That list is a total joke.....I would totally ignore that and listen to the people posting here. Tasty Taco #9 :biglaugh:

I'll have none of that bad mouthing of Tasty Tacos around here.

Obviously the list is meant to encompass a lot of factors. Would anyone in their right mind go there on an anniversary date? No, but it's hard to find a better meal for $5 in DSM (or anywhere). What I'm trying to say is that in it's niche, Tasty Tacos is king.

Nothing is more romantic than a Tremendous Twelve at Perkins at 3AM. Trust me. Afterword, show her how special she is by drinking 11 beers while looking at her. She'll be swooning and telling all her girlfriends about it for weeks.

Pull a Tiger and go for the Tremendous 13 - hit a T12 and take home a waitress.

Can't go wrong with a bottle of the Mrs' favorite bottle of Boone's Farm and room service (Paul Revere's Pizza) ordered from the honeymoon suite of the jewel of Des Moines' south side, The Casa Bella. Home of the Triple X throwdown.

I was gonna say THH, but then I saw that you qualified it with "right mind", so...nevermind.

You know I love you....but.......no. First, it's east siiiiiide, so you may get car jacked. 2nd, the steak is no better than a steak at Bonanza. 3rd, it's east siiiiiide.

It may not be one of the best of fanciest, but my wife always requests to go to The Radish for our anniversary.

Sage in Windsor Heights.

Chef Meeck(sp?) closed Sage and was later hired as head Chef at Sborrco(sp?) which is a wine bar & restaurant on Court Ave (and another good anniversay dinner option).
