Were you one of the many wondering about Dos Rios? Just in time for weekend dining here’s a review done by our friends at The Des Moines Register.

Here’s a few highlights:

MENU: It’s as daring and seductive as a willful suitor, fearless in its quest to bowl us over. Tacos, chiles relleños and enchiladas share the menu with new-to-town choices, many conceived with unexpected dips and turns. Ever had a hearts-of-palm salad with diced pumpkin seeds? A chicken chop with chayote gratin, poblano peppers and red mole? Indeed, the great variety of sauces alone - including green mole, red mole, chimichurri, roasted tomatillo sauce, pipian verde sauce - will have most food-lovers dizzy and reeling with giddy anticipation.

Sounds good right?

THE COMEBACK: An order of the marvelously fresh and chunky guacamole - made tableside - got us right back on track, even if ours was made from less-than-alluring kitchen cart, utilitarian prep pans and all.

From there, most items ranged from good to “can you believe we’re eating this in Des Moines?” I can say for certain that I’ll never go here without ordering the Chile Relleño. No limp, mushed-out mess here - the fully intact chile pepper stood firm, thick with a sweet-savory mix of ground pork and raisins. Also not to be missed: Gorditas al Pastor - corn masa pockets filled with succulent pork shoulder.

Meat-lovers should consider the Fred Flintstone-sized chile-glazed beef rib; the less adventuresome will appreciate the fresh, simple, satisfying tacos. Skip, however, the Tortilla Soup - it tasted little better than a doctored-up concoction that started from a can.

That’s right, it’s official. You have plans tonight and they include dinner at Dos Rios!
