Had the carna asada tacos with guacamole, and ordered some beef enchiladas with queso on top. Guacamole did not have any flavor. Carne asada didn't taste like carne asada I was used to. It tasted more of a roasted and chopped up birria meat flavor. Every taco shop is different and have their own flavor. This place is not my flavor. Queso on enchiladas was a little bland too. I did enjoy the guacamole salsa that is packable at their sauce counter. Total was $31.xx. Tap to pay was accepted. Quiet shop during the dinner rush. Lots of to-go orders coming into shop. Space heaters were lined up around booths. It was not cold in there not sure why there were space heaters around. Ambiance was very outdated. Booths and chairs were very worn.

Always amazing. Consistently the best carne asada burrito you'll find in the Des Moines metro.read more

I recommed the Margarita El Toreado-a shaker of the tasty beverage that will top off your glass 2-3 times. A couple of others in our group got the Sex on the Beach cocktail - a fruity blast of juices and alcohol. We got a variety of dinner times. I got the Spicy Burrito, which was very tasty, but not spicy...at least on this visit. My wife got the Seafood Enchilada, which was a nice slightly creamy dish. Others got the Arroz Con Pollo (her go-to), Texas Burrito, and 2 got the Carnitas Tacos (their favs). The kids got the Grilled Chicken - a nicely flavored dish, and the other tot got the Kids Enchilada - she ate the whole plate of enchilada, rice, and beans. Our food came out in just a few minutes, and the servers are always checking in and making sure your experience is great. There is indoor and outdoor seating, and they are always genuinely happy to see you! We'll keep coming back again and again!

Ambiance: Inside it feels a little crowded with the table I sat at close to the door and the checkout counter. There is more space in the back. Service: The service was good, replacing the chips and ensuring the water was refilled. Food: The chips and salsa were good. The chips are not too salty and the salsa is mild. The queso is one of the best I've had with a light consistency. For an entree I had beef nachos which were ok but I prefer more queso. Parking: There is plenty of parking. I'll definitely be back to try another menu item.

We seated ourselves and were greeted and served in a timely manner. After being served we were checked on a few times but once our plates were empty, we waited a bit before getting the check. For such low lunch prices, it cost us only a little more than if we would have eaten fast-food. Another plus of the location is that we were able to top off our tanks at the gas station that shares a parking lot with the restaurant.

However, after ordering food it took quite a while for the food to come out and the majority of the food was a beef burrito covered with queso. So I'm not sure why it took so long. The queso was good and the salsa was just ok. Inside there are booths and tables, so plenty of seating. They could make some updates. It's worth a try if you're in the area.

The servings are huge! My husband and I shared a fajita quesadilla and still brought home leftovers. I was slightly disappointed that they serve Pepsi products and their ice tea is not fresh brewed. Service was quick, friendly, and everything was accurate. It's a great place for dinner with family or friends, but is definitely not a date night atmosphere. There are lots of TVs, the tables are close, and those factors leave little room for intimacy. Be aware, they do not take reservations or have a waitlist until you arrive.
