“Arizona Tacos is a Minnesota treasure. The food here is consistently delicious and everything on their menu is fantastic. I especially love the employees. They always seem happy to be there, and it shows in the food. If you’re in the mood for Mexican food, it’s definitely worth the journey!“

“I am a lover of tacos, and I loved these El Jefe's Tacos. The tortilla in the way it is prepared for heating and cooking the meats plus the rooms and the presentation, only when I saw them I knew they were going to sing to me. And after the first bite I confirm that they are excellent tacos, and so is the service. ??“

“Chips and salsa: it’s fun to try all of the different flavors, however, you’d probably be best ordering a flight of three instead. For the most part, they weren’t particularly flavorful although the avocado jalapeño had a nice kickBurrito: excellent! although, it would be nice if it were printed on the menu that it comes with various protein / veggie options. This was a bit ambiguous up until we orderedTacos: our favorite was the shrimp taco, however, both the asada and al pastor were enjoyed. The asada was slightly on the saltier side however with some pieces cooked inconsistently.Puerco adobado: very tender however quite salty on its own. When eaten with the rice and salsa the dish balanced out nicely. It would’ve been nice to have a bit of a stronger seasoningElote: beautiful presentation and well-enjoyedChurros: our favorite part of the meal by far. While the chocolate abuelita is pretty standard, the churros came out fresh and were absolutely delicious.The service was extremely kind and accommodating. We placed our churros order 10 min after the kitchen had closed and they were still willing to serve us.El Sazon was a great restaurant to try and we definitely plan on returning!Vegetarian options: Many dishes are customizable to be vegetarian!“

“Amazing neighborhood hidden gem! Met the owner Javier, such an amazing man - the restaurants food was outstanding, service was outstanding! I definitely recommend the steak tacos w/avocado salsa -so good!Such friendly and nice staff- I accidentally left a small bag when leaving (there’s so much food and such huge portions couldn’t carry it all) and they literally ran out the door and all the way down the parking lot to catch me before leaving- and then they were so kind and polite about it while making sure I had everything! Completely recommend 10/10 !! If you go definitely meet the owner- you won’t be disappointed, one of the kindest and sweetest people I’ve met since moving back to Minneapolis!Our family will be back very often!“

“Excellent food!! I am crazy about this place. I tell everyone to try it instead of the more well-known Mexican place next door. I've tried the burritos, tacos and tostadas and every ingredient has always been super fresh. The burritos are huge and I love how they grill the outside well so the tortilla is crisp.“

“Excellent burger and fries with delicious house sauces. The jalapeno burger and mushroom Swiss burgers slap. The burgers are salty so get yourself a beverage to round things out.The house sauces (BBQ and standard house) are real nice. The fries are crispy and satisfying.“

“Had myself a fantastic late lunch atLa Bodega, the tacos and soup were incredible service was excellent and courteous. A little pricey but well worth it. I absolutely would recommend this place to anybody that likes good food!!Will be returning ?“

“Oh my gosh! This is absolutely my favorite Taco place. I ordered the Quesabirria and it was to die for! The quality was high and the price was reasonable. The juice to dip it in was delicious as well.Service was quick, and there was no wait to order. Plenty of seating and it certainly looks like an authentic Mexican restaurant - good food with mediocre decor. I will absolutely be back! Weekly?! We’ll see!“

“Seriously delicious food, always fast, drinks are always great, the owner and servers are always super friendly, and the prices are not bad. I highly recommend this place!Parking: Always parking available on the street or in the back parking lot.Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp entrance and openess within restaurant for easy accessibility with table and chair seating to accommodate a wheelchair.“

“This is a neat dive with really decent food.It is in a great location just across from the ridgedale mall.I have been hear a couple of times and on my most recent visit i ordered a elote, something that I was really happy was on the menu, I also ate a tamale. The people that I went with ordered a burrito and a torta/ sandwich is was a generous size and I think next time I am going to try a torta for myself.There are chips and an exuberant amount of salsas to try while waiting for your order, this was my favorite part of this outing.There is a good amount of seating.I am glad that this restaurant is doing well post-pandemic the food they provide is an attribute to society.This is a nice place to eat a meal at, it was a good family environment and a good place to take kids. This is a nice place to come, don't plan on making a meal out of a single tamale but it's a good vibe to kick back. I would stop here again if I was in this neighborhood.“

“This taco truck has delicious food! The tacos, burritos, elote, quesadillas and rice and beans are all so yummy! I'm sure everything on the menu is great! I usually call ahead and pick up our food. The staff is always so nice and friendly! I wish I lived closer!“

“Loved it!! Got the fried avocado tacos, and almost started crying with how good they tasted.Only complaint was it was very loud in the dining room, making it hard to talk at times, but overall loved the atmosphere and wait staff were very kind and helpful!“

“Probably won’t be my new essential go to taco place, but I can easily see myself coming back in the future, and trying more items on the menu. The Taco Combo was a good value, with three street style tacos and multiple meat selections. Although the chicken tacos were a bit dry the rice and beans were flavorful and the meal all together was well balanced. Located within the convenience store this location is great for a quick pick up, but also has four tables available if you would like to take a seat.“

