BETTENDORF, IOWA (September 25, 2024) — Verde will host a ribbon-cutting to celebrate new ownership on Tuesday, October 1, 2024 at 12PM. Verde is located at 1507 State Street in Bettendorf, Iowa.
At Verde, we pride ourselves on our unwavering commitment to pushing the boundaries of Mexican cuisine while remaining deeply rooted in its authentic traditions. Our culinary philosophy is driven by a relentless pursuit of excellence and a passion for delivering a dining experience that is both memorable and meaningful.
Our owner, Sid, spent the primary years of his childhood being raised by his grandparents, who spent their lives doing missionary work across South and Central America. There, they developed a fondness and appreciation for the rich food and cultures throughout, influencing how they raised their children and grandchildren.
This history and intention are not lost on our menu. Our use of handmade tortillas honors Sid’s frequent trips to the artisan Tortilla Factory with his grandmother, Alicia. Our traditional Hispanic recipes pay tribute to the other branches of his family, which you will see reflected on both our menus. These experiences have culminated in the expression of offering a humble lunch and elegant dinner service.
When you step into Verde, the first thing you may notice is the bright mural on our back wall depicting our owner’s grandmother, Alicia. The Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) theme that you will find throughout this restaurant is a deeply-meaningful way to honor this heritage and celebrate family members from the past. When you dine with us, you’re dining alongside these celebrated and appreciated members of our family.
Thank you for your support!
