Service could have been slightly improved with more attentive wait staff (we we had empty drinks for 10-15 min while waiting ) but the food was very good with a large quantity and high quality.

We were so disappointed with our experience tonight — especially because we came in really hoping for a good vibe and a relaxing night out.
The host seated us but offered no greeting or warmth beyond asking how many were in our party. We chose to sit on the patio, but it was honestly gross — multiple dirty, unbussed tables, flipped-over cushions, and someone who clearly wasn’t a guest hanging out nearby. It felt uncomfortable and neglected.
We asked to move inside, and even the only other table on the patio said “maybe we should go inside too.” Inside wasn’t much better — tables left dirty, smashed chips on the floor, and just an overall feeling that no one cared about the space or the guests in it.
Not one person on staff smiled or made us feel welcome. We ordered a cocktail and an appetizer, but at that point, we decided to skip dinner and leave.
We really wanted to love this place — it had the potential for a great vibe — but the lack of cleanliness, energy, and hospitality completely ruined the experience. Sadly, we won’t be back.

A must try in Des Moines. Friendly staff, Shelby my waitress was a delight. I had shrimp ceviche and a trio taco plate. Great options. Seared beef tenderloin taco was incredible. dos pescados beyond expectation. A list of hand made fresh salsa, hand made tortillas. Im looking forward to coming back for more. Parking is easy. Easy to find. And they cater.

Nice upscale place for Mexican food. We got queso and guacamole, both very good. I got the mix and match street tacos; mahi mahi, carne asada, and beef tenderloin, all were delicious. They have a nice drink menu as well. They also have an outdoor patio, though we sat inside, plenty of seating options. Lighting inside could be better, dark spots and spotlights in your face at the same table. Overall the food would bring me back!

Love the vegan burrito with the vegan chorizo. I have dreams about this burrito. You can tell everything is made from scratch. Drinks are mostly good. The margaritas kind of lack in flavor. Service is mostly good. The atmosphere is good, but kind of loud if you're trying to have a conversation.

Really good food and the margs are cheap. Wish they would play Spanish music rather than lady Gaga but everything else is great.
We sat outside on the street, and it was actually better because the inside, while it was enormous, was very loud. But with all that said, the food was outstanding. The service we had was excellent. They were invaluable, and we enjoyed everything about this place

Not great, I guess if you're hungry...had the ceviche (more like a cilantro salad) and the tasteless beef fajitas.

Had a really, incredibly delicious vegan burrito here. Opted not to add $7 vegan chorizo in because that cost was just hard to justify, luckily is was great without it. Chips and salsa were fresh and my waitress was really friendly and polite. My issue however was with the hostess, who gave an attitude when I asked to sit in the shade outside instead of in the direct 5:30pm summer sunlight. She seated me at the very back corner of the patio next to the alley at a 4 top even after passing numerous seats with umbrellas that could have been opened up. When the waitress came out to take my order, she didn’t even see me at first because of where I had been seated. Rude, college age hostess who I guess thought she was being funny? Hardly. Everything else was great but that behavior really rubbed me the wrong way. Even the waitress was surprised to see where I had been seated.

We hosted our son's wedding rehearsal dinner here on June 27, 2025. We had 50 people, including children in attendance. We opted for the taco bar buffet with bowls of guacamole and platters of the seafood nachos, drunken nachos and grilled veggies. The entire experience, from the first booking through check-ins and then the night of the dinner, was completely outstanding. We couldn't have been more pleased with the beautiful space, extremely tasty food, and the excellent service all throughout. If it was possible to give more stars I would.
