Soy meat taco ($3.25 each), vegan by default. Great tasting. Good texture.
Kedar D.

Rincon Mexicano offers good vegan tacos, fresh food and friendly vibes. Pro-tip: Rincon Mexicano is different than Taqueria El Rincon, a couple hundred feet away. Taqueria El Rincon is in the same building as an Aldi and has no vegan options; Rincon Mexicano is in a free-standing stripmall. It's confusing on Google Maps. The veggie chorizo tacos ($3.25 each) are vegan by default and excellent, which nicely-seasoned chorizo. Take a pass on the similar, but different, veggie chorizo with potato tacos ($3.25) which are blander due to the potatoes neutralizing the seasoning. The soy meat tacos ($3.25) are excellent with great texture and seasoning. We also liked the french fries ($2.75), which I can never pass up. Lastly, the pico de gallo with chips ($4) feature superb homemade chips and fresh pico. You can't go wrong. Stop by Rincon Mexicano for some of the best, and most authentic, vegan tacos in the Twin Cities.

Carne asada (thin slices of steak), rice, beans and salad.
Dan S.

Quick ordering from a hole in the wall. Take out or eat there. I love their verde (green) sauce. Just the right degree of spiciness for a gringo. I even ordered a quart made fresh to take home. Make a tortilla and dip it in the sauce or simply pour it on the rice, beans and steak. The numerous slices of thinly sliced steak was amazingly seasoned. At some places the steak can be tough. Not here. This place is hidden in a small strip mall behind another small strip mall. Good luck in finding it.

Ohmigod. I am SO glad this place is here. I went to my park-n-fly hotel in the middle of generic corporate chain nowhere, and the restaurant options were dismal. Then there were these reviews on Yelp ... It is so out of the way. It is at the corner of a hidden sub-sub section of a barely perceptible strip mall. But bright and welcoming. And WOW when you walk in the door is it fragrant. You can't help start salivating - - roasted corn, a waft of garlic, searing of meats - - this place smells FANTASTIC. A lot of take out business, but I sat down and asked to see the menu. The gentleman said they are out of menus, but have pictures - - and the pictures are a Who's Who of yummy options from the $2 tamale to the bistec combo plates. I am a fan of sopes, so asked for the sope plate with pastor and carne asada. It is clearly his wife who brought it out, and she is virtually running to keep up with the pace of things, but with a sweet, warm smile and a bit of a giggle, nonstop. It came pretty fast, and was immensely satisfying. The red salsa is hot, the green more tame, and slathering them over the sopes till the whole dish was awash and aflame with flavor made for a great, great meal, for under $8. Why not 5*? Because I've had somewhat more fragrant sope shells, more tender meat, more aromatic salsas (and I take "as good as it gets" seriously) - - but the the flavors, the satisfaction, made the visit totally worthwhile. And the restaurant experience here is so genuine, so alive, so vivid, that it makes the rest of corporate chain hell out in these parts seem like a mortuary.

Tacos, elote

Best tacos in town, good prices, great customer service and the place is always nice and clean. Newly remodeled dining area. This is my hidden gem for a great lunch.

Well well well, hidden gem here. I must say I was surprised about this place. So I'm looking online for a co worker and I to get some good tacos for taco Tuesday and came across this place on yelp. Read the reviews, saw they had $1 tacos, was sold instantly. Not only is this place cheap, the tacos are really damn good. And the salsas that they give you to put in the tacos, awesome. The green is my favorite, so much flavor. The only hiccup, the tacos were small, so I needed to eat 6 to fill me up. Your paying $1, remember that. And they do $1 tacos on Friday too. I would love to check out their dinner menu sometime. Super small place, I believe there was 4 booths and that's it. So don't "expect", to dine in. Because those 4 booths go quick. I highly recommend

Menudo

Friendly Mexican restaurant hidden behind Ace Hardware store. I got Menudo. My Menudo had a little spicy hint, not greasy or food colored, plus fresh cilantro and amazing flour tortillas!! My beef and barbacoa tacos are also very tasty, wish they have more taco options though, especially fried tripes.

A wonderful little hole in the wall restaurant. Delicious food with a wide variety of options. I absolutely adore their tamales among the best I've ever had and they run a special on them on Wednesdays. My husband loves their nachos. Our daughter constantly wants to go here. Lots of gluten free options if that's a concern for you.

When we went in, it was completely dead, which should have been a sign, but I figured it was Super Bowl Sunday. I will say, the Michelada was delicious - if you haven't had one before, it's like a bloody Mary made with beer (I recommend Pacifico) instead of vodka. This place has the most variety of Micheladas I've ever seen, and I will admit it was delicious - the added shrimp was a bonus. However, the waters were slow to be refilled, and it's not great since this is a salty type drink. However, there were no obligatory chips and salsa, but when we ordered the nachos, we were also not offered salsa, but I made sure to ask anyway. While they weren't bad and the portion was just right, the ground beef was extra greasy, and it made the chips a little soggy. Next, I ordered the chimichanga to be on the safe side, and had ordered it with ground beef before the nachos came out. Of course, it came out greasy again, and without salsa. The cheese was at least good, if the overall dish was a little bland. I think I'd go back for drinks, but I'm not confident about much more.

I would not recommend this place…read more Esta gente babosas te roban tu dinero. Las muchachas ni siquiera hacen su trabajo de cómo meseras más bien se quedan ahí paradas. The menu doesn't have prices and won't ever have prices. I've gone there two years apart and it's the same

Inside a gas station in Eagan, this is some of the best dang Mexican food I've had in MN. I love their quality of classics plus fun variety like birria pizza and birria ramen.

The plating and flavors are so incredible for being inside a gas station! Can't recommend enough. Get to go or eat it in the gas station for the full experience.

I tried many of their birria dishes and, for the most part, liked what I had. Some of my favorites are the birria torta and the birria mulita, both of which had not only a good amount of meat but also cheese that were burned enough to give that crispy and the salty flavor. Oh, and having avocado in the torta was really nice. I didn't enjoy the birria ramen as much because the broth was extremely salty so it was only possible for me to eat the noodles. I thought that more noodles would be needed to neutralize the flavor. Overall I would still recommend this place, and it's good to know that they have multiple locations in various areas of the Twin Cities metro, including their Eat Street Crossing store, which has been quite popular!

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!
