La Tapatia Grocery is the best tienda mexicana in Des Moines, offering almost everything needed for Mexican and Hispanic food. It has a great and vast selection of Mexican products, meats, produce, sweet bread, frozen treats, candy, and a bakery with great tres leches cake. The business also features an outside BBQ grill with individual or family servings. It is a great local grocery with a big parking lot, and it offers additional services like an ATM, cash checking, beer and liquor, and traditional cooking utensils. The staff is the most helpful, the place is clean and handicap accessible, and the quality products are reasonably priced.

Everything there offers an opportunity to make authentic Mexican dishes and the pricing is awesome. They even have a small section of authentic Mexican clay pottery and dishware available for purchase.

Love this store. The cashiers all have always spoke both Spanish and English. Prices are reasonable. Way cheaper than big grocers. Even treat gringos like me nicely😁
