    Beef Gorditas
    Raison D'etre D.

    A family owned business and probably the most authentic Mexican food in the Fargo Moorhead area. Stumbled upon this place after I overheard some coworkers rave about it. A daily special - advertised on their Facebook page - is served up during the week. On the weekend, they have breakfast tacos. Not being local to the FM area, I am yet to try the breakfast tacos. Lunch, however, with colleagues has happened a few times in the last month. Most people take their food to go, as there is no seating here. The last time I drove by it looked like there were some picnic tables in the parking lot, so that might be an option for some. Now on to the main substance - the food. Everything is prepared in house and is fresh. I've had the tacos and enchiladas - and both are flavorful and hit the spot. Also, the rice is absolutely the best. If you are in the FM area and are looking for a quick and flavorful lunch to go this is the place.

    Great lunch!! Hidden Moorhead treasure. Plenty of pure Mexican items you can't get anywhere else.

    Best Mexican around. I love getting the daily lunch special - highlight of my day. The tortillas are amazing. Get a side of green sauce!

    Breakfast tacos were good, but I was surprised and disappointed that they make their own tortillas, but only flour, not corn.

    The best Mexican food I've had in this city. They got the taste down to a science.

    The very best Mexican food and so fresh. excellent environment and so fun. I had the shrimp tacos…read moreand just loved them. My husband had the steak tacos. My husband said there was no waste from the steak- no grizzle or fat- all lean meat.

    The food is good, but at times the dish/meal will arrive at the table soggy. The guacamole that the…read moreserver comes around to ask you if you would like some is actually priced as much as a regular lunch meal, it's not complimentary (it's posted on the final tab). Service is great, professional, no complaints at all. Some of the male servers have long beards or facial hair long enough that should be under a hairnet. Clean restaurant and clean bathrooms. Ambiance good but loud and noisy, with TV screens on everywhere. Unfortunately, we will no longer eat at this location or any Mexican restaurant, as much as we really like it. Reason: one of the young man that was clearing and cleaning the tables/booths went into the men's bathroom with his kitchen glove on his right hand to clean the restroom. He was in and out of the bathroom and then came out with the same kitchen glove on, did not look like he discarded the glove or properly washed his hands. He then picked up a serving trey and a clean cloth from the kitchen rack and went about his duty cleaning tables/booths. Thinking that he might handle the chips and salsa back in the kitchen and then bring it out to the customers, made my stomach very nauseated. As a staff member, in the food industry especially, going into the restroom with a kitchen glove on is a BIG NO-NO!!! The health department would have a huge issue with that! As much as we enjoyed this restaurant, it will no longer be a place for us to eat at .
