“Fresh ingredients, flavor spot on, beautiful presentation. Great spot for a quick lunch in the mall.“

“This was our first visit and I can tell you it is my new favorite places!!!! The best Mexican I have ever had!!! 12 on a scale of 1-10!!! 🥰🥰🥰“

“A small place, short staffed because cleaning is clearly not a priority. My food could have been a tad hotter but the carnitas was tender. The price for a burrito bowl starts at $9.95 but be careful, they tack on extra charges for things like queso and guacamole. So suddenly you $9.95 bowl is $13. I think $2.95 for a bottle of water is a ridiculous mark up.“

“Good service and good food!“

“We've been fans of this store for years. The food is excellent, and the grocery options are great!“

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

“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 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!“

“Delicious Mexican food and excellent service.“

“Yummy as always! Great food! Authentic family recipes! Love the vibe! Attentive wait staff!“

“SO TASTY! Ordered carry out and we could not stop saying how tasty everything was. It’s a simple menu but the grill flavor and spices are not. You have to try it! LOVED the 4 piece chicken xtra spicy! The street tacos are the best I have had. We are impressed and thankful for this great carry out option on 101! Thank you El Fagon!!!“

“I've been here a few times and plan to go many more. The food is great, price is very reasonable, service has always been great, online ordering/drive-through process is a lazy gal dream.
Cochinita Pibil is my favorite meat here, it has amazing flavor!

Don't let the small stature of the restaurant fool you, good things come in small packages!“

“The food was amazing! We ordered the quesabirria And ate it in our truck, then ordered another order to go home because it was so good. Maria took our order and was so sweet and friendly. Quick wait time of 5 minutes. I highly recommend!!!“

“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.“

“This is the latest “Mexican option in the Eden Prairie Center Food Court since early fall of 2025. Their burritos and tacos are fresh and tasty. I go there about every few weeks and I am working around on the menu, and have not been disappointed yet.“

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

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

“Cuando is ICE coming here? for I not to be there. Food iz bery good pero, ims ascared. si ICE chows up wen ims eting. The Parillada is da besst.“

“I had the avacado bowl, it could feed 2. Lettuce was fresh and crisp and cut perfectly. Bacon bits were not dry. Right amount of sauce and flavor. Meat was good and a proper amount. Avacado was blended well to make the taste subtle. (some may want a side of avacado). Tomatos, less is more, perfect. Bowl was perfectly fried. If you want multiple tacos or a salad this is a great alternative. It gives a better experience.“

“The Breakfast burrito will change your life ����and the Morning crew are all great people“

“I had a great time here for my birthday! The food was great and our server was very kind and funny. I really appreciated that they kept the doors locked while Minnesota is being invaded by unlawful masked agents. Made me want to support them even more. If anyone is considering going here please go and support our immigrant businesses! They are what make Minnesota great!“

“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 is cheesy as hell to write about, but thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving me a cheesy Gordita crunch that’s - actually- delicious. Every single Taco Bell lately has given me the lamest, driest little depression-era crunches, so this was a refreshing surprise.“

“I continue to go out of my way to visit this Chipotle location even with two other locations within 5 minutes of me — because this one is consistently an A+ experience every single time. The store is always clean, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the team genuinely seems happy to be there.

I had the chance to speak with Crystal, the GM, along with Juan (and others I didn't get the names of) on the line, and both were incredibly pleasant, professional, and inviting. What really stood out to me was seeing Crystal actively sweeping and helping maintain the restaurant herself — that level of leadership, commitment, and pride says a lot about the culture she’s built there.

I also learned Crystal has been with Chipotle for many years, and it absolutely shows. You can tell she’s passionate about creating an environment that feels cared for like it’s her own home. That kind of dedication is rare these days and deserves recognition.

Warm greetings, great energy, a spotless restaurant, and consistently solid food/service keep me coming back, even with a 15-minute drive. Well done to the entire team — keep up the amazing work! 🤩“

“They sell tacos but I've yet to meet a John. I straight up just love Taco John's. I eat there whenever I can. The workers are very timely, a 3-4 minutes at most for wait time in my experience.. but it's always been very quick. Friendly service.“

“Just got the best vegan burrito bowl ever- staff was very friendly and made me feel welcome. Didn’t try to “short me” as my son says. Try it again!“

“Great Taco John's! This location is a bit busier, but they manage it very well- the drive-thru line moves quickly, and my food is always correct. The AI ordering system actually works well. The food is always fresh and hot, and the service is always friendly. I have never had a bad order of potato olé's, but somehow, the ones here taste better.“

“Had an issue with doordash tonight. But whoever I was speaking with was awesome. He gave me the information i needed and even called me back to confirm the re order had came through. Frustrating situation but the restaurant handled it phenomenally!! Thank you to whoever i was talking to! i wish i had gotten your name!“
