They ignored me and my girlfriends special instructions AND THE FOOD WAS BLAND (salt would go a long way) but that's not the worst of it.

Family of 3 visited on a Monday around 5:30pm. The place was already lively with patrons but not…read moretoo busy. We got seated right away. The place has great natural light. There's an option for outside canopy shaded seating but it was too hot for us. The large food portions were huge and excellent tasting! The bathroom was clean but the hand towel dispenser didn't work. The music was a tad bit on the too loud side. The salsa had a nice kick and salsa verde was super yummy. The chips were super fresh and served warm. The wait staff was super attentive. My daughter had the steak burrito, I had the seafood Hacienda Vieja (served enchilada style) and my husband had the Cielo Mar Tierra (chicken, steak and shrimp). Everything was perfectly cooked and the price couldn't be beat for the amount of food! Coming back again & again!

I would not recommend this place. The food was poor tasting. The rice had no flavor at all and…read moretasted watery. The fajitas were made up of mainly the peppers, hardly any meat at all. The nachos were soggy, I had asked that the toppings be put on the side however the request went unanswered. I was expecting so much better considering the reviews I read before hand ​

This is my second time dining here and it has been consistently amazing…read more The serving staff is always great. It is surprising to see how quickly they move when the place is crowded. They always have my order accurately done. While it is not a 5 star decor, it is always spotless and I appreciate that they don't cram too many tables in the room. This allows a sense of privacy so you can have a conversation. For some fun, try sitting at the bar to watch the wizardry of the bartender. The food is delicious and the serving are enormous! The first time we dined here I had the steak fajitas and my husband had a pork dish. When the food arrived we decided we could have shared one dish. We both took home lunch for the following day. Today I am alone, so will end up with leftovers. My favorite aspect of the food is that I have an option other than disgusting refried beans. Spending much of my life in Central America we ate lots of black beans, so I love that I can enjoy them here.

The vegetables were way overcooked. The super flour tacos were terrible. The flour shells tasted old and seemed to have a taste like someone threw them onto a hot electric heating coils. Taste was awful. Meat was tasteless. No flavor. I found them almost inedible. In fact I thought I was going to feel ill when I was there. But just stopped eating them. The quesidilla was ok but rather overcooked. Not the best. I will not be back. We tipped the waiter as it was not his fault. But $74 for 3 lunch items was steep for such poor quality meals.

I hate to give negative reviews but…read more.. We just stopped in for some margaritas on the patio overlooking Coper Creek Lake. They had a special on margs so we ordered those. What we got was a very syrupy, sweet and almost non alcoholic version of a margarita. If there was any tequila in there it was a drop or two. I asked for 'mas tequila' and it never came... We have been here before a few times and had a pretty good experience sitting at the bar, but something has changed since it reopened. We ordered some guacamole and it was very plain. Even the salsa lacked the flavors we were expecting. I hate to be so negative, but when there are so many Mexican Restaurant options in Des Moines - you have to do better. The patio was dirty and neglected with trash and debris blowing around and and patio furniture all need attention and cleaning. But hey the the company and view was great! Hopefully this restaurant gets back on track, we love a good Mexican restaurant but we will most likely not go back to this one again.
