TNT's Tacos N' Tortas Tacos • $
3441 86th St, Urbandale

“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!“

“I was a little hesitant to order here due to the condition of the truck but if there’s one thing I’ve learned it’s that you ALWAYS give these kinds of trucks a shot. This is where the food made with love & pride comes from. They put their soul into these dishes. The ladies inside were pleasant & happy to take my order. I stuck with a simple chicken burrito for fear that any other kind of meat might not be made to my liking. There was a small wait while they made this fresh & it was AMAZING. The chicken was seasoned & tender. The burrito was loaded with rice, beans, fresh lettuce, tomato & cheese. The sauces had a thicker creamy consistency I’m a huge fan of. This way you enjoy a little pour on each bite & it doesn’t run down inside the burrito. Very happy with the portions! I look forward to trying the pastor burrito in the future & next time I’ll bring cash to tip these ladies! (This was an unplanned visit while I waited for UPS to open.)“

“If you're craving something seriously delicious, this taco truck is where it's at. Hands down some of the best steak I've had—tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. But the real game-changer? Their steak fries. Loaded and crispy! It's a meal itself! You must try them. This spot is a hidden gem and totally worth it. Don’t sleep on this truck!“

“I've enjoyed Taco Casa my entire life, and I truly believe it has the best soft shell tacos and beef chimichangas around. Throughout my travels across the country for work, I've yet to find anything that compares. In my opinion, the secret lies in the unique blend of meat and cheese. I do miss the ladies who used to run the place, but I think the new owner has done a fantastic job preserving the atmosphere and recipes that make Taco Casa special. As a regular, I've noticed some subtle differences, but overall, the essence of the restaurant remains intact.“
