Last time I had a walking taco at an ISU sporting event, the meat tasted like it may have been repurposed from the side of I-35. Also if you are looking for nightlife and have a choice between Des Moines and Ames, pick Des Moines. Collegetown/Welsh Ave in Ames is probably the way Aggieville was during prohibition. They don't even know what to call it, could you imagine someone calling Aggieville (autocorrects to adorable BTW) Moro St?
