This is such a new location that opened up not too long ago, that I had to add them myself to Google maps. This location is bigger than what it seems from the outside. The waitress must still be getting her groove because she came with tortilla chips and salsa with 2 napkins and cutlery that I had to reach across the table for. I came in alone and it seems that the tables with more patrons are tended to more as apposed to my lonesome. I ordered the Burrito California and waited for the waitress to come by so that I may order a side of rice and beans with some guacamole because of coarse I did not pay attention that this particular borrito had the rice and beans INSIDE ( My bad!).
I did wait a while but I had to flag someone down eventually. The sides came out within minutes.
$12 covers the submarine they give…. in other words the size is nice and is o ne expected when the rice and beans is inside so I really couldnt gauge how much meat came in the burrito.
I will say the green salsa is very good to me, has a sweetness to it. The white cheese tastes like the average white cheese dip you get from the chips section and the red sauce was also sweet. All sauces were very mild. The carnitas in the burrito were exceptional indeed though. Very good!
There virgin Piña Colada was very good and short lived and the whole meal came to $22.13 and much as though I didnt feel it was deserved… I did leave an $8 tip because I’m not a jerk. I might go back for carnita burritos to se the size (I am originally from Chicago illinois where the burritos are 5 bucks and huge but the price jere had them at $10 so I am looking to not be disappointed. A location where Mexican ingredients are hard to come by, have an excuse for such prices with small portions but in IOWA, I seem to not have too many problems getting Hispanic ingredients so I’m hopeful).
The photos of the burrito and piña colada, are mine.
Update:
As promised…. I have order other typical mexican dishes to see how they stand with true mexican food… burritos and Enchiladas Verdes… the burritos are the size of tacos… I was very disappointed. Nothing like true burritos from a true mexican restaurant. I then ordered the Enchiladas (pictured on my desk). Enchiladas are supposed to be drowned in salsa and cheese…. these were soooo dry that it shows in the pictures. Again, if you have never had TRUE Mexican food, I do recommend this restaurant. The very last dish I will be ordering to solidify my rating, will be a torta de milanesa. I will also add I have had to order sides of beans … normally beans and rice come as the meal but here I have had to order the beans seperate on the enchiladas meal. I have pictures that have all the extras order. I do believe chips and chips salsa comes included.
Last update: I come from a family who each family member owned a restaurant in Mexico… so I know my authentic. They do not sell tortas and that’s the last thing to decide on the rating. I hope they do well, which they will in a non predominant mexican location, but when it comes to their taste and authentic Mexican food this is not the place for me. I would settle coming g here in a pinch though because their food is fast and easy as in any pick up place and saves time on cooking. As Imentioned, I am not against this place, I’m the one who added them to Google and I am the one that added all of the photos this far, including my pina colada and burrito California as well as the pic in the dark.

I can’t remember the name of my meal but it had steak, chicken and shrimp cooked in a pineapple with cheese sauce! It came with tortillas, rice, beans, lettuce and tomato on the side! It was really good, a little too sweet for me but I think it was due to the pineapple. I had a Jalapeño margarita it was amazing! Will definitely be back to try more things!!

This place always pleases. Try the “Toriado” if you like bacon, you’ll love it!

We stopped on a Saturday about 5:30. We were greeted quickly and given our choice of table or booth. Chips, salsa and menus came immediately. The salsa was fresh with just the right amount of heat. We ordered various house margaritas which were superb. Be careful as these contain serious amounts of tequila. I had 3 tacos, basic with no frills. I got the best soft shell tacos I have had in years. The waitress returned frequently and was always helpful. The prices are reasonable. The place isn’t flashy but we came for the food and we were very impressed. This is our new go-to mexican place.

A friend recommended this place to me and I can see why. The staff was friendly & attentive, the food was delicious, and there was a large variety of menu options! I will definitely be back in the future!

Granger location has definitely gone downhill. I used to go all the time and order the same thing. They never greet you nicely and treat you more like a burden when you get it to go. The food has also changed horribly!! They hardly put any toppings on the food I always order and changed the chicken to have no flavor. I decided to try it again after 6 months of not going. It was even worse this time around. Sad as we don’t have many options in town.

Mojitos-Granger! Unassuming ambiance. Phenomenal food overall. My “go-to” items are usually Chicken tortilla soup or taco salad. The taco salad is, I think the best I have ever tasted anywhere, in my life! The chicken tortilla soup is so heaping with fresh tasty ingredients. The soup is hearty and filling and I usually cannot eat it all in one sitting! So good! Highly recommend! The staff are on their A-game on sanitation and workers wear masks. Try it out! Don’t let the hold over ambiance deter you from giving this location a try. Staff are fantastic!

This is definitely a hidden gem in the northern Des Moines area! Very homey and a small town vibe but not too far from Grimes. All their food is amazing and drinks are very tasty. The restaurant is extremely clean. 100% recommend to everyone!
