26 Best Mexican Restaurants near Prior Lake

“We happened to get in on our first Ofelia's experience when a friend picked up tacos for those of us helping my daughter move into her new home in Prior Lake. We were really impressed!Now we look for reasons to come there on Thursdays or Saturdays (we live a half hour away) so we can pick up their fabulous food.The beef brisket or pork tacos are amazing, and the beef brisket burritos are HUGE! Only wish they also offered a side of tortilla chips and salsa. That would perfectly round out meal.“

“We all loved our food. Perfect spiciness for each person. Some like lots of spice and some don't and menu supplied that info.Price isn't bad. Servers are knowledgeable and easy to talk to.Will definately eat there again.Kid-friendliness: We didn't have any kids with us, but othets did. They appeared to enjoy the food.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy to get into building. Plenty of room to navigate.“

“At noon from Monday through Friday I go to La Casa Deli and order my meal. "Cuatro wet birria quesotacos & café" is what I tell the server after I sit down, preferably next to the fire. The tacos come with limes, serrano salsa & the birria soup. Once I saturate my quesotacos in lime juice, I dip them in the house made serrano salsa. Before too long there are no tacos on my plate, which is now covered in orange grease, along with my face and my right hand. The birria soup has a little beef at the bottom, before it too joins the fresh cut vegetables and peppers. My coffee is always too hot, so I take it to go and enjoy it later after I clean up.Please ensure this establishment thrives, I can't get better Mexican food anywhere else.Casa Deli Savage,Thank you.“

“The Birria tacos stole the show! Hands down best I’ve ever had! The building was pretty new and welcoming. The sever was nice but it took awhile to get things. I gave them the benefit of the doubt because it was packed on a Friday night. The lot is small so we had to park on the street. Again it was Friday night and the building is shared with a brewery. This only mattered because it was cold that day. All in all I’d go back in a second… actually I don’t know if I can live without the Birria tacos in my life on the regular! After you read this make plans to go right away! You need the Birria tacos in your life too!!Parking: Small lot but the building is shared with a brewery. It was a Friday night so I understand why it was so busy.“

“If you haven't tried this place, you are missing out! The staff here go above and beyond to make sure your dining experience is wonderful. They're friendly, attentive and kind. We couldn't get enough of the chips and salsa. The food is absolutely delicious fresh, flavorful, filling and oh so good. The Vikingo watermelon margaritas were awesome!“

“The food is good ??It is along the lines of chipoltle food & the price is like the same amount.They offer ? burritos and bowl's.I used to like the burritos they would mix the ingredients on the shell with a spatula before rolling the burritos up and i like that but this last time I ordered a bowl, the guys making the food were fast and did not give any attitude or faces like a lot of fast food places.The ? parking was so/ so , if you dont mind walking a little bit it is in a larger parking lot with various establishments and there should be always something open within 50 feet.Meat options there was chicken, steak, pork, tofuasada.The salsa options were plentiful and aside from that they put salsa in a shaker there, it is volcano ? salsa at the table.I feel this brand is less known than its counterparts chipoltle or qedoba or others maybe if they had a specialty item that others did not offer in addition on there menu or something they could drive in more customers; I recommend offering Huaraches on the menu made with masa or corn tortillas the restaurant already serves everything else that goes on top! It is like a sopes but more authentic and would be a good addition to this store.Vegetarian options: Tufu-asada.“

“I will literally drive a half an hour from Minneapolis simply to eat here, even if the weather's bad, I can't use the picnic tables, and I have to eat in my car. This is not a "oh I'll eat here because it's convenient" food truck. This is the best Mexican food I've ever had. And I've had some good food on the border. You won't be disappointed in anything, but the quesabirria tacos are next level, the carnitas are crispy and tender, and the rice is phenomenal.“

“Vegetarian options: They don’t have a special menu per se, however you do have the option to customize your own pizza slice/whole with your choice of veggies.Kid-friendliness: Plenty of space for a family of 6 or more to eat in the food courtWheelchair accessibility: They have an elevator that can take you to all the floors the mall has available“

“We get takeout from here a lot. I love the tacos árabes. My gluten avoidant spouse loves the street taco style on corn tortillas. The atmosphere isn't bad but the food keeps us going back. I'm also a fan of the horchata.Dietary restrictions: They don't have a separate cooking surface but my celiac spouse hasn't been glutened, ordering GF options..“

“The cashier that helped me was very polite and he was very patient. It was my first time coming and ordering food at their walk up in the food court at the Eden Prairie mall, which I really appreciate that he had patients, sometimes when you've never been somewhere, and you don't know the menu. You are gonna ask some questions. And I have to say that the tacos were very good. I was thinking they were corn tacos. But surprisingly I enjoyed the flour tacos. I will return. Too bad I don't live in Eden Prairie I live in Brooklyn Park but because I'm an Uber driver. I ended up at the mall dropping off someone that works in the food court. I have to come in and use a bathroom I said let me try El Burrito it just looked good when passing. I will definitely will be back. Thank you for your very good customer service and ??good food.“

