“the food is excellent! from the chips to the tacos to the burritos, the quantity and flavors are fantastic. my favorite local taco shop!“

“Their food was very flavorful, and authentic. Got the birria quesadillas, wings, and torta. Will come back for more 🙂🙂“

“The food is delicious, and the service is excellent, they truly treat you like family from the moment you walk in. The atmosphere is vibrant, full of color, great music, and positive energy, making it a fun place to enjoy a meal with friends or family. The best part, though, is their margaritas, they’re absolutely amazing. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back.“

“This location is consistently fast, the employees are always friendly, and the inside is always neat and clean. My only complaint is that about every 5th time I order a supreme taco (and sometimes my whole order is only that one taco) they fail to make it a supreme and unfortunately I ususally don't notice until I get it home. All around a good location though.“

“10/10“

“Si buscas auténtica comida mexicana, este lugar es el indicado. 🇲🇽 Sus tacos son simplemente deliciosos, con carne jugosa y sabrosa. ¡Altamente recomendado! 🌮👍🏼“

“It's Taco Tuesday and I was craving Mexican food, but I didn't just wanna go to the type of place you think of when "Mexican" is brought up... I'm fancy, so I wanted something a bit more upscale. I did a little bit of research and wouldn't you know it... Colita came up. So here's how it went! Atmosphere/Appearance: Set south of downtown and a bit west of The Mall of America on Penn Avenue is this gem. There is no private parking lot, but plenty of street parking to leave your fly ride. But once you walk up to the restaurant you can immediately understand the message they're trying to send. Everything looks so modern, straightforward with straight lines, grey colors and light woods. There is a small outdoor section where you can dine if you get lucky enough to land a spot there. Inside carries a very similar style with a little nod to the pueblos and architecture of the southwest. The decor is minimalistic and the "loudest" thing in the room is the live plant wall seated directly behind the bar, which was super cool. Service: I can't remember who took care of us, but we had no issues whatsoever. Food/Drink: I was able to try so many different dishes and drinks here and the list is below... 🍹: Xochitl In Love 🍸: La Clandestina 🐟: Tuna Tostada 🌮: Chicken Tinga Tostada 🦪: Seared Scallops 🫓: Tlayuda 🥃: Colita Old Fashioned 🥩: Lamb Barbacoa Tacos 🫔: Duck Tamal However, my favorite things were the Lamb Barbacoa Tacos, Duck Tamal and Seared Scallops, in that order. The food here is phenomenal, the drinks are excellently crafted and things are served tapas style so you don't get too full off of just one thing! Order a whole bunch of stuff and share with the table! Value: As I mentioned earlier, I wanted upscale and the priced dddooo reflect that. Lol. This is a nice place so be prepared to spend... Like you're downtown somewhere. In conclusion, I loved this place and I will come back over and over. Check this place out the next time you're in the area!“

“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!“

“Heidi was so helpful! The food was fresh and well seasoned. Great tasting guacamole and fresh made chips! Clean inviting space! Chipotle never again!“

“Came here with our kickball team after a game and we all were happy with the last minute pick. Efficient and extremely tasty food, good happy hour deal, nice patio, and very kind staff! Will absolutely be back here! Highly recommend the Birria tostada wrap, elote, churros, and chicken verde salsa tacos!“

“WHAT A WONDERFUL PLACE! I LOVE THEIR FOOD!“

“Food was very good. I love supporting a smaller business and frankly the food was high quality. Similar vibes to chipotle. I will say the wrapper stuck to the tortilla of the burrito after a bit and I got a little paper in my bites but the food was delicious. I will be coming back.“

“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!!“

“The Pineapple Boat was Amazing! Loved the street tacos!“

“Very very good, definitely give this place a try if you haven’t already. Burritos , tacos, and tortas have all been excellent. Hot sauces (green and red) are also both great additions to the plates. The place is well-maintained, staff are welcoming.“

“this place is better than bluestone, Chipotle, qudoba, and any other burrito place combined!! 10/10 would recommend! this hidden gem is the only place I will get burritos from here on out! ******ALSO THEY HAVE BREAKFAST BURRITOS ON THE WEEKENDS*******“

