    "Cheese Quesadilla"

    I'm only giving them one star because I have to. My grandma, mom and I all went into this Taco John's for a late lunch to celebrate an early Mother's Day. We had the absolute worst experience. First, I walked up to the counter to order my food. I had ordered a cheese quesadilla, large ole, and a large drink. My mom and family then ordered 4 beef tacos and two small ole. We paid, to which the cashier didn't know how to count change, and then stood there and waited for our drink cups. After we had to ask for our drink cups, we sat down and waited for our food. The taco's and ole had arrived to the table but I didn't receive my food. I had went up to the counter after 15 minutes of waiting to ask where my food was and they proceeded to tell me I had received all my food. They then said, "Where is your receipt?". I showed them, the employee then proceeded to slam a tortilla on the grill, throw some cheese in it, and then threw a small ole in the bag. Once the employee slammed the bag down on the counter, I told him I ordered a large ole, he then threw the large ole in the bag and walked away. At this point, I had asked to not receive my food, and asked for a refund to which, they ignored, said I could have my food to go and walked away. Once I got my food, because they practically shoved it in my face, I had taken two bites of my cheese quesadilla to realize it wasn't even cooked all the way. This was the worst customer service I have ever received, not to mention their cleanliness was subpar. I will not be going back to a Taco John's for a very long time.

    First time here. My friend who is a local likes this restaurant so we are giving it a go…read more Busy parking lot. The ambiance is standard Mexican restaurant. Bright colored walls. Decorations from the ceiling. The restaurant inside was smaller than it appears outside. Busy for a weekday evening. My friends were already seated with chips and salsa. The margaritas were on the table for the evening special. Kind waiter. He was attentive and we placed our orders. At our table of 4 my friends all enjoyed their food. I ordered the Burrito Especial: Beef burrito with red sauce, topped with grated cheese, lettuce, tomatoes & sour cream. I think it just was not what I was craving. It felt small and underwhelming. It had good flavor, but just wasn't hitting the spot. The margarita was strong and chips were plentiful so I did not leave hungry. I know there is not a ton of options in Indianola. I would come back to try it again if we venture that way again.

    Food was amazing. Everyone was friendly. The waiter checked on us & ask how everything was. The…read morerestaurant was clean. There were only two issues. First my husband ordered the fajita burrito & he said the seasoning was too strong like they used too much. The biggest issue is I used my card. The total from last night's dinner was $51.25. I gave $7.50 tip. They should have taken out $58.75 but $60.75 was withdrawn from my account. I'm just glad I had the money in the bank to cover that.

They are related, but Fiesta in Pleasant Hill is the shunned and estranged disappointment cousin of Fiesta North Liberty. The service was slow. The food didn't have much depth of flavor. The margaritas weren't sweet or flavorful. I will say that the restaurant was spacious and decently quiet. I may go for nachos again in the future, but there are better places to go in the greater Des Moines area.

    This place was great! We were pleasantly surprised…read more We got food for 5 as takeaway. Website was satisfied! A chicken quesadilla for the four year old, grandpa got pork tacos, grandma got a steak burrito, my husband got birria Ramen, and I got seafood enchiladas. We also got 2 margaritas to go. And a few dips and salsas. The portions were huge especially the Ramen. Everyone liked what they ordered. The guacamole was great too. My seafood enchiladas had a great creamy sauce and the crab and shrimp were well cooked. The margaritas were very strong! The only thing we did not like was the avocado salsa, and the chips tasted a little stale. It was very watery and bland.
