Everything here is great! The burritos are even larger than Chipotle/Pancheros and taste much better too! Ask for Alex as your server!

Have loved this place for years and then got take out tonight and sadly it was really bad. Food was cold, tortillas looked like they weren’t done, and the meat was dry and overcooked (the beef was actually burnt!), and one order was wrong and included onions although we asked for none. They also forgot our drink. Super disappointed. 

Business response:

Hi H.E. - we're sorry for your disappointing experience. We'd like to get to the bottom of what happened. Could you send us a direct message or email info@malodesmoines.com?

It was my 43rd birthday and our waiter knew it and did nothing to help me/us celebrate. Come on! And front desk greeter was dry and no personality as she took us to our table.

My family order the Salsa Trio which I only remember 2 (Serrano Salsa and Chipotle Salsa) and we each ordered the mix and match taco plate. My niece loved Al Pastor tacos, my dad liked the Dos Pescados, and I did the Mahi mahi taco, Dos Pescados, and the Chipotle Shrimp! Delicious and fresh food!

Loved the variety of salsas! All the food was delicious and being a bartender I’m pretty picky about my margaritas and they were spot on!! Emma did a great job taking care of us!!! Can’t wait to come back
