But I've had two bad experiences with the same employee in the drive thru and it's hard to ignore. The first time, my wife and I ordered two meals and were given just one small salsa, not enough for even one person. When we came back to ask for more, her attitude was noticeably rude. The second visit wasn't any better. We ordered four tacos, she repeated the order correctly, but we were only given three. When I pointed it out, she tried to charge my card again for the missing taco instead of fixing the mistake. On top of that, we were again given just one small salsa. When we asked for more, she walked away, said something under her breath, and came back with a couple more with an attitude like we were bothering her. I'm not sure what her issue is, but being greeted with friendliness and basic customer service goes a long way. These experiences have made me think twice about coming back when she's working, which is disappointing because I do like the place overall.

One word of warning - the green salsa that came with the burrito we ordered, looked like a nice, mild, creamy avacado salsa....that it was not. It was HOT. Like HOT.

They are an immigrant-owned business, and you can also find their food truck at local MN events and even a stall at the State Fair! We don't go out for Mexican food very often because my mother in law is from Chihuahua and typically cooks better and more authentically than most restaurants in the area, but when we do El Burrito is typically on the short list. We've always had good service here. The staff is friendly, happy to chat or talk to you, and give recommendations. We stopped in this last time to grab a couple drinks on the patio and the waitress was nice enough to warn us that they've had bees recently. There were alot of bees, but we got through it and were happy that she warned us ahead of time. Their specials are excellent including their double Entre special on Thursdays and their Taco Tuesday deals. Really if you haven't given this place a shot either for groceries or for their restaurant you should stop in!

It's a bit easy to miss, so be on the lookout. There is plenty of street parking on the side streets. I am vegetarian and the staff were very thorough in sharing what options could be made for me. I ordered the cheese enchiladas. They came with rice and beans as well. It was a good amount of food! I would say the food was good but nothing amazing. I think I would have liked a bit more flavor in the enchilada sauce. That said, the folks that run this place are very kind -- I'll be back to try other dishes!!

Unassuming little place on the main street…read more An intended ICE arrest had led to a death by an ICE agent earlier today. A friend and I, rattled, decided to take his dog for a walk through their new neighborhood. We'd intended to visit Homi and other POC eateries soon. No time like the present, given current state of affairs. Grabbed an order of birria tacos and a large horchata to share before walking the two blocks back to their place to enjoy. The order took longer than expected, considering no diners or pickup orders. Was glad to see the ICE situation playing on their TV, which they were actively watching before we arrived, instead of maintaining a perfect dining environment while this tenuous situation was developing in our cities. My first time having birria tacos. Oh, I've been missing out! Definitely adding to my regular orders. Juicy, tender chunks of meat, plenty of consomé for dipping. The double taco shell with melted cheese layered in between was too much for me personally, but I could see that being very popular with the general public. The horchata was sweeter than I prefer and a tad watery for my taste. Especially given we'd found our favorite horchata in the Twin Cities yet a few weeks ago nearby. The place we recently visited remains our top favorite in the area, but this spot will see plenty of visits given its decent quality and proximity to my friends' new home.

When I got there, I went to the ordering counter, but nobody was there. I saw people cooking at the grill and in the kitchen, Im sure at least 3 people saw me standung there, but nobody came to help me. Thankfully, the phone rang so somebody came out. When I got my order, there was oil and sauce on the bag from dirty hands, but worst of all nothing tasted fresh. The tortilllas with the tacos were hard, the al pastor was dry, and the meat/onion ratio was heavy on the onions. The avocado was dark, lettuce was wolted and the limes did not produce much juice. I usually love Los Ocampos, but I won't be going back to this location.
