I love this michoacana location, it’s def my fav in Des Moines. The staff are super friendly and attentive, their food options are great, and they keep the space super clean! I even noticed a worker advise some guests to not sit at a certain table because she had not cleaned it yet. To me, that shows how much they care!! My gf and I were offered a matcha horchata sample and it was FIRE!!! I had a paleta de cajeta, and my friend had una de fresa. Both were super yummy and a perfect treat :) I look forward to trying more menu items since it’s so expansive!

Came for the first time with a dear friend & we were greeted instantly with warm smiles. The shop is very cute, clean, and well decorated. I was a little shy because I didn’t know what to order or how to speak Spanish (LOL), but the lady working the counter was very patient with me as I kept looking back and forth. She even offered us a matcha horchata sample & it was delicious, I would definitely come back just for that! Next time I’m in the area, I am going to try and order some food from here!

The Chicken Burrito with mayo is beyond amazing and the banana Smooties are closer to the runny side but very tasty as well. The main menu is in Spanish, they have smaller take home menus in English. Price is about the same as most other take out restaurants. My chicken burrito that came with fries was around $10. Parking is limited but it's next to the school so if it's after school hours there is close parking there also some street parking on 50th st.

2024 Went and got ice cream from this place. The ice cream is very good, however the service is not good. To begin everything is in Spanish which was fine and about everyone working there speaks mainly Spanish which is also fine. However I had to sit there after ordering a simple scoop of ice cream for 15 minutes and watch as some Latino gentlemen came in and were given their ice cream right after paying. Its possible there was a communication error behind the counter but it did feel that since I am not Latino my order was not given the same level of importance. The workers did apologize after I went back to the counter but it was only a sorry and they moved on. Overall just felt rude and poor service.

Update 2025 Decided to give this place another chance and was happy with the service. Although busy the staff were attentive and served us in a timely manner. The ice cream here is great...

★★★★★ A Spellbound Experience at La Michoacana!

Visiting La Michoacana was nothing short of a spellbound experience! From the moment I stepped in, I was captivated by the vibrant atmosphere and the enticing aroma of freshly made treats. The variety of flavors is simply amazing.

The staff was incredibly warm and welcoming, making the experience even more delightful. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and made with care. The cozy ambiance and colorful presentation added to the charm of the place.

If you're looking for a treat that excites your taste buds and leaves you craving more, La Michoacana is the perfect spot. I can't wait to return and explore more of their delicious offerings! Highly...
