The best high foods in Des Moines

Welp. It's that day your high school principal warned your parents about.

• Maybe you're a bit of a rebel and partake in the devil's cabbage, also known as James Bong, also known as staying high-drated.

However you choose to spend your 4-20, nourishing yourself with some cheap and delicious local food should be a part of it.

• Here are a few of our top tasty picks:

Birria tacos from Nina's Tacos

These thick beefy tacos are a hearty start to lounging around all day. They’re dipped in a stew and then fried in their juices — giving them a tender inside and crispy, taco shell outside.

• The best part: The gooey Oaxaca cheese.

Where to find it: 1301 Watrous Ave.

Cheeseburger and fries from Ted's Coney Island

Listen, basically anything from Ted's Coney Island shines today. We know what this Des Moines institution is all about.

• Their cheeseburger and fries are greasy, hot, fast and filling. Exactly what we need.

Where to find it: 3020 Ingersoll Ave.

Banana split sundae from Dairy Zone

Your diet needs a little bit of color and some nutrition. A classic banana split sundae from Dairy Zone will do the trick.

• It's creamy, cold and includes lots of different flavors and textures for your mouth, like chocolate syrup or strawberry chunks.

Plus: Add a psychedelic twist and ask for some "krunch" on top.

The bottom line: You're welcome.

Where to find it: 2219 E. University Ave.
