Here's a Des Moines-area restaurant, selected at random:
■ Latin King (2200 Hubbell, Des Moines)
Or, if that doesn't do it for you, here are two more:
■ Skip's (4000 Fleur Drive, Des Moines)
■ Happy Joe's (86th and Meredith, Urbandale)
There's also the Urban Spoon slot machine app.
And here may be a healthier option:
■ Samurai Sushi (7125 Mills Civic Parkway, West Des Moines)
Here's a bar with a patio:
■ Dos Rios
Here's a sports bar:
■ Wellman's (West Glen)
Here are two other bars to consider:
