Parking: Strip mall so plently of parking“

“The most authentic food in the area and its delicious. unfortunwtly the last couple of times they have screwed us over with the bill. last time they charged me $10.00 for an horchata. tonight I ordered a pozole $16.99 and classic plate $17.99 =34.98 plus 2.91 from taxes should of been$37.89 but they charged me $42.82. It not a lot but it simply shouldn't happen“

“Very good tacos. Super good customer service! 3.50 for any kind of taco. They have birria tacos, steak tacos, barbacoa tacos, chicken tacos. Can't wait for the summer menu to see what they have. The El pastor tacos were my favorite. Chicken tacos are made healthy , are low fat -and are tasty .i have not tried the birria tacos. They also have horchata drink and sometimes iced Tea Hisbiscus which is absolutely bomb for the summer. This is my new place to go for tacos. Add some beans and sour cream to the your order and it's a wrap! Also the do have FRESH Elote, which is corn on a stick ( like the state fair) with crema, spices, and cheese coated on it throughout. This place beats the Mexican places I went to on the West Side which were using frozen damaged corn.

Dietary restrictions: The way they do the chickentacos is very healthy and low fat from what I seen and tasted.“

“Their menu is the most diverse of Stillwater's Mexican restaurants. Friendly staff and Large portions. Their Refried beans are more flavorful than most I've tried.

Parking: Easy to find a handful of vegetarian options. Has corn and wheat tortillas interchangeable. Excellent tamales with mole.“

“Good food and fast service, though the lady at the counter wasn’t very friendly. The location is clean, but I wish the lettuce was fresher—it tastes like it came straight from a bag, which gives it a plastic-like flavor. Overall, a solid spot, but the lettuce could use some improvement.”“

“I highly recommend this restaurant! They have fast and efficient service with incredibly delicious food. When I go to the mall I already know that I’m going to head here for some huaraches, taco tortas, and fresh watermelon water. I definitely recommend this place to everyone who likes great food!“

Stopped by this evening and the drive through window was staffed by a pleasant young man whose level of customer service was totally textbook style.

Ryan Winager, you probably don't realize it. Your pleasant demeanor made our day as you offered us water while we waited for our order. The service with a genuine smile on your face totally exceeded our expectations. Thank you!“

“food is good, the store i had my experience in Shoreview was very clean and organized. I do not care for the chips, they are a little plain in my opinion, but everything else is good! hoping for location in Woodbury or Cottage Grove area.“

“I had some issues with the app and all of the employees there did what they could to help make sure I was able to order my food! I felt bad for troubling them, especially since closing was soon but all the employees were really polite and patient! This is definitely the better location of chipotle in maplewood.“

“One of the better taco John's around. They're pretty well managed and somewhat respectful. Little bit lazy... I submitted my mobile order to the kitchen 5 minutes before arriving and when I arrived they had no other customers and didn't start my order until I walked in and asked for it.“

“Ricardo is quite possibly the nicest person I’ve experienced in a customer service role. Always in a great mood, friendly and willing to go the extra mile for everyone. We stop in frequently and always have a great experience when he’s in the store ?? “

“This was my servings time eating the Maplewood location and the first time didn't go so well but this time it was GREAT!!! The young lady at the dive thru window was very very kind polite and understanding and the food was nice and hot and fresh. This location has redeemed they self
Definitely will go back.
