I have to say when I first arrived, I was not pleased with the initial service. However after speaking with Ashley and gaining an understanding, the service was phenomenal. Great food and very fulfilling for the price! Thank you for all you’ve done Ashley and Lindsey, keep up the great work!

Super fresh margaritas! Peach and Pineapple were top favorites on the flavor! Ceviche and salsa are a perfect app duo to share as well as carinitas burrito Great happy hour spot..went early and secured a table Does get busy fast and lots of people standing around. We were seated but eventually had lots of backsides in close proximity as peope crowded in lol A great staff and spot to check out!

Popped in to get out of the cold during a trip to Des Moines and was very pleasantly surprised. The margaritas were good but the tacos were incredible. Really impressed and happy to see the DSM food game picking up like this! Highly recommended.

We were in the East Village and decided to stop. Had the salsa flight and the Coa Poloma. Both extremely good. Sat outside and had a great time. They say the margarita is an award winner but my wife wasn’t impressed. It was good, just not different enough. I recommend this place.

Coa Cantina rocks! We enjoyed the cocktails, tacos and Mexican street corn. The bartenders were friendly and made sure we didn't wait long for a drink. I absolutely LOVED the Coa Mezcal Margarita. Can't wait to return for more.
