    Crispy Carnitas Taco
    Todd B.

    Stopped here for dinner before our first Cubs game and left as Fuzzy's Fans! While you order at the counter (see picture), they deliver all but the Chips and Queso (see picture) to your table and are great about checking in to see how everything is going. We started with the Coronita Beerita (see picture) and Chips and Queso - both were delicious and highly recommended. For our main course, I had Shredded Chicken & Carnitas crispy tacos (see pictures), while my wife had the Taco Plate (see picture). All of them were delicious! This obviously isn't a high-end 5* restaurant with cloth napkins, but for some great Mexican food at a reasonable price that is walking distance from Principal Park...you won't go wrong stopping here.

    Dog friendly place with great patio and even better staff. They even brought out a bowl of water for Rossi boy.

    Order at the counter, take a seat, wait for your number to be called. Nice service with a smile. Food was amazing with huge portions. Loved the hot sauce and the ambiance of the large open setting.

    My daughter with her special drink

    I took my family to Fuzzy's, and my 12 year old daughter saw a alcoholic drink that wasn't originally sold as a virgin, but they were able to make it a virgin for her. My daughter usually refuses to eat Mexican food, but now she loves this place after she tried the grilled shrimp quesadilla. When it was time to go, we were struggling to take her drink to go and they came over with a souvenir cup for her drink, refilled it, and gave her an extra bomb pop (the drink she got had a bomb pop with it). When we were trying to take a family selfie, they noticed and immediately came over and helped us out. This is a kid friendly, bright, warm and welcome space with many TVs and the outdoor area included the game bags. My overall rating is 100,000,000/5. Definitely a fun place to make memories and hang out with family

    I stopped here for lunch after arriving in town for the weekend. I had previously been there once before however that time I just walked over from hotel. The first drawback was the lack of signs about parking. By the time you realize you should have turned into the pay to park parking lot, you are past it. Fuzzy is on a one way street so you have to make a huge circle to come back. When you park, you must take you ticket to be validated. This is no big deal just a bit of a hassle. There was a small line. However it moved quickly. The longest pint after I made my order was for the cashier to validate my parking. The food came quickly. It was plentiful and cooked exactly right. However, this is defintely a place where it pays to see what extras you can add. I added sour cream at the recommendation of the cashier but it also could have used some guacamole. Not on my top list of restaurants to go to again but, I wouldn't turn it down.

    Interior: Fun, exciting, bright, patio, bar to order drinks at, and you pick up your food at the window when called. Food: pretty darn good. I am all over that California heat taco! It's really not that hot. I love what's in it and it's the perfect size and price for me. The negative that I noticed about this establishment. You walk in and get in line to order food. I don't know if it was just that day but the line was backed around the corner with people waiting and they would not open a second resistor. We sat at the table right by that line and people were in line almost 15 minuets if not longer. Finally one guy at the bar waved a couple people over but really that is just nuts! From the moment sat down and ate and chatted for almost an hour and that line never seemed to die down. Not only from being busy but how slow the counter was. I might be back but I'll try and avoid the busy times.

    Nostalgia. When i was just a boy growing up in Southern California the family and i would frequent Disneyland. Mind you Disneyland at the time was $18 admission and that was the adult price. A different day we live in now. Anyway there was a Mexican restaurant near Big Thunder Railroad that we would eat at as often as we attended. Sadly it no longer exists (not all change is good). Now this place was awesome and forever engrained in my memory. Why do i tell you this story? Well, the rice (fuzzies) and beans (refried) brought me back to sitting outside near Big Thunder. It's almost like they discovered the long lost recipe of the Cantina Restaurant at Disneyland circa 1980. You can probably find better, but this nostalgic moment makes these the best! i also had one chicken and one beef brisket taco and both were great. i enjoyed Fuzzy's in Colorado often and now here in Des Moines. Thankful for the memories in a time i desperately need them. Located near the ball park it would be a great stop pre-game with a quick walk to the field, to watch our Iowa Cubs. Fuzzys might be a chain but it's a great place. Getting the coveted 5 Tacos

    Takes a while, but the tacos are definitely worth the wait and it's a fun place to hang out. Love the Oreo churros
