Ate here for the first time today and I'm angry at myself that it took me so long to make it over!…read moreOh, I definitely have to make up for lost time. This is the best place in town to get Mexican, hands down. I'm North Mexican; Texas born and bred and only left a few years ago. Normally I head down to Des Moines when I need a legit Mexican food fix, but now I can save on gas because Mexico is RIGHT HERE in Ames! Ames has a few brick and mortar Mexican restaurants; Abelardos (fast food greasy and fried everything), El Azteca (Americanized and not remotely Mexican), Los Altos (not only Americanized and not remotely Mexican, but plain and nasty), Mr. Burrito (fair but could be higher quality), and Carlos Quesadillas (pretty legit and yummy). However, the taco trucks in town are where it's at. They get to focus on the food and not spending money on incessant marketing. Carlos Quesadillas has a truck and both the truck and restaurant are pretty good, Rico's Tacos rocks, and Torteria La Bamba is better than the fast food chains and most brick and mortar restaurants, but it's bottom of the list compared to the other taco trucks. Tacos La Michoacana is a little taco stand outside of a pawn shop selling a small menu of Mexican items. It's made to order, there are two nice benches, plastic utensils and plates, and fresh homemade salsa on the table. There's a mama in there cooking and two adolescents taking orders. The food came out within a reasonable time; hot, fresh, flavorful, and just like auntie's kitchen. If you look through the order window it looks just like an auntie's kitchen in there; big metal pots on the stove and everything. The other places might win local awards (judged by Iowa palates), but the reality is that none of them can compare to Tacos La Michoacana. They aren't flashy, it's simply fantastic food that fills you up for only five dollars. Cash only, folks. And don't waste their time with your broken and offensive attempts at Spanish; they speak English fluently. The reality is that nowhere else in town can hold a candle, but so far I've only seen Latinx people eating there. They are not here to service people that want greasy chicken covered in nacho cheese.

First I enjoyed a couple of lengua and a cabeza taco with cilantro. These were excellent, juicy and flavorful. On another visit they were mysteriously not open.

The lady warned me that the red salsa is hot and she was right. But it is very good as is the green. This is not Norwegian food!

I had a decent amount of sleep the night before. I was rested. I had breakfast and was hydrated. I felt like a nap. When I saw Dows Junction, it was the perfect place to pull over. I needed to fill up my rental car with gas. After that, I decided to get a quick bite to eat at the Arby's that's a part of Dows Junction. There was a drive-thru. I tried it out. I had the nicest, personable man take my order. The two beef and cheddar sandwiches for $7 caught my attention. I love the onions on top of the bun, so I knew that I had to have it. Arby's still has happy hours from 2 pm to 5 pm. I was here for these hours, but my heart wanted the beef and cheddar sandwiches. I got to the pickup window and handed the man my credit card. The transaction went smoothly. I promptly got my food. I thanked the man. He wished me a good day. I reciprocated and left. I drove over to a parking spot and chowed down on one sandwich. The roast beef was yummy. It's what you'd expect at an Arby's. The cheddar was oozing out a bit, but not to the point where eating this sandwich was super messy. The bun was yummy, especially with the onions on top. After eating the first sandwich without getting it all over me, I decided to eat the second one as I continued driving down. I was definitely more alert. I needed food. I figure that I needed a nap because I had an unexpected nose bleed the day before. It probably threw my system off and I simply needed food this day to rebalance everything. I had a great experience here. I'm thankful that I got to fuel my car and me with the BP and Arby's, respectively, located steps away from each other. (395)

Therefore, we ordered to go. It was about a 12-15 minute wait for food; by that time, some of the tables were empty but very messy, so we still ate in the car. Thankfully, our order was accurate. My husband had the currently advertised special of hush puppy-coated fish strips with curly fries, while I had the turkey bacon ranch sandwich. We shared mozzarella sticks. The food was fine, though it required careful eating in the car. I don't think I'd stop here for food again, though, not unless I saw it was empty.
