Holiday Dining in Des Moines, Iowa

Monday December 21, 2009

dosrios.jpgWhether Des Moines is your destination this holiday season or you're passing through, here are some excellent places to try while staying at the Sheraton West Des Moines.

You might not expect great Mexican in the middle of Iowa, but Dos Rios delivers, with authentic flavors and top-notch margaritas. It also boasts the biggest buzz in town thanks to its great looking space and salsa nights.

For more of an old-school vibe, head to Tumea & Sons for old-fashioned red sauce Italian.

If you're not sure what your in the mood for, there's always Azalea, which has a little of everything: small plates, wood-fired pizzas and meaty steaks and chops.

If you're not from Iowa, you owe it to yourself to grab a "loosemeat sandwich" at the Maid-Rite across University Avenue from the Sheraton. It's a local chain with a cult-like following.
