Faustinos Taqueria opens in Des Moines

• The menu is full of twists on Faustino family recipes that originated in Guerrero, Mexico.

On the menu: Their signature dish is street tacos. Choose from eight types, including the delicious Nopal Mexicano — grilled cactus, tomatoes and avocado ($2.75).

• The torta, a sandwich made with a crusty bread roll, is another popular choice, Sky Faustino tells Axios.

💬 Jason's thought bubble: It's affordable, tasty and different — not just a common American-Mexican combo meal sort of place.

• Plus, the salsa bar is a nice touch.

⏰ Open: Faustinos Taqueria is open Mon.-Thurs., 10am-9:30pm; Fri.-Sat, 10am-10:30pm.

• 4944 Franklin Ave., DSM.