“This place was awesome! Great atmosphere, clean, and friendly service. The food was very authentic and absolutely delicious! The only thing missing are margaritas, but that won't stop us from making this our go-to place for great Mexican food. I highly recommend.“

“I had a large order for a birthday party. Food was excellent. Service was top notch. Price was seemingly high, but I do not get out much, but the Chilito with onion and sour cream was off the rails, and the Green Chili Um Ahh Burrito with everything on it was delectable if I do not say so my mofo self! It's da bom digitty danglin!Parking: No issuesKid-friendliness: Super kid friendly. Large area for running and jumping.Wheelchair accessibility: My wheelchair fit nicely, I had plenty of room to roam“

“Wow! Where do I start? My wife ordered the Fajita Burrito and I ordered the Tinga Huaraches and quesadilla Carnitas, and for dessert, I ordered fried Ice Cream. I ordered this wonderfully authentic meal over the phone. The service was really quick. I reviewed the menu while I paying for my meal and I could not resist salsa and chip with a bowl of guacamole. The kitchen prepared the chip and also from scratch. I heard them preparing the fresh ingredients and wow! I loved it. Well, what can I say? I loved everything we ordered. The portions were large and so incredibly delicious. The menu was clear and concise, and the ambiance of the restaurant was clean and presentable. I'm telling you, folks! Don't hesitate to visit this fantastic establishment!!!“

“The chilaquiles were delicious! Hand made corn tortillas from the freshly made masa was outstanding. This is the real deal. Super authentic and friendly staff with wonderful service. Very helpful in describing the menu items. Highly recommend.“

“Burrito and refried beans were very good. I also appreciated the lettuce, tomatoes and guacamole on the burrito plate. Everyone in my party thought that the food was tasty and a good value.Kid-friendliness: Casual. There was a bar but little activity there.“

“Gaona's Kitchen at Burnsville Center (food court) is amazing! The food is legit - easily some of the best food I have ever eaten. Everything is prepared fresh and made to order. They have a wide selection of things, including tacos, tortas, and quesadillas, and all packing great flavor! The owners are hardworking, very kind and friendly people, who will make you some excellent food and make sure you leave full and satisfied. Definitely I will be a repeat customer. Don't take my recommendation for it - go there and try it for yourself!“

“Food was very good, had squash which I don't see at a lot of mexican restaurants! Good cilantro sauce as well! Very expensive! Service really lacked, never even got water, didn't get things we asked for, had ta hunt down server to say theymessed up my order, then when u pay it's on their phone thing or something and the tip is already added and they hold the pay thing so they expect a good tip while they watch what u put in. But service was not great!Vegetarian options: U just hafta ask to remove the meat, still get charged for the price of meat but not really vegetarian options.Dietary restrictions: They have a GF menu I think, I'm allergic to much more and they did work with it.“

“fui con mi pareja y quedamos muy satisfechos ... buen servicio,buena comida y deliciosas salsas ..mi parte favorita fue los nachos que pedímos cómo aperitivos.. el cheese dip es riquísimo . sin duda sera uno de mis favoritos restaurantes latinos!“

“Apparently this is a food truck location only. We pulled off the highway looking for this delicious menu and was saddened to only find a gas station.Edit- If closed for the season, can you update so doesn’t say “open” ? Hopefully can try you in the future.“

“Amazing food they have it all ! and they have recently added some new platters here’s a video of some of my favorites that I recommend❣️Vegetarian options: They do have a veggie burrito and are willing to make food to your liking . Although I will say the veggie burrito is all they have but like I’ve said they make things to your liking .Kid-friendliness: They have a kids menu as well !“

“They staff was extremely friendly and courteous, especially considering we barely got there before close because my daughter was hungry on our way home from a long trip on a Sunday night. Food was incredible and the restaurant was very clean and well kept.“

“SUPER YUMMY!!! I've been getting the "Lunch Fajitas" about 1 - 2x per month on average for lunch, for a few years now. Consistently good, plenty of food and the price is great. Service is always friendly. 5-Star Recommendation from me!!“

“OMG!!!! 2 quesobirrias. How have I never come across this totally killer food truck!!!??? We really like this place a lot. The Birria is sooo tasty! We are adding this to our "3" killer authentic Mexican food staple spots! YUMMO!!! come support this hard working family! Sorry.... no pics this time!“

“The food was excellent and well cooked. The drinks were delicious. The staff was very friendly. You can tell this place is loved by locals by how busy it was. Even our Uber driver said "good choice" when they saw where we were going.“

“If you haven’t tried the new Cantina Tacos, YOU ARE MISSING OUT. The flavor is great, and they even bless you with the courtesy of having a 13,000 pound African bush elephant or a Caterpillar Road Roller completely crush and flatten the tacos for you so when you open the wrapper, they are guaranteed to completely come apart in your lap and all over the floor. Don’t forget to ask for extra sauce to piece and glue the crumbs of your lunch back together. Five stars ONLY because of the professionalism and overall kind demeanor and helpfulness of the manager working at the window.“

“Yummy authentic Mexican food. Prices are a little above your typical, but the ENORMOUS proportions make up for it twice over. The burrito I ordered was larger than my forearm and was delicious. Easily two meals worth of food for the price of one.“
