I recently visited this place wow leaving the Des Moines area and I thought I could find some good…read morefinds here just because I love seeing and visiting natural food stores. Overall, I was pretty underwhelmed with my experience just because it lasts a fair amount of items that I was hoping to find. The staff here was very friendly and I did like their selection of alcohol too. They didn't have too much of a crab and go selection either though they didn't have a nice little Bakery with some great vegan options. A decent selection of fresh produce. Easy access to the streets and Highway nearby which was the primary reason I came by too. Prices is here were a little Sky High too. Thankfully it's nice and peaceful if you come here in the morning

Love this market! So many good health finds and vegan products…read more What I really come here for is this vegan fried chickn sandwich. I'm giving 5 stars because I really hope they make it a permanent menu item. There is nowhere else in town to get a good vegan chickn sandwich. However it is a little dry/bland. They only put vegan mayo on one side of the bun, idk about you guys but no bun should be without sauce/mayo. Next time I ordered it tossed in buffalo and got the vegan thousand island for my fries and it was 10/10. The staff is always very kind!

So glad I checked this place out!! Now I don't have to go all the way to Saigon Market or La…read moreTapatia for the tropical produce and international ingredients that I search for. It's a small grocery store, but they have a lot of everything! Household products, drinks, canned items, frozen items, tons of spices, cheese, meat, sauces, and what I'm always looking for~ fresh fruit and veggies that look really great!! I picked up some cucumbers, zucchini, and ripe plantains this trip, but they also had lettuce, tomatoes, avocados, cilantro, onions, limes, bananas, mangoes, potatoes, and more! The cashier here was very nice and helpful too. Will definitely be back soon for more plantains and to try the mangoes when they're in stock :)

Grocery stores are the lifeblood of a community, and Des Moines is so lucky to have La Tapatia! The…read morestaff and product mix here make me a big fan! I went in searching for frozen empanada dough, and Aji Amarillo. The former was easy enough to find (thank you, Goya), but even my Peruvian American friend from Chicago warned me that it's hard to find the Hot Yellow Peppers, critical to the Aji de Gallina dish from her native country that I wanted to make. And sure enough, I couldn't find it after walking all through the store! La Tapatia staff to the rescue: Through a mix of English, Spanish, and pointing-to-pictures-on-my-phone -- the staff made it a mission to help me find the Aji Amarillo. Turns out, La Tapatia had it in paste, in brine, and frozen! Can't wait to come back!

I came into the fluer HyVee tonight with my three kids wife and mom to get the chili and cinnamon rolls and as if waiting inline was not embarrassing enough when I got up to the counter to pay my card declined yes for $9 I was so embarrassed and the guy at the register Adrian I think it was could tell I was angry and embarrassed I told him to just give me the kids meals and I would give ours back, he smiled and quietly said don't worry about it man we got you. He doesn't know how grateful I am for his help and ability to make a difficult situation easier. Thank you Adrian and thank you Hyvee.
