The asada tacos are top tier and worth more than they charge, absolutely delicious, and stupid quick (12 tacos in less than 5 minutes). 100% the best taco truck tacos I've had in Des Moines, making this a bi-weekly dinner stop.

Best tacos and burritos in Des Moines! They catered my high school graduation party as well and it was such a hit with the guests. Good prices and even better food!

It’s legit. Been looking for a good taco spot since moving to Des Moines this summer and this is the one I’m sticking with. Al pastor was great!

One of the top contenders for us when we go get tacos. The food truck staff is friendly and service is quick. The tacos are loaded with food and flavor and the quesadillas are amazingly delicious. Forgive my picture I forgot to take photos until everything was almost gone! As usual like most taco trucks, cash only FYI.

Don’t be fooled driving by, we had some seriously good tacos here. Just don’t expect something like Taco (B)Hell or any other watered done Americanized chain store selling what they call Mexican food. This is REALLY good authentic Mexican fare. We had pescado, camaron, al pastor, lengua, tripas, and azada tacos on corn tortillas… ALL amazing. My 12 year old asked to go a second time on the same day!! …. This would be a regular stop if we lived in Des Moines. Sadly we don’t. But it’ll be a reason to visit more frequently. FYI, It is cash only. Finally made it back for another go… we tried the tacos de Tripas, cabeza, pollo, puerco, pescado, asada, and a steak burrito… All were amazing. But if I had to pick… tacos de cabeza would win the day hands down… just amazing!! We fed 3 people on $26 and were were all very full ! Try that at McDonald’s!!!

Great tacos and a friendly staff. Some of the best I’ve had in Des Moines - moist and flavorful meat and great tortillas served with all the proper fixings. Salsa options are great as well. Wish they had Mexican coke in the glass bottles though!
