Los Laureles - Des Moines

For a Mexican restaurant it was above average I would say. I was quite surprised in my meal. I got the Seasoned chicken salad and it wasn't exactly what I was expecting but it was still good. Seasoned chicken over Spanish rice, topped with mozzarella cheese. I thought the whole thing would be on lettuce, but the lettuce was on the side, topped with sour cream and guacamole. It was. A decent sized portion and I didn't finish it all. I wish the chips were warm though. The salsa was okay and the Churros didn't have much sugar or cinnamon on them. Overall, it was okay!

Open later than most on weekends which is so convenient! Food is always great. I judge by the Chile relleno.. lol.. if I hate it I won't eat anything else from a restaurant. I've eaten here for years and always better than any other last night spot

What a find! Growing up in California we miss having good authentic Mexican food. We were so happy to find Los Laureles.

I visited this restaurant for the first time recently. The service was good, but the tamales I ordered were very dry and the meat was tough. I would not order them again.

We recently had a wonderful experience celebrating a family birthday at this restaurant. We particularly enjoyed dining outside when the weather permitted. The food was delicious and the service was excellent.
