50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Norwalk

“very friendly staff. and fast service and excellent food.“

“If you’re at Fareway Fields and get hungry, do yourself a favor and walk over to Abelardo’s. I haven’t had a single bad thing there.. breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Everything is made fresh, the ingredients are high quality, and the prices are actually cheaper than most fast food spots. It’s one of those places you can count on every time.“

“The torta was A+ ! First time there, excited to go back and try something else 👍“

“Your food is the Best in Des Moines!🫶🏼 When do you close for the winter?“

“Every other Pancheros is trash, and then this one has the best burrito in Des Moines, and sadly yes… I’ve eaten at the food trucks, some good sit downs, but this tortilla is unbearable and the staff does an incredible job of rotating the product and keeping everything hot. It’d be an interesting competition to see a few of the food trucks have this tortilla, but they don’t. Fight me ;)“

“Great food and good sized portions! Got the birria omelette. Nice people. Will def be back!“

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

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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! 🙏“

“Literally the best tacos in existence.“

“Quesabirrias! Delicious! Never disappointed“

“The food here is amazing. I've had tacos in LA, mexico, and miami and this place is easily just as good as those. The burritos are $12 and for the price I expected portions similar to abelardos and they brought out a burrito the size of a newborn baby. They have a bakery with fresh pastries, which were only $1 each. Their horchata is amazing as well. If you want to get some amazing food come here. $50 easily fed a group of three. We got a burrito, 8 tacos, 3 pastries for $50. Great deal.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“The best Mexican in Des Moines. It's not close. The tostada is my go to. Always reasonable prices as well.“

“The tacos here are seriously delicious 🌮🔥 — packed with flavor and made just right every time. The burritos are just as impressive, hearty and super satisfying 😋🌯. What really stands out is the price — it’s way better than a lot of other taco places that don’t even come close to this level of taste or quality 💸👌.
You honestly can’t miss if you go with the asada or the pastor — both are full of bold, authentic flavor and cooked perfectly 🥩🌶️. On top of that, the people working here are genuinely kind and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better 😊👏. All around, this is a very solid spot that’s absolutely worth checking out! 💯✨“

“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!“

“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 ☺️“

“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!“

“Literally the best tacos in existence.“

“These guys are amazing 2 months in a row had them prepare lunch for work meetings for about 40 people for the 1st meeting of the day about 30 people for the 2nd meeting of the day about 100 tacos and a couple large pans of rice was amazing fresh they sent us with a ton of their fantastic homemade hot sauce and containers for tacos napkins silverware and by far the best price in town. So humble they didn't even expect a tip. I was so impressed with how well they handled these big orders 2 separate times on the same day I will tell everyone nothing but good about this place and the hard working employees they have. Phenomenal job, prime example of how a business should be ran. Fantastic job ladies and gentlemen!!!! 👏 Amazing!! Thank you guys truly!“

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

“Literally the best tacos in existence.“

“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!“

“Great authentic food and great service“

“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......“

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

“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!“

“I ordered three chicken tacos and two beef tacos. All were delicious. I also ordered a chicken burrito. That was huge and even better than the tacos. I was in town from Los Angeles, and I would eat here again if I come back. Definitely worth a stop.

Must eat: burrito.“

“One of the better Street taco trucks in Des Moines. Al Pastor tacos were fantastic. The charred pepper/onions were also excellent. Tacos are a bit small, but not that different than most other trucks. Small suggestion: spice up the red (and green) salsa more? Both are a bit more thin than I usually like.“

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

“This is our go-to place while dining in Indianola. Mainly because we have a large family and young kids; thus, we super appreciate the fast service and friendly staff. Of course the food is amazing, too. Our kids always look forward to coming here especially for the queso. Dad orders pastor; Mom orders enchiladas (all types are amazing here). Thanks for always accommodating our big crew!“

“Great service. Great food. Different menu than many other Mexican places. We should come here more.“

“Amazing. Food was amazing and so many options. Not all of them were hot hot they definelty were made less 5han 30 min ago. The waitress was amazing came up checked on us every 15ish minutes or so to make sure everything is okay. They have mexican music to listen to. (But we did go during a wedding not in it but a wedding in a different area) honestly if i could 10/5 but so awesome.“
