I have been eating at Bandit Burrito since the early days when the original owner/chef Robert opened it. Since then, the new owners have done a remarkable job of keeping the spirit alive. I am so thankful for the care they have taken to capture the same consistent excellence.
If you want the best burrito in the Des Moines metro, come try the chicken mole (don't be scared, it's the best protein on the menu). I typically get double meat and do chicken mole + steak (pictured).
And if you like to add a little spice, their homemade salsa is incredible. They make every burrito to-order per your exact specs. Everything is fresh daily and is served up by people who care. Absolutely highest of recommendations. Enjoy!
