A friend recommended Tasty Tacos when they heard we’d be driving through Des Moines, and I’m really glad we stopped by. The place is super simple, no-frills, but the tacos are very solid and well done.
You can also buy their hot sauce to take home, which is a nice bonus. I’m not even a big taco person, and I still thought it was worth trying. Definitely a good stop if you’re passing through.

I’ve been to sooo many Mexican restaurants all over the USA and this is OKAY. It’s not the best. When they say authentic, think more American authentic as they don’t even use the Spanish words for their food. Beef is asada, Pork here (I had to ask) is carnita meat not pastor sadly. After being married to a Hispanic male for near 18 yrs and ate at a lot of authentic places/trucks…it’s okay like I said. Salsa was good, medium hot, the guacamole could use some lime/salt (asked for lime wedges…not here), yet the tater tots were decent & they have one menu item I’ve never tried or seen before…flour puff chips. Oh my goodness, THOSE are amazing! Would highly recommend that for sure! Yet the other food…if it’s your thing I guess, I would only go back for the flour puff chips.

It’s tacos. Which can almost never go wrong but can sometimes. I had the wakey wakey eggs n bakey which was really good my second taco was a filet mignon taco was delicious and I could not put it down. My wife had the al pastor and the old school tacos which she enjoys greatly. Overall we will definitely eat here again.

It’s all in the name. Tasty Tacos, reasonable prices quick order at the counter service. Always friendly. I got a cheese quesadilla too it was something like you would make at home but wouldn’t be as good. The tacos are the star of the show! A must stop when I’m rolling through town around lunch.

Food is alright makes my stomach queasy, but service is super quick and the prices are low.

Hard-shell tacos with that slightly sweet, crunchy shell that’s weirdly addictive. I went classic with beef and cheese and ended up ordering more than planned. Super casual counter setup, fast service, and locals rolling through nonstop. Simple food, big comfort factor.

Chicken flour taco and onion rings fresher made and fast service.
I’ve been a customer since they had their small location downtown Des Moines IA in the 1980s.

Decided to swing by Tasty Tacos with an out of towner. I figured having her review the food would remove the bias of me having loved Tasty Tacos my entire life. On a scale of one to tasty, she reviewed the original flour taco as “tasty” I agree with her.
Also, mirror in the bathroom was clean and a great place to take a quick selfie for the gram.

The name says it all. The ingredients have always been fresh and the flavor is amazing. It’s nice to see a local business grow and compete with the national chains. Next to Tasty Tacos, both national chains are blah and not worth the trouble. I usually get the tacos but I’ve enjoyed all the dishes I’ve tried. The poppers are good if you like fried peppers. You really can’t go wrong with any item on the menu.
