Restaurantji's Waukee recommendations for the finest Mexican cuisine.
“The food was great here the one time I have been so far. Whoever is in charge of the website needs to update it though. Because it clearly lists under “services” that they take reservations and encourage you to call and make them. Just called to try to make a reservation for dinner tonight and was told by the employee on the phone that they don’t take reservations…“
“Very good and very quick. Need to wrap the hard shells tacos in paper instead of using the aluminum containers though. It would be cheaper for the company as well and keep the taco shells from getting soggy in 5 mins. Not sure why they don’t do that.“
“It had been a while since we've been to this restaurant and decided to take the family. The tacos asadas were so delicious... fresh Pico de Gallo and the steak was tender. We ate too much and still got sopapilla and fried ice cream for the kids to try for their first time! Will be back!“
“We are never out it Waukee but we definitely have a reason now to come out more often! If you love a good street taco, this is the place for you. We are a family of 5 and my kids all were saying this was the “best restaurant ever”!Food:I got 4 street tacosCarne Asada - by far my favorite. So juicy and tender.Chorizo - this was awesome and had a little kick to itBirra - wow! I absolutely loved the flavor and the added cheeseCarnitas - this was good but with the other being better, I wouldn’t get this one againMy kids got the kids meal with taco and rice. There wasn’t much left when they were done.My husband got the carne asada taco bowl and devoured the whole thing. That you can choose what toppings you want with it instead of it being a one item fits all.We also decided to get the three dips appetizer (salsa, guacamole and queso). The queso was incredibly good! The guacamole was very fresh but had a little too much lime flavor. I still ate all of it. The salsa was also fresh and served well as a topping rather than a stand alone with chips. I loved that the chips were fresh, crunchy and not too salty.The other side we got was the street corn and this was probably my favorite thing I ate. Creamy, cheesy, a little kick. Absolutely yes.I would highly recommend getting some aqua fresca with your meal as well. Wow! I got the pineapple and would go back just for that.We ended the meal with some churros. They are filled with what I believe to be dulche de leche and I wish I could eat these every day.So glad we decided to stop here for lunch! We ended up spending over $90 (much more than typical for us with a lunch meal) but the food was worth it.Parking: Lots of available spots and easy enough to get to.Kid-friendliness: They don’t have a lot of options but my kids loved the tacos and already want to go back!“
