If you’re wanting a sit down wait in your own vehicle it’s great. Food is good but not worth the wait. Seems like new management the last 6 months and they are running it the ground. One car ahead of me both times and the first took 17 minutes to leave the second took 8.

I love their food. I came to this location and the one in waukee so many times. Before, I never check the receipt after I ordered. This time I decided to take a look. Then I found out the price they charged me is higher than the price on menu. For #23 and #24 , the price on both of their in-store menu and online menu are $10.99 and $12.99. But they charged me $11.43 and $13.51. I tried to ask the employee about it. The answer they gave me was the price changed. But the new price only in their checkout computer. The paper menu, website menu and the big screen menu in store are all showing the old price. First of all, I’m ok with they change their price, a lot of restaurants do that. But they should let customer know that before they place the order, not after. So for the experience I had this time , food is 5 star, the price scam is 1 star.

I didn’t eat inside so don’t know what it’s like. I ordered thru the drive, I had no issues the only problem I had was the wait time time, I did ordered the super nachos and the beef burrito so understand the 18 minute wait time. The food was delicious. I would definitely go back and eat here again. The staff was nice and polite.

Can I give negative stars??? I am so disappointed. I literally waited an half hour+ for 4 “chicken” street tacos. Honestly I wanted some street tacos so bad (I drove from 2nd Ave to Douglas) that I was willing to wait with no issue. However, I finally got my tacos and I am not sure what I got ♀️ I got how and tried it and it tasted like canned tuna (I can’t even eat fish or sea food) the texture of the meat was I don’t even know but not chicken, same as taste which gagged me (again I can’t do tuna, fish or anything that smells/tastes like it), I mean I vomited. I literally wasted around $13 for something that went into the trash. If I could’ve went back I would’ve and got my money back. I am not sure if it was an off night or a normal thing (my first time) but extremely discussing So disappointing especially after the uncalled for wait for what is supposed to be “fast restaurant style food”. Never again…. All I wanted was a few street tacos ♀️

This bad review is mostly for the drive thru guy or the receptionist, but you know, he represents the restaurant, so I guess it goes for the entire unit.

RIG TIME!
It’s impossible for us to come to Des Moines without stopping here. Glorious food, large portions, super late dine hours, 24 hour drive thru and a fantastic sauce bar inside. An absolute favorite for comforting, no frills mexican food with tons of flavor and guaranteed to fill you up.

They usually only have one cook and refuses to hire anyone else. I have waited over 40 mins on 3 different occasions.
