Taqueria y Tienda Mexicana La Piedad — Restaurant in Fort Dodge

First tried visiting on 1/16/25 around 3:45pm and was told they were "closed". Went back next day around 1:15pm and told the same thing... I asked the guy when they'd be open and his response was "2 weeks". I became skeptical afterwards due to these reasons: Before I walked in on the 2nd attempt noticed they have 2 neon signs both turned on w/ one being an "open" sign. After the 2nd attempt ended up walking the few blocks to Wendy's and walked past this place on my return 30 minutes later to see a patron sitting in one of their dining booths. Thier FB & Google have hours listed that their open to the evening. Probably walk by again in the upcoming days just to confirm my suspicions.

UPDATE: Walked by again same day on my way to Dunkin near 6pm. Both neon lights were still one & even saw the same guy step out as I was walking by across the street to "lock the front doors" before going back in. Walked by again 15 minutes later returning home and noticed 2 patrons inside who were obviously there to dine ordering at the counter, given 1 was going back and forth between the counter & booths.

..... so obviously the whole being "closed" is a bunch of BS. Don't know why this owner seems to be discriminating me from servicing. Doesn't want my money then, but will laugh if they go out of business within the next 1.5 of 2 years...

Great authentic mexican food, sweet bread and products. Food is the real deal, NO QUESO SAUCE SERVED. Product availability depends on which day of the week you stop in, ask when they stock up next time you're in so you know when it's likely they'll have more of...

We ordered beef tacos. They were authentic and delicious, but also very expensive - about $3/taco! Maybe because they're the only ones around?

They also have plenty of seating, and some authentic...
