Pollo frito especial. Never disappoints

Still the best fried chicken meal in Des Moines area!! Might feel a little intimidating to non Spanish speakers but is well worth taking the chance. El Pollo Frito Especial is the BOMB!!

Craig T.

We were looking for something "different" and landed on this place. Boy am I glad we did! It easily has the best horchata that I've ever had! After that, I was excited to try more. We ended up with a starter of empenadas, which were wonderful. Our meals consisted of a mixture of baleadas, tacos, carne asada, and one other that I cannot name. LOL Almost all were served with sides of cabbage (I'd call it a form of coleslaw), pickled onions (I didn't ask, but this is how they appeared), and a nice pico de galla. Everything is made from scratch and it showed. Even something like the carne asada had a little extra flavor than the usual plain meat taste that I've had at many other places. The dining room consists of tables and a small bar. I have no complaints after this visit! It was all wonderful! We will definitely go back as there are many other dishes to try. I don't know how long they've been in there, but I'm sad we haven't tried them until now.

Chicken tacos- yes, please!

See all
