The vibes are great, and so is the food. The staff is not terrible, but they could definitely be better trained.

Our company ordered it for a Holiday lunch. It was so good! Best tacos I've had in a long time. Not only was everything amazing, they packaged everything very nice and neat! Taking my family in next time we get a chance. I hope this business succeeds!

First time stopping in. Eddie, Carla, and Elliott were very helpful explaining the menu and making sure we had a good experience. Restaurant was clean and neatly decorated. Never had tried a torta but was pleasantly surprised. Basically a Mexican sandwich for about 12 plus or minus a dollar or two depending on which you choose. Will be back and hope this family-owned restaurant has much success here in Waukee!

The food is amazing! It's like a party in your mouth with all the different flavors. We had the chorizo egg burrito and the carnita breakfast torta, and they were both delicious.

These tacos are AMAZING!! If TNT stood for another thing it would be Tasty N Terrific. I'm all about the street tacos here and they are consistently delicious. Made to order, hot and fresh. Nice size menu, easy to decide. Nice choices of drinks. Including aqua frescas! Service is consistently excellent. Friendly, helpful, patient and accommodating. Shop is always clean and upkept in a timely manner. Can get busy during the lunch hour! But there’s always a spot for dine in. I love the taco truck vibe without having to be outdoors looking for a spot to sit. This is a nice sit down for a quick bite to eat. Price for 3 tacos 9.97 Aqua Fresca 3.99 Soda and bottled drinks 2-3 Churro 3.xx Can easily spend 40 with gratuity for lunch. I recommend TNT for your street taco cravings if you're in the west side of Des Moines!

If you're craving authentic Mexican flavors, look no further than TNT. Their tacos al pastor are an absolute delight, with perfectly seasoned meat that's juicy and tender, topped with fresh cilantro and onions. But the magic doesn't stop there - their churros are heavenly, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside with a touch of dulce de leche, dusted with just the right amount of cinnamon sugar. And let's not forget their addictive chips and salsa, a perfect balance of spice and flavor. From the first bite to the last, every dish at TNT is a taste of Mexico you won't soon forget.

Ordered the al pastor tacos,street taco, quesabirria taco, chips & queso. Overall, the tacos were pretty good. Lots of meat and flavorful. Queso was good, but the chips were stale. It's not a huge deal, so hopefully, next time, that's not an issue. Update, Came back for lunch and tried the Torta Cubana. This thing is massive, so you better be hungry. There are lots of different flavors going on. Which makes it very tasty.
