Had the carna asada tacos with guacamole, and ordered some beef enchiladas with queso on top. Guacamole did not have any flavor. Carne asada didn't taste like carne asada I was used to. It tasted more of a roasted and chopped up birria meat flavor. Every taco shop is different and have their own flavor. This place is not my flavor. Queso on enchiladas was a little bland too. I did enjoy the guacamole salsa that is packable at their sauce counter. Total was $31.xx. Tap to pay was accepted. Quiet shop during the dinner rush. Lots of to-go orders coming into shop. Space heaters were lined up around booths. It was not cold in there not sure why there were space heaters around. Ambiance was very outdated. Booths and chairs were very worn.

Always amazing. Consistently the best carne asada burrito you'll find in the Des Moines metro.read more

The servings are huge! My husband and I shared a fajita quesadilla and still brought home leftovers. I was slightly disappointed that they serve Pepsi products and their ice tea is not fresh brewed. Service was quick, friendly, and everything was accurate. It's a great place for dinner with family or friends, but is definitely not a date night atmosphere. There are lots of TVs, the tables are close, and those factors leave little room for intimacy. Be aware, they do not take reservations or have a waitlist until you arrive.
