Everything is gluten free which was amazing, I didn't have to worry about only getting to choose from two items on the menu. The salsa options were a bit odd, there was a cheese/yogurt type dip among the four they give you and it just didn't fit with the Latino flavors well, it was more Mediterranean in taste. Definitely pricier for how much food you get but the chips are a free refill. When I asked about diet pop options I was told they didn't have any but they have what appeared to be a full bar with a fountain pop sprayer (which normally would have at least one diet option). The only thing I could have to drink was water there (I'm a type one diabetic and regular pop is a bad situation).

The server was very understanding of my boyfriends celiac and did everything to make sure we were happy.

My first food stop in Iowa was to take a solo walk to get tacos at Malo. This one was a home run at my first at-bat as a Des Moines rookie. Wow. I timed it just right, and they were placing my bag of food on the table right as I walked in the door. I got the avocado and fried onions on corn tortillas, and instead of getting a combo, I got the portobello mushrooms as my side. That way I was able to just put them on my tacos. I also got a side of fruit with sweet chili sauce. It didn't want to have anything super spicy before my marathon (think about it) so I got the pico de gallo. The tacos were delicious, and the fresh tortillas seemed handmade. The fruit was so juicy and sweet, but the stunner here was the portobello mushroom - like steak strips. Savory and meaty but not too salty... Just amazing. I had enough left over for a second meal. Great vegan and gluten-free options.

I liked it! Staff were friendly and attentive, my tacos al pastor were delicious, and chips and salsa were great, too. Food was hot when served, and the tacos contained a generous amount of meat. I have celiac disease, so I was pleased that corn tortillas were available, and I noted that some items could be made gluten free on request. Nice atmosphere, and the tables weren't arranged too close to each other. I told my friends that I would happily return to El Molcajete next time I visit them! 👍

Awful service. When we walked up, we asked the man to change his gloves, get a new rice, chicken, and utensils for both because we had a wheat allergy (actually celiacs, but people usually get that better). He said "excuse me?" So we repeated it. He said "seriously, are you kidding me?!" He muttered something under his breath. He then told his coworker to " you deal with this", like we were a nuisance. As his coworker came over (who seemed quite nice, and shocked with this man's behavior), we said "excuse me!?", And he replied, word for word, "get your food and get out!" and gestured for us to get out. We replied "that was extremely disrespectful, we won't get our food, but we will in fact get out". we walked out. We did not catch this man's name, but he had a gray beard, rectangular glasses, and was almost completely bald.

Tried to order a bowl, as I have celiacs and cannot have the tortillas. Watched a chunk of tortilla fly into the rice, and when I asked them to use the unopened rice, they refused, said there was no tortilla and gave incredibly small portions for everything else. Cross contamination is a serious issue and now I can’t eat this bowl that we paid for, for risk of irreversible intestinal damage because the girl didn’t want to lift a lid.

The food was really good. I asked about gluten free options. They claimed the chips were only fried with vegetables and no flower. They did not serve any breaded onion rings.

Have enjoyed La Mesa for many years. Fajita Nachos was awesome & enough for 2 meals at least! I am gluten-free & my mother is low sodium. They serve many dishes using corn shells which resolves my issues, but would like to see more than a salad for low sodium options. A plain burger with no seasoning is what she usually can get, but we did not see this here, although the salad was filling for her, just no protein option.

I came here for lunch with one of my friends who is Vegan and gluten-free. We originally tried to order something for her from the brunch menu--arepas, but the cook said that the cheese was already mixed in. They instead brought out the dinner menu where my friend was able to find something fulfilling that would also be kind to her tummy. Not only that, but her quinoa salad was absolutely to die for! We originally chose Panka because they were giving away free coffee for Latino Restaurant Week and were pleasantly surprised that they not only had a brunch menu, but that they are absolute perfectionists when it comes to execution of their food. You could taste the pride in every bite! We can't wait to come back here! You wouldn't think that it would be much in a little strip, but this restaurant is beautiful inside! They also have outdoor seating but there's a little bit of construction going on right now. Definitely one to put on your list!
