11 Best Mexican Restaurants in Urbandale

“Yanci was excellent ! Drinks were awesome and food was delicious and came so fast!“

“10/10! I loved the food they were very kind and had such good drinks with lots of options. The place was clean and beautiful. Will come again!😁“

“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.“

“In our group, people varied on their opinions of the food from good to excellent. Chips were tasty. Salsa was good. Queso was good but not special. I considered the shredded chicken in the tacos to be very good. One person was into the chili relleno but not the beef enchilada. Pollo loco was the most enjoyed meal of the group. Portions are large. The service was on top of it.“

“Amazing food and margaritas as well as fun staff!“

“Might be biased but I absolutely love this place. I’ve been to many different Pancheros and this one just always seems to hit the spot. The place itself is a little dry but I guess we have to be the ones to entertain ourselves sometimes or else you might just be boring. 9.7/10 definitely recommend!!“

“We appreciate the people, all the food (Chili Relino), other guest, and the atmosphere. What's not to like?“

“The steak burrito and chicken burrito are excellent! The portion size was very filling at a great price!“

“The prices seemed a bit high, but that was before we got our food. My wife got the carne asada burrito and I got the torta cubana (pictures posted) they were huge! We also got to choose three small salsa options to go with our dishes, and then we ordered the chips and salsa as well, so we got to try all but one of the salsas they offer. They were all really good. I particularly liked the habañero, even though it was almost more like a queso dip (a bit thicker) than the roja and verde.
Also got a passion fruit agua fresca. If you've never tried passion fruit you really should. I fell in love with it while living in the Caribbean, and it's hard to find by itself, but it was excellent. If nothing else, I'll be back for that!
As you can see from the photo of my sandwich, the Cubana is a bit messy, but totally worth it. The guacamole was fantastic, and it surprisingly went well with the mustard, egg, tomato, and jalapeños. I wouldn't have thought so, but it really worked.
We love trying new places, especially local restaurants, and this is one we'll definitely go back to, to try more of their menu items.
A flavor explosion indeed!“

“La Tropicana Mexican Restaurant is a true gem. From the moment we walked in, the service was remarkably fast and attentive, making us feel instantly welcome. But the real highlight was the food - bursting with authentic flavors and cooked to perfection. The experience didn't end there; we were delighted to discover an attached market where we couldn't resist grabbing some cookies and dessert to enjoy at home, extending the deliciousness of our visit.“

“Me and my son were in the Des Moines area to pick up his Subaru from OTL. Stopped for lunch at my favorite place, Taco Johns! Wether we're I live or out of town, TJ's never lets me down. The thing I liked the most is they still have the 25% off survey receipts !! Bring those back to the Omaha NE metro area.... PLEASE!! and keep your Churro's.“
