About Roadside Tacos
Oh, taco trucks. Where would the food scene of any given city be without one? If you happen to be in Des Moines, IA, Roadside Tacos is the city’s go-to iteration of this forever vogue foodie fave. If you’re looking to satisfy your cravings for all things Mexican via a classic street taco or overstuffed burrito, this is the place to do just that.
The menu sports all the veritable classics that grant taco trucks an eternal place in the hearts of avid eaters. The menu has your usual array of well-seasoned meats, crispy veggies, fiery salsas, and aromatic spices and herbs responsible for the bold, satisfying flavor of Mexican cuisine. Here, you can grab a taco served on a fresh-off-the-griddle corn tortilla, a bed of crispy nachos smothered in queso, or a massive burrito packed with rice and beans. This tried-and-true fare never goes out of fashion for a reason, so either stop by Roadside Tacos yourself or book ‘em for your next event. Either way, it’s a wise decision.

What is the story behind your business' name?
My daughter came up with it. It’s kind of like you see Roadside Tacos and think, “It might be kind of sketchy, but it could be good.” That’s kind of how we roll.
Where did you learn to cook?
I’ve always been interested in the food business. My parents owned restaurants. That’s kind of where I learned to cook, really.
Why did you decide to start your business?
My daughter had a heart transplant. She had a million appointments. I had to get her to her appointments and make money. I can dictate my own schedule with a food truck.
Who encouraged you the most to start your own business?
My daughter did. She was like, “You got the pop-up camper in the back. Why don’t you just convert that?” So, that’s kind of what happened.
What's your favorite event that you've catered for?
Kemin Industries. They had multiple trucks and they only want the best. It was a big event. There were many different options to choose from and we were one of them.
What is your favorite dish on the menu?
Our street tacos. They actually won the 2017 Des Moines Social Truck Food Truck Throw Down.
