I think they make it, dining in you get it in cups. But then they bottle it also and sell it at retail.
Wait - THESE - are the “Tasty Tacos” you DSM folk rave about!!??

Yeah, no good food from anywhere along the Mississippi River. 🙄
Probably no decent music from those parts either.
Depends on what his opinion of the Red Lobster trout dish is.

Red Lobster is as good a seafood place as Tasty Tacos is a Mexican joint.
Garbage in, garbage out.
Speaking of garbage out, just unloaded the Tasty Taco at Target.
There's about 30 places in the DSM area that have better tacos than Tasty Tacos.
Only way to eat a tasty taco is to put sauce on before you eat then every bite add another splash of their taco sauce. No one can beat that sauce

Yeah, seems pretty insecure about his shitty life in the Quads. Sad for him
Ever been to the Urbandale Cancun? I have a friend who swears it is the best Mexican in DSM but I have not tried it.
I love hot stuff (not so hot you are miserable, but spicier than most) and it does have some heat. My family likes it but thinks it is too spicy.
Next time you are in town I suggest B-Bop’s for a great fast food burger.
7.6 on the fast foot taco rating scale. The shell was good, but a little too puffy. Meat was perfectly seasoned and had good flavor, they also give a good portion of it. The sauce was good at first and had good flavor, but mouth is on fire now so that took it down a notch.
Overall experience was good and would definitely recommend.
Never had BBops either. I'm in Ankeny a lot and just always forget to try it. Wife is from there and her sister and parents still live there. Wifes family all likes Tasty Tacos, but her cousins from Houston had it when they were back this summer and said it was disgusting. They still make jokes about it.
I have not, but will guess it's better than Tasty Tacos. In my opinion, the best places around DSM are a few blocks East of the capital, there are three or four spots. Good Salvadoran too. And of course Tacos Mariana's is at the top.
The dude who started Tasty Tacos was from Mexico, came to the US in the 1950s IIRC. Richard Mosqueda.
No need to bring your mom into this.
My kids old nanny (you don’t want a pic tbw hired her) was an authentic born in Mexico Mexican and she likes tasty tacos. So that makes it official.
You been triggered. Get back to normal and write a mediocre column. You’ll be good as new.
Rookie move letting the wife hire the nanny. They never hire 20 year old nymphomaniacs from South Korea.
We have a Cancun in ankeny. It is pretty solid. Probably the best Mexican in ankeny.

I'm going to open some kind of takeout restaurant in iowa that's meant to troll the tastebuds of iowans. Why not start your morning with a pan fried slice of taco pizza with a shit ton of ranch and/or sour cream on it? I'll advertise it as an Italian-Mexican fusion slice.
I'm not going to knock the taste of how that taco looks, for all I know each of its parts tastes well......there's just a lot of everything and you shouldn't have to hide the taste of any of it with a dough like that. Or, the salsa comes out of a 5 gallon jar, you need the sour cream for some reason, you prefer cheese that doesn't belong on a taco, a microwave was involved at some point, etc.

TBH I think Waterloo has the best Authentic Mexican food in the state. So many great places #culture #waterlooproud
For reference THESE are tacos:
I make a mean Birria Taco. Actually, it’s impossible to make less than a couple dozen. So I make a mean batch of Birria Tacos.
You really left some of the proverbial meat on the bone by not getting an order of Poppers.
It was 4:30 and I had lunch at 1. My appt in Ankeny was at 5:30 so I went with one taco to give it a try, wasn't really hungry. Will do that next time.
They suck ass. You didn't miss anything you can't make from a bag in the freezer. They are notorious for giving people the shits though.
Fwiw I prefer the chicken taco.
damn right. build your tacos. Alfredo or Tomato sauce and pasta. salad bar. smash.
