Such a striking location. Love that local history has been preserved. My shrimp enchiladas were phenomenal and I’m still dreaming about how cold and fresh the sour cream was.

We are from Wisconsin and are in the area for the Nascar Race. We stopped in here because our hotel was in Grinnell. This place was absolutely amazing! Service and our waiter were outstanding, the atmosphere was incredible and the food was DELICIOUS! I wish we lived closer because we would probably be here every day! Not to mention, the train went by as we were sitting here eating, and that was an incredible experience to see that!

We just found our favorite Mexican restaurant!! The service was top notch. Our waiter was super friendly and kept joking around with our children. One was having a birthday, so he brought out the sombrero and dessert. She was very thrilled.
The food was fantastic. Their salsa was very good!
We got guacamole Mexicana and it was the best I have had in a long time. The ingredients were cut perfect.
Our meals were hot, fresh, tasted wonderful. Rice was very tender and delicious. Portions are good sized.
Prices are comparable with other restaurants. Beautiful dining areas and a large bar.
So glad we found this restaurant!

Authentic Mexican food located in the former Grinell Union historical train depot The building is absolutely beautiful. Everything structure wise (*brick and wood*) located to the left of the main entrance is all original. Exterior is just as beautiful as the interior. Plenty of seating options available, such as: table, booth, bar, and outdoor patio. Fully stocked bar. Loved the train track views. Huge selection of food options from traditional Mexican to pasta and steak. Loved all the historical pictures and train memorabilia. We ordered queso, Taquitos mexicanos, and the shrimp ranchero. Everything was delicious. Our food arrived in what felt like 10 minutes, use of fresh ingredients, and temperature hot. Service was just as amazing! Overall, great food in a beautiful building with huge character! Definitely ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ worthy!

After church last Sunday my wife Pam and I decided to try the new El Cascabel Mexican Restaurant in Grinnell, and we’re seriously glad we did, it was an awesome dining experience. The El Cascabel is located in the old Depot Crossing just East of downtown Grinnell and SE across the street from the park.
I ordered the shrimp El diablo which featured 16 perfectly prepared shrimp of generous proportions and smothered with a delicious tasting spicy chipotle sauce. Pam ordered a meal with steak and chicken, I tried a bite of the chicken, it was wonderful and literally melted in my mouth.
This is a beautifully decorated restaurant with lots of atmosphere, our meals were nicely plated, of generous proportions and our servers were outstanding, we were quickly seated, with our orders arriving soon after. Both meals were simply off the charts delicious.
Nelson Lopez the owner of the El Cascabel is the young man pictured with his mom. Nelson’s parents are the owners and founders of Newton’s La Cabana Mexican Restaurant.
I can safely predict this will be a very successful restaurant, the folks in Grinnell are fortunate to have them and in for a real treat.
The El Cascabel gets my coveted cleaned plate award for sure, a really excellent dining experience from beginning to end.

I was kind of skeptical that we would find good Mexican in the middle of Iowa but happily surprised by this spot! Nice ambiance in what looks like a converted rail road station. Guac and salsa were just ok but the entrees were really good and also quite fairly priced.
