Not necessarily the restaurants fault, but one of those winter only extra doors would have helped greatly. I had two tacos, the Gringo and the Chorizo, with rice and beans. The Gringo had great flavor as did the Chorizo, which was spicy, but neither were served "hot" they were warm at best. My friend had one pork and one chicken tamale, also with rice and beans. The flavor for each tamale was amazing, but again the food was not hot. That's a problem. Cute interior, nice small bar set off to the side which I didn't notice until I went to the bathroom.

We found that and more at Taqueria El Tapatio. They have a very large space that is brightly lit and very colorfully decorated. They have booths and stand alone tables, each of which feature carvings of natural scenes and animals. There were several families and couples already enjoying meals when we sat down. We were greeted with complementary chips and salsa. The chips were so fresh they were still warm. The salsas were all delicious. I was very partial to the chile de árbol. We chose to have tacos de al pastor, a taco de pechuga y queso fundido, and the Nachos Supremos. We took our time and zero pictures. The food was delicious, fresh, and generously portioned. On the way out we ordered a strawberry liquado and it was what dreams are made of. Highly recommend gifting yourself a chill night at this joint or grabbing some food for the road. We'll be back!

This place made me feel like I was right inside my moms kitchen. Let me start by saying the salsa…read morewith chips here is so delicious. I usually am not much of a salsa with chips gal when it comes to restaurants like this. The chips were crispy, the salsa was perfection and just so savory and spicy! The green salsa was like a combo of roasted green peppers with avocado it was my favorite and the red salsa was the traditional tomatoes/pepper salsa. I wish we had them here in Des Moines. The service was amazing too. Just like at home they greeted us right away and told us to sit where we would like. The place also smelled so clean. I ordered to drink the carrot/orange juice. Made me feel like I was in the markets in Mexico picking up a fresh juice! To eat i ordered a steak, a tripa taco and a ceviche shrimp tostada. Needless to say this made me feel completely satisfied by the end. The shrimp ceviche tostada was a a generous amount and it was mouth watering good. The asada taco was delicious. The tripa taco was made how I like it crispy and just so good. The lady asked if we wanted the tripe soft or crispy which was so nice that they ask because everyone has different preferences on how they like their tripa. My mom ordered a order of the tripa tacos and she had them soft. My mom was so impressed by this place and that says a lot from a women who is a amazing cook herself. Anyway this is HIGHLY recommended if you love AUTHENTIC Mexican food. I will DEFINITELY be back here. I'm already planning my next trip!
