39 Best Mexican Restaurants near Ham Lake

“Wonderful food and very filling. I will never step into a taco bell again!“

“Great service, delicious food, wonderful staff. Couldn’t ask for a better Mexican restaurant so close to homex’“

“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.“

“This place is a hidden gem in the suburbs.. Great food and friendly staff. Erica was my host on a random taco Tuesday. Great specials offered daily too.“

“10/10 Best place in town for tacos.“

“food was amazing, staff was amazing“

“I'm from Central America, and i can promise you this is the closest to home I have been in a little while, everything is soo good. thank you Tasty Taco“

“El mejor heladoooo muy cremosito!! Pedí una sandía Loka y wow la mejor muy bien preparada. 💯 recomendado“

“This new place is also a new favorite for me. I was a little pricier than (what I considered) similar places, but the food was definitely a step or two above so it still felt like a value. From the first bite of my first super taco (al pastor) my first time, I knew I found my new go-to.“

“Excellent service, got our food really fast! Generous portions and delicious.“

“I live about an hour away and the drive is well worth it. The Carne asada burrito bowl is the bomb 💣 The hot sauce is hot like it should be. Mr.Taco is by far the best Mexican food I've had in this state.“

“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 picture is from a pick up order cause I was craving it the other day, but we usually dine in! The staff is always SO friendly no matter who we have had! I suggest the Texas fajitas, birria tacos or street tacos! I’m sure it’s all good - those are just my go tos. Bonus points for a good marg“

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

“Delicious!! Authentic Mexican food“

“They have the best queso I've ever had. If they sold frozen burritos I would definitely buy them.“

“We love Lettie. Have been going to a El Toro for years. There have been times we’ve had other servers but they don’t come close to Lettie. She is an asset to your restaurant. If she ever leaves, so will we! Jim and Diane Sawyer“

“An outstanding dining experience from start to finish. The service was flawless and exemplary, set against a beautifully cozy atmosphere. Our waiters graciously handled every question and request we had. They were welcoming, remarkably attentive, kind, and extremely professional throughout our entire meal, making the evening feel truly special. This has easily become our new go-to spot for date night. Thank you El Norte 🙂!“

“Catered a 75th Birthday through the Andover location. The food was delicious and presented beautifully. The service was excellent (Thank You, Luis) and the room rental was both well put together and affordable. What a great place to gather with food you KNOW will be excellent and the service as if you were part of the family. 5 Stars Acapulco, Andover!“

“My husband and I stopped by to grab a quick bite, and the food was delicious & the prices were INCREDIBLE!! not to mention they have the best Horchata water I’ve tasted from all Mexican restaurants 🙊 AND they have a variety of Salsas! 10/10“

“We had great service and awesome food! THE best flan ever“

“The dishes were spotless. 🌪️“

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

“I tried Que Taco for the first time..the location in New Hope off of Bass Lake Road. The handmade tortillas are excellent and the Pozole as one of the best I have had...very authentic. It was so good we went back the next day to try the chilaquiles and machete. All very good!“

“This is my favorite restaurant. Get the pupusas with consomme as a recommendation but I get something different every time and I love it all. my wife enjoys the flautas the most.“

“Love love love!! The food and service are top-notch 👌“

“Great food great atmosphere the new owners have changed this place around!“

“Great tasting food, great quality/quantity. A lot of extra sauces/ salsas. A hidden gem. Also Horchata available (and other drinks).“

“Tried this for the first time in June while shopping in the area and have been back at least 4 times since - it’s SO AMAZING! Love the quesabirria tacos with the consommé. Very fresh toppings/meat - everything tastes homemade with love. The aguas frescas are to die for, very refreshing and good flavors to choose from (wish they had horchata de fresa more often - that one is my FAVORITE). They have outdoor seating too in the Lowe’s parking lot and they give you a pager so you can wait for your food in your car too if you’d like. Heard this is their second year being here and hope they remain a staple in the community for many more years to come (or even hopefully open a restaurant their food is legit the most authentic I have found in the area). ¡Gracias a todos de El Guero!“

“Got asada n pastor tacos as well as hot dog, y not. Tacos loaded with good amount of meat but steak bit dry. Pastor def wins. Got spiciest sauce (orange habanero?) But wish was spicier, kinda tame. Hot dog (prob pork/chicken) was sad, pass next time. Would def order tacos again.“

“I’ll start by saying this Chipotle location has only been open for a couple of weeks, and you could definitely tell there were still some people training and learning the ropes. That being said, I thought they did an excellent job.

