“my daughter and I stumbled upon this neat place today. she has the classic burger with a side of fresh fruit and she loved it. I had the grinder with a side of amazing tomato bisque soup. we shared some tasty chicken loaded nachos and will definitely be making the 45 minute drive again very soon. our waitress was a lovely lady named Tatum(I cannot remember how your name is spelled,I'm so sorry). she was rocking the bar and taking orders all by herself. she constantly made sure we were doing ok. 10/10🤟“

“Thank for great food and service. ?“

“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!“

“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.“

“The food here is very good and at a very good price. I am hispanic and I really enjoy their tejana fajitas and the margaritas are great, especially the top shelf margarita. They have a 48oz option for a margarita, and you can take it to go if you don't finish it.“

“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.“

“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,!“

“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.“

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......“
