We loved our first visit to Tasty Tacos, a recommendation by a neighbor. No frills. Just a…read moreterrific cheap eat-stop on Ankeny's Delaware Road, minutes off Highway 35. Admittedly, I was concerned when I entered the restaurant, as there were two lines perhaps 10 deep each, but we were assured by a customer "not to worry," and he was spot on! Lots of options, but I elected to get their two originals, a flour, and a corn taco, and they rocked. Great pace to ordering, kind at the counter, excellent pricing. I never felt rushed or "just another customer." The flour taco was fluffy and tasty like I've had in Mexico, and the corn taco was also delicious. Enjoyed the taco sauce at the table, and the place was clean with good energy about it. I guarantee that I'm coming back and see why they're so popular with Des Moines/Ankeny locals.!

Restaurant was small, interior could've used a quick sweep. Restaurant was relatively quiet besides chatter from the workers whom seem to be friendly with one another which is a huge plus from a guest perspective. Walked out with a tab of $24 including time and entree with an iced coke which could use more ice in my humble opinion. Will definitely be back to try other options on their menu.

I asked the guy to gesture how big the burrito would be, he gestured with his hands the size--which looked to be huge--roughly double the size of the burrito I received. I'm a thin guy and after eating the burrito I left hungry I ordered take out, the ambiance was nice but I wouldn't consider eating in, I've done it before. Save your money, for $13 you can get a much larger and delicious Burrito Burrito from Tacos Don Juan--which I'd rate 8.8/10

Not your average fast food! Especially if you want a huge breakfast burrito!…read more Highly recommend taco Tuesday! 5 beef or chicken tacos for less than $7...what!? Also the quality and quantity of fillings is crazy! So good!! Their salsas are delicious and if you go in you can raid the fresh condiments bar full of fresh and delicious extras, like jalapeño's, pickled carrots, salsas and more! The folks working here are always super friendly and fun to chat with! The building all seem to be old long John silvers. The place is slightly dated but they keep them clean and well maintained. For sure check out the specials!

We were seated right away and ordered a pitcher of Skinny Margaritas. They were VERY tasty, well-prepared, and a good accompniament to our chips and salsa. They bring out both mild and spicier salsa, and of course there are options for guac and cheese sauce. For dinner we got a variety of dishes. Two of the group shared a bowl and it was enough for them with leftovers. I got the Loco Burrito, and it was easily 2 meals for me. Others got tacos and shrimp, and everyone enjoyed their dishes. Service was excellent, and the staff worked together to keep things moving right along! I believe this is an old Golden Corral Building, so there is a lot of seating, and a bar right when you walk in the door. Great food and drink!!

It in a strip mall area and we had driven by multiple times and finally getting in a stop. Our waitress was a sweetheart. I threw my typical questions at her and she was on top of it. Chips were warm and the salsa was perfect. She brought us our drink orders quickly. The blue margarita was a good suggestion. We enjoyed the chips and the drinks. We were taken aback when our meals arrived. Hubby ordered the CA burrito and it was bigger than this forearm! I ordered the steak chimichanga and it also was way more than I imagined it would be. We both enjoyed our meals. We both were so full that I feel like we were going to have to be rolled out of there. The menus are huge. There is no excuse not to find anything. The restaurant is decent sized, with music playing like you come to expect in a Mexican restaurant. I think it was the manager who came out and checked on us to make sure we were doing alright. We decided that we would be back sooner than later. The price was right and it ended up being another meal for both of us.
