Some restaurants earn a second visit. The good ones make you start planning a third before you even…read moreleave. That's exactly how we felt after coming back here. Our first visit was during a limited-menu event, so we wanted to experience everything the full menu had to offer. This time definitely delivered. We grabbed a table on the patio, which made for a great evening. Service was friendly and efficient, and the complimentary chips and salsa hit the table almost immediately. The salsa had just enough kick to keep us reaching for another chip. My wife stuck with what she knew and ordered the Choriburrito again. After loving it the first time, she wasn't about to change a good thing, and it was every bit as good as she remembered. I decided to branch out with the Chimichanga Sampler, and it was easily the highlight of the meal. Each chimichanga brought its own flavor profile, making it fun to work through the plate instead of feeling repetitive. The pulled chicken was tender and well-seasoned, while the seafood version stood out with rich flavor and was my personal favorite. After two visits, it's safe to say this has become one of our favorite Mexican restaurants in the area. There are still plenty of menu items we're excited to try, so we'll definitely be back.

Delicious street tacos that are only $2 each on Taco Tuesdays! The corn tortillas are fresh and the…read moretacos are loaded with onions and cilantro. The steak asada tacos are my favorite -- the beef is perfectly salted and so flavorful. I also enjoyed the chicken tinga tacos, which has a tomato-based adobo sauce. The barbacoa tacos were juicy but I would've liked a little more salt. Don't miss the condiment area, where you can get lime wedges and mild, medium, and hot salsas. The mild salsa wasn't spicy at all and added nice flavor to the tacos. The medium salsa isn't that spicy if you have a spice tolerance. The hot salsa is more hot than flavorful. Food is made quickly and service is friendly.

This is the food spot we eat at the most hands down. At least 2-4 times a month. I love the food. Their Tinga is sooo good. I ordered a side of their rice the other day (because I love it in my burritos) and oh my gosh that was amazing. But the staff don't even fill up my cup full of rice . It was only like 80% full. Felt like I got ripped off a bit, for the cost. I also really wish they would look into adding more menu options. We need queso here, I bet they could make an amazing queso. I also wish they had a salsa specifically for chips. Their sauces/salsas are great, but only on food. Not great with chips. Overall - still great. Go eat here. Service is slower than before. Prices have gone up. Wish they had queso and a salsa for chips specifically. Wish I got a full cup of rice when I order a side of rice, considering how expensive the rice is.

We went back today because we were craving this place, and it felt like the perfect Sunday…read moreafternoon lunch. I'm really happy to say that things have improved since my last visit and review. That said, it's still not quite a perfect 5 out of 5 for me. First, they seem to have ditched the service fee. My understanding is that service fees are no longer allowed in Minnesota, so I was expecting them to replace it with a credit card fee. I'm happy to say there was no service fee, no credit card fee, or anything else. The price of the food is the price you pay, plus tax and tip. That is so refreshing to see in 2026 and automatically earns this restaurant an extra star from me. The food is still the best part of this restaurant. I'm sure they're sourcing ingredients from the same places as everyone else, but somehow their flavors are extraordinary. This time I got the Pollo Sonora, and I honestly don't have any complaints. It was absolutely delicious. Highly recommended. They still offer free chips and salsa, which I love because not every Mexican restaurant does that anymore (Chula's in Prior Lake, I'm looking at you). It's nice to see they still include them. This time around, though, I didn't enjoy the white sauce as much. I'm not sure if it changed or if my tastes have changed. The red salsa was fantastic, but I really wish it had been colder. It was more warm or lukewarm, which just wasn't what I was expecting or wanting. My wife got one of the weekend lunch specials for $10.99: a beef enchilada and a beef burrito. She had no complaints. I was honestly impressed that they still offer lunch specials on weekends. We also ordered the large queso appetizer for $10.99. I intentionally ordered the large because I assumed we'd have leftovers to take home. However, the "large" is really more of a medium-sized portion. I'm 6 feet tall, had just finished a workout, and hadn't eaten much that day. My wife was also very hungry. We ended up eating almost the entire thing. For $10.99, I was expecting a noticeably larger portion, so that was a little disappointing. I don't even want to know how many calories we ate just from the queso....but I still think the large should be larger for $10.99. The service also improved compared to my last visit, but I still don't think it's on the same level as many other restaurants. In my previous review, I mentioned that service was the biggest issue, and if you read other reviews, you'll notice it's a recurring theme. This time our waiter did ask if we needed drink refills, which was an improvement. However, service still felt a little slow, and at times it seemed like he was trying to avoid extra trips or additional questions. For example, when he took our drink order, he immediately started walking away. We had to quickly stop him because we also wanted to order an appetizer. At that point we were ready to order our entrées too, but since he didn't ask, we only ordered the appetizer. Later he came back and asked if we were ready to order our entrées. By then we'd eaten almost all of our chips, and he could clearly see the basket was nearly empty. Instead of asking if we'd like another basket, I had to ask for more chips. That's not a huge deal, but it's just not what I'm used to. At most Mexican restaurants, if the server notices your chips are gone, they'll usually offer another basket without being asked. I realize that's a bit nitpicky, but I mention it because it's been a recurring pattern during past visits. The bathrooms were mostly clean, the sinks are pretty cool, and the men's restroom has a baby changing station. The prices aren't amazing, but they're not terrible either. If you're looking for the cheapest Mexican food around, this probably isn't the place. But if you're looking for fantastic flavors and a nice atmosphere, it's absolutely worth trying. I would still recommend this restaurant to friends and family, and I know my wife and I will be back. We're just not rushing to return. They're so close to being a truly perfect restaurant.