“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!“

“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've been fans of this store for years. The food is excellent, and the grocery options are great!“

“Heidi was so helpful! The food was fresh and well seasoned. Great tasting guacamole and fresh made chips! Clean inviting space! Chipotle never again!“

“I love having authentic Mexican cuisine in our city. Tequila Town is a beautiful restaurant with amazing, fresh food and great margaritas. I love coming here for lunch or dinner! The servers have always been friendly and helpful and the food always fresh and satisfying. Thank you for bringing such a gem to Crystal!“

“Fresh made tacos. Super goood!! Know that they only take cash. Havent eat all day from work and the food is very fulfilling and melts in my mouth. I order the 3 tacos with the sauce (Idk what the name is)but yum and i also order quesadillas. Recommend. Maybe a bit pricey but it was good. Spend about $40 with drinks.“

“I love their street tacos and friendly service!!“

“This place is a definite hidden gem. Needed to grab a quick dinner before a movie and this place hit the spot! I got the fajita quesadilla and my partner got the taco combo! Yumm…. Definitely coming back! The portion and size was amazing! And the food was just delicious!“

“We have been to Pasa and Agave many times and love it. The service is always excellent and the vibe is cool. This time, we were disappointed in the cocktails. they didn't have their usual flavor and were frankly bland. We hope it was a one-time occurrence since we plan on going back.“

“Had lunch and our table tried multiple food options. One of the crowd favorites was chips and queso (with salsa). One of the best queso’s and salsas I’ve had. I had the walleye tacos (both blackened and breaded - prefer blackened).“

“Definitely try this place out. Our server David was great! All his recommendations were great. I got the margarita flight and the chicken tinga street tacos. delicious! the outside seating is pleasant! will be back!“

“Absolutely the best! This is, by far, the best Mexican restaurant in town. Great food, great staff, great venue. Also, did I mention great food?“

“So excited to make this a regular date night spot. Our group really enjoyed all the food we order including the fideos, tinta negra, almendrado, pincho de pollo, pescado, and so much more. Chris our server was wonderful. The Victoria beer and my mango margarita were perfect. My only critique if at all of the restaurant is for the pasta dishes to have a hair less salt (and I like my food on the saltier side so that says a lot). We can’t believe we waited this long to try it but we can’t wait to go back“

“Delicious and everything is so fresh. Best food in Richfield.“

“Delicious, fresh ingredients!! Glad I'm close to this place it is SO good! They were very accommodating to making my veggie burrito bowl vegan. Their guac and refried beans are milk and lard free. 🌿 Generous bag of fresh crunchy tortilla chips as a side. Excellent and friendly service! I had no idea this place existed until today and it did not disappoint! Large Mexican beer and tequila selection at the bar. They also have a salsa bar full of fresh salsa. Go and eat at The Taco Shop Street Tacos! You will not be disappointed. Better than Lagos and Chipotle! I now know where I'm getting gift cards for peeps from 😋.“

“Great authentic food awesome service.“

“It has been a while since coming here under the new Ownership. I am glad I chose to reinvestgate. I ordered the Sothern fried steak, which came with hash browns and toast with coffee and water. The steak and gravy was one of the best I have ever had. The hash browns were good yet could have been browned a little more. The coffee was rich and did the job. Our Server was prompt and tentative. Great attitude. The price was an expected value, especially with the Senior discount. I am already planning a return trip to try some of their South American cuisine. I recommend giving this quiet place a try.“

“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!“

“I've been here a few times and plan to go many more. The food is great, price is very reasonable, service has always been great, online ordering/drive-through process is a lazy gal dream.
Cochinita Pibil is my favorite meat here, it has amazing flavor!

Don't let the small stature of the restaurant fool you, good things come in small packages!“

“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!“

“Everything at this restaurant was delicious the guacamole was the best I’ve ever had there were four of us and each enjoyed our meal. The service was excellent look forward to coming back“

“The staff and space are always welcoming. Clean and organized with some of the most amazing food the cites has to offer.“