The process was smooth and quick, and everyone seemed to be working together really well, especially considering they’re a brand-new staff.

And let’s talk about the burritos. 😂 They were FULL. Like, how on earth are you going to fold that thing? full. Honestly, I think properly folding an overstuffed Chipotle burrito is a feat in itself, and these guys somehow pulled it off. If my burrito is difficult to close because you gave me too much food, I consider that a pretty good problem to have.

We decided to sit outside because when Minnesota hands you one of the last beautiful days of the year, you take it. The only real negative was that all of the outdoor tables were dirty. There were also a couple of dirty tables inside. Normally I would knock a place a little more for that, but I’m giving them some grace here. They’re brand new, people are training, and they were busy trying to keep everything moving.

Plus, I have a hard time putting all of that on the restaurant. Somewhere along the way, some people apparently forgot the very complicated concept of picking up after themselves. 🤦‍♀️ A restaurant can clean tables, but customers can also manage to get their own garbage into a garbage can. We can all dream.

Overall, I had a really good first experience at the new Chipotle on Lake Drive. The staff was friendly, the line moved quickly, the portions were generous, and considering how new the location is, I thought they were doing a great job.

I’ll absolutely be back. 🌯“

“Really good food and service, dont listen to other people they complain about the wait because there to fried from getting what they want as soon as possible,be like a decent being and wait not everything can be brought to you on demand, and you have to ask for taco sauce, stop being privileged. Make your own food if you will just complain, dont be lazy“

“went at 1 am, namedmyself Kratos and jt was ? yep, i got lots of saws ? i meant saws ? i meant sauce, yeah, eat a taki moss? nope sir ee, not at all! THERE ARE BUGS IN YOUR SKIN

Wheelchair accessibility: definetly can fit a chairwherl thru via drive in window“

“Food was at or above typical Taco Bell standards. Service was fine, but note that if you don't use the app or a kiosk, that you may need to wait a few minutes before you can submit your order since they do not staff the single order taking register they have. We had to order thus way since we had a free combo card that can only be redeemed by a human.

The lobby/eating area was clean except a coupke tables. But pretty good given it was lunch rush.

All in all, decent experience and better than most other Taco Bell restaurants I have been to.“

“Well in fast food restaurant's in general are the serving the quick the taste and the texture. For each individual its different. Now for me the hard shell taco and the seasoned beef they use in all the products they have is just like my mom's God bless her soul and may she rest in peace. So it brings me to say they have the taste of the quick Mexican mixture of flavors and spice mixed wrapped put together to give you the most Mexican flavor fast food concept can give. Don't forget get its not a 3 course or 5 course meal. Where it is savored and cooked with precision to blend the grand flavors of Mexican food. So over all it's a treat, satisfying treat. The only down for me is the hard shell taco, which i love to the max, is always soggy on the bottom because they have the ground beef with its sauce straight on the shells bottom, the shell will suck up the liquid and it breaks apart from the bottom. My mother taught me to always put the lettuce first then beef cheese tomatoes and last sour cream to your liking. Try it that way and you will see your hard shell taco will stay intact and gets home in one piece and you will still enjoy the crunch.“

“First time coming here (drive-through). I ordered on the app minutes before pulling up, and the worker was ultra polite and informative about the food prep. It caught me off guard, as you don't see that type of service anymore. I would gladly come back if this is the regular service they provide.“
