    Churros
    Edgar P.

    Torta: Pretty good! Salsa bar: several options, and the dark red one was tasty and smoky! Tacos: We liked the tripe flavor, but chewier and not as crispy as we would have liked; the carnitas had good cook on it though we'll add more salt next time. Churros: Pretty good as well

    If you are reading this. You have waited to long to come here. Stop what you are doing and run to Taco Libre. I'm typing with 1 hand and eating a quesabirria taco with the other. Wow I just entered another dimension eating this taco. Also had a fish taco and amazing. I want to pull up a cot and live here. Come quick before more of your life passes by and you haven't enjoyed this level of joy in your life.

    Tacos, tamales, street corn, and drink.
    Mason Y.

    Honestly, my go to spot whenever we crave fast, tasty food, but not as unhealthy as actual fast food! For a chain in the middle of Minnesota, this place really knocks it out of the park. I'm from California and the tacos here are solid & legit - corn tortilla, cilantro, deliciously marinated meats. I ALWAYS get the pork varieties - super juicy. Beef is an extra $0.50 so we will maybe get one or two. My wife loves the value of the tamales too. ~$3 a piece - we always go for the chicken ones. Lately, I also get the street corn - it's full of cheese, lime & paprika! Yum!

    Steak street tacos & salsa

    This is a fast casual restaurant serving up a variety of Mexican foods, including tasty street tacos! The corn tortillas are a bit crisp, and tasty. There are three salsa to choose from, and all three are spicy! I tried the shredded chicken tacos, which I preferred over the veggie tacos. I'm thankful I don't have to drive so far for good tacos anymore! Oakdale is a bit closer than Lake Street.

    Beef tacos and a side of guacamole
    King L.

    It was pretty good overall. The beef tacos weren't all that but ok. The shrimp tacos on the second go round were on point. The however might as well had been table side. I'm not a big guacamole person but i will indulge occasionally. This was the highlight of my visits. I devoured the guacamole! It is a bit pricier than I'd think for a taco dinner too. I think for chip and guacamole it was $10+ by itself. But i paid that twice for that stuff. Hope they continue that at least. Oh and there's NO ALCOHOL here . Sorry no tacos and margarita to swallow it down.

    Empanadas

    The place is a great spot good food and friendly staff. I got the the empanadas. I must say they are very tasty. Will definitely return.

    Definitely one of the best fast food type Mexican restaurants in the Twin Cities! Wow, I really like Taco Libre - I wish there was one close to my house. There's a large variety of unique Mexican fare that make me love Taco Libre. You order up front and take a number. Pick where you want to sit and they bring the food out to you. They have multiple meat choices. There are 8 types of beef alone, including Tripa (the small intestines). They have unique ingredients like Flor De Calabaza (pumpkin flowers) and Huitlachoche (corn smut fungus). Of course, they have the standard soda machine. But they also have horchata, mango, and lime drink in 3 big Jetspray dispensers. They have a cooler with Mexican bottled sodas too. There's a big selection of self-serve sauces and toppings - awesome! Finally, they also have an assortment of Mexican sweets. If you're really hungry, you must try the "Machete"! It's an 18" long taco type item and you can order it with 2 different meats. It's big enough that 2 people could easily share. My only (minor) gripe is the self-serve salsa cooler. The labeling is goofy. It's hard to read (light colored lettering on the glass hood) and it's hard to determine which labels match which condiments. We finally figured out the labels but then we also found out that some of the sauces were in the wrong place. They have so many great salsas, I wish they took more time to label them better and put them in the right spot. I love the Lucha Libre (Mexican wrestling) theme. Thumbs up! -Daddy Maxx Retro P.S. I want to make a brief comment about the people complaining about "GREASE". Yo, reality alert: Authentic Mexican food is greasy, people! That's why it tastes so good. For example, they use pork lard for making authentic refried beans. If you want health food, go somewhere else. But keep the Mexican food authentic and flavorful, complete with the savory GREASE and PORK LARD! Don't change a thing Taco Libre, keep the flavor and keep the grease. Don't listen to the whiners.

    The food and portions are good, just wish the prices weren't as high. It's authentic and the vibes are good. Can get busy during lunchtime.

    The birria tacos are delicious! Good Tres Leches cake. It's close to my house, so I'm there semi regularly.
