We have likely given them well over $1,000 dollars since 2006. Yeah, they have great food. Best Mexican place in Des Moines.

I have ordered shrimp tacos ? many times from Los Laureles b4 Covid they were outstanding but this weekend my household was in the mood for shrimp tacos, I work 90 hrs a week and treat myself and also the family but this time on 9/28 we thought Los Laureles would do the cooking, but our shells didn't get grill the shrimp had no seasoning and for what we paid like a few dollars $$ short of $70 I think this is the last time we get Los Laureles so said for my family ?????

I had a lovely outdoor lunch with my 7 year old. The patio was nice. The food was very delicious! I heard some people complain online about the nachos but to me they seemed like a thicker almost homemade texture. So there is less crisp but still a delicious flavor. My daughter gobbled up nearly all of them.

Kid-friendliness: They had a kids menu with the usual options.

My Burrito was great!! Chips were a little hard and cold. Salsa was really good, so that saved it.

Perla did not give good service and the food was horrible.the pozole had no flavor and the chilaquiles were sour and soggy, as well as the birria tacos. The only good thing about this restaurant was the music.Not authentic Mexican food.

Found this place last minute in des Moines because nothing else was open past 8 on a Monday night. Boy did we get lucky. This is probably the best mexican food I've ever eaten. Too bad I have to drive to des Moines to get more. Please make a restaurant in waterloo or close by. You will put everyone else out of business. Had quesabirrias and not every restaurant has that dish available. I have to admit they were better than my wife's and she's from mexico.
