La Rielera LLC

Tucked along Des Moines Memorial Drive South, this easy-to-miss spot opens into a festive, mural-adorned dining room focused on substantial portions. Beyond gigantic tacos, charcoal-grilled chicken, and family-style party trays, the kitchen leans into hefty comfort fare. A standout order is the molcajete packed with carne asada, chuleta, chicken, chorizo, cactus, and grilled cheese, balanced by bowls of homemade caldo de res filled with tender cuts of beef.
