Great for creative cocktails
Great for happy hour

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!

Awesome food/drinks and awesome service. The flavors were so fresh and a great spin on the typical Tex-Mex menu. Impressive tequila collection as well. Can’t wait to come back.

We got a pitcher of margaritas. Was very good. Our meals and our appetizers were really salty. I was able to eat mine and we ate most of the appetizer but my partner couldn’t eat much of hers and I tasted it and don’t know why a salad should be that salty. Waitress took two dollars off… Probably wont go back except for drinks maybe.

This was our first visit but definitely not our last! Wait staff were amazing, and food and drinks were delicious. Loved the Almost Shrimp and Grits! Atmosphere was eclectic and fun. Had a very enjoyable evening.

Service was excellent. Food was hit and miss but that is a function of trying hard. The menu is eclectic. Come a few times and find what you like. We enjoyed the atmosphere, drinks, service and most of the food.

Our first time at Taco Gato will not be our last. The restaurant is unique because of its decor and delicious menu! From the beef taco bento box, to the Almost Shrimp and Grits, as well as the special Hot Ham & cheese (pimento cheese!), our party of three enjoyed every bite! Our cocktails were great, too. Plus, we had a wonderful server! Don’t hesitate-go to Taco Gato!!
