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!

If you recall my first rating, you can recall I was not very happy with my time. With great joy and happiness I can say for sure, that this was one of the best experiences I've ever had at a restaurant. This is due to the idea and the concept of shrimp in this establishment, me and my contemporary, Fredrick, had a great time consuming this fine food. The service was quick and good as always, the ambiance was just what I was looking for on this fine cool Monday afternoon. In conclusion this fine establishment has made up for its last transgression against me 10/10 would come again. Thaddeus

I didn't care for the beans in my taco. I would have asked they be removed if I had known. It isn't listed on the menu that they are in the taco. They must have given me the spicy salsa. Or their mild is spicy. Not sure but it wasn't worth the effort to ask since the employees were focused on doing closing chores. The queso tastes straight up like melted American cheese. It isn't worth the calories. No razzamatazz in that queso. They don't advertise that it does have it either. The environment wasn't overly welcoming. The crew was more concerned with getting their side work done and it was two hours before closing. Parts of the lobby were shut down. It is fast food so ambiance is not a big factor to the experience for this genre in general.

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!

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.

Oh my gosh I cannot say enough good things about this place…read more My mom and I were here visiting from out of town the other day and we had the best time. Salsa served when you are seated. I got the birria tacos and they were delicious. They were STUFFED with birria meat and each taco had a juicy lime wedge. It came with consommé as well. Quite possibly the best birria I've ever had (and I have a lot lol). Service here was quick, informative, and attentive. Our server was very kind. The restaurant was quiet when we were there, but we ate early around 4. Something I saw was they have a new item that caught my eye: horchata iced coffee. YUM. It was too late in the day for me to grab some at the time but if I'm back, I have to try. If you are wondering where this is, it's right next to Target! So, lots of parking! They have a couple spots over there by the restaurant too.
