The flavors are crazy good... cheesy, creamy, a little sweet, a little spicy, and super addicting. What really makes their pizza hit is the way they cook it over the wood fire. It gives the crust that perfect crisp with a little char, and the toppings taste so fresh. You can tell they actually care about their ingredients. We've tried the carne asada pizza and it was okay, but the corn pizza one I would def go back for that!! If you're in Des Moines and craving something different from your usual pizza spot, you HAVE to try Pizza Locas. Get the Elote Pizza you can thank me later! I wish I had photos, but will post an updated when we get more :)

I got the tripas burrito and it was so damn good. I wish there was more lettuce in it to balance out all the heaviness but it was still so good. I would get it again. The tripas was crispy but not hard, the grilled onion on the side was so good, loved the sauces as well. It is a HUGE burrito and honestly really heavy. My bf got the fries and chose birria as the meat. I'm not a huge biria fan, but my bf is. He says it's really good and the guac was really good. The fries were soggy but we also drove 15 minutes away to eat it. It is also very large and heavy. SIDE NOTE: take our review with a grain of salt because we're not huge mexican food eaters and don't know what is considered good. Judging in food alone, we really liked it. Prices were reasonable for us considering the size. The service was AMAZING and she made sure to have a conversation with us, and complimented our pup. Would definitely be back! The only thing we wished was there was more individual seating so more then one group could sit and if there was lights by the seating. BUT THERE IS ONE BENCH IN THE CORNER :)

A Tiny Creole-style restaurant with a small bar and a limited menu…read more I was curious about this place. It's in a tiny parking lot on a side street in Des Moines. It's a small storefront and a little challenging to find. During the pandemic, my wife and I stumbled across it, but it was closed. We did get to chat with the chef-owner. He explained he could not afford to keep the doors open full-time due to the lack of clientele during the difficult mask-up period. He indicated that he would start limited hours soon. So, fast forward to today. The restaurant IS open at certain times, and I advise you to double-check the hours as they seem to change. So, anxious to try authentic creole food, I dropped in one afternoon and sat at the small but nice-looking wooden bar. The bartender lady was friendly and got me a bottled beer (no draft here). I scanned the short menu and asked for a recommendation. She recommended the Jambalaya. I found the Jambalaya extremely disappointing. As you can see from my photo, I was served a gigantic mound of Jambalaya rice. It was sticky, tasty, spicy, and filling, but "Where's the beef?". I felt like I was on a treasure hunt, searching for the protein in this giant mound of rice. I found a single slice of sausage and a few chicken pieces throughout. This may be how some families in Louisiana stretch their grocery supplies, but this is NOT what a customer expects at a restaurant. If this was the recommendation, then I am terrified of what the gumbo or some of the other dishes are like. To make matters worse, the bathroom had no light! I turned the switch on and off a few times, and the light would flicker a little, but I could not see a thing. I had to take out my phone to see where to do my business! After I washed my hands, I discovered the paper towel dispenser empty. When I returned to the bar, I found the Chef-owner leaning on the bar, chatting with the bartender and the only other customer there. Of course, I let him know about the state of his bathroom. "The light flickers?" he said., "Um yeah," I responded. He shrugged like this was an acceptable state of affairs. No apology, no action or promise to correct the issues. Just a matter-of-fact demeanor. Like it was MY problem! I can maybe understand an employee acting this way, but the owner? Is he serious about running a restaurant? Perhaps this is a hobby or a tax shelter; who knows? I will never return. I am a Yelp Elite Squad reviewer, and it pains me to have to award anything less than four stars for a struggling neighborhood business, but if the owner doesn't care, why should I? And now the results: Starting from 5, I detract one-half star from edible but disappointing food. One star for an unkept bathroom with no light. One star for a poor attitude. Another half-star for odd hard-to-keep-track of hours. Then adding my overall experience, I'm going to award a generous two stars. I sincerely doubt, and, judging by the owner's attitude, that he even cares; however, I will say this to him. If you are serious about running a restaurant and competing with the likes of Wally's or Anthony's in Des Moines, then I would seriously give your attitude a check, as well as the attention you pay to your bathroom and the content of the meat in your food.

I stopped by to see that they had and was psyched about almost all the things on the menu! Pasta, Chicken Wings, Mac 'n Cheese bites, Fish Tacos, super great selection. The food came out hot and relatively fast for the stuff I picked. The Nook was open, so I had time to grab a quick beer while I was waiting. I made the difficult choice and settled on Fish Tacos, Mac 'n Cheese bites and the Potato Salad and Macaroni Salad. Portion size was good, definitely had leftovers for the next day. The food was great, the salads were fresh and didn't feel like they were scooped from store bought tubs. The fish tacos were really tasty and I really like the corn tortillas. I like that the Mac salad had black olives in it, better than the salad down at Marination! I'm not sure exactly what their schedule is for West Seattle as they're pretty new, but I checked on their website www.GilbertsGreats.com.
