50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Mounds View

“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.“

“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.“

“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.

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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“

“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.“

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

“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+“

“Great food and staff! A lot of fun.“

“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!“

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

“good food delicious and fast service“

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

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

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

“Must have been an off night. Server was great but somehow kitchen didn't get our order ticket? After 45 minutes waiting our server said orders were being “worked on”. No offer of explanation until we pressed server for information. Server did offer complimentary desserts but we didn't need that. My wine order took 15 minutes if not longer from single bartender; can't the wait staff pour wine??? Food finally arrived and was delicious! Sad introductions to a cool place!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“I tried Que Taco for the first time..the location in New Hope off of Bass Lake Road. The handmade tortillas are excellent and the Pozole as one of the best I have had...very authentic. It was so good we went back the next day to try the chilaquiles and machete. All very good!“

“Las mejores Gorditas de Arina y maíz y platillos 100% recomendados ,Sason de mi lindo estado de Durango 👌🏻“

“This place has very good food and great prices.“

“The best shredded chicken nachos you are going to find in the twin cities.“
