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.

We got chips, queso, regular salsa, and hot-hot salsa. The chips are now a lighter type that is just as tasty but not quite as filling. 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!

Nice size menu, easy to decide. Nice choices of drinks. Including aqua frescas! Service is consistently excellent. Friendly, helpful, patient and accommodating. Shop is always clean and upkept in a timely manner. Can get busy during the lunch hour! But there's always a spot for dine in. I love the taco truck vibe without having to be outdoors looking for a spot to sit. This is a nice sit down for a quick bite to eat. Price for 3 tacos $9.97 Aqua Fresca $3.99 Soda and bottled drinks $2-3 Churro $3.xx Can easily spend $40 with gratuity for lunch. I recommend TNT for your street taco cravings if you're in the west side of Des Moines!

Our table ordered : Chrriopollo - was best I've had in metro Chicken enchilada- feedback was very good Watermelon margarita - could tell was fresh not syrup One additional observation was the meal wasn't dripping in cheese / sour cream / slop like many metro Mexican restaurant rather the flavors spoke for themselves Overall Toro Loco will be in our rotation for future stops.

It's right next to the truck stop, which is great for weary travelers who are yearning for some quality food in a nice atmosphere. The place is clean and the staff is friendly and accommodating. I really enjoyed the two meals that I had here. I had the Fish Taco plate my first visit and they were awesome. I especially liked the sauce that was provided on the side and the availability of flour or corn tortillas. Today, I had the Juevos Rancheros plate with black beans replacing the usual offering of refrigerator beans. The eggs, themselves, were smothered in a tasty red sauce. Flour tortillas were served on the side. This meal is so good that I had to force myself to not eat the last several bites of the meal as I was already more than full. Of course, there are the usual drink offerings here both with and without alcohol. I had iced tea both visits, so I cannot really comment to much more about it except to say that the tea is refreshing! In closing, I'm sure you'll enjoy your visit to this nice restaurant. Great for families, couples, and singles alike.

First time trying Los Tres Amigos inside, I've had takeout before and I enjoyed it…read more We were seated pretty quickly. 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.
