What Tamela K likes about El Molcajete:
Out favorite Mexican restaurant now. Very flavorful. We are just a little salty that everyone else in town has discovered them as well. Now we have to time it right to get in for dinner. Cons: a little on the warm side in the restaurant in the summer. Also, it can get pretty loud in there when it's busy. Sometimes, when busy, we have waited a long time for our order.

read moreEl Molcajete in Ankeny is a favorite Mexican restaurant, offering flavorful meals at a reasonable price. The restaurant can get busy and loud during peak hours, but overall, the food quality and service are highly rated. Customers love the variety of dishes, such as chimichangas and fresh guacamole. While some experienced slow service, the food received high praise with options for vegetarians as well. The restaurant has a good atmosphere and is family-friendly, making it a top choice for Mexican cuisine in the Des Moines area. Make sure to try the unique dishes and fresh guacamole made at your table.

read moreWOW! I'm visiting from Southern Utah and my friends who live in Ankeny suggest we try the New Mexican restaurant in town.
New to Ankeny and only open a few weeks I thought my food was good and had no complaints.
Stopped in for a quick drink and our second round of this incredibly fresh Guacamole.
