20 Best Mexican Restaurants near Lake Elmo

“Ordered this through Door Dash. Wow. Amazing! My nephew and I both are obsessed now. We split the birria tacos. He also had a steak taco. I had a carnitas taco. He got guac and chips. All delicious. The sauces were great. Ordering again asap!“

“This has become my favorite coffee shop. Run by a wonderful family. Excellent coffee and other beverages. The spicy Mexican hot chocolate is terrific. I also enjoy the latte and the cappuccino. Baked goods are divine - I especially love the oat bread and the banana bread. Although I have not sampled yet there are also breakfast and lunch items that I can see are popular. Compact seating area that is comfortable and the noise level moderate.“

“Colleen was a great server. We felt the ease of accommodation at some of our requests. The food choices here keep you wanting to come back and try other things. And they also have some considerably healthy options as well. I left full but not feeling fully "greased" out by an overuse of oils and fats.“

“We've been here for 7+ years since leaving CA. This place made it feel like we were back in Cali. We got a few tacos, pupusas and nachos.First off, their nachos can be for 2!Meat was well prepared and cooked.And their orange hot sauce can be purchased to take home in an 8oz container.Definitely coming back! So glad we found this gem.“

“Delicious. Large portions, enough for two meals.“

“GREAT food Nice people!!! Mmmm...“

“Loved it, owner and staff are amazing“

“I loved it, the place is very nice and also the service was very good and the food, without a doubt, was delicious ? the only exception was the girl who took us to the table, I think she was not in a good mood, but the truth is that she Everything else was great and I would definitely go again.“

“This restaurant is such a hidden gem in White Bear Lake. Staff is attentive, friendly, and hard working. The food was great, and they accommodated our large group wonderfully, in such short notice. Support your local business, you won't be disappointed!“

“Fabulous fresh produce, grilled meats, and crispy shells! The price is a little high, but I greatly appreciate that I get a healthy bowl or basket of food versus everything being deep-fried at nearly every other Mexican restaurant! My favorites is the spicy pork in a burrito bowl or crispy taco. Get a large container of guacamole for your meal -- so delish!They have ample seating in the back. The few booths have hardwood bench seats, but the tables have cushioned chairs, which my sensitive back appreciates.We arrived around 5pm and were able to place our order within 5 minutes; however, a line quickly formed out the door behind us. Arrive early, if possible!“

“Freaking delicious! Very friendly staff, timely“

“The hard shell tacos were crunchy and were not soggy on the bottom from grease. I also had the Mexican pizza, which was also crunchy. It has been a long time since I was at a Taco Bell, and I found it was a whole lot less greasy. I really enjoyed my “

“Stopped in with my wife because we happened to be in Stillwater at dinner time. We started with margueritas, which were excellent, a perfect balance of citrus, alcohol, and salt. We also ordered tortilla chips with tomatillo guacamole. The guacamole was superior—fresh and chunky and garnished with cilantro and radish. The chips were very crisp. I had the pork asado tacos. They were spicy, but so delicious, among the best I've ever had anywhere. The wait staff were attentive and pleasant, and the ambience was casual and welcoming.“

“Same excellent food as Red Luna Taco Factory and their late location, Casa Lupita. Great addition to downtown Mahtomedi’s dining and patio options“

“Amazing food and service couldn’t get enough of the tacos and the Mexican street corn was AMAZING! Service was also good, I was brought a water as soon as I sat down. I loved the music and furniture, very good place would eat here again and again :)“

“In general everyone in the group enjoyed the beer selection, appetizers, and entrees. It should be noted that the fajita to tortilla ratio is really off and when you ask for more tortillas you get fewer and fewer each request. Tortillas aren't expensive my friends, lay them on me!“

“We came in late on a Friday and the staff were all very friendly and kind. They seated us quickly and took our orders fast and efficient. Our server Logan was top notch. He took some time to talk with us and make our night memorable. Food was great and exactly what we were looking forward to. Highly recommend!“

“Absolutely delicious food!“

“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.“

“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!“
