Mexican Restaurants near Vadnais Heights

“Made a run for my son. He likes their burrito bowls. I gave them a lower score on atmosphere because they always have dirty tables. We used to own a DQ, so I know keeping the tables clean can be a challenge, but they need to try to improve on it“

“Great meal today while watching Vikings beat down the first half at Green Bay!
Our waitress was phenomenal, the food perfect and the atmosphere just what was needed to enjoy our time!

Parking: Can park in Burrito Mercado lot behind building, no time limit on Sundays for street parking. Please be careful for kids!!!“

“So I have drove by here at least 100 times in the last 2-3 months. I have wondered, I have mentioned it to the boyfriend, and I always kept going cause they looked so busy. Tonight we stopped!! It was so worth it, I thought I had ordered something other than what I got, (I did order what I got) but they offered to get me what I wanted to order, I'm so glad I said no I will eat this, (the Carnita Torta) it was amazing and so filling. I can not wait to try something else. Let me mention as well it was within an hour of closing and we were welcomed in as if they just opened. (That is so impressive these days.) Everyone was so kind and welcoming. The price was right, the food was amazing, and the service was so welcoming I felt like I had been going there for years, come to find out they just opened this past May 2022. Panchos really reminded me of a place I went to while in Cabo... Keep up the great work. We will be back sooner than you think cause they are open for breakfast too. If you haven't tried Panchos yet, stop what you are doing and go! Go for Breackfast, lunch or dinner! You will not be disappointed.“

“Delicious. Large portions, enough for two meals.“

“Found this restaurant randomly. Was taken by surprise by how fresh and hot the food came out. We enjoyed a carne asada burrito, birria tacos and carne asada fries. Definitely stopping by again. Staff was extremely kind, welcoming and attentive.“

“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“

“ordene 2 burritos uno de barbacoa y uno de carnitas los 2 muy ricos selos recomiendo“

“The food was fantastic and very reasonably priced. If you gonna go out definitely reccomend you try this place. 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Wow...what an IMPRESSIVE dining experience! It's been a long time since we have enjoyed a night out so much. Food 'Molcajete Mexicano' was packed full of flavor and Jorge (bar tender) who waited on us was EXCEPTIONALLY kind; made us feel more like family vs patrons. And the margarita 'Texas Jumbo' was super delish! All of the staff we encountered were incredibly gracious and prompt to respond to any request. We will be back! Bravo El Loro!“

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

“Best Margaritas - Very Friendly - Fabulous Food. We LOVE This Place!“

“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“

“Love this place! I always have a shredded beef dish of some sort. I know it's homemade as a couple of times I have found a bay leaf inside my burrito or taco. Good thing I always add a bit of salsa to my stuff and check. I love sitting at the bar and trying the 3 different salsas that are available as a help yourself buffet style along with delicious chips. Love the margaritas but now I am spoiled, I tried one with Milagro silver tequila on the rocks. It is excellent! The Columbia Heights locale is my favorite, and I have tried each of the others! I have yet to try the patio in the summertime, so I can't tell you about it. The stained glass windows are amazing! Busy bustling place! I love it! And the staff is excellent! If I want to change an option on the menu, the staff is very accommodating. I would give this place 5 stars! I always take family and friends to La Casita Mexican Restaurant - Columbia Heights, MN when they come to visit!“

“The almuerzos from Homi are delicious!“

“They asked for a tip when we ordered but they called us to get our food when it was ready, and they got very angry because we didn't clean up our table when we were done. When we told them that's why we tipped them, they told us not to come back.“

“GREAT food Nice people!!! Mmmm...“

“Food was excellent ! Prices were a little high but feel it’s 100000% justified considering every single thing is hand made. All the sauces, salsas, tortillas, etc. Had carnitas gorditas that were so light and airy, and red enchiladas with proper homemade sauce. Will definitely be back.

Parking: Maybe 12 spots“

“Delicious burritos and chips. the Pico is great as well.“

“Great food great staff great service“

“Loved the lunch buffet, they had a small variety of foods but definitely worth it for the price. I tried the green enchiladas, pozole, beef rolled flautas and caesar salad 🥗 very delicious!!!“

“Muy rica su comida recomendado sus meseras muy amables 👌“

“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!!“

“Very unique and authentic taste ! Fresh made and hometown feel. Definitely a 5 star !“

“Absolutely delicious food!“

“We came in late on a Friday and the staff were all very friendly and kind. They seated us quickly and took our orders fast and efficient. Our server Logan was top notch. He took some time to talk with us and make our night memorable. Food was great and exactly what we were looking forward to. Highly recommend!“

“Got a carnitas plate with a toasted jalapeño and onion bulb plus a tamarind Agua fresca. Dude the total was 16 and sum change. Thats wild and the food was pretty good. This gonna be one of my new spots. Insides are bit small with some seating arrangements but with adequate parking.“

“Always a great family restaurant very friendly staff amazing food every time love going here when we want authentic Mexican food very delicious highly recommend this restaurant for date night or family night it's always good food and great atmosphere!!!“

“I opted for the full-service option at the bar rather than using QR code. The bartender, Shannon was very friendly & made great recommendations for food and drinks. Who would have thought Mezcal would make such a delicious Bloody Mary!

Vegetarian options: It seems like almost every menu item is either already vegetarian or a vegetarian option is provided.“

“I had the supreme chicken burrito and it's the best I have had in a long time. The food was all so delicious. Even the complimentary chips and salsa we so good. I recommend this restaurant if you are craving some delicious Mexican food“

“Thank you for the burrito bowl at the backpack event at cedar field! So good!!! ♥“

“Loaded with meat. Generous with the hot sauce!“

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

“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!“

“Very good tacos. Super good customer service! 3.50 for any kind of taco. They have birria tacos, steak tacos, barbacoa tacos, chicken tacos. Can't wait for the summer menu to see what they have. The El pastor tacos were my favorite. Chicken tacos are made healthy , are low fat -and are tasty .i have not tried the birria tacos. They also have horchata drink and sometimes iced Tea Hisbiscus which is absolutely bomb for the summer. This is my new place to go for tacos. Add some beans and sour cream to the your order and it's a wrap! Also the do have FRESH Elote, which is corn on a stick ( like the state fair) with crema, spices, and cheese coated on it throughout. This place beats the Mexican places I went to on the West Side which were using frozen damaged corn.

Dietary restrictions: The way they do the chickentacos is very healthy and low fat from what I seen and tasted.“

“I came here for a girls' outing with some young ladies, and it was the perfect spot!

We started by ordering from the kiosk when we walked in, then waited at the table for our number to be called. The food came out quickly and was packed with flavor. There’s also a salsa bar—the onions, jalapeños, and cucumbers were delicious and spicy!

I wanted to try everything, so we ordered a variety of items from the menu.

I’ll definitely be back for the chicharrón botanero, which came with pinto beans, guacamole, and queso!

We also ordered churro bites, plátanos fritos, a machete (swapped with chicken instead of carne), quesabirrias, a bowl, mesquite, and aguas frescas—horchata.“

“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.“

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

“The best tacos. Love this place!“

“Best Nachos around.“

“Riquísimos los tacos y el menudo. El servicio de primera muy amables. Recomiendo este lugar“

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

“The service is amazing and the food is so delicious! I love the ham torta sandwich. :) Definitely check them out!“

“My husband is so picky with all foods, but this he is happy with.. the cheese enchiladas. I had taco salad and whoever was the cook (female) was awesome. The chicken in my salad was so tasty! And tender not dry. My only wish is that the beans could be thicker, not to runny!“

“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.“
