10 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!😁“

“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.“

“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.“

“I just ate here. The employee who took my order was friendly, prompt and very sweet. My food came out quickly fresh and hot. The kitchen staff were working together well and I couldn't hear any fighting or inappropriate language. The restaurant was clean and well kept. Last week I went to McDonald's on nw urbandale dr and the experience was just the opposite. They need to take a lesson from this Taco John's on customer service and fresh food!“
