“I have been here 4 times now and absolutely love it. The dishes have such wonderful, clean flavors, and I love the variety and creativity. I am gluten sensitive and the fact the entire restaurant is gluten free makes it that much more wonderful because I know I can order anything on the menu and have no problems. Tonight we just stopped in for dessert while downtown and I got the churros with three different sauces. I thoroughly enjoyed every bite and my boyfriend who generally doesn’t eat sweets also had a few churros and said they were excellent. We will definitely be back soon to check out more of the Spring 2024 menu!Dietary restrictions: This restaurant is completely gluten free with excellent food.“

“I've been to Mexico many times, and always struggled to find good tacos in America. This place has the best tacos I've ever had in USA and rivals many from Mexico.I liked the 3 sauces they bring to every table, and they have fresh free chips (homemade) and salsa.Service was prompt and friendly. The house salsa (for chips) was not the best (i would recommend them a bit more salt and lime), but those sauces for the tacos were awesome.We can't wait to go back!“

The spicy salsa wasn't the same brown stuff as most places, it was homemade salsa roja and he wasn't joking about it being spicy. ¡Me quedé bien picado! Chicken fajitas were pretty good, carnitas were just okay.Service was fantastic, including being checked on frequently but not too frequently after the food was delivered.“

I’ve lived in Texas and Colorado and these are right up with the best authentic tacos I’ve ever had. The little red truck in the parking lot puts out a really nice product at a fair price. Highly recommend if you ever get on the north side of Des Moines just off of I 80!“

We like to dine in familiar places, but after this, I really wanted to try Los Flores for Date Night.Seating was quick. Service is good! I evaluate Mexican restaurants by their tamales, because my Grandmama used to make them from scratch when I was a much younger child. They are damn good here! My Honey likes to have warm queso dip with her tortilla chips, she was well pleased. The salsa is good as well!Moses' crew did good taking care of us. We will be back for more good food!“

“Stopped here for a quick bite to eat before our busy day. Arrived about 11:20am and the owner had the grills up and running. She was unloading things but took our order and got to cooking once done unloading. It took about 10 minutes for 2 burritos. I ordered the pastor burrito and my fiancé ordered the chicken burrito to go. We had them loaded, beans, meat, sour cream, Pico de Gallo, and guacamole. There is no other way to get your burrito! Once home we devoured our lunch. They came with the most amazing grilled onions and jalapeños. The burrito was stuffed full of food and flavor! Make this place a priority when you're around the south side!“

“The 3 Tacos were more like gorditas to me, shell was fairly thick and soft, but those were pretty good. The bean burrito was a bit smaller than expected, served in a container with a good bit of cheese on top, got those 4 things for 12 dollars, which felt like a deal for the amount of meat in them. There was a lot of people waiting on food in the dining area. This place needs a drive thru.“
