    Original Taco Bell
    Raiann J.

    After I landed at DSM, this was my first stop before checking into the hotel. Amazing restaurant and amazing tacos!! This was my first time ever eating at this tasty taco restaurant and I was as usual highly impressed.

    Chicken Flour Taco
    Jon K.

    I've eaten Tasty Tacos original flour tacos since I was a kid, back when they were being sold out of a shed-turned-restaurant next to the road on Grand Avenue. A few years back I decided to try the bean tacos. They aren't bad if you're looking for a non-meat option. Tasy Tacos run specials on them for Lent, and you could do worse elsewhere, but that isn't the point of this review. Today I decided to change things up and ordered 2 chicken flour tacos. This was my first time ordering chicken tacos here. like to switch things up every once in a while and try something new. I wasn't expecting much from a chicken taco -- maybe some ground dark meat with some beans in it. I was totally wrong. What I got was seasoned strips of white meat with the lettuce and cheese that we expect from Tasty Tacos. FULL DISCLOSURE: I season my tacos using the sauce packets available as that sauce isn't as watery as their name brand sauce can be. I also ordered some sour cream. I find that one side of sour cream is sufficient for 2-3 tacos. My order was ready before I was done getting my napkins and sauce. The chicken was warm and there was plenty of it. The flavor of the chicken taco was amazing, possibly making it the best-tasting taco they offer, in my opinion. I will definitely be trying these chicken flour tacos again. To verify. For science.

    Puffy flour tacos

    A must try place for all Taco Lovers out there!! No need to go to Texas or Mexico for their puffy flour tacos since here is the real deal at Tasty Taco! Service was quick and fast with Authentic Mexican restaurant ambiance as you walk in. Can't beat the price at only $4 per taco with any meats you want plus homemade salsa to go with your taco!! Came for 4 of their puffy tacos and left with 24 orders of it.

    Food should be good. Hardly any meat in my flour taco at all. This is crap for the price. It used to be good. I'd post a picture if I could. Ankeny location

    First of all - if you do not like Tasty Tacos, you must not be from Des Moines. It's on the test to see who's really from Des Moines, and who is not. Everyone in Des Moines loves Tasty Tacos, and if you do not you must not be from here. I love Tasty Tacos. The beans, the meat, the flour tortilla -- it's a like a warm hug welcoming you home. I could eat these forever. If I was on death row I would order this. Their salsa on top makes this absolutely perfect. I'm not here for any taco snobs questioning the authenticity of these tacos. If you prefer a different style of taco -- good for you. Mexicans are a diverse group of people and tacos vary based on where you live. I can with 100% say with confidence that -- this is Des Moines' taco!! Thank you Mosqueda family for bringing this gift to the Des Moines community, I can't imagine Des Moines without it.

    First timer here at Tasty Tacos, not from around the area. If I was going to rate it on a scale out of 1-10 from price, environment and food here is how it would go. Food 8.8: The flour taco is pretty good I like the crisp to it and the ingredients on it were pretty good and it didn't have any after effects after eating it. Only docked the numbers because of grease from the meat Environment 8.4: Pretty authentic Mexican restaurant. They have a mural and peppers on the fans it really feels like your in a legit Mexican restaurant plus food came out pretty quick, only down side is that there is no music Price 7.1: The price was decent with the size of the tacos and how they were made. Personally I wish there $2.75 that would be a reasonable price. Average rating was a 8.1 would probably go here again if I was in town. P.S. put the taco sauce on for every bite makes it better

    The name says it all. I have never had a bad experience at Tasty taco! They are locally owned and a welcome quick lunch when you are surrounded by the big corporate restaurant names. I would rather eat here than almost anywhere else along this Ankeny strip of road. There is not a bad thing on the menu. The staff are always helpful. The lady who took our order today was very sweet and she was quick to get everyone through the line. Today was my normal the juicy delicious pork flour taco and I tried the steak flour as well. Both delicious. I can't get over three light fluffy shells are too die for. Taco taco taco!!!

    Would be very healthy not serving ground up rodent n the meat. There was nasty taste of wild tasting meat in my tacos

    Different type of shell- like a gyro. It's ok but I wouldn't make any special trip. Better than Taco Bell

    Kicking myself for not getting in here sooner…read more Yelp reviews got us in the door. The food, staff and atmosphere will get us back. On a random Monday evening we decided to stop in. The special was written on a board by the door. The Guava Margarita caught my eye. We were quickly sat and here is how it went. M: Mexican cuisine is outstanding here. A: All you can eat chips and salsa brought to your table. Great Salsa. R: Recommendations from the bartender/server for his favorite meal. G: Guava Margarita is a must have. A: A large menu to choose from. R: Reasonably priced restaurant I: I had to fight my husband off my meal. T: Tasty meals thrilled us. A: A full stomach is how we left Hubby ordered Burrito Carnitas with steak, onion, bell pepper, topped with green sauce, cabbage & melted Jack cheese. The bartender/waiter told me he had the Carne Asada:Charcoal grilled sliced skirt steak served with guacamole, roasted onions and jalapenos. Comes with the same cabbage and beans. The flavor was amazing. I fought off my husband off my plate. It was enough food for 2 meals and did not disappoint. Amazing. This meal was a little more than I usually get, but I might have started something.

    Tried Lindo Jalisco today and honestly this was a really solid spot. Every dish had great flavor…read moreand came out fresh and hot. The fajitas were sizzling when they hit the table with generous portions of chicken, steak, shrimp, and vegetables cooked perfectly. The enchiladas were loaded with flavor, covered in sauce and cheese, and paired really well with the rice and beans. The restaurant has a nice open concept with plenty of seating and a relaxed atmosphere that makes it easy to sit down and enjoy the meal. Service was quick, food came out hot, and overall the experience was smooth from start to finish. Definitely a nice change of pace for Ankeny and a spot worth checking out if you want solid Mexican food with good portions and flavor. Will definitely be back to try more items on the menu.
