Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

Just like the other reviewer said...good authentic mexican food. Some mexican friends recommended this and so it must be the real deal! It's a smallish strip mall space on the southside of DSM but they were friendly. Try the pork tortas!!! Hard to find this entree in DSM...I would eat here again if I am ever on this side of town again.

Good authentic Mexican food. Their chips and salsa are great, mild salsa has good flavor (to some days better than others) and hot salsas are great as well. Been getting their burritos, tostatas, chilli rennos, etc for years. Always good. Their chorizo is good with lots of spice and flavor. Try their steak burrito. Favorite Mexican place in Des Moines. Wish they did tamales and pupusas (I know, pupusas are not mexican).

This place is a quiet hole in the wall with amazing food at great prices. Drinks are free with your meals. You always leave satisfied. Atmosphere is homely but comfortable.. Dont expect El Rodeo. They have three servers. Two are fast and friendly. If you get the young woman save your tip as she tends to forget you and concentrate on the tv. I recommend the chile rellenos or the burrito. You wont be disappointed.

In honor of our son, Julian's fifth birthday today, we are going to his favorite restaurant - Rancho Elegra! Our son's first "grown up" food was chips and salsa from here and it is his favorite place to eat. We will have fajitas, chicken burritos and his favorite chips and salsa (and mac and cheese for kids here). This has long been our family's favorite authentic Mexican restaurants in Des Moines - and believe me there are many around town. It is as one person said, a "quiet hole in the wall." I ate here about once a week when I was pregnant with my son, who is now 5 years old today and had been going there long before that and have continued to go frequently since even though we now live in West Des Moines and its quite a drive. Many "foodies" around town that I know also really rate the food here great. There is no frills or any particular special atmosphere, but it you want great food and great prices this is the place to go with your family and friends. We always bring home a large container of the red salsa which has an excellent flavor - especially if you like fresh cilantro. We recommend taking some home - its only $3 to $5 depending on the size and is great for serving with breakfast egg burritos!

Great authentic Mexican food! When you see the place it looks like a whole in the wall restaurant, but it is quite good. Atmosphere is homely and quite. They only have a couple servers, but they are fast and friendly!! Their chips and salsa and their homemade sauces are really tasty. Can't go wrong with the Shrimp Fajita Dinner!! They also have carry-out services as well. No margaritas :(

First time to eat here and surprised to discover they have been around for 17 years. Our food was very good, service was great! A very family friendly restaurant. Can't wait to try it for lunch next time.