“This food truck has great food and conveniently located off 42nd Street. There always busy, you can pre-order and pickup as well. Ambiance 4/5 Food truck is conveniently located outside right off 42nd. It's right next to a liquor store if your so inclined to grab drinks and food to go! I always felt safe, never any sketchy business happening. Outside of the traffic, it's a pretty quiet area even in the Summer. Food 5/5 Have lots of options. I ordered the melons, Elotes, drink, and rice and beans. Cost 5/5 Altogether I paid about $15 Service 5/5 Always friendly and helpful when providing a drink carrier. I was informed they take preorders which was nice to know! Overall 5/5 great place if your in the area and on the go!“

“This review is about an online delivery order, catering order, and restaurant. I first discovered this restaurant because I was craving Mexican food, and it had really good reviews. I ordered a variety of tacos for delivery, and they were delicious! It reminded me of my abuelita's (grandma's) food when I was a child. Authentic tacos are not big, so order at least 3 or 4. Regarding the catering order, we decided to host a Super Bowl party and didn't feel like cooking for 30 people. The first thing to come to my mind was Tacos el Kevin. I called the restaurant and spoke to Armando. Armando and I collaborated on the order, and we decided to have chicken, steak, and pork tacos. The order included the taco meat, salsa in individual containers, grilled onions, cilantro, grilled jalapeno peppers, pinto beans, rice, and fresh corn tortillas I went to pick up the order a few hours before the game, and Armando made sure everything was ready to go. Please note that they were kind enough to help load the food in the SUV. At the party, everyone loved the food and asked where the tacos came from. I happily said, "Tacos el Kevin!" This last part is about the restaurant. There are approximately 7/8 parking spots, so plan on using off-street parking or an Uber. The restaurant is bigger than you think on the inside and has a small market. The food and items from the market are paid for at the front counter. The staff is very friendly so don't be afraid to order some food and find an open table. Bravo to Tacos el Kevin!“

“I am always on the lookout for good Tacos. Pinged my buddy for any good ones he knew and he sent me to El Tacotorro and I was not disappointed! I got three tacos, Pastor, Pollo, y Carne all fresh, hot and delicious. Que bueno El Tacotorro, que bueno!“

“Amazing burrito bowls!!!! Food was amazing and staff was so friendly and accommodating. I attended with a group of four girls, and there was a homeless person outside who was slightly bothering us. The staff made sure to stay outside and make sure everything was ok! They offered great menu recommendations as well. I’m not from the area but would be come back here 100%!!! Five stars. ?“

“okay so overall the food was delicious. i got the burrito and it was solid. no real complaints there. the yuca fries also delicious and not too greasy, perfectly crispy. the guac was so fresh and so were the salsas. my only complaint was the guava margarita. mind you i’ve been craving a guava margarita for MONTHS now so my hopes were high. but this one really missed the mark for me. it wasn’t guava-y enough and generally just tasted kinda watered down. (though you can note in my photo that i did drink all of it so it wasn’t unbearable—but truly who can say no to a margarita) it just needed something to take it up a notch.overall a great choice and they were super accommodating for our large group and the service was so speedy.“

“I go here regularly and its very good, but sometimes takes a little while (which is fine by me). I've really enjoyed their chilaquiles (both red and green are great) and the quesadilla de masa (big handmade masa tortilla stuffed with the goods). Cecina is probably my favorite filling/protein here. For tacos I prefer their truck but if I get em here the asada or al pastor are solid and dependable. al pastor is not cooked on trompo (not much in MN is) but still tasty. Definitely my favorite mexican food south of Lake Street (their og Lake and Blazedale truck is the best for tacos).“

“The prices here are very good and they have a good variety of options available (including ground beef tacos which most taco trucks don't have). The 3 meats I tried (steak, chorizo and ground beef) all tasted good but in my opinion, there are better options available nearby in the taste department. The super hot sauce (pictured) is amazing though. I love spicy food and this really made the tacos taste great. If the meat was better, it would have been perfect!I got 5 tacos and 2 Mexican Cokes for $21 so pretty cheap compared to other places.“

“Service is always fantastic and the bartenders take great care of us each time we visit! Food always comes out within minutes, the fastest I’ve ever experienced!Dietary restrictions: Services always accommodate my gluten and dairy allergy!“

“We got the fish and birria tacos with a side of beans. 10/10 recommend! Food was delicious and prepared fresh. The only downside to the restaurant is the limited seating - because they are so popular you might need to wait for a table like we did. However, it’s totally worth it. We loved the food and can’t wait to visit again next time we’re in town. Friendly staff, too! ?♥️Dietary restrictions: They offer fish/shrimp tacos here that are SO GOOD for folks who do not eat meat. Yum!!“

“Great food served quickly. Lively atmosphere with an eclectic mix of customers. Beer available but still family-friendly. I had the chile rellenos platter and my son had chicken enchiladas, and both were great. Convenient to the Willow Creek Cinema. We'll be back.“
