    The salsa is just right, the mocajete was incredible and plenty to fill up on. 4 people, 45 dollars and everyone satisfied.

    The food is just so-so which is frustrating because it's WAY over-priced. A plate of four small taquitos was $9 and that didn't include any sides. I thought rice and beans came with all dinners but I guess not?!? They charged me $1 extra to have sour cream which I thought was a standard topping on all Mexican food. A tiny cup of cheese dip was $3.50. To top it all off they charged me for my kids' drinks even though the menu stated that drinks were a part of the kids meal price. The food isn't even very good here so keep driving a few minutes down the road and you'll find a dozen other Mexican restaurants that have better food and better prices.

    We go here a lot, probably too much! It's a little inconsistent so giving it 4 stars.

    My brother is Jesse M., who also left a review for this place. He knew how to order and for this reason we were in good hands. They knew exactly who he was and what he liked to drink, lol. I had what he had, which is to say we had top shelf margaritas. They were STRONG but GOOD. I think I had two of them. I say 'think" because hell if I can remember. I had the enchiladas and my husband had the fajitas. My husband liked his food a lot and ate until he was nearly sick, not that this is anything new. So portions are sizable. Food is ok to good. All in, next time in Iowa, I'll definitely be back.

    As stated in another review. Walking in here is like walking in any one of hundreds of Mex restaurants around the country, all with same look and feel and menu. Very few of these places are truly exceptional and this place is not one of them. Some days the food and service is pretty good and other days it's almost two stars; just VERY inconsistent. We do go here often though because it is convenient.

    For Mid-Western Mexican food, it was very good. Food was a little bland, but I am use to CA Mexican food. Would definitely recommend to any traveler through Iowa. Service was also very good. Restaurant as clean.

    Food was ok, kind of bland. We ordered beers and margarita. Waiter never came back to offer more drinks. Had one and that was it. They saved us money by not coming back to offer more drinks. Generally have 3-4 beers. Oh well. Will Try a different place next time

    Alright. LTA is good for a few things. Thing is...you's gots to know what to get. So, having started rough, I think I now have a decent feel for how to work this joint. First: top shelf margarita with Centennario. Those cats pour HEAVY. Also, if you dig swine, get the La Burrito de la Roqueta - IMHO the best item on the menu, other than the top shelf Centennario margaritas.... Or, the Enchildas Rancheros. The former is better. Then, get another top shelfer. Nighty night!. Don't drive far, neither...

    This is typical of many typical Mexican restaurant in the area. The ingredients are all the same and the menu items are all the same. However the service is always very quick and they seem to be very attentive. The prices are good. And you can almost always get a table immediately.

    Just ate here tonight with friends. My first time in this restaurant. I thought the salsa and chips were the best part of the meal. Good salsa with a little kick to it. I ordered the #7 combo, beef enchilada, chili relleno, with beans and rice. The rice was all dried out and the beans were tasteless. The beef enchilada was ok. The chili relleno was a complete disappointment. It was mushy and tasted like it had been frozen and made a week ago. I could taste the refridgeration!! The cheese on top wasn't even cooked. The thing was cold and pretty gross. If you want good mexican with a chili relleno done right go to los cabos!

    We tried this place once. The food was great. The service was okay, until we heard one of the guys in charge yelling at one of the women who was waitressing. It sounded like a very petty complaint on his part. He didn't even make an effort to take her to the kitchen; yelled at her just beyond dining room visibility. The place was rather expensive anyway. But, if they treat the hired help like that, we won't go back. And we haven't been back.

    There was nothing wrong with Los Tres Amigos. They just didn't do anything to set themselves apart from the crowd. I could have had the exact same experience at any other the many Mexican restaurants in the Des Moines area. The service was great, we never had to wait for refills or more chips and salsa. The food tasted good as well. I'll definitely go back as it's so close to home, but like I said, it's nothing spectacular.

    One of my favorite places in the Des Moines area. Try the Burrito Ranchero (either beef or chicken). Excellent salsa.

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.
