“We eat here a lot. I was happy to see an offer for a bonus $5 gift card with purchase of a $25 card. So I go for the offer, only to discover, several screens into the process, that there is a $2.50 "digital services fee." Come on guys. This really leaves a bad taste in your mouth.“

TACOS MAR Y SOL Tacos •
1424 E Ovid Ave, Des Moines - 7.37 miles

“I was a little hesitant to order here due to the condition of the truck but if there’s one thing I’ve learned it’s that you ALWAYS give these kinds of trucks a shot. This is where the food made with love & pride comes from. They put their soul into these dishes. The ladies inside were pleasant & happy to take my order. I stuck with a simple chicken burrito for fear that any other kind of meat might not be made to my liking. There was a small wait while they made this fresh & it was AMAZING. The chicken was seasoned & tender. The burrito was loaded with rice, beans, fresh lettuce, tomato & cheese. The sauces had a thicker creamy consistency I’m a huge fan of. This way you enjoy a little pour on each bite & it doesn’t run down inside the burrito. Very happy with the portions! I look forward to trying the pastor burrito in the future & next time I’ll bring cash to tip these ladies! (This was an unplanned visit while I waited for UPS to open.)“

“I love this place, and no it's not because of it being walking distance from my house. It has to do with the amazing service and food. The buche (pork stomach) is sent from God himself. I will forever be indebted to the wonderful flavors and smells of this place for teaching me how to truly live.“

“I've enjoyed Taco Casa my entire life, and I truly believe it has the best soft shell tacos and beef chimichangas around. Throughout my travels across the country for work, I've yet to find anything that compares. In my opinion, the secret lies in the unique blend of meat and cheese. I do miss the ladies who used to run the place, but I think the new owner has done a fantastic job preserving the atmosphere and recipes that make Taco Casa special. As a regular, I've noticed some subtle differences, but overall, the essence of the restaurant remains intact.“
