Your usual decor, but what stood out was the food and service. I would say the best enchiladas I have had. It takes a lot for my boyfriend to find food he would order again or find a restaurant he would go back to and he was thoroughly impressed. Needless to say we will be back!

Had lunch here during a business trip and the food was excellent! The Manager, Marcos, and staff member, Antonio, were extremely helpful and went above and beyond when I needed a copy of my receipt. Great service and delicious food! Highly recommend:)

I have never been so defeated by one menu item. If you do follow in my folly, and decide to order the molcajete zapato, Make sure you bring somebody to share it with, or there could be consequences...
I'd say don't sleep on this place but it looks like Des Moines knows what's up
