Steak fajita quesadilla
Terrence M.

Delicious authenic mexican cuisine! Both meals were fantastic. A must try. Great service, great food!!!

Absolutely the BEST authentic Mexican food we have had EVER. The atmosphere felt just like we stepped off the ship in Mexico and dining on vacation. We had the Fajitas for 2 included Shrimps, Beef, Chicken and the BEST slow roasted Pork I've ever tasted in my life. Incredible - If you want a fantastic dining experience with friendly service, this is the place to be. A+ Miguel!

Back dining room.

Brand new Mexican restaurant in the former Log Cabin Cafe. Food was delicious. Best Mexican food I've eaten in the Brainerd area. Alejandro's Molcajete was delicious! The chicken and steak were very tender and full of flavor. Chicken in the chicken soft taco was so flavorful. Huge menu with lots of options including lunch specials. Wait staff was really friendly. Still working out a few things but since we were there for a soft opening on their first day, I was really impressed. Looking forward to going back for more deliciousness.

Cheap sliced breaded chicken patty on crummy lettuce, masquerading as a grilled chicken salad. Packaged dressing.

New ownership. Absolutely worst meal I've ever had. The chicken fajitas was a salad plate with a few chips, with shredded canned chicken, and cheese melted on top. I added some raw veggies from my friend's plate. Her entree was supposed to be grilled chicken. It was obviously sliced, breaded chicken patty, on some sad lettuce. We couldn't even eat it. We complained but weren't comped. It cost $30 for these horrible meals, with 2 diet sodas. Never, never going back.

SLICED CHEESE!

I like the chimichangas with beef tips, but they also have a great burrito with pork tenderloin simmered in beer!

Weird I ordered at the window and got my final order and…read morecharge at the billboard. They apparently asked me to stay at the ordering window until the lady gave me the okay to go to the window to pay . Never have been asked this before (live in Minneapolis) I waited 2 minutes then went to the window to pay.....the weird lady had the nerve to say "next time wait to come to the pay window until I give you permission" super rude I'd understand if she was pleasant Ok I was confused normally when you order you move to window to pay without having to get permission Awful customer service If you don't want a good drive thru experience skip this place. She was 20.ish red/brunette hair Friday July 18 around 230 please let her know her attitude is ugly

The location in brainerd MN absolutely sucks. I paid extra for chips and cheese and a Doritos locos…read moretaco and didn't receive either of those items . I am highly allergic to tomatoes and I asked for no tomatoes and got it on all of my food items . I didn't receive any of my modifications such as adding onions to my items and removing the tomatoes as said before . All of my food items were cold and hard as a rock that it was not even edible . I ended up having to throw away my entire order and will never be coming back . I will drive out of town just for Taco Bell after this experience . The staff also needs to be talked to about poor service . You could hear them playing around in the background over the speaker and I waited 10 min to receive my food . Not to mention the store manager what also working at the time .
