Taco Restaurants near Waukee

“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!“

“Upscale bar food on an amazing bun. That is how I would describe Central Standard. When you walk in you walk into a clean sporty bar /restaurant atmosphere with good energy and volume. We were seated immediately and our server greeted us in a decent amount of time with a friendly "I love my job" kind of greeting. This was our second time coming because I wanted to make sure the first time wasn't a fluke before I wrote a glowing review. This time we ordered the Whiskey Bleu burger, The BBQ Briskit Burger and started with the Cheese Curds. The cheese cheese curds were hand breaded and deep fried. The star of the show was the Raspberry Jalepeno Jam. I could write a review on the flavors of the jam itself... lets just go with amazing. They could of been better with a better or sharper cheese, the cheese lacked flavor. They also could of drained the curds after pulling them from the fryer better as the bottom half were really greasy to the point that we didn't eat half of the basket. The Whiskey Blue Burger was a favorite. Although it was blue cheese dominate, it had a very layered flavor profile. The whiskey sauce on the side was good also, it only took a little sauce to bring the burger up another level and it really brought out the other flavors in the burger. The BBQ Briskit was the interesting one. My wife said, "it's one note, but comfort food on a bun." You have to know that the bacon here is THICK sliced and the products they use are not the cheapest on the shelf. The hamburger buns themselves made me want to come back, seriously. Knowing that, when you ate all the toppings separately they were great but when you ate them together it was ONE flavor, not even the bacon stood out. It was a great flavor but ONE. I had the idea of dipping it the Raspberry Jalepeno Jam and it came ALIVE. IT kept that same great flavor but it also brought all the layers and we fought over the burger from that point on. We will order that again with a side of jam. The only thing that I wish they would do better is their cheese selections across the board, they are so mild that they are tasteless.. Going twice stood up to my first experience, which lets be real, that doesn't always happen. We will definitely be going back on a regular basis. PS: They changed the channel to whatever game I wanted Taste 8 (cheese brought this down) Cost 9 Presentation 9 Atmosphere 10 Service 10 Total 46/50 = 4.6 =5 Star“

“I haven’t had amazing tacos since I was in Brooklyn 2 years ago. I have been on the hunt since my favorite place to go closed during the first surge of Covid. I try new taco places at least 2 times a week, and each has been a disappointment. I am super picky about my Al Pastor, especially. This place has me believing in good tacos again. 100 % recommend this place.“
