La Baja Cocina Mexicana - Des Moines

It was a 55 degree day at end of March so we rode our bikes. 5PM on a Saturday. Place is about 2/3 Full. It is not very big. Very festive decor. I was not in the mood for a beer so I had a most excellent pina colada. My wife had a chicken burrito. She liked it and said it was not heavy. I had a couple bites and would rate it a B. I had the Vampiro Taco which I would consider more of a Tostada. It was very good with a pico topping that had lots of flavors. I also had rice and beans. They were very very good. It seems strange to rave about rice and beans but they complimented the Taco perfectly. My wife also ordered a side of Guacamole and that was very fresh like they just made it. She said it was not overly salty which can be an issue for her. Great Service as well. We will be back!!!!!

Every time I go here, I say to myself... Why don't we come here more often?! The food is fantastic and the margaritas are cheap. Our servers are always friendly and happy to make recommendations or explain menu items. Our favorites are gorditas and fish tacos. We haven't ordered anything we don't enjoy, though!Food: 5/5

This place was super cute modernized! The food was really good! However, I probably won't go back because they didn't have any queso! And to me tacos and queso are like peanut butter jelly! And a Mexican place with no queso is like Chinese with no crab Rangoon! Anyway, super cute place!

Tonight was my first time at this restaurant and I decided to order takeout. Let me tell you, these were the best tacos I have ever had in the Des Moines area! I ordered 5 beef quesatacos and was immediately blown away by the flavor. I was so satisfied after just one bite that I went into a food coma! I will definitely be coming back again as a repeat customer. Unfortunately, I did not take any photos because I didn't want to stop eating to snap a picture. The server was also very friendly and provided great service.

Having resided on the South side for a few years, we frequently pass by this restaurant. Tonight, we made the decision to stop and it was a great one. The food was excellent and fresh, and the service was prompt and polite. We will definitely be returning in the future.
