“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“10/10 Best place in town for tacos.“

“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.“

“Janetta was wonderful! Really appreciated her service and the food was amazing! Please let Janetta work on your marketing - if we hadn't happened to look at Google maps to see what was around us, we would never have discovered you! You should have more of a presence so people know to come check you out!“

“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.“

“good food delicious and fast service“

“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+“

“Awesome food, service was great and they were slammed crazy style. Only problem is its not the best part of town for tourists so I'd be mindful of that, I was also the sore thumb standing out in the area ha. Would definitely recommend, great food!“

“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“

“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!“

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

“muy excelente atención y la comida muy rica y deliciosa 😋 muy bonito“

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

“Absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. The food was fresh, flavorful, and authentic — every dish came out hot and perfectly prepared. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome the entire time. The atmosphere was fun, clean, and relaxing, making it a great place for dinner with family or friends. The chips and salsa were amazing, and the portions were generous for the price. Definitely one of the best Mexican restaurants I’ve been to, and I’ll absolutely be coming back. Highly recommend!“

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

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

“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.“

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

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

“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“

“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 !“

“I live about an hour away and the drive is well worth it. The Carne asada burrito bowl is the bomb 💣 The hot sauce is hot like it should be. Mr.Taco is by far the best Mexican food I've had in this state.“

“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.“
