Tasty Tacos - West Des Moines

Two priorities when visiting Des Moines area, in order: 1. Eat at Tasty Tacos 2. See my in-laws

A very solid, very authentic place to get some Mexican food. Not quite drive-thru fast, but not as long as a sit down Mexican resteraunt. Management keeps the place very clean, I have been in a dozen identical places that were not nearly as clean as Tasty Tacos, so definite credit for that. The food is slightly above average Mexican fare. This isn't a Taco Bell, but everyone knows what taco bell is. If you want fluffy, flour shells, this is the place to go!

Grew up on this place as a treat. Their soft shell tacos are why you should eat here! They start the meat then finish it inside the taco shells. They now sell their seasoning hot sauce in the Hy-Vee grocery stores.

Was in town and decided to give this place a try. Ordered to go. Everyone talks about the original flour taco with beef. This was tasty, puffed shell, well seasoned meat. Adding the spicy salsa makes this an enjoyable taco. The chicken version is decent, just not as well spiced as the beef. For desserts, had the bunuelo which is a puffed flour taco shell sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar served with a small container of honey. The krispos are similar but sliced into triangles. Service was quick. Easy access. Helpful staff.

This a great place with actual tasty tacos. The shells are homemade and make the tacos. I tried both the regular and steak flour tacos.
