Here in the Hawkeye State, many people are coping with the COVID-19 pandemic by feasting on their favorite restaurant dishes, since plenty of local places have switched to an all-takeout menu. Thanks to a last-minute change of rules, many of Iowa’s eateries are now permitted to sell their signature drinks for take-out. While that doesn’t change too much for bars and beer drinkers, it’s a total game-changer for anyone who has been craving a margarita to go with their taco Tuesday takeout. Now you can treat yourself to the best takeout in Iowa and have an authentic Cantina meal at home.

El Azteca, a delicious Mexican restaurant with two locations in Ames, is thrilled to finally be able to sell their signature margaritas to customers.
