50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Arden Hills

“Everything was fresh! You can really tell the difference in the hand pressed Flour tortillas. Friendly service and very clean. Huge portion and so delicious 😋“

“Everything we’ve had from Nixta is just so good. More than once we’ve said “this is the best ______ I’ve ever had” about various menu items. Cant recommend enough.“

“The birria ramen is in a class by itself. I dined at the Uptown location and the food was excellent and the service was great. Even with a language barrier we worked it out! Good service is at an all-time low so it was refreshing to be treated w such kindness and consideration. Thanks and we'll be back!“

“So I have drove by here at least 100 times in the last 2-3 months. I have wondered, I have mentioned it to the boyfriend, and I always kept going cause they looked so busy. Tonight we stopped!! It was so worth it, I thought I had ordered something other than what I got, (I did order what I got) but they offered to get me what I wanted to order, I'm so glad I said no I will eat this, (the Carnita Torta) it was amazing and so filling. I can not wait to try something else. Let me mention as well it was within an hour of closing and we were welcomed in as if they just opened. (That is so impressive these days.) Everyone was so kind and welcoming. The price was right, the food was amazing, and the service was so welcoming I felt like I had been going there for years, come to find out they just opened this past May 2022. Panchos really reminded me of a place I went to while in Cabo... Keep up the great work. We will be back sooner than you think cause they are open for breakfast too. If you haven't tried Panchos yet, stop what you are doing and go! Go for Breackfast, lunch or dinner! You will not be disappointed.“

“The food was incredible and our server Emily was amazing! Do not skip the guac!“

“10/10 Best place in town for tacos.“

“Wow! That brunch buffet was fantastic! I'm from Texas and this was pretty close to the Mexican food I'm used to. Definitely going again and I'm bringing friends!“

“An out of the way gem tucked into the corner of a tiny strip mall in Spring Lake Park, Mn. Very authentic decor with all the bells and whistles of a true Mexican restaurant. I've only had their taco plate because it's what i love. The fresh vegetables garnishes, the rice and refried beans make for an eye pleasing and taste bud loving delicious delight. Many locals find their way there at lunch time so it's a happy buzzing crowd that loves their great dishes. I'm glad I found this treasure and will indeed be back for more!“

“Service can be spotty. Our server forgot our app sampler and bought it at the end. Everyone makes mistakes but they should have comped part of the cost of the late apps without being asked. We were literally done eating the entree and had to box it.“

“when I'm too busy to cook, I swing by and order up my favorite veggie burrito. Fast, fresh and delish.. every...time!“

“Everything I have tried has been amazing. Also the marks are so good! The new shimp option is very good!“

“My sister and I had lunch. We had the greatest waiter. Jordan. He was fun, attentive and had great drink and food suggestions. Even though he was by himself and ended up getting super busy, his warm personality still shined through. Great variety of foods on the menu“

“Excellent food and service! We ordered torta de pollo (chicken sandwich) and veggie burrito, both were delicious. Javier, the boss (el patron), took the time to chat with us. He told us they have a variety of original house salsas with different degrees of heat to choose from, we tried 2 and they were both very tasty. Everything had a true Mexican flavor! Very clean, it was full of Mexican and Latinamerican customers on a Sunday afternoon. It is a small restaurant inside a supermaket with a great team and genuine Mexican food. They have special discounts every weekday. I can’t wait to come back!“

“this is the best Mexican food bar none. This place should have a 5⭐🌟⭐🌟⭐rating for their food & great service they provide“

“very good, authentic. very friendly service! #tacos #burritos #goodfood #localeats“

“That was the best Chimichanga I've ever had.“

“We had an amazing dinner experience at Centro last night. Our group of 3 were greeted and sat at our table right away. Our server Sarah J. was very attentative. All the dishes were fresh and flavorful! The atmosphere was fun and inviting with the colorful decor and music playlist. We will definitely be back to try other menu items.“

“Love the place great tacos,one of the best!!!“

“Finding a late-night taco option for our wedding was way harder than I expected! After months of calls and emails with tons of taco trucks and taco bars, we finally found Lulu’s Salsa—and they ended up being an amazing choice!

I have Celiac disease, so finding someone who could accommodate gluten-free needs was a top priority. Lulu’s Salsa worked with us to make sure everything was safe for me to eat, which I so appreciated.

I stopped by one day after work to try some tacos, planning to just grab one chicken and one beef taco to share with my husband. While I was there, I saw a birria quesadilla on the menu and decided to grab that too. Lulu’s Salsa actually covered the tacos as a trial, which was such a thoughtful gesture! We also got to sample all their salsas—everything was absolutely delicious. Truly 10/10 tacos!

For our wedding, we went with ground beef and shredded chicken tacos (with all the toppings included), plus trays of Spanish rice, chips, and guacamole. We ordered 150 tacos total, and the pricing was incredible—all of that for under $700! Every other vendor we got quotes from was between $900 and $1,600, so this was such a win for us.

The only hiccup was on the day-of timing. We had planned for tacos to arrive at 9:00 p.m., but they didn’t get there until around 9:36 p.m. I had guests asking where the tacos were, and I ended up having to step off the dance floor to call and check in. It all worked out in the end, but I’d recommend they ask for a “day-of contact” for future weddings so someone other than the bride or groom can handle those details.

