Mi Patria Ecuadorian - West Des Moines

Yes, this place is definitely worth a second, third and fourth visit! From the empanades to the roasted coconut banana dessert everything was amazing! The Aroz con pollo had so much taste and the Mojito was the best I ever had. Very recommended! Can't say enough about the fantastic service and food. Run, don't go to this joint!

Mi Patria is fantastic. I was for lunch and I wanted to go back. We had both amazing meals Arroz con pollo and Arroz con camerones with a coconut crust desert. It was the best meal we had in a restaurant in a long time, and we eat pretty. Our server was the most beautiful person ever. Always smiling and comprehending that we were there, what a nice touch to the latest culinary experiences. Very recommended! And funny fact that they were presented to Diners, Drive-ins and Dives.

This was on DDD but thats not why I choose to eat here. I love trying new foods, unfortunately in my experience most places I have been haven't been very helpful understanding what your ordering. Not the case here. As soon as we sat down our waitress made sure to tell us she would be back to answer any questions we had about the menu. But there website already does that. They have pictures of everything so I already new what I wanted. The service was excellent and so was the food. GREAT PLACE !!!!

We visited Iowa for the first time. My family is from Ecuador so when I saw Mi Patria, I had to try it. The food was fantastic. Super authentic and delicious!! The hornado was just like my grandma makes back home. Also the staff was so nice. He was the son of the owners and was very personable and friendly. I’d def recommend to anyone!

Amazing chap. Was a bit skeptical to try Oktopus in Iowa, but the Ceviche Mixto far exceeds all expectations. If you want something different and original, come in here.
