Review by Leanna Parisian

Rancho Alegre Restaurant is a hidden gem for authentic Mexican cuisine in Des Moines! 🌮 The sopes are incredible - some of the best I've had, perfectly topped and bursting with flavor. We also enjoyed the delicious homemade salsa with our chips.

The service was impressively fast, and the staff was friendly, which made the experience even better. Sure, the place could use a thorough cleaning, but don’t let that stop you from enjoying their affordable and tasty meals! I can’t wait to return for another round of those amazing veggie sopes! 🌟
