Another late to the game place. This is my first Centro experience. Great service from Tia. It was 2:45 and cheap bastard that I am told her we wanted to wait til 3 for the HH guacamole and chips. I loved the chips salted just right and not hard on your teeth. The guac was a solid mass and needed to be a little creamier. So we got our meals first. Basil raved about the burrito with added shrimp. I ordered a beef taco and they fry their own corn tortilla which makes it so delicious that I ordered another one that comes out piping hot. I only eat hard shell tacos, so I'm grateful that they have this as well as the softies. We both got hibiscus lemonade. She warned us it was sweet. I said that's right up my alley. This drink was made created with me in mind. Anyone who says anything is too sweet needs to be barred. As for the decor they gutted the place with a complete remodel. There are 4 roomy individual bathrooms up front. There are many high tops, but a good lay out in general. The patio looks great. We enjoyed having a chat with Owen the manager and he appreciated our feedback. We got some big ol' brown butter chocolate chip cookies for later. read more

I've been to a different location before but decided to come here since it's closer. I actually really like the self seating and ordering process myself since it's really simple and easy. We got our drinks pretty quickly and we both got the birria crunch. Everything came out pretty quickly as it wasn't busy and we really generally liked it but I'm gonna be honest, the consume was pretty bland and I was really grateful for the complimentary hot sauces at the table. The team was extremely nice and took our empty plates super quickly, definitely would come back to try other Crunch. The place overall is super cute and I love the art. read more

I personally went on a Saturday night at around 9:20pm. The parking around the restaurant is very sparse when it is busy so you will most likely have to park on a side street. The food makes the walk worth it! The service was very fast for ordering through a QR code. I do believe they allow you to order face to face if you do not want to do an online menu, but the online menu was very quick and handy! Very Nice!! read more

Centro - Chips and Queso, Salsa Verde, and a Squash Taco! - Mexican Near Me - Roseville, Minnesota

Service was great, ambiance was nice, good beer and cocktail selection. Braised beef tacos and quac were delicious. Salsa left something to be desired, server was nice enough to let us try them all, but we didn't care for them. The queso was fine, but please...pickled purple onions don't belong, also, needed more jalapeños. PS: chips were fantastic! read more

Centro - Mexican Near Me - Roseville, Minnesota

The overall experience was lacking. The wait staff never checks in after delivery the food, since you add the tip at the time of ordering I understand they have no incentive to check in! Chorizo taco was (putting it nicely) was disgusting. It tasted like "sloppy Joe" on a corn tortilla. The crunch wrap was dry and overall not appetizing. Beef taco was soggy with absolutely no flavor. Chicken Guajillo taco was edible. The only edible taco of my trio order. I think the salsa selection at most taco bars drastically changes the taco experience. The salsa at this restaurant was bland and flavorless. Salsa also do not come with your order which I found particularly odd at a taco bar. All the taco fillings are lukewarm and can tell that they are just sitting in a chaffing table. I would definitely recommend a different place for tacos. read more

I wish Centro was nationwide, the service was great, the trio dipper was tasty, I had the birria crunch (which I highly recommend), and the atmosphere is so fun and high-energy! read more

Went here because we had a bad experience at a place close by. Was highly disappointed here as well. We sat down and started looking at the menu. They brought us waters and told us we could order on our phones or from them and all we had to do was flip the sign. We decided to order from them since we wanted a margarita and had to show them our id anyways. We flipped the sign and waited 20 minutes as our "server" rushed by us to bring other tables water, etc. not looking at the sign he told us to use. This place was not busy at all, maybe 3 tables of people total. My daughter was freaking out because she is 2 and doesn't have a long attention span. I finally said excuse me as he was rushing by us again and completely got ignored. He didn't check in with us the whole 20 minutes we were waiting, rushed past us, and didn't look at the sign we were supposed to use. We all got up as my daughter was screaming and left. Not one staff member we passed on the way out said anything to us. Won't be going back here. The tacos are $5-$6 a piece anyway. read more

Prices: High Food: Bland Service: Nonexistent Ambience: Disco + Sportsbar, loud and distracting Chips and salsa. Free at every mexican resturant I've ever been to. 6$ at this place. Again, bad, inauthentic food, at a crazy price. Go to la casita if you want good Mexican. read more

A sign was posted in the vestibule to find your own table and order using a QR code, order at the bar, or order at the kiosk (it was out of order). It was strange and felt unwelcoming not to be greeted at the door or at your table. No water is brought to you. I needed to ask for water when the food was delivered to me. I wanted to order a horchata without ice but couldn't make that request using the QR code ordering system. I skipped it. The food came fast. I had a beef Centro crunch. It was lukewarm and nothing special. Salsa is extra if you want that. My dining partner was happy with her chicken Centro crunch. I had a pumpkin cookie with frosting which was large and a little cake like. The frosting had crunchy, sugar crystals that were not blended well. It had a great flavor just not the correct smoothness of frosting. I'm not a fan of only getting service when food is quickly dropped off. A simple greeting goes a long which there wasn't. I won't be back. read more

Looks super cute inside, went for me and my bf anniversary and got a meal each and spend $75 not including tip for the food to not be that good at all.... Save your money and go to an authentic Mexican restaurant they give you good service and are way more affordable! read more

