Found this place near our hotel so stopped in late on a Friday The place was pretty empty so service was great - our waiter was Marcos. We split everything since I wasn't that hungry but really these portions were huge...even just for tacos. We settled on the three El, Pastor steak tacos, and chips and salsa with queso. Everything was extra good so even though this place was a bit pricey imo, it was worth it since you really get a lot. We got the Cadillac Margarita also to split and it was great too. read more

10 out of 10 would highly recommended, I lived out of state, and if I get the opportunity to visit Rochester again, this would be my first and only stop. The customer service is so lovely, my waiter Marco made me feel at home the owner was so sweet, you can tell he is really passionate about his restaurants. I got the Birria Raman, best I've ever had no lie, the birria had such amazing favor, not fatty meat, the Raman was cooked to perfection. Spicy mango margarita was the best I've had at any restaurant, the fruit was soaked in tequila. This is just a really fun restaurant with great service, amazing singers working behind the scenes with great food. read more

What a difference a year makes. I was disappointed this time in the service and the food. No one came around and asked if we needed refills on chips, salsa or even refilled my water. The fajitas didn't have much flavor and I didn't think was worth the $25.99 I paid for the portion. The salsa and chips were great flavor and wished I would have had more salsa to put on my fajitas. read more

Loved our service by Mr Eddie and team. The birria burrito, salsa and queso hit the spot as we visited for boys state baseball. They handled our group of 30+ with excellent service and the food blew us away!! Don't walk but run over and grab some outstanding Mexican food next time you're in the area! read more

Great service Good food Packed with happy patrons Ambiance is good Meals are filling and fulfilling read more

Love the atmosphere and decor. Service was great! Good was amazing. Quantity and quality were both equal! The only sad part which is minor is the guac. It was very acidic but no other flavor. Could use more salt and tomatoes & onion. Would definitely recommend though because the 7 seas seafood soup filled me up. I barely made a dent. The others couldn't finish their food because it was just that filling. read more

Eddie is a super star. He's always welcoming and he was the first and best with Birria in Rochester. Such a fun place to eat. The food is great, and it's always a treat to wear the sombreros when a birthday happens. read more

The food was really good. There were so many other items on the menu that looked really good as well, can't wait to go back. It felt like a traditional Mexican restaurant with all the typical decor and upbeat staff. It was very busy in there and I've heard that's a normal weekend evening. Yay for them! read more

Amazing amazing amazing food! Incredible staff - and the owner was the SWEETEST and came to the table to see how we were doing. I cannot stress enough how delicious the Birria Tacos were. You dip them in the most delicious broth ever and the insides start oozing cheese and tender shredded meat. The free chips, salsa - and FREE QUESO- was amazing too (I think the free queso is a lunch thing). My son loved the taco and fries kids meal- the meat was high quality and French fries were epic (and we might have dipped them in the queso!) We come to Mayo Clinic for care and this spot will always be on my must visit spots now! read more

Great service and food!!!Always the best Mexican food in Rochester.Love this place.Definitely a great family place.

Overall good. The salsa and chips were my favorite. The green salsa was great. The service was good and fast . The steak tacos were ok . The steak was kinda tough and overcooked but the flavors were ok . I'd like to return and try more on the menu . The vibe is very traditional. I'll be back read more

The best birria in Rochester. You can get it about six different ways, including traditional tacos, pizza, nachos, etc. It is so delicious. The staff is super friendly we had a large party and tried just about everything. Everyone left very full and happy! read more

Best thing about the place was the decor. Very festive. Loved the monarch butterflies that were painted on the ceiling. It is advertised as authentic Mexican food, but they must gear it towards the Midwestern pallet. It was good and nicely displayed, but I found the food rather bland. Also thought the portions smaller than most other Mexican restaurants in town. (The beans and rice part) I had the chicken chimichanga which was good and had plenty of chicken. Seemed to be grilled rather than fried so hopefully it cut down on calories. Very fast and friendly service. Wish I would have tried the flan. Looked delicious. read more