Overall, though, Lulu’s Salsa was wonderful to work with, and their food was outstanding. If you’re looking for delicious, affordable tacos for your event—especially if you have dietary restrictions—they’re 100% worth checking out! 🌮💃“

“Went here on the 4th of July for dinner,one word...AMAZING!!!“

“My favorite restaurant for authentic Mexican food and margaritas“

“Thank you for the burrito bowl at the backpack event at cedar field! So good!!! ♥“

“Family was attending a get together at Minneapolis Axe Throwing and afterwards decided to grab a bite. Decided to stop by Sonora Mexican Kitchen just happenstance. WOW. I live for Mexican food and honestly this food was really top of the list. Everyone at the table indicated that the food was the best tasting they have had for a Mexican fare. Not just saying this. I had to think when I’ve had better, and couldn’t really come up with an answer. It was a long drive for us, but I’m going to have to make this trip again. Well done Sonora Mexican Kitchen and Bar! Well done!“

“We were visiting from St Louis & stopped in one afternoon for a drink & guacamole. The guac is homemade; SO delicious & with homemade chips! We decided to return the next day for lunch. This time we had the tacos. Again, plentiful meat with the most delicious tasteful toppings. We were fortunate to have the same waiter, Tony. He’s definitely an asset to the restaurant. Very attentive & personable. Highly recommend this gem in St Paul!!“

“Wow...what an IMPRESSIVE dining experience! It's been a long time since we have enjoyed a night out so much. Food 'Molcajete Mexicano' was packed full of flavor and Jorge (bar tender) who waited on us was EXCEPTIONALLY kind; made us feel more like family vs patrons. And the margarita 'Texas Jumbo' was super delish! All of the staff we encountered were incredibly gracious and prompt to respond to any request. We will be back! Bravo El Loro!“

“Highly recommend this hidden gem for a great deal on the BEST tacos al pastor in Minneapolis. Nachos al pastor is a particularly generous portion (I had already eaten half of it in the photo) and perfect to share. Chips are made fresh in house. Sit and enjoy your meal at the counter, then get back to your day. It's worth the trip.“

“Awesome food, service was great and they were slammed crazy style. Only problem is its not the best part of town for tourists so I'd be mindful of that, I was also the sore thumb standing out in the area ha. Would definitely recommend, great food!“

“Super recomendado excelente servicio y todo bien rico!!!“

“Wonderful little place for delicious Mexican food. My go to is the dinkytown burrito with birria and they DO NOT SKIMP on the food! (Unlike chipotle) I’m a big boy and can eat a lot but this had me full halfway through. Service was good too and the worker was very quick with my order!“

“these tacos so good my roommate brought me some they’re so good“

“they were super sweet and the food came super fast! The food was pretty good but a bit expensive! Family friendly and good drink options as well!“

“#1 Mexican restaurant, 550% delicious, prices are always a deal, with an owner with a beautiful soul! Thank you for feeding me for over 25 years.“

“Nacho del gordo was amazing and the margarita“

“Delicious. The tacos were very fresh and juicy, I added the red sauce and it was so good. Amazing customer service, the lady that took my order was so sweet. Overall 5 stars, great food.“

“My friends and I discovered this hidden gem while on the hunt for the best, most authentic street tacos in town, we’ve been hooked ever since. Every visit keeps us coming back for more. The food is consistently outstanding, the service is warm and attentive, and the experience never disappoints. Easily the best tacos we’ve ever had. I recommend this spot to everyone!“

“Loaded with meat. Generous with the hot sauce!“

“Great food and atmosphere!“

“they were super sweet and the food came super fast! The food was pretty good but a bit expensive! Family friendly and good drink options as well!“

“Best Margaritas - Very Friendly - Fabulous Food. We LOVE This Place!“

“I truly think this is the best Mexican food in Anoka County! Both locations! Ham Lake location is inside of the BP gas station right off of Constance and 65, you can eat inside or get takeout. They have their own app which makes online ordering a breeze! I feel like this is the best hidden food gem around, I’m assuming people either don’t realize it’s there or are turned off because it’s located inside of a BP. But it’s actually an adorable set up inside the BP and not weird at all :) I give this place 5/5 stars! 🌯🌮💕“

“Yo pedi comida hace unos momentos y tido estaba delicioso felicidades al chef que delicia de menudo y la quesadilla mi hijo le encanto sigan asi 😃“

“I wish it was a star point system to review. I usually love britos burrito. The location on Nicollet is really convenient for me. I would probably give it three stars. I always ask for one scoop of rice and they always give me extra. I ask for a little bit of corn and they put a heaping scoop on the one thing that really frustrates me is that when I ask for extra cheese, they put a pinch on and if I ask for more, they get angry and tell me that I’m going to have to pay for it. The service leaves a lot to be desired, but the pricing is good, which is why it is three stars and not five.“

“This restaurant was great. The staff are very efficient and extremely friendly. The food is delicious and the ice cream is amazing. There's so many selections! It's a really fun atmosphere.“

“The almuerzos from Homi are delicious!“

“Delicious burritos and chips. the Pico is great as well.“

“El mejor lugar para comer comida Mexicana. 100% recomendable.“

“best burrito in Minnesota, hands down. ive been to just about every hole in the wall restaurant and taco trucks and this one is the best tasting and sized burrito I've ever had!“

“Very good food in st.francis! I’m usually picky with Mexican food and they were so good.defiantly authentic and what I’ve been looking for!“

“Love this place! I always have a shredded beef dish of some sort. I know it's homemade as a couple of times I have found a bay leaf inside my burrito or taco. Good thing I always add a bit of salsa to my stuff and check. I love sitting at the bar and trying the 3 different salsas that are available as a help yourself buffet style along with delicious chips. Love the margaritas but now I am spoiled, I tried one with Milagro silver tequila on the rocks. It is excellent! The Columbia Heights locale is my favorite, and I have tried each of the others! I have yet to try the patio in the summertime, so I can't tell you about it. The stained glass windows are amazing! Busy bustling place! I love it! And the staff is excellent! If I want to change an option on the menu, the staff is very accommodating. I would give this place 5 stars! I always take family and friends to La Casita Mexican Restaurant - Columbia Heights, MN when they come to visit!“
