“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

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

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

“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!“

“Visited the St Louis Park location, having been a fan of the original Excelsior location. Had the happy hour Margarita’s, Tacos (carnitas, steak & potato), and a spicy chicken salad. All were good, along with chips & queso. A good addition to that area.“

“best burrito in Minnesota, hands down. ive been to just about every hole in the wall restaurant and taco trucks and this one is the best tasting and sized burrito I've ever had!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Everything at this restaurant was delicious the guacamole was the best I’ve ever had there were four of us and each enjoyed our meal. The service was excellent look forward to coming back“

“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!

“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“

“Delicious tacos and friendly service.“

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

“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 👌 👏 👍 😌“

“All 4 major flavors of the rice hit in the precisely correct order, followed by a few perfect overtones.

The pinto beans had a clarity. Yeah I said it and acknowledged the sheer douche of it.

The tacos were honest and excellent.

The quesabirrias were scrumptious and well proportioned so you don’t feel vile.

Basically, someone in this kitchen is an artist at heart.

Vibe is on point. It ain’t fancy it’s REASONABLE dammit.

The burgers are sloppy and generous and if your smash burger doesn’t scratch the itch then just get another. Nowhere else is doing it much better.“

“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!.“

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

“I had the chicken chimichanga and my partner had the shrimp tacos. He tried some of my rice & beans and immediately orders his own side! When we first got there, we were bummed out about no chips and queso… but everything following that seriously makes it worth it, forget the queso! The salsa was amazing as well. The service was awesome, I read somewhere that this place is owned by 3 sisters and you can absolutely tell they own the place. Not only can you tell they are happy to be there, but they really enjoy the restaurant. You’ll see them back there cooking your food before they bring it to you. And there is one ingredient in their food you will never taste at El Rancho Grande or any big name Mexican restaurant… LOVE!! We ate all our food and were definitely full, but it didn’t leave us feeling all gross and lethargic like you do after eating the greasy food at other restaurants. Come show this family owned business some love, you won’t regret it“

“I either get the Tazón (choice of rice and beans or lettuce base) with lots of toppings including a scoop of guacamole (extra but yum) or a couple of Mexican style tacos. Lots of meat or vegi choices. I love the chipotle chicken. Yum!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“#1 Mexican restaurant, 550% delicious, prices are always a deal, with an owner with a beautiful soul! Thank you for feeding me for over 25 years.“

“This is a go to for our family! Every meal we’ve had is delicious and we are met with great service! The staff goes above and beyond to take care of us and our young family. High quality Mexican food and laid back atmosphere. Amazing tacos, arris con pollo, and chimichangas. Hoping this place sticks around forever!!“

“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!“

“Great tacos, it's fun when there's a lot of people there. They prepare the tortillas really well here and their barbacoa is top notch. In my opinion, this is one of the best taco trucks in the cities. The salsa roja and salsa verde both taste so good and their roja is perfectly spicy. The music is fun that they play.“

“Nacho del gordo was amazing and the margarita“

“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! 🌯🌮💕“

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

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

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

“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!“
