“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🤟“

“The portions were HUGE and oh so good!
The Molcajete was loaded with steak, chicken, shrimp, chorizo, onions and peppers....served along with rice, beans, lettuce. Very good representation of the Molcajete!
The El Patron had loads of steak, chicken, pork, peppers and onions along with the rice and beans as well.
Service was excellent, as good as we've ever had...very prompt and friendly.
Decor was somewhat upscale with black and gold highlighting the room with Mexican culture pictures and paintings on the walls.“

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.“

“Foods always good, quick, and by far my favorite selection of music“

“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 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 ☺️“

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

“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.“

“Vegan menu! Tortas were soft and delicious and the nachos were the best I ever had!“

“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......“

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

“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.“
