“Their pizzadilla is amazing!! Only place that I have found this and it’s wonderful“

“We love this restaurant! We live closer to the Clive location so we order from there all of the time, both dine in and take out. I recently also had them cater a Saturday lunch at work for us and they knocked it out of the park! Eddie is a phenomenal asset to this restaurant. Always friendly and helpful. Great rewards program as well. Highly recommended!“

“If you're craving chips and queso this is the place to go. If it was socially acceptable to order the queso and drink it through a straw I would, it's seriously that good. Food is always a hit and the staff is always friendly but the queso is the real reason I come.“

“An unexpectedly large number of my family & friends descended on this fine establishment after a Celebration of Life and everyone was taken care of in a very timely & professional manner! Everyone loved their food, beverages, & the service! THANK YOU for shining a light on what was a difficult day! 🙏“

“There is not a single other Pancheros location that even closely compares to the joy that I experience from this specific location. Excellent food, excellent service, a camaraderie that is unmatched - not just in Pancheros locations, but in do-it-yourself burrito restaurants in general. I always get a burrito with rice, black beans, carnitas, and mild ancho salsa with a side of chips and salsa. You can’t get this excellency from a Chipotle or a Q-Doba. Thanks Pancheros on Jordan Creek.“

“Amazing shaker margaritas, great authentic Mexican food and family-owned service that goes above and beyond“

“The best Mexican food in the metro. Family owned and operated by folks that care!“

“One of the best steak burritos ever! Their hot sauce is perfect too!“

“I’ve been to multiple taco trucks and I got to say this is probably one of the best. I would highly recommend eating here.“

“The food is supper yummy! I definitely recommend!“

“Fuzzy's crew totally nailed it! Mad props! Their menu's kinda wild, right? Like, tons of choices and I got this food allergy thing, BUT... The cashier was super cool, helped me find something safe to grub on. And the food? Seriously mind-blowing! Fuzzy's DSM? Man, they didn't disappoint! I'm definitely heading back for more!“

“Literally the best tacos in existence.“

“I came by yesterday on lunch break from a local training. I had intended on eating there but as it got closer to my hour being up, I knew I’d need to take it with me. There was only one person working and there were a handful of tables so I understood. They quickly boxed it up. I did have chips and salsa while I waited and it was really good! The salsa was super fresh! I ordered the Elote and two of the chorizo street tacos. They were both phenomenal. They even came with two small cups of the sauce for the tacos. One was a verde and the other was a smokey, much spicier sauce but they both were super good! I will definitely be going back and bringing my kiddos as they love Mexican food as much as I do!“

“I regularly meet up with my friends here. The foods great and the kids enjoy it as well. Our server yesterday Julia was very kind and helpful!“

“Been here multiple times. Great food served hot and fast! Rodolfo is the best Amigo around! Super nice guy!“

“The chips and 4 varieties of salsa come with your meal and are served before you even order!😀. My husband always gets the chicken burrito, with rice and beans. The burrito is full of moist deliciously flavored chicken with just the right amount of cilantro, cheese, and lettuce. The tortilla is lightly grilled on the flat top. I always get the beef fajitas! I’m not a bean or rice fan so they always let me substitute with extra amount of: cheese, sour cream, guacamole, and lettuce. The beef is so tender, lots of lightly grilled green peppers, red peppers, and onions! It comes on a hot sizzling plate! It’s so plentiful that I always take home the extras!
The people working there are amazingly friendly. The service is quick. The food is reasonably priced! The sodas are included in the meal price. But most of all it is delicious food! We have been going there since around 2003 and have never been disappointed!“

“This place is a hidden gem. We were a little skeptical when we pulled in and we were the only people there at 5pm on a Saturday but the food was amazing, fairly priced, and the staff was so helpful.

We had a group of 6 and all but one of us had the tacos, everyone loved them and the one other had a tostada and said it was good. We also got a bunch of different of the fresh pastries and they were all amazing.“

“Great tacos at a great price delivered fast.“

“Breakfast was SO GOOD. We ordered a classic plate (for kiddo) crepes, and chilaquiles. Crepes were huge. 3 massive crepes folded with house made sweet cream, topped with a drizzle of Nutella and fresh sliced strawberries. Chilaquiles came with a side of beans, avocado, and two eggs any style. I would probably kill for the green salsa - it’s tangy and the perfect amount of spice to enhance the food. The red salsa though is lackluster. Chips stayed crispy and the steak & eggs were cooked as ordered. Kiddo couldn’t get enough. Classic diner links and toast (choice of white wheat or sourdough), butter, and those little square jelly containers. She even ate the beans and avocado off the chilaquiles. 10/10 will go 100 more times.“

“Literally the best tacos in existence.“

“Very good. We will return. Clean place also.“

“Delicious authentic Mexican food. You definitely get your money's worth. Along with it tasting bomb af the amount they give you is definitely on the generous side. Love this place. One of my latest favorites.“

“I was so surprised when I went there and that they actually had hot sauce that was spicy. It’s so hard to find a place that has really spicy salsa ☺️“

“Amazing food at a great price. A neighborhood gem.“

“Tasty Tacos was phenomenal. I was in the mood for tacos and this spot answered the call. Great service, fast. The tacos have a unique, puffed appearance that is light in texture. I tried the beef, chicken and pork tacos and was satisfied with them all, but the chicken was my fav. Lots of menu choices available and I intend to try them during future visits.“

“I was hesitating and tonight we stop by and “wow” we will definitely go back again. Excellent food we had the enchilada tacos. Delicious flavor, huge portions and fast service. Once you try them you will definitely go back again. Thank you!“

“wonderful restaurant, great food, Angel was our server. prompt and courteous. prices are good“

“Ordered a smaller order for carry out. Was packaged and ready when I walked into the door. A very nice atmosphere. One dish was the seafood enchiladas and was very good. We don't typically order anything with seafood more than 4 hours from the coast, but this dish was really good, as we're the others. There are some fees for carry out, so check before you pick up. Very good service, good food, good price for the size and quality.“

“This is one of the best taquerias in Des Moines,, hands down!l everything was fresh and made to order, didn’t seem like the meat had been in warmers, everything was perfectly crispy.Make sure to ask for the avocado salsa! Every Friday birria tacos are 1.50- 2.00 with cheese! You also get jalapeño cucumber and radish with your tacos, no one does that anymore,!“

“love this place! first time trying will be back again,owner was super nice even when my daughter broke her Jarritos before even opening it! told her to grab another and made sure everyone was ok!“

“The Chayo’s and their quesabirrila tacos are always at the top of my list when I was a delicious and quick meal. I stopped by there tonight and didn’t realize I left my wallet until they were so generous enough to come drop it off at my house. Great food and people!“

“This the BEST food truck in Des Moines PERIOD. I've been going to this truck for as long as I can remember, back when the Duke of oil was there. DOMT WASTE YOUR TIME GOING TO ANY OTHER TRUCK. In my opinion this is the only REAL food truck. Every other one tries to do what this truck did 10 years ago. Prices are unbeatable, the burrito is the size of my thigh, BRING CASH.“

“Great authentic food and great service“

“The food was amazing!!! Great price and even better service! I will definitely be going back!“

“Literally the best tacos in existence.“

“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......“

“Had an excellent time and the food was superb !“

“We had VIVA cater our wedding as we had our first date at VIVA in Urbandale. They were amazing to work with, EXTREMELY affordable, and were so thoughtful! They went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect! We also love dining in the restaurant and have great food and excellent service every time!“
