“Went here on the 4th of July for dinner,one word...AMAZING!!!“

“We went for the first time yesterday and we loved it! The food was delicious and we really enjoyed the atmosphere. Great service. We will be back soon!“

“Everything we’ve had from Nixta is just so good. More than once we’ve said “this is the best ______ I’ve ever had” about various menu items. Cant recommend enough.“

“Everything I have tried has been amazing. Also the marks are so good! The new shimp option is very good!“

“The food was incredible and our server Emily was amazing! Do not skip the guac!“

“Great tacos!! Delicioso! Will be back!!!“

“Wow! That brunch buffet was fantastic! I'm from Texas and this was pretty close to the Mexican food I'm used to. Definitely going again and I'm bringing friends!“

“Strawberry coconut dream is quite sweet definitely a good balance of coconut and strawberry flavors (heavily). Tacos are on the larger quantity side. Sesame Chicken taco is crispy, tangy, with a good kick of spice. Al pastor taco is good, tangy with the bit of pineapple. Carnitas taco is very savory and juicy. The corn tortillas are nice and soft. Definitely have the sesame last because it overwhelms the other flavors. The sweet corn cake is super soft, a very light cornbread flavor. Elote is good, simple and yummy.“

“Excellent service. Clean atmosphere. Had amazing fajitas, beans and rice. Homemade chips and salsa were divine. Pisco Sour was AMAZING! Don’t forget the Tres leches !!“

“So my friend told me about this little unassuming taco joint, and I decided to try it. Omg, the food is on point! Tastes like homemade. The ladies were very sweet and enjoyable. I was nervous at first because it's tiny and dated, but the food is amazing, and the sauce they give you on the side is so good. Two tacos, a tamale and a drink, only cost me $12! You don't find these prices anymore. I'll be back and I'm bringing friends!“

“Often, lovely food cooked simply can be the best. That was my experience at Chilango. Fish tacos with a side of charred peppers and onions plus a side of red rice. Staff are trying really hard. Give ‘em a chance.
They have a great mezcal selection too!“

“Amazing food. We shared 4 plates. Each one better than we could have wished for. Possibly the best Paloma I’ve ever had. The manager Natalie took tremendous care of us. Fabulous experience.“

“Delicious. The tacos were very fresh and juicy, I added the red sauce and it was so good. Amazing customer service, the lady that took my order was so sweet. Overall 5 stars, great food.“

“Highly recommend this hidden gem for a great deal on the BEST tacos al pastor in Minneapolis. Nachos al pastor is a particularly generous portion (I had already eaten half of it in the photo) and perfect to share. Chips are made fresh in house. Sit and enjoy your meal at the counter, then get back to your day. It's worth the trip.“

“Great food. Great service.“

“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!“

“el mejor ambiente familiar las meseras son un amor y la comida fantástica“

“we always stop here when we travel to the cities. Amazing food!!!“

“Nice, relaxed atmosphere and delicious Mexican food with a sophisticated twist. The Mexican Chocolate, with cinnamon, vanilla and cayenne pepper, is a must try.“

“The Service was very attentive and on time, The food was very delicious and quickly prepared, I like the pot coffee a little more robust, The space in the restaurant is limited but it is worth the wait, The review of the food is based on the chilaquiles with cured meat and egg, and the minced meats with cured meat that we ordered, the style of the beans and rice varies from restaurant to restaurant
It is located inside a plaza/mall, it has enough parking on one side and public bathrooms.
We are going to visit them again!

“Vinimos esta noche por primera vez a probar la comida, el lugar estaba muy ocupado ya que había mucha gente sin embargo el muchacho que nos atendió nos dio muy buen servicio ya que con nuestra orden se nos atrasó por la gente que había enfrente el se disculpo y nos ofreció incluso una bebida por parte de la casa!. Estoy seguro que les ira muy bien y totalmente lo recomiendo!.“

“Delicious Quesabirria tacos with consommé. Friend taco shells with succulent stewed beef, cheese, onions, cilantro, which you can dip in the beef stew broth. $15 with tax, but filling - split it with my kid.Located in the food court of Mercado Centrale - a bustling Hispanic market in the heart of Lake street“

“El chivo crazy will serve you the best chivo (goat barbacoa), (goat broth) El consome will bring you back to life after a good night of drinking. But don't get discouraged if goat barbacoa It's not your thing. They also serve other popular dishes like Picaritas,Quesadillas, tacos etc. Enjoy with popular aguas frescas.
With easy access, the mall also has an elevator for wheelchair. parking on the side
Fair prices 👌 👏 👍 😌“

“We have been coming here for decades! The sweetest family owns and runs this place. Authentic Mexican food and one of the prettiest patios in the Twin Cities. Great for a leisurely dinner outdoors!

Vegetarian options: Cheese or spinach enchiladas!

