35 Best Mexican Restaurants in Saint Paul

“Service can be spotty. Our server forgot our app sampler and bought it at the end. Everyone makes mistakes but they should have comped part of the cost of the late apps without being asked. We were literally done eating the entree and had to box it.“

“My sister and I had lunch. We had the greatest waiter. Jordan. He was fun, attentive and had great drink and food suggestions. Even though he was by himself and ended up getting super busy, his warm personality still shined through. Great variety of foods on the menu“

“very good, authentic. very friendly service! #tacos #burritos #goodfood #localeats“

“Great place to hang out before your flight! Andy is a fantastic bartender. Shrimp tacos were excellent.“

“My favorite restaurant for authentic Mexican food and margaritas“

“Finding a late-night taco option for our wedding was way harder than I expected! After months of calls and emails with tons of taco trucks and taco bars, we finally found Lulu’s Salsa—and they ended up being an amazing choice!

I have Celiac disease, so finding someone who could accommodate gluten-free needs was a top priority. Lulu’s Salsa worked with us to make sure everything was safe for me to eat, which I so appreciated.

I stopped by one day after work to try some tacos, planning to just grab one chicken and one beef taco to share with my husband. While I was there, I saw a birria quesadilla on the menu and decided to grab that too. Lulu’s Salsa actually covered the tacos as a trial, which was such a thoughtful gesture! We also got to sample all their salsas—everything was absolutely delicious. Truly 10/10 tacos!

For our wedding, we went with ground beef and shredded chicken tacos (with all the toppings included), plus trays of Spanish rice, chips, and guacamole. We ordered 150 tacos total, and the pricing was incredible—all of that for under $700! Every other vendor we got quotes from was between $900 and $1,600, so this was such a win for us.

The only hiccup was on the day-of timing. We had planned for tacos to arrive at 9:00 p.m., but they didn’t get there until around 9:36 p.m. I had guests asking where the tacos were, and I ended up having to step off the dance floor to call and check in. It all worked out in the end, but I’d recommend they ask for a “day-of contact” for future weddings so someone other than the bride or groom can handle those details.

Overall, though, Lulu’s Salsa was wonderful to work with, and their food was outstanding. If you’re looking for delicious, affordable tacos for your event—especially if you have dietary restrictions—they’re 100% worth checking out! 🌮💃“

“We were visiting from St Louis & stopped in one afternoon for a drink & guacamole. The guac is homemade; SO delicious & with homemade chips! We decided to return the next day for lunch. This time we had the tacos. Again, plentiful meat with the most delicious tasteful toppings. We were fortunate to have the same waiter, Tony. He’s definitely an asset to the restaurant. Very attentive & personable. Highly recommend this gem in St Paul!!“

“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!“

“Great food great staff great service“

“El mejor lugar para comer comida Mexicana. 100% recomendable.“

“The most authentic food in the area and its delicious. unfortunwtly the last couple of times they have screwed us over with the bill. last time they charged me $10.00 for an horchata. tonight I ordered a pozole $16.99 and classic plate $17.99 =34.98 plus 2.91 from taxes should of been$37.89 but they charged me $42.82. It not a lot but it simply shouldn't happen“

“My husband & I spent the majority of our lives in So Cal & Arizona. We were fortunate enough to have some of the best mexican food in the US, with the culture weaved into our daily lives. Moving to WI, we struggled to find the same. We finally found an authentic mexican restaurant. The food was so good & the staff was friendly & attentive. I am so willing to drive the 30 mins it took us to get there. Thank you for the great food!!“

“love the food. love the chili. love the service. tacos for sure.“

“Good sea food❤️❤️❤️ Muy buena la comida de mariscos❤️❤️“

“My human gets out of the car and goes to the truck. She comes back with a plastic disk and then we sit there for a while. The disk buzzes and flashes and the my human goes back to the truck and comes back with the best food ever. I don’t get to eat the goat tacos because they give me the midnight poops but the chicken quesadilla is the best.“

“Good food if served hot right away. Never got my drink as ordered (need to update menu if not available) so I just drank water. Only 1 wait staff on the floor taking orders and had a food runner delivering to the table. Atmosphere wasn't what I expected. Limited parking.“

“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!“

“The best tacos. Love this place!“

“There are a lot of options for good Mexican food in the twin cities. Habanero has some of the best. Highlights? Breakfast burritos. Pozole. Full bar. Bogo tacos on Tuesdays. They support their community in ways like providing gift cards for fundraisers. For parents: they have two big, clean bathrooms, one with a changing table. They are right next door to michoacana, where your kids’ minds will be blown when they seen the technicolor array of dessert options.“

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

“Great food and good prices. the service is great.“

“This place rules! Beats the crap out of Chipotle. The freshest ingredients, the best ghost pepper sauce on the planet, seriously their food is amazing.“

“The Best Spicy Red salsa Green Salsa and Guacamole. I mixed them together! All the food is amazing!“

“Extremely competitively priced. Talking old school chipotle pricing here. I went really late I’m glad they are open so late so the following did not bother me much. There was 1 cook and 1 young kid like 16 years old so far behind it was sad and it took awhile to get my food. But it was worth the wait and the store was clean. This is just chipotle on steroids! I’d invest if it was publicly traded.“

“Amazingly delicious and fresh made daily! 😍😍“

“I eat at Zantigo, maybe once or twice a month. The food is always hit or miss.
The employees are usually pleasant, some more than others.
However, on my most recent visit, I encountered an employee that was VERY helpful. I had a bunch of special requests, that he made sure were done correctly. His name was Shawn, and if I had to deal with anyone there, I would choose him. Also, the other gentleman working the food line (there were only Shawn and the other guy) , and I'm bummed because his name escapes me, ALSO made sure that my order was done correctly, BECAUSE of my special requests.
Kudos to those two cats!“
