Our Guestbook
“ I've tried ground beef, chicken and pork tacos in the past, however today I ordered the diced steak in my taco and burritos. The diced steak is a true winner. The diced steak was tender and had great flavor. Taco sauce is not necessary, but it does increase the taco flavor profile. I will be back. Service is friendly and food comes out quickly. ”
“ Visited on a strong recommendation, and our neighbor was right! Walked into a packed restaurant on a weekend, and the staff managed it well. Plenty of parking. Tasty, cheap-eats food with lots of Des Moines-area history. Corn & flour tacos, other Mexican food options. Enjoyed a pair of original tacos with ground beef. No frills. Fantastic service, clean. ”
“ Today Pam needed to pick up some things at SAMS in Ankeny and treated me to a birthday lunch at Tasty Taco, one of my most favorite places. I ordered the flour taco with pork, the pork is insanely tender and flavorful, every time. I totally love jalapeno's, and their jalapeno poppers take the word awesome to a whole new level. Pam had the cheese enchilada, (a really good pick, her favorite), not pictured and the order of flour tortilla chips with guacamole (last photo). Pam shared a few of those and they are epic. Every time we've eaten at the Tasty Taco in Ankeny the food has always consistently been superb (tasty). If you pull into the parking lot and find only one or two spaces, that's ok, no worries, the system of ordering and the quickness of receiving your order is unbelievably smooth. This was a real treat today!! In fact it's nearly impossible to not stop there when we are in Ankeny. ”
“ The food here is excellent and the servings are very large, yeah they are much more reasonable Taco Bell. There’s flour taco has a very unique texture and taste. Like chipotles everything is handmade and fresh. The sauce is so unique the people coming to buy just the sauce I had never heard of tasty taco before and now I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a restaurant that is better than Taco Bell, Chipotles, and Moe’s. I also have the flour tostada and it was great as well. I would recommend this to family and friends who are looking for something when they can’t find the other restaurants that are used to. ”
“ Tasty Taco has been a beloved staple in the Des Moines area for as long as I can remember, and with good reason. With three locations across the city, it’s one of those rare spots where consistency, flavor, and service all hit the mark every single time. I’ve been going there for years, and no matter which location I visit, I’m always greeted with a warm welcome and that familiar, comforting smell of seasoned meat and fresh tortillas. Their flour tacos are, without question, my favorite. I’d put them up against any taco in the world—bold seasoning, just the right amount of cheese, and that signature soft, warm shell that holds everything together perfectly. It’s simple, but that’s what makes it special. They’ve got the formula dialed in, and they don’t need to complicate it. What really stands out, though, is the service. The people who work at Tasty Taco seem to genuinely care, and that goes a long way. Whether it’s a quick lunch or a craving I can’t ignore, Tasty Taco always delivers. It’s more than just a local taco joint—it’s a part of Des Moines' identity, and a place I’ll keep going back to again and again. ”
“ I enjoy Tasty Tacos mainly for the deliciousness of their deep-fried tacos. Tasty Tacos is, in my opinion, a step above other Tex-Mex fast food options. The prices are reasonable for what you get for your money, and the customer service was friendly and professional. The store was clean, and I'd recommend this store. ”
“ I love this place it has everything Mexican you can think of and it's all fresh and warm it's very good except for I don't like beans refried baked beans and my mom accidentally got me the bean beef and beans enchilada and I think it was good but not quite for me even if they're busy they keep a good flow going so you don't have to wait around too long it's recommended place to go eat ”
“ So fresh the bread was still warm. Omg. Someplace I stop by every time I travel thru Des Moines area. ”
