Reviews for Pueblo Viejo in Des Moines, IA
Waitstaff were very pleasant and made ordering fast and painless while also being polite. Our waitress in particular was very... energetic and took great care of my group. The food is more than worth the $10-$20 per plate as the portion sizes are large andthe meal itself is delicious. Overall, it was a great experience and someplace I will definitely revisit. Read more
Despite being right in the middle of the dinner rush, (@635) we were quickly seated in a booth. Great floor plans, lots of... tables, not crowed on top of each other. Not noisy, acoustics keep conversations private. Nothing spectacular about the decor...but the food was very tasty, served fresh, hot and had great visual appeal. We ordered "Chicken fajita Combo". It was too muchfood to split between 2 adults. Thursday is 1/2 off regular Margarita day! ($3.00 seems to make it taste better.) Their chipswere not the best, thicker cut, seemed stale, but the salsa was fabulous! Added to the top of the food ordered~ yum! Wouldcertainly recommend you give it a try. Everything we saw looked very good. Try the peach margarita, it was a nice addition on ahot summer day. Prices were reasonable. Parking not a problem. Service attentive and fast, but no sense of being rushed throughyour meal. Read more
The people were nice, we were seated and served quickly, and our order was accurate. The salsa was the nastiest I?ve ever had.... My husband and I both took a bite at the same time and made the same face at each other - gross! We asked for hot salsa to seeif it was any better but it was just a different kind of gross. The rest of the food was just so so. Read more
Service was great. However, the food subpar to say the least. My tortilla was so soggy it fell apart in my hand and i couldn?t... eat my taco and my taco was filled with mostly tomatoes and barely any steak. Beans were great though! and Horchata was amazing! Read more

Pueblo Viejo is one of the best lunch spots on the East side of Des Moines. The food is always outstanding. The staff is... friendly and most of them have been there for years, the service is always great. I have tried a lot of the menu over the pastseveral years, but my favorites are the Pollo Loco and the Fajita Quesadilla. Don?t forget to ask for their spicier salsa. Ithas a great smoked/roasted flavor and is just a bit hotter than their normal salsa, it?s delicious! Read more
Chips and salsa was pretty good. We were seated quickly with friendly service. Waiter was really nice and checking on us. I... like how they brought out a cold mug to go with the coors light. The chalupa was really big and crispy. Excellent meat inside.Food came out hot. Spanish rice was really delicious, was super soft and fresh. Chips were fresh as well. The food comes out sofast it?s unreal. Read more
