I love the tacos de al pastor! Best ones I’ve ever had in MN!! Very clean, very nice staff and we got our food quick too. Food was absolutely delicious with the guacamole and green salsa. Their agua de jamaica was super tasty too! Will definitely come again soon

We found this place through Google. It was a last-minute plan. The food was freshly made and warm. Service was good. The staff was friendly too. The establishment is clean. Here is what we ordered: wet burrito, taco, and fried rolled flour burrito wrap. My husband said the taco tasted really good. ****UPDATE as of 1/17/25 My husband & I went back to the restaurant with our 3 kids. The food was warm and still delicious. It was a quiet Thursday evening, and we liked having the whole place to ourselves.

My family is originally from Zacatecas and it’s tough to find delicious tacos. This place tastes like home! I would highly recommend this place out of all the places in the cities.

I went here because it had great reviews. I had high expectations and was very picky about Mexican food because I wanted it to be authentic. I want to say this place probably has the best Mexican food I have tried in MN. If you know a better place, send it to me. They have al pastor en trompo which is rare to find. The asada tacos were delicious, and the sopes, which are also rare to find, were great. I took some pictures and videos. It is not a fancy place but is perfect for some tacos. I hope they are consistent and that they are ad good when I come back.

This place was a 10/10 for me. I am pretty picky with places and how they make food. I always try the Al pastor first as it is my favorite and if you can’t get that right in my books you’re not on my top list. I got the torta al pastor and one al pastor taco. The meat didn’t have cheap cuts, had a great flavor, the tortillas are fresh yellow corn tortillas, and the torta was wrapped AS IT SHOULD BE everywhere! The salsas were so good, and the place had a nice vibe to it. I will be coming back! I hope they don’t lose their touch throughout the years like other places do.

My party stopped in for an impromptu early dinner & I am so glad we discovered this place. With summertime road construction it can be a little inconvenient to get to, but please don’t let that detour you from stopping in. Al-Pastor is delicious, Asada & Tinga are not far behind. Stellar service & such a clean place. We got 4 tacos & 2 tostadas for under 25. Try this place!

Holy crap!!! We ended up here on a whim. I have been around the block and know my way around some street tacos, but this absolutely blew my mind. I will definitely be back!! I had the Al Pastor and Carne Asada tacos!!
