Who We Are

The Quad Cities' hidden gem

La Dueña — "the lady boss" — has fed the Quad Cities — first from the food truck and now from our kitchen on historic Washington Street in Davenport. We're family-run and proudly authentic, the kind of place neighbors keep to themselves: a QC hidden gem tucked away off the main drag.

Generous portions. Bold, late-night favorites — slow-cooked birria, charred al pastor, street-corn elote, and the over-the-top Hot Cheeto Burrito that put us on the map. And yes, the margaritas reviewers call "insane." When the rest of town closes, our line is still moving — we're open until 2 AM Thursday through Saturday.

Hot Cheeto Burrito

The one that went viral: your choice of meat with rice, beans and cheese, packed with Hot Cheetos and wrapped in a crispy flour tortilla. "I love the massive burrito" — and so will you.
