This is the best Mexican place in Ankeny, which really isn't saying much. But still....you can find great fajitas and margaritas here, along with chips and salsa and walk away pleasantly stuffed. The chicken fajitas are fantastic.

Is it just me, or do those last four reviews seem awfully suspect? All worded very similarly. Maybe the same dinner party? One is obviously the same person.

If you had this bad of an experience, then let it be known. Just...only let it be known once per person, please.

Don't waste your time or money eating at this establishment. If you want poor service and to be ignored for all your requests then be my guest. When spoke with the manager he told us to not come back. Wouldn't even if you paid me!!! The owner really should check in on how his establishment is being operated. And the food wasn't all that great, runny salsa and cold fajitas aren't my idea of a good time. Do yourself a favor and go across the street for good mexican food and polite, fast service.

Service was really bad. Asked to speak to the manager and he was rude. He sugested that if we did not like the service that we not come back. Take his advise and save yourself the greif AVOID dissapointment and eat somewhere else.

Save yourself grief and don't eat here. Service is terrible. Manager is rude. We were ignored by our waiter. Were not given things by our waiter we asked for like straws and napkins. After we received our food he never came back to see how our meal was. Had to flag down the hostess to find our waiter to get the things we asked for and more water and salsa and more shells to go with our fajita's. Some other person finally brought these but not the napkins. When complained to the manager about the service was told we got shells with our fajitas we didn't need any more (for a large portion of fajitas we got 2 small shells apiece) and got told by the manager if we didn't like the service to never come back. Very rude, disrespectful manager and waiter. For sure will take managers advice and never go again. Plenty of good restaurants in the area with excelant service to be treated this rudely.

We had never had a problem with Cazador until we tried to get takeout. The order was completely wrong and we were asked to bring the food back. After we did, the manager returned the money and asked us never to come back. We will not ever go back and I would like to recommend never to get takeout. There are way too many restaurants in the area for the customer service to be so extremely rude.

It's easy and cheap to eat here- the wait isn't too bad, the food is pretty good, the margaritas are good, it's all in all a consistently good place to go.

Cazador's has one thing going for it - consistency. You will always find a decent Mexican meal there. Just don't get the fried ice cream. We made that mistake and were served ice cream that had obviously been fried earlier in the day or the day before and then just stuck in the freezer. Awful. They do have a good cheese dip that I haven't found other places.

I hate to disagree but cazadors is not that good. Food is marginal. Drinks are good. But place is hard to get to and prices are high.

The experience was awesome! I actually went there on a class assignment.... to evaluate the experience and the food. The food is good, prices are reasonable, and the employees and owner are VERY awesome!

I live in Ankeny and did not like Mexican food until I ate at Cazador. Their salsa is the bomb! Nothing I have eaten there has been less than excellent.

I normally wouldn't be motivated to rate this place, but a 5 star rating (see Dan) is so off the scale that browsers will be
sadly misled. Cazador in Ankeny is Average at best. Nothing terrible and nothing spectacular...but the prices are reasonable and if you are not a connoisseur of Mexican food
and don't have unreasonable expectations the staff is hospitable and it's better than the chain fast food stuff.

Spectacular Mexican food and brilliant margaritas. A nice stop right off the I-35 exit at 1st St. that's easy to miss if you aren't looking for it. Very comfortable and cozy, but can accommodate large parties pretty easily.

I only wish they served Mexican Cokes!
