El Taco Riendo Express is a hidden gem tucked into the Anthony Center in North Minneapolis. From the moment you walk in, the place feels straightforward and no-frills, but what it lacks in ambiance, it more than makes up for in flavor and portion size.

The flavors were bold and authentic, and the food tasted fresh and homemade. Portions are generous, so come hungry. The menu offers a great variety of Mexican staples everything is reasonably priced between $10–$20.

The only downside was the atmosphere it felt a bit bare inside, more like a quick-stop spot than a dine-in destination. Still, it’s clean and functional, and great for takeout or a fast lunch.

Overall, El Taco Riendo Express delivers solid, flavorful Mexican food without trying too hard to be fancy. Definitely worth a visit if you’re craving something filling and authentic.

So good. Love this place. I usually get Al pastor tacos and they never cease to amaze me!

Torta Cubana, get it. Cut the carne aside yourself and throw it back on the sandwich

Really great food, reasonable prices for the servings they give you, (which are HUGE!) guacamole comes automatically with the chimichanga for no extra charge and the Pico de gallo was very flavorful. The bathrooms are definitely a bit of a creepy walk down a sketchy hallway with flickering lights but otherwise awesome place!

The food is just absolutely amazing! 🤤

While I had my food one customer couldn't stop taking about how good his meal was, he ordered a 2nd meal to go because he loved it so much.

My burrito 🌯 was huge, very tasty, made quickly, and very affordable.

The ingredients tasted fresh.

It is in a stech part of town, but that's how you know the food is good! This is what they mean by "it's worth dying for."

I certainly would come back.

Well done 👍✅
