The tacos and quesadillas are solid and definitely worth trying, but I've been disappointed with the burritos and the pork al pastor. The carne asada burrito looked substantial at first, but it was overwhelmingly filled with plain white rice, which made it feel bland and not what I'd expect in terms of flavor or balance. The pork al pastor was even more disappointing. It didn't resemble traditional al pastor in taste or texture. It was overly sweet, lacked depth, and the pork itself was extremely dry, unfortunately dry enough to make it difficult to finish. There are still some good items on the menu, and the service keeps me open to giving them another try but based on my experience, I wouldn't describe the food overall as authentic or five-star quality.

After reading the Yelp reviews, we chose Tavial Grill - and we were so glad we did. This is truly authentic Mexican food. I had the al pastor taco and it was absolutely delicious. The tortilla was incredibly fresh and clearly handmade, and the meat and pineapple were perfectly seasoned. My husband ordered the carnitas burrito and wow - it was huge! Definitely come hungry. He said it was packed with flavor and one of the best burritos he's had. On top of the amazing food, the service was outstanding - friendly, welcoming, and efficient. Tavial Grill was well worth the short trip and far better than anything we would've found at the airport. We will definitely be back!

    It seems like birria can be found on just about every menu in the Cities these days, but El Fuego…read morehas been slinging it out of their truck for a few years now and I'll continue to seek them out when they make appearances around town. The truck doesn't seem to be out and about all that often and each time I've been lucky enough to try their birria it has been when they've been parked outside of Lake Monster Brewing. If the last time I visited was any indication, it appears that they're sticking to what they do best - birria. Gone were any options that didn't involve that beefy goodness, which is fine by me, as that's the only thing I'd be ordering. I can't speak to the birria burrito, but the tacos and quesabirria will remain my standby's as long as they're around.

    I was super pumped to see that they were returning to St Paul for the first time since The Descent…read moreInto Plaguetimes. I definitely don't feel right sitting inside a crowded restaurant yet, but strolling up to a food truck in a parking lot and chowing down on something tasty that's fresh off the grill, that is an activity I can very much get behind in July of 2020. I've had their tacos before and I knew I just wanted more of the same, so I ordered 3 tacos. And I asked for a fourth as well. Give me a break I was hungry and I hadn't eaten anything all day! They were delicious and I strongly suspect I'll stop by for more next time I see that they're back in St Paul. (They appear to divide their time between Pine City and St Paul.) A few caveats, though. One is that there were tomatoes on my tacos which I didn't want. The description doesn't mention them so I was unpleasantly surprised. Also I couldn't find anywhere for trash in the area. I'd expect them to supply that if there isn't anything around. And as they were parked outside The Lab's taproom, maybe they assumed we could get beverages in there, so they didn't appear to offer any. But The Lab's bar was only serving drinks to people on their patio. But despite all that, I know that I will be consciously craving these tacos again soon. I can't wait to return! Maybe a drive up to Pine City is in order...

    I love Nico's but the one on Como is such a fun spot with a beautiful patio…read more The food is consistently good, the service is quick, and the overall atmosphere is really well done. I love that you get the best of both worlds here with the lively, airy patio and the cooler, quieter interior depending on what vibe you're in the mood for. The drink menu is also a standout with some really fun cocktails. Staff is always friendly and kind, and service moves quickly, which I always appreciate. One of my favorite things is being able to mix and match tacos so you can try different proteins instead of committing to just one. I also love the variety of salsa options.

    A great hidden gem on Como Ave. This place was bustling on a Sunday evening. Nice patio seating…read morewas popular but inside is very comfortable too. Lots of teal blue in the decor. I sat at the bar as I was alone. I ordered their classic margarita which was very tasty. For food I ordered 3 tacos - a Calamari, a Shrimp and a Pork. The food arrived quickly and was nicely presented. My favorite of the 3 tacos was the Calamari. The calamari was lightly breaded and very crispy yet tender. The cabbage and crema were great accompaniments. The Shrimp was second favorite. Nice sized shrimp were cooked perfectly. I was a little surprised by the spice level was a bit more than I was expecting. I then tried the pork taco with salsa verde and again was surprised by the spice level. The menu does a good job of identifying the spice level of the various salsas they offer. I would recommend that they do the same with their tacos just for awareness. I ate the 2 seafood tacos and 1/2 of the pork. I would have appreciated some chips or some sour cream to help cool things down. Overall I'd like to comeback and try more of the menu and bring friends and family.

    I'll preface this with the fact that I'm not a fan of tex-mex, strip mall style joints. That said,…read moreLa Tapatia was a great experience. The atmosphere was trying to be trendy with the neon signs, rustic-chic, exposed duct aesthetic. The server was amazing. Incredibly friendly and helpful with questions that our group had. The food was also way better than I feared it might be. I appreciated the build-your-own option for a lot of the dishes. I got a large salad with grilled shrimp and it was pretty good. The shrimp was flavorful and the salad bright. I used some of the cilantro salsa that came with the chips as dressing and it was great. It happened to be my birthday and they brought out some churros as a treat, which was really nice. The churros, however, were pretty bad. Super dense and chewy. The service definitely added an extra star and that waiter (I didn't get her name) should get some recognition. I would put this in the "group pleasing", "work happy hour" bucket of restaurants. I would never suggest but definitely wouldn't be upset if the group chose here.

Tried calling to make a reservation but couldn't get anyone to answer. So 2:00pm it was. It was busy and only a few tables were open. Fun drunk menu and lots of local and Mexican beer options. Shared chips and salsa and Guac and both of us got two tacos and dessert and a drink. $40 a piece which wasn't bad. Would definitely go back.
