Supporting local restaurants is one of the best parts about being involved in communities across Central Iowa. Places like Hacienda Vieja in Grimes are exactly why small businesses continue to make such a big impact on local neighborhoods. From family dinners after baseball games to grabbing tacos and margaritas with friends on a Friday night, restaurants like this help create the community vibe that makes Grimes one of the fastest-growing areas in the Des Moines metro.

Supporting Great Local Small Businesses in Grimes, Iowa

One of the best things about living and working in the Des Moines metro is discovering incredible local businesses that truly care about the community they serve. If you’ve spent any time in Grimes, there’s a good chance you’ve heard people talking about Hacienda Vieja — and for good reason.

Located right in the heart of Grimes, Hacienda Vieja has become a favorite local spot for families, date nights, celebrations, and anyone craving great Mexican food with a welcoming atmosphere. From their famous margaritas to generous portions and friendly service, it’s easy to see why this place continues to build a loyal following throughout the metro.

As someone involved in real estate across Central Iowa with Attain RE, I always believe supporting local businesses matters. Strong small businesses help strengthen neighborhoods, create jobs, and give communities their personality. When people move to Grimes, they are not just buying a home — they are buying into a lifestyle and a community filled with local restaurants, shops, parks, and people who care.

Grimes continues to grow rapidly, but businesses like Hacienda Vieja help maintain that hometown feel that so many residents love. Whether you’re stopping in after a long workday, meeting friends for dinner, or supporting local on the weekend, these are the places that make communities special.

If you haven’t checked out Hacienda Vieja yet, add it to your list the next time you’re in Grimes. Supporting local businesses helps keep our communities thriving, and it’s always great seeing small businesses succeed here in Iowa.
