    Best burrito place in town, in my opinion. Fresh, tasty ingredients and friendly service. Flavored tortillas are a special touch. Good guacamole and salsas. Giant rice krispie treats. Love it all.

    Better than any chain burrito place in Des Moines. Like many others have said the guac is well worth a buck and you get a crazy amount. The beef is my fav taste like a roast! Great service too 5 star

    Stumbled on this place on a cross-country drive--it's like a better Chipotle. Tastier and more options, plus it's local. Highly recommend!

    Start it all by picking out a tortilla. Hot Stuff is in one place down at the end and everything is included in the price but queso, sour cream an guacamole. Custom made for you!

    Panchwho's? Quewhat? Chipotwhere?.......They dont have anything on Bandit Burrito! By far the best burrito joint in the midwest. Amazing hot sauce selection to add extra zing to your burrito.

    Most definitely worth the stop. Better than Chipotle and local awesomeness unlike Pancheros. Check out the chicken molé.

    The veggie chorizo is amazing. Even if you're not veggie, it's worth a taste.

    For the vegetarian options, talk it out with the burrito makers before you pick out the tortilla.

    Pretty average. Would probably go with the Jimmy Johns next door. No steak option only shredded beef.

    Guac recommendation number 3. You gotta get it! They put a substantial amount on, unlike those *other* burrito places.
