Mesa 503 - ia City

It is my favorite place to have lunch, very friendly and helpful people, super delicious food in a quiet environment, a little small but 100% worth it for the flavor and attention.

My best dining experience in Iowa City! The pupusa’s, plantains and rice were authentic, hot, fresh and delicious! Friendly service at reasonable prices. I’ll be back soon for another amazing meal. Thank you!

Fantastic little restaurant and we will return to visit them again. Staff were very friendly, food was fantastic and reasonably priced. I asked what a particular ingredient was and they offered me a tamale on them to take home and try so that I knew what it tasted like next time we go back. Pupusas are great and the hot sauce was really nice.

We arrived at 1:00 on Mothers Day with a party of 6. They were gracious enough to take a phone number to let us know when our table was ready. They’d cleaned and rearranged to make it work. We were served with smiles, checked upon many times, and the two mothers among us were given pretty roses as we left. They were very busy with carry out orders, yet did not fail the table business, all with smiles. I’ll go back.

Ordered 3 papusas for take out. Food was excellent, workers were friendly, and price was good. Recommended.
