Henry J's Taco House is a nostalgic gem on the Southside! 🌮 Just a block away, it's my go-to for a quick bite. I ordered the 2 taco meal with rice and beans, and it was perfection: perfectly fried shells with a delicious meat and bean blend, topped with cheese.

The portion sizes are generous for the price! Don't skip the cheese curds - they're crunchy and ooey-gooey goodness.

The vibe is cozy and casual, making it perfect for a solo lunch or dinner. If you’re in Des Moines, you have to check it out! 😊
