50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Mounds View

“Best Margaritas - Very Friendly - Fabulous Food. We LOVE This Place!“

“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!“

“So I have drove by here at least 100 times in the last 2-3 months. I have wondered, I have mentioned it to the boyfriend, and I always kept going cause they looked so busy. Tonight we stopped!! It was so worth it, I thought I had ordered something other than what I got, (I did order what I got) but they offered to get me what I wanted to order, I'm so glad I said no I will eat this, (the Carnita Torta) it was amazing and so filling. I can not wait to try something else. Let me mention as well it was within an hour of closing and we were welcomed in as if they just opened. (That is so impressive these days.) Everyone was so kind and welcoming. The price was right, the food was amazing, and the service was so welcoming I felt like I had been going there for years, come to find out they just opened this past May 2022. Panchos really reminded me of a place I went to while in Cabo... Keep up the great work. We will be back sooner than you think cause they are open for breakfast too. If you haven't tried Panchos yet, stop what you are doing and go! Go for Breackfast, lunch or dinner! You will not be disappointed.“

“10/10 Best place in town for tacos.“

“Finally found a Mexican restaurant as good as the taquerias in California! The carne asada was well seasoned and the campechano taco with cactus was amazing. The California burrito was extremely large and had a sauce and cheese on the outside of the tortilla - that was unexpected. It also had BLACK beans, not mushy pinto beans!! A couple of the salsas had a good bit of spice to them. Definitely recommend!! Each table had real flowers in a little jar - that just goes to show that they are doing that little bit extra to make it nice! Also enjoyed the fried ice cream.

Parking: Parking is shared among the strip mall businesses. Although the parking lot was busy we got a spot right by the door

Kid-friendliness: They have a kids menu. There is upbeat Spanish music playing and the inside just has a fun vibe in general

Wheelchair accessibility: The entrance is a bit of a tight L corner with an inside and outside door. I can imagine this could be hard to navigate unless the doors are held open. All the tables are fairly low down. The bathroom was a bit on the smaller side - one room with one toilet - with a standard door not a wide door“

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

“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!“

“Found this restaurant randomly. Was taken by surprise by how fresh and hot the food came out. We enjoyed a carne asada burrito, birria tacos and carne asada fries. Definitely stopping by again. Staff was extremely kind, welcoming and attentive.“

“I'm from Central America, and i can promise you this is the closest to home I have been in a little while, everything is soo good. thank you Tasty Taco“

“First time there. Good came quickly and hot. It was very flavorful. We will definitely be back“

“Super recomendado excelente servicio y todo bien rico!!!“

“ordene 2 burritos uno de barbacoa y uno de carnitas los 2 muy ricos selos recomiendo“

“My sister and I had lunch. We had the greatest waiter. Jordan. He was fun, attentive and had great drink and food suggestions. Even though he was by himself and ended up getting super busy, his warm personality still shined through. Great variety of foods on the menu“

“buenas cosas vende ah I en esa tienda“

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

“Love this place! I always have a shredded beef dish of some sort. I know it's homemade as a couple of times I have found a bay leaf inside my burrito or taco. Good thing I always add a bit of salsa to my stuff and check. I love sitting at the bar and trying the 3 different salsas that are available as a help yourself buffet style along with delicious chips. Love the margaritas but now I am spoiled, I tried one with Milagro silver tequila on the rocks. It is excellent! The Columbia Heights locale is my favorite, and I have tried each of the others! I have yet to try the patio in the summertime, so I can't tell you about it. The stained glass windows are amazing! Busy bustling place! I love it! And the staff is excellent! If I want to change an option on the menu, the staff is very accommodating. I would give this place 5 stars! I always take family and friends to La Casita Mexican Restaurant - Columbia Heights, MN when they come to visit!“

“I was greeted the moment I walked in. He was very friendly and let me sample the drinks to decide which one I wanted! I got the strawberry and it was amazing! I ordered the birria tacos and they were out of this world amazing! Definitely going back to try some more of the menu!“

“Wow...what an IMPRESSIVE dining experience! It's been a long time since we have enjoyed a night out so much. Food 'Molcajete Mexicano' was packed full of flavor and Jorge (bar tender) who waited on us was EXCEPTIONALLY kind; made us feel more like family vs patrons. And the margarita 'Texas Jumbo' was super delish! All of the staff we encountered were incredibly gracious and prompt to respond to any request. We will be back! Bravo El Loro!“

“Food was excellent ! Prices were a little high but feel it’s 100000% justified considering every single thing is hand made. All the sauces, salsas, tortillas, etc. Had carnitas gorditas that were so light and airy, and red enchiladas with proper homemade sauce. Will definitely be back.

Parking: Maybe 12 spots“

“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 food and atmosphere!“

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

“They asked for a tip when we ordered but they called us to get our food when it was ready, and they got very angry because we didn't clean up our table when we were done. When we told them that's why we tipped them, they told us not to come back.“

“Very good food in st.francis! I’m usually picky with Mexican food and they were so good.defiantly authentic and what I’ve been looking for!“

“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!“

“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! 🌯🌮💕“

“Good food and friendly staff.“

“I opted for the full-service option at the bar rather than using QR code. The bartender, Shannon was very friendly & made great recommendations for food and drinks. Who would have thought Mezcal would make such a delicious Bloody Mary!

Vegetarian options: It seems like almost every menu item is either already vegetarian or a vegetarian option is provided.“

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

“Very unique and authentic taste ! Fresh made and hometown feel. Definitely a 5 star !“

“Catered a 75th Birthday through the Andover location. The food was delicious and presented beautifully. The service was excellent (Thank You, Luis) and the room rental was both well put together and affordable. What a great place to gather with food you KNOW will be excellent and the service as if you were part of the family. 5 Stars Acapulco, Andover!“

“I came here for a girls' outing with some young ladies, and it was the perfect spot!

We started by ordering from the kiosk when we walked in, then waited at the table for our number to be called. The food came out quickly and was packed with flavor. There’s also a salsa bar—the onions, jalapeños, and cucumbers were delicious and spicy!

I wanted to try everything, so we ordered a variety of items from the menu.

I’ll definitely be back for the chicharrón botanero, which came with pinto beans, guacamole, and queso!

We also ordered churro bites, plátanos fritos, a machete (swapped with chicken instead of carne), quesabirrias, a bowl, mesquite, and aguas frescas—horchata.“

“I had an exceptional experience from start to finish. The hospitality—from the host to our server—was truly top-tier. The ambiance was immaculate and unmatched, creating the perfect dining atmosphere. I ordered the enchiladas, which were absolutely divine, and the guacamole was rich, flavorful, and unforgettable. I would gladly recommend this place again and again.“
