“We got the fish and birria tacos with a side of beans. 10/10 recommend! Food was delicious and prepared fresh. The only downside to the restaurant is the limited seating - because they are so popular you might need to wait for a table like we did. However, it’s totally worth it. We loved the food and can’t wait to visit again next time we’re in town. Friendly staff, too! ?♥️Dietary restrictions: They offer fish/shrimp tacos here that are SO GOOD for folks who do not eat meat. Yum!!“
“I have heard really good reviews from the locals about this place and decided to try it today when my sister visit my new home. The service made me almost write this amazing review before I ate the food but I’m SO GLAD I ate it before the review. The food is incredible. I got the barria dunked tacos and they were so much better than I could have imagined after seeing them blow up on the internet. My husband got the big AZ burrito and said it was seductive lol. Vinny helped me behind the counter and made sure our first experience was gonna make it so we keep coming back. So thankful to have this be the closest restaurant to my place!!!! All the employees smiled and were amazing! Can’t wait to get it again!“
“I am a lover of tacos, and I loved these El Jefe's Tacos. The tortilla in the way it is prepared for heating and cooking the meats plus the rooms and the presentation, only when I saw them I knew they were going to sing to me. And after the first bite I confirm that they are excellent tacos, and so is the service. ??“
“I'm so glad I found this establishment due to Restaurant Week - We already can't wait to return! We loved our food - the flavors were amazing! Staff was so friendly! Service was top notch! The birria was sooo tasty - and we loved the Mocktails! Best churros in town!“
“Amazing neighborhood hidden gem! Met the owner Javier, such an amazing man - the restaurants food was outstanding, service was outstanding! I definitely recommend the steak tacos w/avocado salsa -so good!Such friendly and nice staff- I accidentally left a small bag when leaving (there’s so much food and such huge portions couldn’t carry it all) and they literally ran out the door and all the way down the parking lot to catch me before leaving- and then they were so kind and polite about it while making sure I had everything! Completely recommend 10/10 !! If you go definitely meet the owner- you won’t be disappointed, one of the kindest and sweetest people I’ve met since moving back to Minneapolis!Our family will be back very often!“
“Voted the best burger in the cities, the Mac & Cheese with chicken is my absolute favorite. But the chicken teriyaki bowl is incredible also!! Don’t get me started on the desserts, the cookies, I can’t leave without grabbing one of those. The best you will find!Basically pick anything on the menu and you will love it!“
“Phenomenal little joint! Was at a work conference and 3 of us went here for lunch all 3 days...menu is THAT packed with interesting offerings...and it's literally 20 feet from the train stop. The armadillo eggs were the best thing any of us ate all week. The sunnies (fried SUNFISH?! ) and fries were excellent but the steak and chimichurri sandwich was absolutely stellar! The birthday cake slice in a milkshake was spot on and had REAL whipped cream all over it. Burgers were a hit too!“
“I've been insanely impressed by this place - tacos, birria, queso, tamales and more have all been amazing. Unfortunately I've been let down by some bad Mexican food in Minneapolis, but Charrito Lindo did not disappoint. Can't recommend highly enough“

“A friend and I visited on 4/20 and enjoyed the Carne Asada con Camarones, as well as margaritas. The drinks leaned a little sweet but they were fine margs. The food was phenomenal—hands down one of my favorite food experiences in Minneapolis. My friend said it was like a good home cooked meal; I have to agree. Filling, tasty, and comforting.“
“This place hit the nail on the head. Some authentic choices and some americanized favorites. Their hot sauce bar was great and had a lot of selections. The chip warmer machine was also quite interesting. The staff was nice and efficient. Would recommend“
“Oh my gosh! This is absolutely my favorite Taco place. I ordered the Quesabirria and it was to die for! The quality was high and the price was reasonable. The juice to dip it in was delicious as well.Service was quick, and there was no wait to order. Plenty of seating and it certainly looks like an authentic Mexican restaurant - good food with mediocre decor. I will absolutely be back! Weekly?! We’ll see!“
“Loved it!! Got the fried avocado tacos, and almost started crying with how good they tasted.Only complaint was it was very loud in the dining room, making it hard to talk at times, but overall loved the atmosphere and wait staff were very kind and helpful!“
“This taco truck has delicious food! The tacos, burritos, elote, quesadillas and rice and beans are all so yummy! I'm sure everything on the menu is great! I usually call ahead and pick up our food. The staff is always so nice and friendly! I wish I lived closer!“
“This review is about an online delivery order, catering order, and restaurant. I first discovered this restaurant because I was craving Mexican food, and it had really good reviews. I ordered a variety of tacos for delivery, and they were delicious! It reminded me of my abuelita's (grandma's) food when I was a child. Authentic tacos are not big, so order at least 3 or 4. Regarding the catering order, we decided to host a Super Bowl party and didn't feel like cooking for 30 people. The first thing to come to my mind was Tacos el Kevin. I called the restaurant and spoke to Armando. Armando and I collaborated on the order, and we decided to have chicken, steak, and pork tacos. The order included the taco meat, salsa in individual containers, grilled onions, cilantro, grilled jalapeno peppers, pinto beans, rice, and fresh corn tortillas I went to pick up the order a few hours before the game, and Armando made sure everything was ready to go. Please note that they were kind enough to help load the food in the SUV. At the party, everyone loved the food and asked where the tacos came from. I happily said, "Tacos el Kevin!" This last part is about the restaurant. There are approximately 7/8 parking spots, so plan on using off-street parking or an Uber. The restaurant is bigger than you think on the inside and has a small market. The food and items from the market are paid for at the front counter. The staff is very friendly so don't be afraid to order some food and find an open table. Bravo to Tacos el Kevin!“
