There are some picnic benches on site to eat your food there or you can take it to go, maybe have a picnic like I often do. There's just something about a paper plate overflowing with tacos that demands it be eaten outside, ya know?

The steak had an interesting mustard flavor and the rice in the burrito was very tasty. The burrito was enough for 2 people. The mini tacos were like street tacos. I really enjoyed the steak and pork. Steak was the same as the burrito and the pork had a slightly sweet flavor. I never enjoy chorizo but someday I will find one I enjoy. The tacos had cilantro and large onions which I enjoyed. The multiple sauces were also delightful and spicy. The guacamole was smooth and almost a sour cream texture. Oh and the homemade tortillas were excellent. They make them at this location.

Chips, salsas, guacamole and queso were all phenomenal. Really hit the spot. Love the option of being able to order single tacos. I tried a shrimp, asada and al pastor. Loved them all, especially the shrimp. Shrimp wasn't too fishy like you get some places. It was cooked well and great flavor. Vibe inside was homey and laid back. Server was very attentive, which we really appreciated! This place should definitely have better reviews.

I had heard great things about this place so my husband and I finally tried it for dinner…read more Unfortunately, we thought the food was just average. I couldn't understand how this place had so many positive reviews. I got three street tacos (two asada and one pastor) and my husband got three enchiladas (asada, pastor and chicken). The presentation of the food was nice but the taste overall could have been better. The meat in my tacos and in the enchiladas could have used a little more seasoning. We found it a little bland. My husband said the chicken in his enchilada wasn't seasoned at all. I was very disappointed with the three salsas they included. They were just hot and didn't taste like anything. The salsa that came with the chips was very tomato-y. All I could really taste was tomatoes and nothing else. I will say that the service was very good. Our server answered all of our questions patiently and kindly. Another person checked on us five times to make sure everything was ok. I just wish the food was as good as the service. The price for the tacos is the best I've seen in town but I'm not tempted to come back any time soon. After eating Faustino's tacos, nothing else even comes close to theirs.

Nina's Tacos can be found most Mondays at the Pleasant Hill Community Farmers Market from 400-700…read morepm CT... Make sure you check their Facebook page for their weekly schedule. So Taqueria Marissa has really good birria tacos... I was told by MANY people I had to try Nina's Tacos. So you all weren't wrong! Some darn good birria and I love the variety! Going to a farmers market to find her tacos kind of bit me in the butt though. A bag of freeze dried candy, a pie, and Nina's pretty much killed a Franklin. The farmers market and Nina's were easy to find. A big red trailer in the lot with quite a few vendor canopies at 5229 E University Ave in Pleasant Hill.... It's easy to spot. I was pretty close to their first customer today. I left work in West Des Moines at 330 pm and took 235E to University out to Pleasant Hill. 1 birria crunch wrap - $15 3 birria lumpia - $10 3 quesa birria tacos - $10 Everything came with limes and make sure you indulge in their hot sauce! $35 before tip and she gave me a free Coke to enjoy while I waited. Service was wonderful. We visited a bit at the window. I shared it was my first time ordering from Nina's and I'd driven across the metro to find her. I had a short wait for my order and a few people started to stack up at the window as I waited. The birria tacos were my favorite. The other two items lacked nothing. Their birria and consume in any form is top notch! SO tender and I love the flavor! Now if I had to compare Nina's against Marissa and Flame.... Why? It's like comparing three precious gems... ‍ Would I drive across town again? Heck yeah! That's really all I should need to say. Lots of menu items I haven't tried yet and it's a fun little growing farmers market everyone should check out. Especially if the crowds on Saturday morning aren't your thing. https://www.facebook.com/PleasantHillIowaFarmersMarket?mibextid=LQQJ4d https://www.facebook.com/ninastaco?mibextid=LQQJ4d