I wouldn't say that my experience at Centro was terrible, but it wasn't great either. Whoever came up with the concept for this place is hell bent on spending the least amount of money to give you the cheapest experience when dining out whilst extracting the maximum amount of money from the diners. My husband and I walked into the restaurant in Roseville; nobody greeted us at the door, which is fine. I understand. Staffing lightly on a super windy, freezing cold Wednesday night makes total sense. We seated ourselves after the bar staff told us to sit anywhere. No menus, either; this is a QR code at the table sort of joint, which again, I guess that I understand? That seems to be a thing amongst the newer generations of restaurants after the pandemic. Nobody comes to take your order or greets you. Okay, got it. So here is where things get a little off the rails. The bar staff told us to get our own water from the "water station". Okaaaay. We were then instructed to place our orders online on our phones. Okaaay. I order a plate of enchiladas and a margherita. You add your order to your "cart" and are then asked to pay immediately, and TIP. FOR WHAT? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR ME? I seated myself and greeted myself, got my own water, placed my own order, and now you want me to TIP and I haven't even eaten anything yet? I said to my husband that I was completely unimpressed so far, but perhaps the food would be worth it. Let me just tell you, it wasn't. Completely lack luster. Tiny portions. Absolutely bland sauces. Stingy applications of cheese and sauces, and you have to pay extra for everything. My chicken enchiladas was lukewarm, with no sauces inside the enchilada resulting in the whitest of white person's enchiladas, which I feel like I can say, because I'm white. I was embarrassed for them. The plating presentation was nice, I guess. I paid $30 for a plate of boring, bland, flavorless enchiladas and a margherita. The margherita was actually pretty good, but tiny and served in a low ball glass; for $12, that thing should have been twice the size that it was. I would love to be able to say that the atmosphere is something to enjoy, but I can't. The booths are hard planks of cheap wood that look like some house flipper had leftover material from some DIYer project that they banged together. Cheap plastic everywhere with cheap decorations, droning, uncomfortable music playing, and when I walked in, a special surprise on the TV: two women wrestling each other in WWF wrestling, one of them holding the other lady's head by her hair and slamming her face against something while blood poured out of her face and flew everywhere! Super appetizing. I do NOT recommend this restaurant. To anyone. read more

Yeah, as lots of reviewers say, the food was good but... When you tip at the time of your order, on your phone, you assume a certain level of service. I'm disappointed that I paid $100 for a pitcher of margaritas for the table, my crunchwrap (which WAS good), and an appetizer or two to share, ...and then I bussed my dirty trays when we were done eating, got waters for my table, and got to go boxes for everyone's leftovers at my table. It's a very do-it- yourself vibe, so I don't know how I feel about tipping 20%, which is my standard. I'll think twice next time I'm there. read more

$3.79 for a can of coke. cashless so stupid. Food is so so not worth the price. I would go down the street to la Tapatia

If you want to pay high prices to order from a QR code, get your own water and have to go to the bar for ice then you might enjoy it. No one checks after they deliver your meal if things are ok ; you have to chase someone down or wave your arms for attention . Tacos were watery and the taco salad had just a small serving of tortilla strips. I won't be back . I felt like I was working. read more

Ordered online and went there 1 hr after that and still had to wait. After waiting there for 15 minutes I ask about the order was told its on its way. then a staff member came up to me and told me they were out of what I ordered so I was lied to when I was told it was being made. Then whatever I was given was really BAD. So, save a trip its bad food and service. read more

Trash, not trying to sound harsh but it's trash. They want a tip before you get any service, the food was super mediocre, and once food is delivered you'll never see a server after. Only good thing is the atmosphere. read more

Food was pretty good. Other than that you have to pay and tip before you get your food. Minimal customer service. If they forget something on your order you have to hunt someone down to try and fix it. Way over priced. Won't be going back. read more

The Roseville location needs to work on providing overflow parking. My spouse was waiting for me inside at a nice patio table while I circled to find a place to park. The nearby business' parking lots were clearly signed to not park in their lots and the nearby Applebees had a group of staff outside waving cars by. We ending up leaving. Not a good first impression. read more

Just meh, across the board. Too expensive to not have the option of ordering with a waiter or waitress. All of the food is fine, but nothing was remarkable. Our party said that several items were only marginally better than fast food. Interior was cool. Preloaded 20% tip when you have to get your own water is laughable. Won't be back. read more

The first thing I noticed as I walked in was the very loud music. I was there to eat dinner with 5 friends. I was surprised that one either orders via one's phone or goes to the host stand to order and pay in person, with the tip requested before any service is received. The food was delivered to our table in a friendly manner. I ordered from the list of "NOT TACOS." I really liked my Elote - corn on the cob with tiny bits of cheese stuck to it. I ordered the Burrito, without pico de gallo because I don't like any more than mildly spicy. It was good, would probably have been more tasty with the part I left out. The food was reasonably priced, but my glass of lemonade was $5.50, which seemed high. The most outstanding feature was the volume of the music. It was very hard to hear the people across the table from me. read more

Had a late lunch on a Thursday with a friend. While the food was delicious, the dining experience itself was less than pleasant. We seated ourselves at the only available booth, which had not yet been cleared and cleaned. We placed our orders at the front desk, paid (and were asked to tip...for what?), got our own water, and returned to the booth. It still had not been cleared or cleaned. The bartender brought our drinks and served them, leaving the piles of dirty dishes. We gathered and stacked them and set them on another empty table. We took disinfectant wipes from our purses and wiped down the table. The dirty dishes sat piled on the other table the entire time we were eating. Maybe they were short staffed that day... or maybe it's this way all the time? Have had much better service/assistance and dining experience at the Highland Centro location. No desire to return to the Roseville location at the present time. read more
