For over 74 years Latin King Restaurant has stood as a hallmark of quality traditional Italian dining in Des Moines. Considered an “East-side institution,” Latin King delivers an authentic piece of It…
The baked lasagna meal for 4 was delicious! Salad was cold, lasagna was hot. What a treat to have Latin King delivered to our door. For just two of us we had food for the weekend! Will do this again.

I'm not sure if it was the dasher or the store, the bags did not come sealed. But even on the receipt on the bag itself did not have my side salad selection or added protein. So it very well could be a system malfunction causing missing side/added items. Food was delicious! The Gnocchi Alla Sorrentina is like small bites of cheesy gooey heaven in a perfectly balanced sauce. The Pollo Alla Piccata was a nice balance between acid and oil. I did add a little Parmesan to mellow the lemon but I'm not a huge fan of tangy. It was a perfect addition. Hopefully they can work out the bugs in the system. I would love to enjoy their food again, I do think I will just eat in house next time though. Price point was not bad at all for the time and care it took to perfect the recipes. The portions are great too! I have left overs for lunch now as well.

Listen up, I strongly advise against ordering from this restaurant. As someone who rarely rates on DoorDash, I felt it necessary to share my experience. The prices are ridiculously high—I paid $30 for food that was simply awful. The side salad consisted of nothing but plain lettuce with ranch dressing, lacking any tomatoes, onions, or cucumbers. The Alfredo was served in a tiny portion with zero flavor. The lasagna? Under-cooked with noodles that were both mushy and oddly tough. The fried ravioli was disappointing, filled with a strange, tough meat that you wouldn’t expect from any decent Italian place. Save your time and money; this place needs to step up its game, especially given their prices.Pasta Trio

Our calamari was cold, not even Luke warm.
Lasagna was a good potion but felt it lacked taste.
Filet Mignon Marsala was not a Marsala wine sauce, tasted like spaghetti sauce.
