My friend and I meet every few weeks here for lunch. Service is always friendly and quick, the restaurant is always clean and the decor fun and the food…the food is simply amazing. I always get the lunch Chimichanga special with seafood. The tortilla is FILLED with seafood, fried perfectly and topped with queso. The beans and rice are always tasty, along with fresh sour cream, lettuce and tomatoes. The price for my meal with a generous tip is under $15. No wonder we go here every time!!

Came for take out! Got there 10 minutes after I ordered and I live in Johnston so by the time I got home…… 4 minutes later my bag of chips were stale and saturated with grease. My food was ice cold. And I paid $12 for the smallest container of queso i have ever seen. I usually love this place but for $30 it was disgustingly disappointing! Will not ever go back.

Showed up during a big rain storm.
Lobby was packed and was not in the mood to wait.
Hostess said only 20 minutes.
Okay, sure.
Waiting and watching all the food and Rita’s going by
Torture.
14 minutes later, table ready !!
I had the steak chimi and wife a combo plate.
Chips and salsa were delivered fast and Ritas were too.
Overall great service from Alexa L. and fun atmosphere.
Food good but nothing exciting. Bland actually.
Overall a good time and will give it another try, maybe not in a storm and crowded.

This place is fantastic. The menu is extensive, the service is always fast, accommodating, and they treat you with dignity. I ordered the beef enchiladas with rice and beans- they kept bringing fresh chips and salsa without having to be asked. They are attentive, and food is GREAT!!!! You’re never rushed, and it’s an all-around really nice dining experience.

We ordered a salad (it was good although there was more sour cream than lettuce – still a 4.5 star salad) and I asked for rolled tacos with guacamole for a child… this is what they brought (see pic). Child wouldn’t touch them so we took them home uneaten. Reheated and someone else went to have them for lunch the next day because we don’t waste food – and the “rolled taco” was empty service wasn’t great, waiter never came back until he was dropping off our check and our cups had been empty since we got our food 🙁
I’ve heard great things, so maybe it was an off day for the waiter… and if they don’t make rolled tacos, just say so? ♀️ we could have ordered something else, it’s just want the child recently decided he liked.

This isn’t your typical Mexican restaurant. The food here is so flavorful and delicious. They have the best cheese queso around and their hot sauce is the best I have ever had. The portions are huge and the price is reasonable. This has quickly become one of our favorite restaurants in the Des Moines area!

The Chipotle Tacos were great! The chicken was juicy. The sauce was full of flavor with a little kick. This is my son’s new go to menu item. We always have a great experience at El Mariachi.

Very good service from start to finish .
Food was good not “oh my god” but leaning more towards “we will be back eventually “
It was packed and our food was ready quickly.
The parking was a little goofy but nothing major.

This was my first time visiting and their service was exceptional, the food was great and as busy as the restaurant was on a Friday night the food came out very fast and hot! The margaritas are a must! Will definitely be back.
