I swung by tonight and it looks like they are closed for good?? So sad!! This place was amazing. Best Mexican food in south Minneapolis. Really surprised that they are no longer open. Owners - Please respond to my review if I am incorrect :-(

This place is amazing! The barbacoa taco was incredible but my favorite might have been the cauliflower tinga. I absolutely loved the mojito margarita, it was super fresh and delicious.

Tremendous. If I could give 100 stars I would. The eggplant fries were among the tastiest eggplant I’ve ever had. Remarkably good happy hour (highly recommend) and the rice and beans side is absolute comfort food — especially during Minnesota winters. Cannot wait to go back!!!

What an amazing experience. Some of the best tacos I have ever eaten. Everything tasted amazing and a step above your normal taco faire. Service was quick, but they did make a couple small mistakes. They corrected them in a quick and friendly manner. We had the Carnitas, Barbacoa Cauliflower Tinga and Fried Fish tacos as well as the cheese dip and churros. Great flavors all around and would order it all again. Drinks were amazing too! My only complaint is the music was too loud and it was hard to have a conversation with the person sitting right next to me.

Definitely worth a trip. Food was delicious, fresh and fast. Comfortable set up. Burrito was absolutely delicious!! Owner/ chef was there too which is always a good sign. Will be going back!

Bright flavors and top notch ingredients. Get the Yuca fries. They were served so hot we could barely eat them, and with the mayonnaise dipping sauce they were delicious thick Potato-like treat bombs. We got two tacos- asada (delicious!) and shrimp tempura (very good). Also got a two pork tostadas. Very very good. Spicy Margarita gets a 4 out of 5.

Have been here half dozen times and does not disappoint. Best tacos I have had in Minnesota. Consistent quality. Low key atmosphere inside and friendly staff.

So I work very near this new restaurant and had been wanting to try it for some time, but alas they had no hours over lunch (at least none that I ever found). BUT THAT CHANGED TODAY! I noticed that people were sitting outside on their patio and decided that today would be a good day for tacos! I was right! These were great! In summary; Theo greeted me right away, helped me navigate the menu with ease, explained the items, and was sincerely apologetic in explaining why they were out of certain things (delivery truck trashed their supply and were awaiting replacements) The whole restaurant gave off a welcoming vibe. Music was on in background but not so loud you couldn't have a conversation. They have soda, beer and spirits for sale and would a GREAT spot for happy hour! (Especially in weather like today!) Come and give the restaurant a shot (of tequila?)! You'll be glad you did!

Great little taco bar in Minneapolis!The service was attentive and speedy.The nachos were stacked and loaded up nicely.Tostadas were fresh and perfectly builtAnd the tacos, all the different varieties, are fresh, tasty, and the amount of fillings in each one exceeded our expectations.I would definitely return the next time I'm back in the area.
Stopped for a quick drink after dinner. Service was good, fun, and lively. Only wish we had more time.

I took my parents out for margaritas and tacos at Prieto and we all loved it. We each ordered 3 different tacos. None of them disappointed, but the carnitas taco was my favorite. Next time I’m going to order the Yuca fries. Those looked delicious. The vibe was very fun. Family friendly, but also grown-up somehow.

We love Prieto! The carnitas is perfectly seasoned and roasted. Not too mushy and not so heavily seasoned that you can’t taste the meat. I’ve never had anything on the menu that wasn’t delicious. The staff have always been very kind as well. We eat here regularly.

I loved this place when it was on Lake Street. Decided to go again. Friend told me they moved down to 47th and Nicollet. Seems out of the way. I preferred the old location. Place was not busy but staff was great and food was excellent. Settled for simple chicken tacos and chips and salsa. Staff brought us two small margarita shots to try out.

Stop it. This place is SO good! I'm all about the sauces and this place wins the sauce game. Although I wasn't a huge fan of the salsa, everything else was on spicy and flavorful in the best way. The pork was tender in the rice bowl and the shrimp tempura tacos were amazing. The churros we're the best I've had in a long time. I'm looking at forward to going back again.
