“Amazing food, great staff, fun atmosphere. Worth the 45 minute drive!!!“

“Good place in Ankeny to meet for breakfast. I've turned others onto the breakfast egg rolls. My brother-in-law is hooked. If you want something on the lighter side try the Thai fried rice with egg n veggies. Ask for extra sauce on the side. Dad had the steak n egg n cleaned his plate. The breakfast burrito are ginormous. Enjoy the Des Moines based chain. There's something for everyone“

“Finn's Pub is in my neighborhood- I visit the Walgreens next door like three times a week- but I had never been to Finn's. We had only been there a few minutes when the manager came over to introduce herself and get a birthday shot for my friend who was celebrating. It was an apple pie shot and it was delicious! Several regulars introduced themselves to us as well. We wanted to sing karaoke and man, this place did not disappoint. So much talent. We had a blast singing along and everyone was so friendly. We will definitely be back! Highly recommend. And the gender signs on the bathroom doors? Hilarious!!“

“A tight knit clan rolls there, the regulars, but ever expanding I think. I didn’t feel too much an outsider, but the guy sitting next to me was there exactly for that reason, to wander and be the quiet stranger at a mid town pub. It’s quaint and an asset to the neighborhood. Thank you.“

“We hired Nightingale to bartend our wedding reception. Can not recommend highly enough! My husband and I had a pretty specific vision for what we wanted for the bar, and from the first meeting Heather and Tovka clearly committed to learning and achieving that vision. Great communication throughout the months leading up to the day, and heard a ton of compliments from guests about the service and drinks. The bar they set up exceeded our expectations! Hire these folks right now.“

“We were visiting with friends on a Thursday night sitting at the bar.

Service: Excellent

Food: we had chips, queso and salsa. I highly recommend this!

The pariaso ahumado was very delicious. The pineapple puree and hot honey was a fantastic combination of flavors along with the mezcal. I had 3. Get one for yourself!“

“This is easily my favorite Mexican restaurant in the Urbandale area. The food is always delicious and arrives quickly, and the drinks are very tasty as well. I usually get the chori-pollo and highly recommend it!

The staff is very friendly and helpful, and their new location is very nice. The restaurant is clean and comfortable, and you can tell they take pride in their restaurant.

If you're looking for good Mexican food, you can't go wrong with El Patrón!
