   Every time we come to Des Moines, we eat at Latin King. This is the first time we’ve eaten there in almost two years and the food is not as good as it used to be. Our server was great, she was very nice and helpful, but all four of us felt the food was extremely disappointing, compared to many previous visits.

   Very happy with the Italian food and the fact you could tell they make items from scratch. The Penne Regine was great.

   Always a treat to enjoy pasta at the King. Service spectacular, apps (rings & cheese sticks) highly recommended.

   The food and service are always great. Lately they frequently are out of things. Last night it was French fries, last time it was fried chicken. Also it seems like you look online and there are no reservations available, but when you go in, it isn’t even busy.

   Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you enjoy our food and service, and we appreciate your patience with occasional shortages. We'll work on improving availability and the reservation system. Hope to see you again soon!

   I have been a Latin King customer when the Tursi family owned it, and the food/service has always been very consistent. The meal we just had was spot on and the service was perfect.
