I usually go to the one on Douglas avenue. It's a very clean place,with helpful staff. They offer a wide variety of paletas (Mexican popsicles) with lots of flavors. My favorites coconut, pistachio, and strawberries and cream my next to try is mango con chile They are also hand-scooped ice cream in unique and classic flavors (such as pistachio with real nut pieces, dulce de leche, Oreo, watermelon, and Ferrero) Also want try Mangonadas (fruit cups loaded with chamoy, chili, and fresh mango) Vegan-friendly options are also available. They also feature Mexican Street Food & Meals like Tacos, quesabirria, and steak or carne asada burritos. Elote (street corn), tortas (such as Torta Cubana), tamales, and freshly cut fries or carne asada fries. They make classic Aguas frescas in refreshing flavors like hibiscus (jamaica) and cantaloupe. I always see lots of Mexican local families there , and that speaks to their authenticity. If you haven't tried it , it 's well worth

There are some picnic benches on site to eat your food there or you can take it to go, maybe have a picnic like I often do.

I have a gluten allergy so the elote chorreado, their drinks, ice cream, fresas con crema, raspados and regular mangonada is something I can enjoy. My brothers and sister in law can vouch for everything else since they don't have an allergy. My youngest brother raves about the gansito ice cream. Let me tell you before my allergy i loved gansitos. It's like a Mexican chocolate cream/strawberry jelly filling twinkie. Better than twinkies actually I must say. If you're feeling adventurous and craving something sweet, salty or both come try this place out. I assure you there's something here for everyone.

After a whirlwind of travel -- 10 days in Mexico, a quick 5 at home in Florida, and then off to…read moreIowa -- my daughter reminded me of her favorite taco truck. She teased that I wouldn't be interested since I'd just come back from Mexico, but of course we went anyway. At first, we were disappointed to find a fireworks tent had taken their spot. A couple of texts and calls later, we learned they'd be back the next day. Two days later, we finally made it -- and wow. First bite reaction: mind‑blowingly good. The food is incredible, but what makes this place unforgettable is the people behind it. Whether it's the staff, family, or owners (I didn't ask), they radiate big smiles and genuine gratitude for doing what they love . If I could bottle one thing from our Mexican neighbors, it would be their JOY -- that positive outlook that shines no matter what's happening in the world. This taco truck has it, and it's contagious. So here's my verdict: line up. I rarely say this, but this spot is a NEVER miss. Try it once, and you'll be planning your return before you finish your taco! times ten. A rare rating from me.

Paleteria La Michoacana is a Des Moines institution and whether you are a local or a visitor, you…read moremust come by and enjoy their wonderful offerings and ambiance. Located in La Placita (mostly Latino) business corridor, all your cravings for Mexican food will be satisfied here. I have been coming to this place since around 2012 and have never been disappointed. My most recent visit was this weekend (June 2020) when my friends and I stopped for ice cream and aguas frescas (refreshing fruit drinks/infusions). The pistachio ice cream is honestly one of the best desserts I have ever had: creamy and flavorful ice cream, with TONS of real pistachio pieces. It's a pistachio lover's dream. Other delicious offerings are their carne asada fries (which are as good as they sound - freshly made french fries topped with carne asada and all of the toppings), their taquitos and flautas (crispy and flavorful!), and their champurrado in the fall and winter months (hot beverage with a thick consistency because it's partly made with masa/corn meal flour - chocolate, walnut or guava flavors, keeps you super warm in the Iowa winter!). And of course, lots of ice creams and ice cream pops: a lovely variety of flavors, excellent quality. Here you can also buy pinatas and other packaged Mexican snacks. Paleteria La Michoacana is a must in Des Moines

I love me some Mexican Ice Cream. This shop has a parking lot in the rear and sells food, ice…read morecream, and some grocery items. They have a decent-sized dining area here for patrons to sit and eat. They also have burritos, elote, frescas, torta, epandas, popsicles, hand-scooped ice cream, maganadas, smoothies, banana splits, and fries. The staff was friendly enough, but my interaction with them was very brief. I ordered the strawberries and cream. It was ready in less than 5 minutes. The strawberries were so fresh. It was really good. I wish the cream were a bit thicker, though. It was very runny. Anyway, this is a nice spot to get some Mexican food and a sweet treat to go along with it. I would recommend checking this place out, and I look forward to coming back and trying some more of their traditional Mexican frozen treats.

We ordered two pastor tacos. The meat was tender and flavorful. Although the pork was covered in red sauce, it was not very spicy at all (and I usually am sensitive to spicy food). The workers here were friendly and the food was prepared quickly. Their menu is quite extensive and prices seemed reasonable. The place loses a star because they did not have any salsas already prepackaged for carry out orders. Their salsa selection was in front of the counter where you order, in an open dish, which I thought was quite unsanitary since anyone could sneeze into it or bugs could crawl into it.

Well I drove by the truck on the way home. We have talked about going for a long time. I walk in the door and whispered the magic word, "tacos?" The next thing I know we are walking right down the block. I love a home cooked meal and this is exactly what you're getting. I have recently come to enjoy Chimichanga. I ordered mine -without beans- and a coke. My partner in adventures ordered a burrito. His burrito was huge. ;) We ate like kings for $14.00. My Chimichanga came out piping hot. Everything was rolled together and was with delicious tasting meat. It was not smothered in cheese, it was more like a garnish which was great cause then i don't only taste cheese. His burrito was stuffed full of all its glory and came with a couple chips. We sat in the setting sun under the tent and gorged ourselves on what we feel was as authentic homemade Mexican meal. We thanked the cook and praised him on the food and tipped him generously. He was out there in the heat of a food truck and sun and making delicious food for who knows how many or how little of a crowd each time. We are going back,
