Classic Taqueria with absolutely amazing vegetarian/vegan options. Check their website for all the meat options for every dish. Staff is nice and helpful. I recommend this place to anyone looking for texmex flavors.

Vegetarian options: Check out "hidden" vegan/vegetarian menu on website. Each dish has a vegan / vegetarian option with several meat spice alternatives and/ or several different meat types.

Dietary restrictions: They are helpful in personalizing menu items to the best of their resources.

They say the state of Michoacan in Mexico is a place of divine flavors. This restaurant certainly reaffirms that notion.

Some of the best, local, taco truck style food served in a cozy brick & mortar location. Also offering solid ice cream treats and agua frescas.

El Michoacano is one of the absolute best restaurants I have eaten at in Iowa. I spent over a decade in San Antonio and could not for many years after moving to Iowa, enjoy such authentic taste at a taqueria -until I discovered this restaurant by my son's invitation.
This is now my absolute favorite restaurant, the food is always served freshly prepared and hot, reasonably priced for such generous portions as well and the staff have always been friendly and welcoming. The best part is not only the taste, cleanliness and service but there are wonderful vegan options on the menu as well. El Michoacano's is a must if you luv Latin food ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I'm not Mexican, but I dare say that there I have found the most authentic and best tasting tacos and sopes.

Crinkle fries totally bland. Nachos with tortilla chips from a bag (the round kind you get at a school cafeteria). No queso available!?! Bland refried beans from a can. The food seemed totally unseasoned and lifeless. The menu states the dishes come with guacamole but we weren’t given any...just several watery salsas with no flavor. Really confused by so many rave reviews. Sorry to say overall the quality is just way too low to go back. For those saying this is authentic Mexican I really don’t know where they’re getting that idea from :/

I got a pollo and asada taco. The tacos were very full of meat, cilantro, and onion. The onion was sweet which went perfect with the green sauce that came with the tacos. The corn tortillas were soft but held together perfectly without getting mushy. If you want great street tacos at an affordable price I recommend trying them here.
