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!

That is definitely not the case here. Nina's Tacos gets Birria right. I must confess that I've never had a Birria burrito before, so I wasn't quite sure what to expect. My favorite dining companion opted for the Sopes de Birria. I'll admit when I first opened my takeout box, I was in shock...in a good way. The Birria burrito was beautiful...and massive. The crispy exterior was very enticing. I knew I was going to have to cut it in half. I wasn't going to be able to handle this baby in one sitting. Cutting it in half revealed a delicious cross-section of juicy, delicious birria, cheese, and cilantro. I pretty much started drooling immediately. The first bite was downright heavenly. The first half of the burrito was gone in no time, and I was totally stuffed. My favorite dining companion also very much enjoyed her Sopes de Birria. They too were very large and had lots of juicy birria and delicious veggies. She finished maybe a third of hers before throwing in the towel and saving the rest for later. If you are craving Birria like I was, look no further. Nina's Tacos absolutely delivers. We will definitely be back again soon.

So Taqueria Marissa has really good birria tacos... I was told by MANY people I had to try Nina's Tacos. So you all weren't wrong! Some darn good birria and I love the variety! Going to a farmers market to find her tacos kind of bit me in the butt though. A bag of freeze dried candy, a pie, and Nina's pretty much killed a Franklin. The farmers market and Nina's were easy to find. A big red trailer in the lot with quite a few vendor canopies at 5229 E University Ave in Pleasant Hill.... It's easy to spot. I was pretty close to their first customer today. I left work in West Des Moines at 330 pm and took 235E to University out to Pleasant Hill. 1 birria crunch wrap - $15 3 birria lumpia - $10 3 quesa birria tacos - $10 Everything came with limes and make sure you indulge in their hot sauce! $35 before tip and she gave me a free Coke to enjoy while I waited. Service was wonderful. We visited a bit at the window. I shared it was my first time ordering from Nina's and I'd driven across the metro to find her. I had a short wait for my order and a few people started to stack up at the window as I waited. The birria tacos were my favorite. The other two items lacked nothing. Their birria and consume in any form is top notch! SO tender and I love the flavor! Now if I had to compare Nina's against Marissa and Flame.... Why? It's like comparing three precious gems... ‍ Would I drive across town again? Heck yeah! That's really all I should need to say. Lots of menu items I haven't tried yet and it's a fun little growing farmers market everyone should check out. Especially if the crowds on Saturday morning aren't your thing. https://www.facebook.com/PleasantHillIowaFarmersMarket?mibextid=LQQJ4d https://www.facebook.com/ninastaco?mibextid=LQQJ4d

The cemitas are packed with food. I recommend the milanesa one!! Their tacos are made of homemade tortillas. You only need one because they are ENORMOUS. Very few Mexican places have good horchata or aguas frescas because they are usually watered down with all the ice. I recommend the agua de melón and agua de horchata. This is all good quality food. They have other traditional dishes from Puebla. Everything is fresh, delicious, and with generous portions. The customer service is phenomenal. They treat you very well! They are approachable, friendly, and patient. It was my first time there and I had a lot of questions. They kindly answered them. They also have a great system. They have speakers and call out your name when your food is ready that way you don't have to stand outside waiting, you can just wait in your car. We showed up at 10:45pm and they still had tons of people ordering food. When you see a lot of people ordering, it's a good sign. I also love supporting this business because they started from the bottom. They used to only cater and sometimes sell at the bailes. They worked so hard to make this food truck a reality. They also support local non profits. They always give back to the community. Support local!

If you can eat this by yourself you should be making better choices. It tastes great and its well put together. But you better be ready to share it or save some for later.

This place was real busy when I arrived. Get over here and don't forget to have the Oaxaca cheese on that sandwich.

The ladies working the window were wonderfully delightful. So polite and smiles that just make your day a little brighter... The parking area around the truck is gravel, but spacious and with two entrances/exits off the road. They are a cash only truck. I ordered the Chori Pollo Burrito and a Pastor Torta, The total for the two items was $16 before tip. They present you with a beeper so you can wait for your order in your car. You can do that... But if you like the smell of seasoned cooking meat and vegetables you'll want to just stand there and enjoy a little fresh air and let your olfactory senses take you on a journey. After a bout with Covid I enjoy the taste and smell of food just a little bit more right now anyway. I was the only customer there when I arrived and it was a short wait. Bang for your buck... This is not a truck where you feel like you've overspent and walk away still hungry. You know those fat little babies...? When they're pudging up and look like they can only roll from one place to another? This burrito reminded me of the knee to the hip on one of those little roly poly rug rats. You know what I'm saying... Right? The torta was a little lighter in heft, but just as big. Each item filled its to go container, was accompanied with grilled onions and a roasted pepper, and two different hot sauces. The verde sauce was my favorite of the two. The meat and vegetables were cooked perfectly. The meats were seasoned nicely. Everything was fresh and tender. The roll the torta came on was soft, but the outside surface still had a little crunch to it. The creaminess of fresh avocado and cheese in the torta really hit the mark. I love my local Clive businesses and I wish I'd stopped in here sooner. Good people and good food. https://www.facebook.com/elburritoloco1406/

She teased that I wouldn't be interested since I'd just come back from Mexico, but of course we went anyway. At first, we were disappointed to find a fireworks tent had taken their spot. A couple of texts and calls later, we learned they'd be back the next day. Two days later, we finally made it -- and wow. First bite reaction: mind‑blowingly good. The food is incredible, but what makes this place unforgettable is the people behind it. Whether it's the staff, family, or owners (I didn't ask), they radiate big smiles and genuine gratitude for doing what they love . If I could bottle one thing from our Mexican neighbors, it would be their JOY -- that positive outlook that shines no matter what's happening in the world. This taco truck has it, and it's contagious. So here's my verdict: line up. I rarely say this, but this spot is a NEVER miss.
