Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

Delicious and good service. Low prices and authentic. We are from the southwest and did not expect such good Mexican in Iowa. It was a very pleasant surprise.

I've driven by this place several times but I always thought it was a bar! We went in today after reading the reviews on here an were thoroughly impressed!!! The place is not fancy by any means but the food is worth the lack of ambiance. The three of us all ordered something different and they were all equally FANTASTIC. Typically you get a bland flavor of meat in most Mexican restaurants but this was flavored perfectly. We will put it on our lunch circuit going forward!!

By far the best tacos I have had in Des Moines, the Mexico City tacos are beyond good, and the fried flour taco is absolutely unreal! So many Mexican restaurants in Des Moines all taste the same, this place stands out because of the flavor! No bland food here!!

This little family run restaurant has become one of my favorite spots. Service is great, the food is excellent and the $1.99 margarita's hit the spot

Friendly family owned Mexican restaurant. I normally stick with the fajitas that are slightly different than other similar establishments. The fajitas come with a choice of corn or flour tortilla. I really love their corn tortillas. Their refried beans are OK but their rice is one of the best Mexican/Spanish style rice I have ever had. I don't care for their salsa but that is a personal preference since I prefer cooked or roasted salsa. The patrons usually consists of race car t-shirt wearing families. They have $3 (they were raised from $2) sugary margaritas that are average but always cheap and stiff. They also have many Mexican beers for around $3 a bottle. Dated decor but clean. It may be tricky to find if you aren't familiar with the east side, about a 7 minute drive from downtown and very inexpensive.

This is a wonderful hole in the wall restaurant. The food is wonderful, the service is great, and the prices can't be beat. We went late on a Saturday night and we were greeted with smiles from everyone, the food was well prepared even though it was getting close to closing time, and the service couldn't be better. We will be back for sure

Was in the area so I went to Yelp to see if there was a decent Mexican Restaurant close to the Iowa Lutheran Hospital. The reviews were kind of old and there weren't many but the pictures looked good so we decided to be adventurous. Let me start by saying it's not fancy but you will not be disappointed. The salsa was very good. My sister had the ground beef taco's and I had the chicken enchilada's. I know it's basic but we both really enjoyed our meal. If I am ever in the area again I would definitely eat there. Give it a try.

Awesome! We are here for the WPX from Arizona. It was as good as it is home. Close & convenient - right by the fairgrounds.

I had heard from some friends of mine how good the Restaurant was. I did a little research online and read they offered $1.99 Margaritas every day. If that wasn't reason alone to step foot in the establishment and see what all the "fuss" was about, nothing is. When I arrived at the Restaurant on Thursday night with my brother, there was a lot of cars parked in their make-shift parking lot. I can't even begin to imagine how busy they'd be on a Friday night or Saturday night, or the inability for someone to find a parking spot to eat there as a result. Anyways, we walk towards the entrance and it's not the slightest bit appealing to look at. Looks like a dive in fact, but that doesn't mean the food won't be good. If "fancy" or "classy" is what you're looking for, you're going to the wrong place. This is an "Eastside" establishment, and for those of you who don't understand what I mean by that, then it's probably best you keep eating in West Des Moines or Clive and stay away from the Eastside of Des Moines. We enter the restaurant, and wait to be seated. There's a huge party of people (10-15) being loud, obnoxious, and indifferent to anyone else. Personally that's not an issue for either my brother or I, so it didn't bother us. What was being discussed and said would bother me though if I was with my Mother, or small children so keep that in mind too. That continued the entire time they were there until they left (we dealt with it for about 20 minutes- they did apologize to us, and we said "It's fine. It doesn't bother us at all"). I also noticed at the front counter that there was sign stating "Effective January 2014, Margaritas will be $2.99". It didn't leave a very good first impression on me just walking in for the first time, but I get it. They probably had "similar unruly types" drinking 5 or more of them and causing problems. So we sit down, start perusing the menu, and immediately order a couple Margaritas. They were very good, and quite stiff. A lime in them, salt on the rim of the glass (it was very good tasting), and what seemed to be Margarita Mix with a cheap Tequila. It was so good that my brother and I ordered another for our meal. I got their "Tequilas Burrito", and my brother got a platter with Enchilada, Flour Taco, and Burrito. Both entrees came with refried beans, and rice. I failed to mention that they brought out Chips and Salsa for us too when we first sat down. The salsa was incredible, with tomatos, onions, green peppers, and had some kick to it. The chips weren't anything fantastic, but decent enough to snack on. I did next what I always do when I eat at an Authentic Mexican Restaurant. I taste the rice, and by that alone I know whether the entire meal will be good or not. Wow the rice was fantastic, and the refried beans even better. My beef burrito was huge (you can choose what meat you want- Beef, Steak, Chicken, Pork) and I could barely eat half of it. My brother enjoyed his Beef Taco, Chicken Enchilada, and Beef Burrito entree too. He also had the choice of what meat he wanted for each. It was the kind of meal where it was so good you wanted to keep eating it, but you also knew that you'd feel miserable if you ate the entire thing. I took food home, and it was as good if not better left over too. I would highly recommend this Restaurant if you're a "substance over style" type person. I could see a situation where I took a date to the Restaurant and she being reluctant to be there or eat there seeing it. Once she tasted that margarita and their food, her mind would immediately change I'm sure though. It's a "diamond in the rough" as I told my brother. For the both of us (4 margaritas and two entrees) the total came to just over $32 dollars, which isn't too bad. I can't wait to go again and order their Fajitas which everyone recommended to me. The Chimichanga, Cheese Enchiladas, and many other entrees were "intriguing" to me too. I had a difficult time deciding what I wanted in fact. Also, they have a Lunch Menu that is cheaper than their Dinner Menu. I would imagine during the week it wouldn't be too busy either if you went that route.

Crazy good. Plan on making this my new Mexican restaurant of choice. They have really cheap margs, really good food, really huge portions. It's a little small and stuffy but the family feel is really great. Excellent hot sauce.