Went to El Azteca on Mother's Day 2026. There was eight of us, it was after church/late lunch, so…read morewe kind of expected to wait. Roughly 40 minutes later we were seated. They give you appetizers of chips, red salsa, and some kind of mayonnaise based dip. Beware because it'll get you gluttonous very quickly. All in all - it's what you expected for a Mexican restaurant. The food was quick, hot, and the service was kind and prompt enough to a bunch of gringos. A nitpick - the women's bathroom had 1 of 2 stalls out and seemed to need attention, hope they get that fixed. My only complaint was for two fajita platters, a nacho supreme, one tea, and one Sprite, and one bowl of guacamole and queso came to $120 after tax. Seems steep to me? (Hence four stars) At least the food didn't suck, which would I have made it sting. Try them out!

The prices are definitely high, but I suppose it's expensive to operate a food truck and get the bills paid. I also wish they posted earlier in the day regarding where they will be, like around noon.

The tacos are street size and small. You get 2 for $7.30 per order. Other option for meat was chicken. I had some corn salsa, salsa, lettuce and sour cream on it. The meat portion was good so not skimpy. My husband had Carnitas burrito which was huge for $9.95. The reason for 4/5 is the steak was disappointing. Cut in small tiny pieces like diced onions. This made it seem tough and low quality. Also not medium rare, but medium well or well done. So I recommend not getting steak. They should have a Barbicoa or chorizo option. Thats why I like Qdoba better. Also Qdoba gives you free queso and guacamole. Here you are charged extra. Picture of said meals.

The chicken and cheese containers were very near empty and it looked like the food was what was leftover from their lunch. I ordered anyway and hoped it would be more warm and fresh than it looked. I ordered double chicken on both meals and only asked for extra chicken after they put the normal 2 scoops for a single serving. When they added the extra chicken they added 1 small scoop, not even close to double. The cheese: they had to scape the bottom of the metal container and could barely even get 1 scoop for each meal. I asked for more and was provided another half scoop on each meal. Ordered sour cream on the side because I wasn't sure I wanted it in my food. CHECK OUT TIME: Charged for double chicken. Charged for sour cream on the side instead of in the meal. Charged for extra cheese. The guy at the register was rude and would only remove the extra cheese charge and said next time it will be extra $$. Extra money for cheese??? My Burrito was literally nothing but chicken, rice, cheese, and salsa. Never 1 single time have I had to ask for extra cheese at other Pancheros. Maybe fill your containers so you don't have to scrape for a scoop of cheese? The WORST part: Got home (3.5 miles away) and was eating 10 minutes after walking out of Pancheros door. Both of our meals were mostly cold. The rice wasn't even warm. The chicken wasn't cold, but wasn't warm either. Both meals were like eating it after it had been sitting for at least 30 minutes. I assume the rice and chicken were just sitting around for too long in Panchero's serving containers or they didn't have their warming station set correctly. Never have I had this problem before at other Pancheros, or Chipotle, or Qdoba. I won't be back to Apple Valley Pancheros.
