Food: Everything we’ve ever ordered has been astounding! All of the food is fresh, hot, and full of flavor. Portion size is great as well! I love the bread options their store offers also. The quesabirrias tacos are a favorite go to! They also provide lime wedges, radish slices, roasted peppers, and roasted onion with the tacos. The fresh, crisp cilantro is the “cherry” on top lol.

Best Tacos in Ames hands down. Rinconcitos is so good Id slap my grandmother for a taco. Food comes out hotter than 2 squirrels doing it in a wool sock. Tastiest juiciest tacos Birrias Ive ever eaten. But seriously I've tried their tortas, their burritos, their tacos, I love them all.

I was just passing through and saw this restaurant tucked behind Walmart. The food here is very tasty, its freshly made. I had 3 chicken tacos. Very tasty 😋 I also order 2 different kinds of pupusas, they were a bit greasy but nevertheless tasty. Will definitely come back!
