    Hard Shell taco

    There was hardly anything on the taco and the shell was stale. Absolutely ridiculous that they're charging as much as they do for hardly anything.

    Still slow AF. No receipt. No napkins. Underdone oles. Less than an ounce of cheese sauce. Sweet tea is delicious though. Time to take it to Taco Bell.

    I always like their food. I always get something when I'm able. Hopefully they bring back the street tacos

    Ordered a chicken quesadilla. They gave me a cheese quesadilla and still charged me for the chicken.

    I used to love Taco Johns growing up, but this last visit was gross. Way too much "goop" mixed in with the taco meat.

    One of the best Taco John's I've been to. Beans are really really good.

    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.

    2nd time here on a Wednesday for lunch. The service was great, we were seated immediately and they…read moregreeted us w chips & salsa. Food is good and portion size is huge for the price! Their hot sauce is authentic & spicy. 2nd time ordering the nacho fajitas and they didn't skim out on the meat (chicken & steak)! Our kids shared the burrito and they both agreed that it was good, but nothing too special, they liked the nacho fajitas more. Margaritas are $2.99 on Wednesday Decor is pretty simple, nothing fancy.
