“I would not consider myself a "foodie" but i do have a restaurant bucket list, i started seeing posts for a new taco spot in mankato & i had to go, well cuz its tacos 😆!! Thankfully the boys are always down for my lil adventures....lets be honest though i had them at the word tacos for this one 😆!! I rarely do food/restaurant reviews but i am tonight!! We tried Tako Kato & i give it a 10!! That may be partial to the best dates ever but.....its super cute, small & quaint. They do have a dine in option & the esthetic is super cozy & fun!! The boys both did the hot cheeto burritos made to their likings & i did the maverick burrito with the restaurant recommendations both twists on american & authentic mexican food. Food was hot, fresh & delicious!! Fries are even a choice as a side, which parker opted for & they were better than alot of burger joints, D did the chips & sauce & i did the rice....all very good!! The staff super friendly we were checked on by the waiters & the cooks! & they even offered a fun family picture to add to their polariod wall, making our visit a personable & fun family night, even though i wouldnt say its the traditional family sit in restaurant. Very authentic with a flare for a small little spot!! Needless to say a fun night with my boys!!“

Taco Bell Express Mexican • $
450 Ellis Ave, Mankato

“Taco Bell has been a favorite of mine for over 45 years when we used to live in California. My husband loved their Bellburgers and I would always have a bean tostada and we would get a cup of refried beans & cheese for our 2-yr.-old. Nowadays I love the Crunchwrap Supreme. It's so handy to eat and not messy like most tacos.“

They were insanely nice about the whole situation and even gave me a free churro and mini donut bites. I wish I would have gotten the name of the lady and man that were exceptionally kind. Thank you guys!!“

“It was a Madhouse when I went in there yesterday…line was to the door they seemed a little short staffed and they were out of chicken. The staff though🤌🏾 they dealt with irate customers with the best attitudes! remained polite, worked together, communicating with each other to keep things running! I’ve been in the service/hospitality industry for 20 years and you don’t see this a lot anymore. BIG props to the management and the team that was there last night! Especially the young ladies that were working the line and the young man at the register! And my food was good!“
