“I've been to Mexico many times, and always struggled to find good tacos in America. This place has the best tacos I've ever had in USA and rivals many from Mexico.I liked the 3 sauces they bring to every table, and they have fresh free chips (homemade) and salsa.Service was prompt and friendly. The house salsa (for chips) was not the best (i would recommend them a bit more salt and lime), but those sauces for the tacos were awesome.We can't wait to go back!“

“This place is pretty neat! Had never been to a funky gourmet style ice cream shop before and this was certainly fresh and fun... And the girls who served us were really sweet! Had a fun time just hanging out and trying something different! We'll be back!Parking: Reserved patron parking around to the right side of building when facing the front of the shop which is located in the back of another Mexican restaurant!“

“We've loved this fuzzy taco location since it opened! We started coming when we were first married and have enjoyed introducing our kids to our weekly taco Tuesday tradition. The staff is super helpful with our kiddos and always friendly and accommodating. We were SO happy when they were able to reopen this spring! It's such an easy place to meet up with friends since you order at the counter and the patio weather in the summer is so great.We love fuzzys!“

“Got 4 street tacos (1 chicken, 1 steak, 2 asada) and they were some of the best tacos I’ve ever had. The asada was my favorite. Make sure to try the spicy red sauce on your food, it’s actually hot without being offensive. Will definitely be back when I’m in the area “

“Absolutely delicious food! I really loved the salsa, guacamole, and my main dish. Maybe the service was a bit rushed because we were here close to closing time. But I would definitely suggest stopping because the food is so good. It was hot when it arrived and came reasonably quickly, too.“

“This is the best bar in the metro. Your average patron varies between bikers, hippies, and people in the service industry. The drinks are cheap and good, but the atmosphere is second to none. They also are the only place in town to get food late night as they serve tacos until 1:30-2“

“I really like the food here, There is a variety of choices to pick from tacos, burritos, quesedias, tortas, lots of drink choices, I'm really impressed, with how fast they have my order ready..The prices are reasonable. The location is convenient, for the Lutheran Hospital Staff and patrons. it's easy to get in and out and there is ample parking, The people who run the " Taco Truck * are very nice.“

“This place is delicious. Just tried it based on the reviews…there aren’t many, but they’re all correct. Super nice people, great quality food…I had a couple beef tacos…better than any taco I’ve had at Malo or any “upscale” Mexican place in town. You’re silly if you don’t eat here on the regular, which I will be doing.“

“Wow, Nicely decorated place, large, big long bar. The food is excellent, to the detail flavor, presentation, and amount. We always Go for Thirsty Thursday, {2 for 1, Drafts n Margs} Best deal. Always order something different for food Burritos, Quesadillas, our Faves Molcajete,pic, Hers Mojarra, its all good.The staff, cooks all very friendly, But the Best Bartender around and {Owner} Emilio,, Very pleasant outgoing and makes it fun being there, very appreciative, Also did I mention they have great Bands Music on the weekends,, Gotta check this place out.“

“Absolutely delicious !The presentation and aroma...the singe on the asada...the chorizo along with Verde and Rojo sauce absolutely ?I will 100% be back !I always like to start off with the carne asada tacos because if you can't get that right than I don't wanna do business. I always go at least on sauced up and one as is and all was delicious!!Something a little different is the cheese on these. Normally I don't find cheese in the street tacos...and it was ?Even the tortillas are on point, not falling apart.Check out the pictures of the Taco Truck Traveler and Eating with Alabaster !“

“Puro Puebla is definitely one of the best food trucks in the Des Moines area. The portions are huge, the food is great, and it leaves you craving for more. The owners and staff are very nice people, too. Definitely recommend to those looking for delicious authentic Mexican food.e“

“We were visiting from out of town, and we were looking for somewhere to have lunch. Tasty Tacos turned out to be the perfect spot for us to stop at. I ordered a chicken enchilada and a taco and it was very good. I would come back again and I wish that there was a place like this in my hometown.“

“I did a service call at Los Flores and got to see, first hand, how clean and nice their kitchen really is. We like to dine in familiar places, but after this, I really wanted to try Los Flores for Date Night.Seating was quick. Service is good! I evaluate Mexican restaurants by their tamales, because my Grandmama used to make them from scratch when I was a much younger child. They are damn good here! My Honey likes to have warm queso dip with her tortilla chips, she was well pleased. The salsa is good as well!Moses' crew did good taking care of us. We will be back for more good food!“

“I love this restaurant it is one of my favorite Mexican spots. Very Authentic flavor the staff is always smiling and friendly. I absolutely used to loved their 7 Marez caldo it is the best seafood soup around. Im a vegetarian now so now i would highly recommend their Veggie Sopes (sans beans) simply perfection. Lovely staff, comida muy buena se las reccomiendo!“

