Welcome to Taco Gato, part of the FNF Restaurant Group. Our food and drinks are fun, exciting, surprising, and fresh. This is not your average taco joint. We took inspiration from 30° north latitude across the globe, focusing on North America. We have created an elevated, rustic menu that we often describe as Tex-Mex meets Southern with an Asian flare. The ambiance embodies southern decor that, in our opinion, most resembles a new take on an old saloon meets a high-end agave bar to create a warm and inviting space. Come in with an open mind, belly, and heart and we will do our best to fill them all. Cheers to Cedar Rapids!
