too fancy, just cheap decorations on the well. The service is fast and friendly.
The Cost:
They've got a lunch menu with several meals as low as $5. Everything else is very reasonable. There's nothing on the menu much more then $10. There are additional specials every day.
The Grub:
First the chips and salsa. Best. Chips. Ever. Same with the salsa. I had the lunch enchiladas and they were divine. I think the ranchero sauce does the trick. The beans and rice are average. And all the usual Mexican selections exist of course such as fajitas, combination platters, desserts, and margaritas.