As always with Eddie the food was amazing. (Eddie)He also kept a close eye on things to make sure everyone was happy and taken care of. Queso with meat was amazing we also had the couples combo fajitas and the flan all amazing. The restaurant is reminiscent of the same decor in El Carambas! So colorful and I loved the added family flair and personalized touches. Excited to go back with the family. I know they will love it like we did. read more

Delicious food and great vibes! It's pretty pricey so that would be my only con. It's definitely a special occasion place vs a weekly visit. The food came quickly and the server was very attentive. read more

What a fun place! Looking ahead at the menu, I noticed lots of versions and variations of food with Birria meat, but the one item that stood out I haven't seen anywhere else was the BIRRIA PIZZA. Went in to place a takeout order of a Birria Pizza and was not disappointed!! This pizza had 3 tortilla layers + 2 beef layers + cheese which resulted in absolutely satisfying deliciousness! There was no searching for meat or cheese -- lots of both! -- and everything was balanced across every tortilla. Loved the acidic lime to balance the rich and savory flavors. My only comment about the pizza is about the radish garnishes -- the thick cuts were not pleasant on my palette (to be transparent: I have a like/hate radishes to begin with) but if they were sliced thinner (or swapped out daikon instead of the radish) I think that would be a better result for me personally. Absolutely will return! Delicious food and pleasant staff! 10/10 read more

Absolutely amazed after our first few bites - this has to be the most authentic and delicious Mexican food we've had in Rochester! Cal had birria nachos, and the plate was generous, beautifully presented, and tasty! I chose the tacos de la birria, and we both agreed that they were as good or better than tacos we've had in Mexico - The service was attentive but not smothering, and Anne made us feel like we were guests in someone's home...we thoroughly enjoyed our time here. The restaurant is on the smaller side, but we really liked that - it's bright and colorful, and seemed to be very clean. The music was loud enough to be enjoyed, but we were able to have a quiet conversation and enjoy ourselves. We love Mexican food, and this is sure to be a place that we visit often! Oh - we finished with flan - damned tasty! Great finish to a wonderful experience! read more

Great food great atmosphere I'm from Austin Texas area originally and Eddie is from El Paso Texas. Food reminds me of home. I think they have happy hour on drinks with food but no idea when it starts in afternoon. Epic food though. read more

Being used to getting great Mexican food in Mexico and Arizona, we were beyond disappointed when we moved to Rochester some 15 years ago. Eddie's is the FIRST sit down Mexican restaurant we found that meets our high standards for quality. We visit often and have never been disappointed. The chimichanga is deep fried, as it should be! The shredded beef and chicken are cooked and seasoned to perfection. All the sides, salsa and chips are also great! Treat yourself to the best Mexican and go to Eddie's. read more

The birria taco was absolutely amazing! Best burrito I think I've ever had! The chicken flautas were also very good! The birria tacos I wouldn't order again. Everyone was very nice, great service! read more

Eddie's Rey de la Birria - Birria burrito - Mexican Near Me - Rochester, Minnesota

We did not have a good first experience here and will have to try again to see of this was a one off!!

The food here is incredible. I ordered the birria ramen, and birria tacos and they are both so delicious. The consomé that comes with it is so rich and flavorful, I would drink it straight if I was alone, and it was so good I might do it anyway. I ordered this to go and even reheated, it's incredible. My brief interaction with the staff were great and they were so nice even though I was just in and out. I come to Rochester periodically and I am already strategizing to get back so I can have this again. read more

We tried this restaurant after hearing about the hype. It was average but better than most mexican restaurants in town. The food was under seasoned although the queso was great. The real disappointment was the birria. It lacks flavor and the quest birria tacos were so thin. I'm from the west coast where birria is everywhere, For the high prices, I definitely expected bigger tacos. The service and ambiance was great. No bakery items and $10 for tiny dessert. Ehh time to try Corona tacos. read more

We've met the owner and he is kind! I highly recommend this place! read more

We tried El Rey de la Birria today for lunch. The freshly made chips came with not only homemade salsa, but also queso and a tomatillo/jalapeño sauce. We both ordered the quesabirria tacos. Since it was Taco Tuesday, they gave us an extra taco. So delicious! The table was well attended to and the owner, Eddie, stopped by afterwards to check on things. We'll be back. read more
