" This place has quickly become one of my favorites in Des Moines! The presentation of each dish is beautiful, and the taste is even better. My go-to is the shrimp tacos, which are perfectly seasoned and cooked just right. I often order takeout, and it's always ready on time without compromising on flavor. I can’t wait to try something new next visit! Tacos La Familia is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wonderful dining experience! The flavors in their tacos are rich and vibrant. Ordered a couple of birria and tongue tacos, which were both excellent and came with various dipping sauces that enhanced the flavors. Service was prompt, and the atmosphere was homey and welcoming. I will definitely return to try more from the menu! The only downside was the slightly limited parking options nearby; so plan accordingly. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for authentic Mexican eats! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Tacos La Familia last week with my coworkers, and it was an excellent choice. We ordered a mix of tacos, burritos, and quesadillas, and everything was scrumptious. The birria taco stood out for its rich, savory flavors. The atmosphere was chill, making it perfect for after-work meals. I would say the prices are very reasonable given the quality of the food. Will be back for sure to try more! Just a tip: arriving earlier helps with parking. " (*Curated Review*)

" Last week, I had dinner at Tacos La Familia after hearing all the buzz around it. The food did not disappoint! I enjoyed their carne asada tacos, and they had such a rich flavor. The complimentary chips and salsa were a great bonus while waiting for our food. Though it was a bit busy when I arrived, I felt the staff worked efficiently, and I didn’t have to wait too long for my meal. There’s something so heartwarming about their cozy setup too!

" What a unique dining experience! Tacos La Familia puts a fresh twist on classic dishes that I grew up with! I particularly loved their fried tacos with a scrumptious filling and crunchy exterior. Everything was really flavorful, and I liked how they offer different salsas to amp up the flavor. As a local, I appreciate the good, authentic food right in my neighborhood! Definitely a repeat for me. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a delightful meal at Tacos La Familia! The combination of spices and fresh ingredients in their dishes makes it stand out from other taco places. I tried their aguas frescas for the first time too, and it rounded out the meal perfectly. The seating is limited, but I found the environment cozy. One downside—parking is a little tricky, but worth the effort. I’ll definitely be returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)
