Wonderful food and service,authentic Ecuadorian food a truly fun experience. A must if you are in Des Moines area. Thank you to the owner for making our Memorial day lunch awesome

We drove for over an hour to eat here, based on a recommendation from a friend. At the door, we were told that they were only open for take out, as they "had no servers". Since eating in our car didn't seem like a good...option, we left. We will never go back.More

Stayed over in West Des Moines on a cross country road trip and ate at the Mi Patria restaurant. I desperately need a glass of wine after 9 hours of driving and even though there was a Corona sign in the window, the restaurant could...not serve alcohol. That's OK, I got a glass of water with my delicious dinner. Not much ambiance but good service and great food. Big portions so bring a big appetite. I really like this restaurant and when I come back and they have their liquor license, I will give it a 5/5.More

So very good! Service was great, so much food and so delicious! Had the carne Asada and the Pappa Serana - they were really good and our bill was a solid $20 less we are used to paying for a dinner.

Great food and great service! Had hornado con mote and camarones al ajillo--both were delicious! Will definitely come back to this spot.

My family and I have been here many times over the years. Great variety of food, and it all tastes amazing. My favorite entrée is the churrascos, and we always get the llapingachos as an appetizer. It does take a little while to get your...food, but it's amazing quality, so it's always worth it.More

Food was very tasty. You will not leave hungry. Plantains were fantastic. I would highly recommend going to this restaurant.

Found mi patria a few years ago and I have never been disappointed. The food is always excellent and the service is great! Mi Patria is one of the best restaurants in the Des Moines area..

Stopped in for a repeat visit, can't believe it took me so long to get back. The food and service are outstanding! Found Mi Patria via Diners Drive-Ins and Dives a few years back and had no idea what we were in for.....all I can...say is it is fantastic! The Empanadas have such a flakey crust and the beef was very tender with a little kick of heat. I added some of their signature hot sauce and that put it over the top! The Chaulafan is Stir-fried rice with pork, beef, chicken, shrimp, egg, and vegies...and you get an awesome portion as well!! The service was outstanding...very attentive and friendly...I promise to be back sooner next time!More

We went to Mi Patria for my wife’s birthday. It was amazing. I had the spare ribs. My wife and daughter shared the combo platter and also enjoyed it. The plantains were a highlight. They prepare them multiple ways and both are good. On top...of all of this, the service was excellent. The waitress was friendly and very helpful about the menu.More

We love the Ecuadorian cuisine! Friendly staff! We regularly get appetizers and enjoy the potato, vegetable and meats.

Picked up carry out from Mi Patria on Saturday night. Everytime we eat here we ask ourselves why we don't take the time to eat here more often. Food is fantastic everytime. The staff is friendly, the food is hot and full of flavor. This...restaurant is one of the best.More
