“Now let me start by saying that I’m a Chipotle girlie through and through. Always have been. Tonight was my first time trying Pancheros, and let me tell you, chef’s kiss. 😚

I got the burrito bowl as ordered:
• Rice
• Extra chicken
• Queso
• Hottest Red Sauce
• Shredded Cheese
• Jalapeños (super fresh and spicy 🌶️ btw)
• Corn Salsa
• Pico De Gallo
• Extra Sour Cream

It was soooo good! 😋 The flavor of the chicken was great, super fresh and not dry at all. It was so juicy! The jalapeños were fresh and the hot sauce was saucin’! 🔥 i love the way the shredded cheese just melted into the ingredients in the bowl and every bite was perfect. I also ordered the guacamole and chips and that was also tasty! Love that they use the blue corn chips, perfectly salted btw.

I definitely will come back here for some more! The pricing was reasonable, similar to chipotle but I think a little cheaper! I also ordered two tacos for my six and four year old, pretty basic with just chicken, cheese and sour cream but they both devoured them. So it’s a win for mom!

Thanks Pancheros. 🤍🤍👏🏽👏🏽“

“Delicious Mexican food and excellent service.“

“Zantigo is excellent. I usually order their green chili burrito, with two hot chilitos. Very yummy. (you have to slurp the burrito. hahaha)“

“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!“

“Great service and better food“

“This place is a hidden gem ! Some of our favorites food I must say is the torta cubana , the quesadilla, tacos are delicious , pambazo was good but I feel like in needs more flavor I barely taste the chorizo I think it was more like a torta with potato filling, the torta Hawaiian was really good especially because the pineapple gave it a special touch of flavor the asada fries are delicious we always finish them all I recommend the shrimp alambres and the aguas frescas.“

“My Mexican hubby complains of the lack of good authentic Mexican food inMN but raves about all the things we tried at Tacos Tacuba!!“

“I have been to this grocery store a bunch of times but I never ordered anything to eat inside before. I was supprised by how loaded the Huarache was, I was very pleased, I also requested the item to be modified and they did what they could to make it as I asked.The wasn't slow, it took around ten minutes, everything that was on my plate was put together with fresh ingredients so that's understandable.There isn't alot of seating but for being a place inside of another store there is a considerable amount. I also visited on the weekend and it was busy and there was a line for checking out. The window says they are open daily 6 am to 9pm so that a big chunk of hours.The Location is only 1 mile west of 35W Highway so it's a prime spot. It is not a sit down with a menu and order place, it is a order at the counter and get your recipe number called and pick it up place. So you can dine in once you have your food or take it to go with you. I liked the taste of the food and I would like to go back and try out additional items on the menu.

Vegetarian options: You can ask for the items without meat.

Parking: Free parking, but usually pretty busy.“

“These are the best tacos I’ve ever had!! The meat is juicy and delicious and the onion and cilantro is so fresh every time! We eat here atleast once a week because the prices can’t be beat! My husband loves the birria quesadilla and I recommend the carne asada tacos!! Thankfully we live right down the street!“

“Nice place! and big parking lot . 👍👌🎊🎉“

“great service and the food was amazing“

“Delicious, fast, and exactly what I needed!
I ordered takeout from QDOBA and everything was perfect—from the flavor to the packaging. The burrito bowl was fresh, packed with toppings, and still warm when I got home. The chips were crispy and the queso was amazing as always. Super quick prep time and friendly service at pickup. Will definitely be ordering again soon!“

“Me and my family truly enjoyed ourselves. Great food and service, the menu is totally unique.“

“A bit tricky to find if you don’t know the area well, so just be aware:) It is a hidden gem 💎! We’ve never had to wait long to be seated. the staff is always quick, attentive, and friendly! Everyone in my party loved the meal they ordered. The lunch menu has a lot of great choices!Their chips and salsa is awesome. Drinks are always full! my brother and his wife love the tres leche cake 🍰 , so we ordered 2 pieces between 4 of us, and it was finished:) The decor is my favorite of all! the paintings on the tables and chairs are so beautiful and colorful! The other location in bloomington had the same beautiful decor until they closed. If you want good american mexican, El Loro is a great choice! They have a really lovely bar area as well! 🥰😍“

“su atención!! la comida lo limpio del lugar y los precios justos“

“I picked up my order at 1:03pm from the drive thru today. Whoever made the chicken that day, at that specific time needs a raise or teach everyone else how to cook the chicken. That was the most flavorful, juiciest chicken I've ever had at any chipotle, including this one.“

“I stopped by this Taco Bell today and honestly didn’t expect to be this impressed. The moment I walked in, the energy felt good. The staff were genuine, friendly, and fast, the kind of people who actually look at you and make you feel welcome instead of just rushing you through a line.

The place itself is spotless. Clean tables, clean floors, clean counters. Even the parking lot has plenty of space, which is rare these days. It makes the whole visit feel easy and stress free.

And the music… surprisingly good. Not too loud, not boring. Just the right vibe while you eat.

But the part that really took me back was the tray. They still serve your food on a tray here. It sounds small, but it reminded me of the old days when places cared about the dine-in experience. It feels respectful, like they actually want you to enjoy your meal instead of rushing you out with a paper bag.

Overall, this location hit all the right notes for me. Clean, welcoming, well-run, and a little nostalgic in the best way. I’ll definitely come back.“

“Our company had a last minute breakfast this morning we needed catered, and found out 2days before (Wednesday night) the caterer we usually use couldn’t accommodate us. I called Ryan’s Cafe as soon as they opened Thursday morning and Ryan answered. I asked if there was any possible way he could cater breakfast for 57 the next morning by 7 am. He was in the middle of preparing for another event he was catering that day, but was gracious enough to ask questions, offer options and take down my information. He even made suggestions on which items to cut back on so I wasn’t overspending. He had the quote back to me in less than 30 minutes.Anthony, one of Ryan’s employees, arrived the next morning at 6:50 am with the food and had it all ready to serve by 7 am! The presentation was fantastic and the food even better! We had a variety of breakfast burritos and sandwiches (sausage, bacon, ham and a vegetarian option), hash browns, fresh fruit, pastries and all the condiments including butter, cream cheese, hot sauce, etc. Anthony was very helpful and gracious too!Everyone raved about how delicious and fresh the food was, and the generous quantities! And the bonus…the price was very competitive!I can’t say enough good things about Ryan, Anthony and Ryan’s Cafe! We’ll definitely have them cater for us at future events and look forward to the next one! Thank you Ryan, Anthony and Ryan’s Cafe for making our event such a success!“

“This location is leagues ahead of the Burnsville, MN restaurant -- which is absolutely horrid. Food/service at the Savage location was excellent -- and I actually got my order and didn't have to wait 30 mins for it like I would at the Burnsville location. Avoid the Burnsville location -- highly recommend this location in Savage.“

“Love Taco John's especially their breakfast burritos! Super friendly staff: Sean B., Cristian M, Angeles C., they take pride in making everything consistently great, not only visually, but taste wise off the charts! Highly recommend their breakfast menu, best bang for your buck in town!“
