Mid. Just mid. Noting great. It’s okay.
I guess worth trying so you know if you want to return or not.
It’s unlikely I will unless I’m feeling desperate. Or next time I’ll try a burrito to be able to review that.
Their salsa is good. 3 out of 4 are good. Rojo, verde, habanero are all good. The avocado salsa could be better!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m still looking for a spot in Iowa to satisfy. I have yet to be happy about any place I’ve reviewed so far.
I love the color of the tortillas good flavor but could be fried a little more crispier, they were too SOFT in mine and my husband’s opinion.
Horchata was okay. I will not be buying it again. It didn’t taste authentic to me. I prefer the rice grain texture and this didn’t have it. Not what I am looking for. I also prefer fresh cinnamon stick, this one tasted like cinnamon seasoning. Gross they’re not authentic enough for my liking. Trying to cater to Iowan native makes them lose stars. You guys think this is good but go to California and try REAL AUTHENTIC MEXICAN FOOD
The carne asada was good and tender but I prefer smaller pieces not chunks. It was also a bit thin for California style preference, we eat thicker cuts of carne asada. My husband said good flavor though. I agree. Could use a little more salt or flavor personally whatever they use.
I ordered with grilled onion, didn’t know they wouldn’t put fresh but okay. In California you have the option of both. I guess that’s not the case for Iowa.
Also, I did not like that they put the salsa on the side. I prefer they put the salsa on my tacos for me. California style
Anywho, enjoy my review have a lovely experience for yourself. It’s mid in my opinion.
Hubby says tortillas are too soggy with grease!!!
This is for Eduardo, he said “if you’re going to cook your tortillas in grease, make sure they’re crispy not soggy ” Gracias amigo. I like turtles

Have been wanting to try here and finally got to go tonight! We walked in and had to wait a while for someone to come to the counter for us to order. We ended up ordering the quesabirria and the carnita burrito. Both were good! The Quesabirria had a lot of meat but was sad that they weren’t a little crispier. We will come back here!

If you want quick easy and delicious food this is the place to go! The waukee location staff has always been on their A game! To many time including tonight I’m craving tacos at 8:45pm. They never fail to amaze me! Noah and Cratius (unsure of spelling) were very welcoming and entertaining when we walked through the doors at 8:50pm. By 9 we had our food and drinks and were out the door.

Food is good. Desk service for ordering could be a bit better. They seem very distracted when people are at the counter like you are bothering them. Everything else is great though. Food is recommended. The street corn is the best around!

Ordered the al pastor tacos,street taco, quesabirria taco, chips & queso. Overall, the tacos were pretty good. Lots of meat and flavorful. Queso was good, but the chips were stale. It’s not a huge deal, so hopefully, next time, that’s not an issue.
Update, Came back for lunch and tried the Torta Cubana. This thing is massive, so you better be hungry. There are lots of different flavors going on. Which makes it very tasty.

These tacos are AMAZING!!
If TNT stood for another thing it would be Tasty N Terrific.
I’m all about the street tacos here and they are consistently delicious. Made to order, hot and fresh.
Nice size menu, easy to decide.
Nice choices of drinks. Including aqua frescas!
Service is consistently excellent. Friendly, helpful, patient and accommodating. Shop is always clean and upkept in a timely manner.
Can get busy during the lunch hour! But there’s always a spot for dine in. I love the taco truck vibe without having to be outdoors looking for a spot to sit. This is a nice sit down for a quick bite to eat.
Price for 3 tacos $9.97
Aqua Fresca $3.99
Soda and bottled drinks $2-3
Churro $3.xx
Can easily spend $40 with gratuity for lunch.
I recommend TNT for your street taco cravings if you’re in the west side of Des Moines!

Pros:
Caso and chips is great with a nice kick of spice.
Abodo or salsa was great with a hint of smoke and a great flavor of chipotle peppers
El pastor was not the best I ever had, but it was real damn good.
Staff was energetic and very polite. I tipped more than normal due to the guy at the front.
Bread for the sandwiches was light and very soft bread. It was great and tasted like it was made in house.
Cons:
bread could have been toasted to help from falling apart
El pastor normally comes with pineapple and cilantro. Personally, I would have liked my el pastor sandwich with some grilled pineapple and cilantro. The pork was good, but the spicy adobo sauce they gave me would have gone great with the sweetness of grilled pineapple.
Would I eat there again?
Yes. I never had a “Mexican” sandwich. It was good but if I go again going to try the tacos. I did not take a real through look, but if they are Mexican there has to be a chorizo option.
Over all the meal I got was good and good portions since I could not finish all my meal. Chips and salsa make a awesome snack so win win. Out of ten sporks… I give 7/10

Won’t ever eat at this location again. Placed an online order for pickup, went to pick up said order. Was told they don’t see it in their system. I showed three forms (email confirmation, screenshot from website confirmation, and transaction from my bank confirming purchase amount) of proof I purchased the food and paid for it on today’s date with time stamps. Owner said we would need to purchase the food again or it wasn’t going to be made. Took 0 accountability that it could be a system error even after seeing their systems physically flashing off and on again like a power surge just went through the place while others were trying to place orders at location. After an hour of going back and forth with the workers, the system randomly popped up our order which was finally made. Got home and they just threw all the food in the bag angrily resulting in our cheese sauce being spilled over everything.
Didn’t even offer anything for the huge inconvenience or even apologize for the issues. Somehow we eneded the bad guys for ordering food from their restaurant.

I ordered 2 vegan al pastor tacos, 1 vegan steak taco and a vegan burrito. I didn’t check my food until I got back to my hotel which was 30 minutes away. When I checked it I relized that the vegan burrito had real steak in it. I called and was told the boss will give me a call back in a couple of days after giving my information 5 times to Thomas instead of issuing me a refund. This is the worst service ever. I won’t be back. Vegan Not Vegan I would NOT recommend if you’re vegan.

First time stopping in. Eddie, Carla, and Elliott were very helpful explaining the menu and making sure we had a good experience. Restaurant was clean and neatly decorated. Never had tried a torta but was pleasantly surprised. Basically a Mexican sandwich for about $12 plus or minus a dollar or two depending on which you choose. Will be back and hope this family-owned restaurant has much success here in Waukee!