“I got carne asada tacos, rice and beans. Beans were flavorful, creamy and smooth, tacos were some of the best I’ve ever had… And the rice? It was so fluffy, when I blew on it to cool it off rice stated floating away. I don’t know how I’ve never heard of this place, but I’ll be a repeat customer for sure. 10/10“

“The food here was excellent and very authentic. We ate the huevos rancheros (they serve breakfast all day) with eggs over medium (cooked to perfection) and the cheese enchiladas. Every side was delicious and we locked our plates clean and were very full and satisfied! Super affordable and very quick. There isn’t really anything else around - it’s in a residential area.Vegetarian options: Cheese enchiladasParking: Parking is on the street in a residential area“

“So much to try - ice cream, Mexican popsicles (paletas), and many flavors of beverage (horchata, nuts, etc.) And all the Mexican street/fast food you can imagine. Be a kid again and take the family. Family owned business. Staff is friendly, recommended.“

“The 3 Tacos were more like gorditas to me, shell was fairly thick and soft, but those were pretty good. The bean burrito was a bit smaller than expected, served in a container with a good bit of cheese on top, got those 4 things for 12 dollars, which felt like a deal for the amount of meat in them. There was a lot of people waiting on food in the dining area. This place needs a drive thru.“

“Had 3 each of the pastor and asada tacos on a beautiful Sunday morning. Excellent tacos with 2 really good sauces. I’ve lived in Texas and Colorado and these are right up with the best authentic tacos I’ve ever had. The little red truck in the parking lot puts out a really nice product at a fair price. Highly recommend if you ever get on the north side of Des Moines just off of I 80!“

“Great stop for a quick bite! Better tacos than Tasty Tacos - I said it. The meat and beans are mixed but it’s very good with great flavor and good heat. Less than $10 for three flour tacos. The cashier was terrific too! Wholeheartedly recommend!“

“FIRE ?Look for a bright green food truck right next to Football stadium on 14thJust located in a empty parking lotThe atmosphere is what it isNobody is going to bother youEverybody is there to enjoy foodThe menu is in english and Spanish very easy to understand and the guys there are good guysYou will order your food get a pagerYou can go wait in your car or they do have a couple picnic tables in electricity for lighting if you go later in the dayI don't think there are any bathrooms or caibos availableYou will receive your food probably within 8 to 10 minutes depending on how full the parking lot isDefinitely worth the drive and wait“

“Couldn't have asked for better service considering I showed up 20 min before they closed, which might I add they closed at 9:30 on a Saturday & will discuss below. Food was delicious and hot no complaints with quantity or quality chips and salsa included. The corn shells were so fresh & warm I could have eaten the shells alone for my dinner. The seven seas soup was superb even though it contained only quarter size piece of fish. here are the few reasons I feel the need for 3 stars. First closing hrs are 9:30pm on a Sat.? Why so early?Secondly, the parking lot feels unsafe as it seems there's a lot going on with all the businesses & traffic on the property. So not family friendly in the evenings.Lastly, Environment inside was very noisy and rather busy. So not a place to wind down & have a drink at least not 20 min. before closing time (I can only base off the time I spent at the est.)The food was so good I will def. return & recommend.“

“There is a reason why MSN Lifestyles voted Fernando's the best burrito in Iowa, because it's the best! The burritos are all amazing and they have more options of ingredients to put in the burrito. The chili rellenos are to die for! Love this place.“

“I think they have good street tacos and good honest people there! I accidentally left my phone and that nice lady actually noticed and put it up for me ... there' was kind of a language barrier when I was there earlier ordering food..but when I went back we both understood that hand action where we use our hands as the telephone so she knew exactly what I meant..oh yeah hugs are Universal to and I had to give her a great big one for keeping my phone for me when she found it... Id like to say thank you to her......“

“Probably my favorite location, a bit smaller than some but just as tasty, of course! We tried the taco salad for the first time - it has chili on it! as well as a corn and flour taco and chips and queso. Delicious!! The food here is always fresh, filling and satisfying.“

“Got there like minutes from close after ordering 7 tacos 40 minutes prior. I called when google said they closed 9. Its 9:30 by the way they close at 930. Food was excelent, service was top notch. 7 birria tacos for $21-24. Worth every penny.“

“Stopped here for a quick bite to eat before our busy day. Arrived about 11:20am and the owner had the grills up and running. She was unloading things but took our order and got to cooking once done unloading. It took about 10 minutes for 2 burritos. I ordered the pastor burrito and my fiancé ordered the chicken burrito to go. We had them loaded, beans, meat, sour cream, Pico de Gallo, and guacamole. There is no other way to get your burrito! Once home we devoured our lunch. They came with the most amazing grilled onions and jalapeños. The burrito was stuffed full of food and flavor! Make this place a priority when you're around the south side!“
