Review №1

I have bought meat here that is borderline spoiled when I got it. This is the second time I’ve had this problem at this location. The first time I had an issue I bought meat and 4 days later (it being sealed and in my fridge the entire time) I went to cook and it was spoiled all the way through.(RESPONSE TO OWNER)The first picture is of meat 4 hours after I bought it. The second picture is of another time I bought meat and that is what it looked like after 4 days

Mi gusta la tienda! Fresh meats, sausage, fish, cheese. They really cover Latin American flavors. Prices are better than the big groceries and the quality is better too. You might get a chance to practice your Spanish, if you dont speak Spanish, somebody will be there to speak English.

Ka Tapatia is well stocked and the girls are attentive to your needs. I like the paan dulce from Mexico and the fresh vegetables. I go to the one on Merle Hay.

This is a excellent store. It is clean and well maintained. I really enjoy the selection of Hispanic foods that I cannot get at a typical grocery store. Huge burrito tortilla among other unique finds. They have a nice meat counter and a small hot food bar with some classic basics like burritos and tamales. Staff if very nice and helpful. My favorite Hispanic food store Ive found. Thank you!

Some people of different race feel like they cant come here because this is a Mexican store. Fear not, I assure you, they will not treat you any different. They are very friendly and great products for a good price. This store is a great place to shop.

Great staff. Tons of Latin products soap to food and everything in between. Pinatas a plenty. Check out the butcher, fresh meats from seasoned to freshly cut. Stop by and try something new like the conchas or Mexican candies or try a new product. You may be surprised.

Typical Mexican grocery store on northwest side of Des Moines. Small store in a strip mall; has the essentials we need for authentic Mexican cooking. Also has ollas and equipment needed for cooking. Also a great place to get piñatas. Seems clean for the most part.

A good place to stop by and get a few things. Although very expensive produce compared to Walmart or aldi, basically any other place. They have nice candy and a lot of meat options although I prefer the one downtown this one saves the drive.
