Eastern Iowa Food Truck Opens a Restaurant in Linn County

On October 26th, a food truck out of Vinton called Antonios Mexican Grill wrapped up their final season out on the road. That's because, just a few days later, Antonios opened as a full-fledged restaurant!

Antonios Mexican Grill began welcoming customers to their new Center Point restaurant on Friday, November 1st. It's located at 220 Franklin Street, the former home of Joensy's and, most recently, La Cantina.

The menu at Antonios consists of classic Mexican fare like burritos, enchiladas, quesadillas, tacos, fajitas, chimichangas, and more. Some of the house specialties include chilaquiles, Bistec Mexicano, flautas, tortas, and choripollo. There are also a few dessert options, like churros, fried ice cream, and soppapias.

As far as reviews go, Antonios is recommended by 100% of customers on Facebook! A couple of those reviews are for the new restaurant, with user Cambrie Lane saying "the food was fantastic," and Sheila Oyler noting that the "service and attention to detail was amazing."

Antonios Mexican Grill is open Tuesday through Thursday from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m., Friday & Saturday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. They are also offering to-go orders and delivery. Delivery is available Thursday through Sunday for a $2 fee. You can place an order by calling 319-540-9963. You can check out the full menu HERE.

Antonios is just one of several new restaurants that have opened within the last couple of weeks! There's Aroma Artisan Pizza's second Cedar Rapids shop, Paper Crane Ramen Shop & Cocktail Lounge in Iowa City, and Captains Fish and Chicken in Cedar Rapids. And, don't forget about the new karaoke bar in Cedar Rapids, Studio 6. They serve food, too!
