My first visit I was not overly impressed, but then I had the red curry chicken Burrito. Oh, man, he was good! My wife had the chicken bacon lunchos. She also seemed to enjoy this.

Words can't express how fantastic this place is! The food is incredible and the atmosphere is so comfortable – we had a wonderful time. The vegan tacos were absolutely delicious. I tried the seitan asada and the Korean tofu, while my daughter enjoyed the tater tots version, and my grandson went for the gringo (steak and cheese). My daughter also ordered the whiz masa fries, and I had the vegan poutine. Everything was scrumptious, and we have so much left over that we're taking some home. This will definitely be a new favorite spot in Des Moines!

This is the largest taco shop in the world and one of the top spots for authentic vegan cuisine in central Iowa. The staff is fantastic, the food is creative, and they make their own corn tortillas. Located in a spacious neighborhood, it’s definitely a local favorite!

We love coming here. I normally get the bulgogi masa fries (SO GOOD) but last time I did the bulgogi nachos. They were also tasty. My spouse went with the wasabi brisket burrito, which he proclaimed a delicious success.

Holy mole, seems like everyone here is happy to talk to someone, and I have never seen anything like their Red Curry Chicken (or Tofu) Burrito, which is enough reason for me to visit and pamper me for lunch. When you wrap it style its a bit easier to eat in a 30min lunch; as in place it made in the hand sauce that they usually do, they put it in, so you can pick it up and smash it.