“okay so overall the food was delicious. i got the burrito and it was solid. no real complaints there. the yuca fries also delicious and not too greasy, perfectly crispy. the guac was so fresh and so were the salsas. my only complaint was the guava margarita. mind you i’ve been craving a guava margarita for MONTHS now so my hopes were high. but this one really missed the mark for me. it wasn’t guava-y enough and generally just tasted kinda watered down. (though you can note in my photo that i did drink all of it so it wasn’t unbearable—but truly who can say no to a margarita) it just needed something to take it up a notch.overall a great choice and they were super accommodating for our large group and the service was so speedy.“
“I've had plenty of different taco spots but none can compare to this one! Favorite tacos ever, if I can't have these tacos I don't want them!!!Parking: Always have parking!! Sometimes it can be a little busy but it's worth it!“
“This food truck has great food and conveniently located off 42nd Street. There always busy, you can pre-order and pickup as well. Ambiance 4/5 Food truck is conveniently located outside right off 42nd. It's right next to a liquor store if your so inclined to grab drinks and food to go! I always felt safe, never any sketchy business happening. Outside of the traffic, it's a pretty quiet area even in the Summer. Food 5/5 Have lots of options. I ordered the melons, Elotes, drink, and rice and beans. Cost 5/5 Altogether I paid about $15 Service 5/5 Always friendly and helpful when providing a drink carrier. I was informed they take preorders which was nice to know! Overall 5/5 great place if your in the area and on the go!“
“I made an impulse stop at the Central Ave location when I was running errands in the area a few months ago. Everything is so good...the ingredients are fresh, and the service is always super fast. I've been back several more times and am always impressed.“
“Amazing burrito bowls!!!! Food was amazing and staff was so friendly and accommodating. I attended with a group of four girls, and there was a homeless person outside who was slightly bothering us. The staff made sure to stay outside and make sure everything was ok! They offered great menu recommendations as well. I’m not from the area but would be come back here 100%!!! Five stars. ?“
“Service is always fantastic and the bartenders take great care of us each time we visit! Food always comes out within minutes, the fastest I’ve ever experienced!Dietary restrictions: Services always accommodate my gluten and dairy allergy!“
“Excelente atención agradable ambiente...

“I go here regularly and its very good, but sometimes takes a little while (which is fine by me). I've really enjoyed their chilaquiles (both red and green are great) and the quesadilla de masa (big handmade masa tortilla stuffed with the goods). Cecina is probably my favorite filling/protein here. For tacos I prefer their truck but if I get em here the asada or al pastor are solid and dependable. al pastor is not cooked on trompo (not much in MN is) but still tasty. Definitely my favorite mexican food south of Lake Street (their og Lake and Blazedale truck is the best for tacos).“
“Great food served quickly. Lively atmosphere with an eclectic mix of customers. Beer available but still family-friendly. I had the chile rellenos platter and my son had chicken enchiladas, and both were great. Convenient to the Willow Creek Cinema. We'll be back.“
“I am always on the lookout for good Tacos. Pinged my buddy for any good ones he knew and he sent me to El Tacotorro and I was not disappointed! I got three tacos, Pastor, Pollo, y Carne all fresh, hot and delicious. Que bueno El Tacotorro, que bueno!“
“As a chef for 15 years already. I decided to finally try it lived near it for almost 7 years and was like I wonder if it’s any good.. seeing that it’s always busy I was like let’s try it out now I went on taco Tuesday night which apon walking into the restaurant it was really packed they found myself and my friend a low table as asked for the nice sweet heart of a server greeted us warmly calmed my nerves about my food allergies soy nuts ect and I told her that the cook that makes my meal is gonna get feed back because I love what I do and I love teaching others even in advice so myself I ordered the Baja fish taco and the Al pastor two of my favorites actually and was super impressed by the crunch for the breading around the fish and the flavor which was top notch in my opinion like 10/10 that person in the back knew what they were doing the Al pastor was again 9.5 out of 10 the only thing I would of liked is a lil spice . My friend had the steak and the Baja fish and I tried his steak spices and the taste are so delicious. So would I recommend this place yes it’s so worth it . Sure some of the menu was a little bit pricey but you can’t go wrong with 2.75 taco night as a cheap date night or just a meal in general.“
“Well seasoned. Meat was a little dry but the marination was top notch. Tacos held together well, there was an average amount of meat for the price, mild salsa was stellar and the limes weren't too dry. I kept looking at my takeout box on the drive back home because it smelled so good.This is not inside the gas station as Google might make you believe. This is a truck to the side. Signage could be more visible.There is one bench and one table in the area. Very much a takeout place. I would come here more often when I'm in the area.“
“The birria ramen is in a class by itself. I dined at the Uptown location and the food was excellent and the service was great. Even with a language barrier we worked it out! Good service is at an all-time low so it was refreshing to be treated w such kindness and consideration. Thanks and we'll be back!“
