I've been there several times in the past couple of years. It's never been super authentic food,…read morebut it's always been decent and the service has been good. Today's visit was a letdown on both fronts: service and food. The service was cold and slow, without the place being crowded as we beat the lunch rush. The food? If you like bland food that was lukewarm-to-cold, then you'd love it. I prefer food with some flavor, and I'm very sorry to say today's meals had no flavor. On top of that, the portion sizes have shrunk. I ordered a burrito and it was the size of a taco at most places. I can't see a reason to go back unless I hear things have changed.

Well, well, well, what a day it was. Been 6 years since we last visited. We figured we would give…read moreit another try and see if it has improved and boy they did not disappoint. What's different being seated was they use to have bottled hot sauces on the table which are no longer there, they don't even have them to ask for, but they do have a hotter salsa for a $2 charge. Yes it was tasty and yes it was hot but not sure I will pay $2 for it again I will just bring my bottle of hot sauce I usually carry in the car and put it in their regular salsa. Only needs more heat for us flavor was good it has cilantro but doesn't overwhelm it. The complimentary chips were warm and really thin, wonderful. We ordered enchilada platters, I ordered three cheese and was so pleasantly surprised I didn't have to cut red sauce and add queso it was already on it.. plus.. plus.. I substituted the beans for another rice and they did... the cheese enchiladas were so good and filled with a cheese blend so flavorful, the rice was presented so pretty on the plate not in the usual pile, and so very, very good, finally I can say that the rice would be like their grandma would prepare at home with love. Best plates of Mexican food we have had anywhere even from down south with the exception of Pedro's in Duluth. Hubby ordered all beef enchiladas his had queso on top as well, he said it was wonderful full of ground beef seasoned perfectly with onions and bell peppers, he had beans and rice, beans were very good, I wish I would have gotten them now too, they were not just watery goop on the plate they where actual refried chunky beans with flavor. Very friendly waiter quick to be seated, received our drinks took orders and within 15 minutes had our food, we even got drink refills without asking. I hope this is an example of how it is every day because we are excited to go back.

Very happy to find quality Mexican this far north. Mexican ranch dressing was very good. The sauce over the Chimmy was also excellent. It's was a creamy rich flavorful sauce. Will definitely return.

There is not a lot of spice or seasoning involved and their hottest sauce is not quite as hot as Whataburger ketchup. The people here love it and it is always busy.

They quickly replied no and said they would not help me to look. I called again and they prompltly hung up on me. I was being very civil although frustrated. I drove all the way back to el loro in DL, parted the booths that were where I sat, found my ID and debit card on the ground with a bunch of crushed chips. I told the waitress that this is my stuff I had called about. She did a quick sorry and kept walking by. Not only does this mean they don't clean under booth tables, this means they didn't care enough to help me look for my important items. I expect better from a restaurant.

Now I think they're a traveling treat which I'm fine with because I'm about to enjoy some locally at the State Fair! These tacos come in a great fried bread bowl - not quite a regular crispy taco shell bowl - and that's the real kicker. It's deep fried and savory and greasy and crunchy... good lord. Just the best. The toppings have always been fresh for me and the portion sizes are impressive as well! But my favorite thing is that I've now seen that they have a vegetarian bowl with beans instead of meat! Can't wait to try it! Do yourself a favor and indulge in this Minnesotan classic!
