Modern Mexican
Fresh tortillas made from organic Mexican corn, nixtamalized in-house, anchor the menu at this gluten-free modern Mexican restaurant in Des Moines's East Village. The chef spent years in fine dining before a deep dive into masa sent him to Mexico to learn the process properly. The room is casual enough that tacos feel right, but steelhead trout with mole verde suggests the kitchen has more on its mind than just keeping things simple.

“Try them in tacos, alongside a zesty main like steelhead trout with mole verde, or with the ceviche sangria, where they’re the perfect fried vehicle for scooping up seafood.”