Kid-friendliness: Kids menu, high chairs and changing station.“

“Delicious tacos and friendly service.“

“The food and drinks were great. Highly recommend this place. Tequila selection is amazing.“

“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!“

“My husband and I come here every Valentines Day. We love the seafood, the prices, the beer. I can't get over the fish soup which, with bread, makes a very satisfying winter night meal.“

“Siiiiii!!!!! Everytime it's right no matter what time u go!!!“

“when I'm too busy to cook, I swing by and order up my favorite veggie burrito. Fast, fresh and delish.. every...time!“

“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!“

“Everything about it was top notch. Will definitely be going back.“

“Excellent food and service! We ordered torta de pollo (chicken sandwich) and veggie burrito, both were delicious. Javier, the boss (el patron), took the time to chat with us. He told us they have a variety of original house salsas with different degrees of heat to choose from, we tried 2 and they were both very tasty. Everything had a true Mexican flavor! Very clean, it was full of Mexican and Latinamerican customers on a Sunday afternoon. It is a small restaurant inside a supermaket with a great team and genuine Mexican food. They have special discounts every weekday. I can’t wait to come back!“

“Service was top notch! Food came out quick and hot. They have a great happy hour. Will be back. Only thing I was bummed about was that they didn’t have the breakfast available on Saturday. Burria tacos were a top notch substitute

Kid-friendliness: They allow kids.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wide walkways, easy parking and plenty of low-top tables“

“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!“

“Thank you for the burrito bowl at the backpack event at cedar field! So good!!! ♥“

“All three of us went to dinner tonight and had a truly memorable and excellent meal. We had not been to Salsa à la Salsa since they were on Nicollet Avenue and now I regret that we have been away for so long. I had the Pollo en Mole Poblano, H had the Pollo con Napolitos and J had the Tacos de Cameron. I’m a real fan of mole, but I don’t always love every mole I have. This was one of, if not the, best moles I have ever eaten. It was absolutely sublime. I used my tortillas to sop every last drop of the exquisite sauce! The black bean tamal that came with my meal was as light as a feather and just melted in your mouth. H’s chicken dish was flavorful and very tender, and the frijoles negro were expertly prepared. J tried both and said they were both delicious, but she really loved her shrimp tacos. The corn tortillas must have been freshly made – light, soft, perfect. H had the pineapple tamal for dessert and J and I had the orange flan. It was honestly the best Mexican food we’ve had in a very long time, and the best meal of recent memory. I honestly could have eaten that mole all night long. We won’t be waiting nearly as long for a return visit. 10/10!“

“First time leaving a review for any establishment. Plenty of parking, prices were extremely reasonable, paid $12 for the biggest and tastiest burrito I think I’ve ever had. If you’re sick of places making food smaller and blander, this place is where you should go. Best food, best service 5 stars“

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

“I truly think this is the best Mexican food in Anoka County! Both locations! Ham Lake location is inside of the BP gas station right off of Constance and 65, you can eat inside or get takeout. They have their own app which makes online ordering a breeze! I feel like this is the best hidden food gem around, I’m assuming people either don’t realize it’s there or are turned off because it’s located inside of a BP. But it’s actually an adorable set up inside the BP and not weird at all :) I give this place 5/5 stars! 🌯🌮💕“

“This is by far one of my favorite places to eat! Food is amazing and they remember you! Today I walked in after being away for six months due to Covid and even with my mask on, they said hi to me by name. Wow!“

“Tacos el Kevin is WONDERFUL! The tacos are so good. The burritos are huge. The tortas are so well made. The fruit was juicy and sweet. The customer service was great! 5 stars for Tacos el Kevin! We will be going back soon!!! Highly recommend!“

“Wonderful little place for delicious Mexican food. My go to is the dinkytown burrito with birria and they DO NOT SKIMP on the food! (Unlike chipotle) I’m a big boy and can eat a lot but this had me full halfway through. Service was good too and the worker was very quick with my order!“

“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!“

“Nacho del gordo was amazing and the margarita“

“Es un ambiente agradable familiar la comida 🥘 es deliciosa la atención es de primera calidad se. Las recomiendo vengan a saborear la deliciosa comida 🥘“

“Yum!! Everything we ordered was delicious! 5 stars for sure.“

“I ordered an asada and a barbacoa taco. The portions were generous and the fillings were tasty. These are some of the best tacos in the city, in my opinion! Service was excellent! The devil is in the details but the details of the tacos ended up being angelic; the thinly sliced white onion, the seasoning on a asada, the juiciness of the lime wedges, the salsa offered with the tacos were all excellent. I highly recommend this spot and I hope more people try it! I meant to take photos of the food but I ate it too fast! Consider eating in as well! There are 8 seats that allow for people watching on 46th st.“
