8 Eastern Iowa Restaurants Courtlin Wants to Try This Summer
I m willing to drive for good food!
In the 6.5 years that I ve lived here in Cedar Rapids, I ve eaten at a ton of restaurants. Like, a LOT. But, somehow, there are still quite a few places that I ve had recommended to me that I just haven t gotten to yet. I hope to remedy that this summer.
Now that things are starting to return to normal here in Eastern Iowa, I thought it would be a good time to get out and try a few of these places and help support locally-owned businesses. There are a couple of Cedar Rapids spots on my list, but most of them are out of town. I even have one all the way in Bettendorf that I m hoping to visit! If you ve visited any of these places and have recommendations on what I should order, please feel free to share them with me.

I was scrolling through the site
Only in Your State this morning, when I came across an article titled, Dare To Try The Macarrito In Iowa, A Burrito Stuffed With Mac & Cheese.
Hold up. A burrito stuffed with mac & cheese?! I had to know more.
The Macarrito is a popular menu item at
Cheesy Cow Mac & Cheesery, a restaurant that was opened by Beth and Greg Aronson in Bettendorf back in 2018. According to their Facebook page, the Macarrito wasn t on the original menu when Cheesy Cow first opened. It was actually added in December of 2019.
As you can see from the photo above, the Macarrito is much more than just mac & cheese stuffed into a tortilla. There are actually five different varieties you can order, including Pulled Pork, Chicken Bacon Ranch, Walking Taco, Buffalo Chicken Bacon Blue, and Steak Fajita.
Sometimes you need a little comfort food. I think I may have found the ultimate comfort in this little golden pocket of goodness.
Behold the Maccarrittto.golden creamy macaroni and cheese lovingly encased in a tortilla. The best part is, you can find it right here in the Quad Cities.
What is a Maccaritto? It’s a love story between a Burrito and Mac-n-cheese. They got together and made a “Maccaritto.
Cheesy Cow Mac & Cheesery, 5133 Competition Drive, Bettendorf, serves this baby up in five different flavors-chicken bacon ranch, pulled pork, Buffalo bacon blue cheese, walking taco and steak fajita. I don t know about you, but when I think of comfort food I think of pretty much anything that contains melted cheese.
