The best Mexican food I have ever had in my life, It was truly so good. Phone did not eat first…read more Food and Drink - We started with the chips and guac and the guacamole was outstanding. The onions and tomato that were chopped up in it were so satifyingly chopped I really enjoyed, it was nice and cold too. I got the quesabirria tacos for my meal and they were out of this world, I seriously think I inhaled them and have been thinking about them ever since. We were drinking Pina Coloadas and it made me feel like I was on the beaches of Mexico. Service - There was one server working on a busy Friday night and she killed it; she was attentive and remembered everything whilst also being the bartender too!!! Ambience - it is colorful and bright in there and just almost nostalgic. There is a chipotle style line at the front if you want to just grab something quick and full service in the back of the building, cannot wait to go back.

The food is very good. Yelp should do a better job of updating though. Maya has not had the weekend…read morebuffet service for years now.

While in town, we stopped by here for a quick lunch. It was busy inside - they have tables inside…read moreas well as some seating upstairs. The service was good and our waiter was attentive to us. We got our food pretty quickly. I got the snapper ceviche and a grilled shrimp taco. The ceviche comes with some chips which were nicely crispy and salty. The ceviche was just okay to me, a lot of it felt like mush. I prefer big chunks of fresh citrusy fish and it seemed like there were a lot of other ingredients in there. The taco was pretty good, I liked the shrimp inside. Decent meal and good service if you're looking for some food in the downtown area!

Both were good, I would definitely recommend the carne asada. We also got chips and guac. The guacamole had a strong lime taste and was so unbelievably delicious, I would go back just for the guac. There is a small parking lot in front of the restaurant and a ton of street parking. The staff were very nice and helpful. We ordered at the kiosk and they brought our food to our table. It looked like the bartender also waits on the tables in the back. There's a section of the restaurant that's a bit loud, but we easily found a spot to sit in a quieter area.

The food is pretty decent. I lived in Querétaro, Mexico, and spent 8 years in Phoenix, so I know…read morethe difference between authentic and Americanized Mexican food; this is firmly the latter. It's a bit whitewashed and leans more Cal-Mex than anything you'd find in Mexico, but I'm not complaining. I love a good California burrito and asada fries, so this style has its place (especially in Minnesota). Service can be slow. It took us about an hour to get two burritos yesterday and the restaurant didn't look busy. Maybe they were just short staffed. My main issue is the salsa. They limit you to one packet per person, and it's not the slightest bit spicy. And where are the limes? This place desperately needs a salsa bar with real options and some heat. Bump up the salsa selection and stop rationing it, and this would be a solid spot. For now, I'll keep getting this to go and buying my own salsa and limes.

Really this is probably a 4.5 star place, but I rounded up because the staff was so friendly…read more We went there for brunch a couple of weeks ago, and we were all impressed with our selections. The tamales were amazing, the al pastor was excellent, but we all agreed the chilaquiles was the best entree we tried. Be warned, ALL of the entrees were HUGE. The chilaquiles were clearly enough to feed two adults, as was the huevos rancheros. In retrospect, we should have maybe ordered three entrees for four people. Oh, and don't skip dessert!

Went to this spot today…read more Ordered 2 asada tacos, no veggies, queso fundido with chips and gelatina. The tacos were rich in flavor and the meat was grilled to perfection. The queso fundido was decent. It was extremely busy and the server had trouble understanding what we wanted. The tacos were good enough for me to come back just for the tacos. Decent spot that I do recommend but wouldn't necessarily go out of my way for. Nice!

The menu is on the smaller side, but the flavors are anything but small. Everything we tried was full of flavor and really delicious.

The staff was incredibly friendly, patient, and helpful while answering all of my questions. A special shoutout to Suri for recommending the soft serve margarita, which was easily a 10/10 and something I would absolutely order again! I also got a bowl, which was refreshing and flavorful. Between the amazing food, excellent service, and great atmosphere, this place exceeded my expectations. I'll definitely be coming back and highly recommend checking it out!

The prices definitely went up but honestly, given how much this place has grown and recognition they have received, it does makes sense. I ordered my childhood go-to, their birria tacos and a horchata. I already knew what I was getting into, but that first bite still hit me with a wave of nostalgia and pure flavor. The tacos were as rich and juicy as ever, and that horchata? Still absolute perfection, sweet, creamy, and the best way to wash it down your meal. Maybe I'm being dramatic, but this place just has a special place in my heart. So if you're in the area and craving some birria, 100% make the visit.

It tasted boiled and lacked flavor which was so disappointing.

They are not serving alcohol anymore which is unfortunate to not be able to enjoy a margarita but they had a large mocktail list. We tried three different tacos (chicken, carne asada, and carnitas) and I loved being able to mix and match. The carne asada was probably my favorite but they all were swimming in oil. The skirt steak enchiladas were a standout and easily my favorite dish of the meal. The steak was tender, the portions were generous, and everything came together really well. The queso was rich and creamy, and the fresh guacamole was a great starter while we waited for our food. Service was friendly and attentive throughout our meal, and the overall atmosphere made it a really enjoyable place to spend the evening.

The combo of the chicken, cachapa, jalapeño, bacon, egg, and spiced butter is elite. I also had a bite of my friends arroz verde was tasty, and I'm sure the Benedict would be awesome. A new item I tried this time was the potato holas. Omg, these little potato coins were fire!! Loved them with both chimichurri and aioli. Dinner is also great. The last time I went was a couple years ago, but they had a burger on a pap de queijo bun which was quite good. And the nachos, salsas, and of course arepas are always great. This is a true Minneapolis gem!

Everything was delicious here! My sis was recently in town so had the great excuse to eat somewhere…read moreI've been meaning to try. My preference is usually to go out for Asian food but heard so many good things about this place that I convinced my sis to try it with me and wow, left feeling impressed and very full. What we ordered: - Started w/ some non alcoholic drinks. I love horchata so had to get that & enjoyed it. - Corn bread w/ caviar - yum & great way to start - Seared scallops - so good - Charred eggplant tostada - loved this & a must-get - Shrimp tacos - I was worried that the tempura would just make it taste like fried but it didn't, it's really light. I liked these but could of used some saucy/ juicy component that feels more satisfying w/ tacos - Carne Asada - was not bad but just kind of tasted like meat I could get other places - Corn elote - it's what u expect but it was tasty & nice to have another veggie - Churro dessert - perfect way to end our meal. This is a must-get even if u are full! Overall the atmosphere is great. The server was very friendly and it never felt like we were waiting a long time for anything. The place feels but open & natural accents. It was def busy in here & it felet like we were close to some tables but it still felt comfortable to enjoy the meal while catching up w/ my sis. I will def be back to try other items!

I tried a cocktail that the bartender recommended and wow did it pack some flavor. We wanted to try all the tostadas and flavor, so we ordered the watermelon salad, beef toungue tostada, the scallops and the Cacio e Pepe tacos and man were we buzzing from all the flavors. We were all very full, but we had to try the churro dessert. I will say this place is very much captivating with decor, the flavors and the service. It's a must try if you're a foodie.
