“Food is spot on every single time. Hands down best in Minnesota 👏👏“

“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.“

“Heidi was so helpful! The food was fresh and well seasoned. Great tasting guacamole and fresh made chips! Clean inviting space! Chipotle never again!“

“This place is a hidden gem in the suburbs.. Great food and friendly staff. Erica was my host on a random taco Tuesday. Great specials offered daily too.“

“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.“

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

“very good, authentic. very friendly service! #tacos #burritos #goodfood #localeats“

“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“

“10/10 Best place in town for tacos.“

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

“Lulu’s is a true neighborhood gem! The staff is incredibly friendly, and the food is beyond delicious. The gordita and alambre are absolute standouts, and everything else we have enjoyed here is delicious too. We love having this place in our neighborhood and hope it stays for a long time!“

“this is the best Mexican food bar none. This place should have a 5⭐🌟⭐🌟⭐rating for their food & great service they provide“

“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“

“El mejor heladoooo muy cremosito!! Pedí una sandía Loka y wow la mejor muy bien preparada. 💯 recomendado“

“We had an amazing dinner experience at Centro last night. Our group of 3 were greeted and sat at our table right away. Our server Sarah J. was very attentative. All the dishes were fresh and flavorful! The atmosphere was fun and inviting with the colorful decor and music playlist. We will definitely be back to try other menu items.“

“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!“

“food was amazing, staff was amazing“

“Family was attending a get together at Minneapolis Axe Throwing and afterwards decided to grab a bite. Decided to stop by Sonora Mexican Kitchen just happenstance. WOW. I live for Mexican food and honestly this food was really top of the list. Everyone at the table indicated that the food was the best tasting they have had for a Mexican fare. Not just saying this. I had to think when I’ve had better, and couldn’t really come up with an answer. It was a long drive for us, but I’m going to have to make this trip again. Well done Sonora Mexican Kitchen and Bar! Well done!“

“I wish it was a star point system to review. I usually love britos burrito. The location on Nicollet is really convenient for me. I would probably give it three stars. I always ask for one scoop of rice and they always give me extra. I ask for a little bit of corn and they put a heaping scoop on the one thing that really frustrates me is that when I ask for extra cheese, they put a pinch on and if I ask for more, they get angry and tell me that I’m going to have to pay for it. The service leaves a lot to be desired, but the pricing is good, which is why it is three stars and not five.“

“I enjoyed Masa & Agave, located downstairs in the Hotel Ivy, where I almost lived in a condo above the hotel. It’s in an area of downtown that can get desolate after the workday, which is why I chose not to live there. However, after an event at Orchestra Hall, Masa & Agave was perfect. Gorgeously appointed, Masa comes across as classy, with prices to match. This is not your rowdy taco joint. Service was good, if a bit casual for such an elegant place. My short rib tacos were delicious, juicy, and flavorful. I enjoyed them. Cocktails were okay, but they lacked any originality. That was what I felt overall at Masa. The restaurant lacked an identity and came across as very corporate. If I were within a block and a half, I would return to Masa & Agave, but it wouldn’t be a destination restaurant for me.“

“This is my all time FAVORITE restaurant on campus!!! Anytime I decide to eat out, this is where I go. I will most definitely continue coming back even once I no longer am a student at the U of M. I strongly encourage everyone to try this restaurant!“

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

“All Taco is by far my favorite restaurant. Every time the food tastes just perfect. I love the street tacos and corn, but everything has been delicious. Customer service is top of the line, friendly and fast.“

“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!“

“Excellent service, got our food really fast! Generous portions and delicious.“

“They have authentic food at very reasonable prices. Make sure you try their Steak Corn Quesadilla! You won't regret it and you won't be hungry after eating it, it's huge! 5 Stars“

“good food delicious and fast service“

“I’d heard this place was known for its incredible carnitas, so I had to see for myself—and it absolutely lived up to the hype.

I ordered three surtido/maciza pork tacos with onions, cilantro, and radish. They asked if I wanted a little extra pork fat on top, and the answer is yes—definitely do it! I also grabbed both the mild and hot salsas.

The tacos came out incredibly fast and were generously loaded with perfectly cooked pork. The first bite was rich, juicy, and packed with flavor. A squeeze of fresh lime and a spoonful of salsa balanced the richness beautifully and brought everything together.

If you’re looking for authentic, flavorful tacos with generous portions and fast service, this place is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be back!“

“excellent, a family member has food allergies and they are very accommodating , the food is always fresh and good. the mango sauce is good ( no stale chips like at other larger restaurants ). A+“

“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! 🌯🌮💕“

“The best Mexican spot - I will be dreaming of those nachos for days. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious and ended with a horchata (not pictured) beyond amazing. Honestly I’ve been to and eaten at a large number of places in Mexico and this restaurant is top notch. 12/10 recommend.“

“excellent food and service ! our favorite for special occasions!“

“Loaded with meat. Generous with the hot sauce!“

“We were in town for the USA Cup and really wanted some good Mexican food. This place did not disappoint. Food was delicious, our waiter was so kind and helpful. It is a clean atmosphere. Large portions. The chips and salsa on the table were so fresh and delicious as well. Will definitely be a spot we hit up again when we are in town as we are from Chicago.“

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

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

“Can't wait until they open up again.“

“A hidden gem in the north suburbs. Easily some of the best authentic Mexican food in the metro. Personally the steak quesadilla is my favorite, but you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu.“

“Columbia Heights location is wonderful! Best pupusas ever. The slaw mix and red sauce goes perfectly with them. Always hot and well made💕“

“i was not expecting my quesadilla to be packed full, to the brim, with The Goods. it's delicious and it brought me comfort in these trying times. yummy yummy yummy“

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

“great food! great service!“

“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!“

“Good and flavorful! It still exists in fast food !“

“Visited this food truck outside of Insight Brewing. I got the pork belly tacos and they were amazing! Staff was super friendly and the food was great. Would definitely recommend!“

“I don't understand why they only have a 4.1 Google rating.
This place was amazing!
I went to the Roseville location. Ordering was easy, my food arrived quickly and it was hot and fresh. I tried three different tacos - carne asada, birilla and chicken. All were loaded with meat, spicy, and not dry at all. Perfect tacos!
Fair prices and free salsa bar makes Taco Libre an easy choice for lunch or dinner.
I definitely recommend the Roseville location, and I absolutely be back again.“
