This is probably my 2nd favorite place on my list of top five taco trucks around the 515 to visit. Normally I stick with the carne asada tacos. Every once in awhile I’ll grab a carne asada quesadilla and when I’m feeling rowdy, I’ll either get a carne asada torta or a carne asada burrito with no beans Extra carne asada extra cheese add sour cream omg

Been a favorite since college when I first discovered Tacos Villanueva. Would highly recommend the steak burrito, the steak street tacos or the steak quesadilla. Always fast, fresh and filling!

Tacos Villanueva never disappoints. My husband had 4 steak tacos [sorry no pic]… and he helped with a few bites of my enormous chorizo burrito. Delicious . The ingredients were perfectly distributed throughout the slightly crispy tortilla. They’re always friendly. I also love that they have a row of picnic tables.

I got the chicken burrito and pork tacos which were both very delicious. The pork tasted strong of clove, which paired well with the tomatillo salsa. I love that they even came with grilled jalapeño and onion. I was a bit bummed that the radish slices weren’t fresh.

Steak tacos and quesadillas are so good! Quesadillas came out hot and slightly crispy. Red sauce also tasty. Probably my favorite taco truck.

Always go here on my day off for lunch or dinner. They’re not open on Sundays for those who want tacos on Sundays.

This is an excellent taco truck. I was happy to see a taco truck that still has $2 tacos. Service was fast, and the amount of food is generous. The green sauce is amazing – both spicy and smokey. Grilled onions and radishes are included on the side. They use a pager system to let you know when your food is ready. The only miss was that the beverage selection was limited when we went for a late dinner, but it’s understandable. I can see why this is considered one of the top taco trucks in Des Moines.
