He Said: This place is more of a 4.5 star location. Taco Libre is located in a heavily trafficked place, so while the restaurant is easy to find, parking can be tough. The inside is clean and the walls proudly show off Mexican culture, which is cool. Food is ordered on kiosks, which is good if you know what you want, but if you do not, there is no one there to help-- you need to walk over to the kitchen area to ask. Food came out quickly, and there is a salsa bar! Pros: - Good food - Portion sizes are good Cons: - If there is a line, it can fell like lots of pressure to quickly order, which can be tough if it's your first time. read more

Taco Libre has a couple of great locations throughout the metro. This location is one of my top 3 restaurants for burritos in the Twin Cities. They offer a good variety of Mexican food that includes tacos, burritos, machetes, huaraches, torta, and more. I love their birria burrito and their shrimp volcano. One item I recommend to try is their mega birria which is 1/2 lb of birria meat smothered in shredded cheese, on a 18" corn tortilla with cilantro, onion, served with a cup of consume and side of limes. You can order at the kiosks and pick up your food within less than 10 minutes which makes a quick service. The restaurant has several tables you can sit at and nice music on to enjoy. Each Taco Libre has their own decorations and this is also one of my favorite with part of a wall full of jarritos bottles. read more

I have always enjoyed the food at Taco Libre, but this visit left a bit to be desired. When you get in, they have kiosks to order on your own. The place was not super clean-that is unusual for them. The salsa bar was only half put up. My order was incorrect and inform had already left before I realized it. Staff were friendly. I will try it again! Prob recommend read more

Stopped in after reading decent reviews and - salsa bar! All in all - food very good, although I didn't get the sour cream or cheese on one taco, after paying for it. I couldn't find my text receipt to confirm (my bad, it went to spam..).. I do think they should get different cups for the salsa bar. They don't have to be bigger but they could get ones that are wider so you can dip a chip without having to break the chip into pieces. (I've used them at other salsa bars..). The salsas were all very very good! You have to buy chips, which seems to be a thing in Minneapolis, but it's a decent portion and they were tasty. They come in a bag so it was easy to take the leftovers home. Definitely would go again and always happy to support what I think is a local place.. read more

Pretty amazing food. Taco Libre carnitas and asada is super flavorful. My favorite is the Machete, it's like a foot long tacos and don't forget the yummy salsa bar. read more

Cool taco shop, they've got it all there - tacos, burritos, tortas, etc. You can order at a kiosk when you walk right in or talk to someone at the counter. They're making your order fresh and they call your name when it's ready to go. They're making fresh salsas and you can scoop it yourself. We had the machete with chicken tinga and al pastor, it was plenty of food for the two of us. Some chips and queso on the side made for a perfect and easy lunch. Plenty of seating and a nice dinning room as well. read more

Taco Libre - The Machete - Tacos Near Me - Roseville, Minnesota

My family loves traditional street taco and the lengua, buche, and cabeza tacos are all fantastic. My husband also loves the machete that's like as long as an arm! The salsa bar has very good toppings and make sure you try them all. You may be surprised at which is the "hot" one. read more

If you need a taco fix, this place will definitely satisfy your craving but the machete is the way to go and al pastor is definitely the superior choice in meat, don't ask me why but it is. Always fast friendly service. Everything is well kept and I love the art work and decoration read more

There's many locations of Taco Libre but I really like the Roseville one because it is always consistently delicious, brightly lit with plenty of seating, quick service, and pretty self serve. You can order at the register or kiosk, grab your own salsas, and seat yourself. I'm a huge fan of the tripe and lengua tacos here. read more

I've been so excited about this place every since I first saw the sign go up. I thought it was open way ago and realized they were remodeling the inside so never knew when they would open doors. So drive by and saw that people were coming in and out of here and that was my chance ! You walk in and you order through some tablets it's pretty easy and I was blown away by the variety that they have. I mean when it comes to tacos they have all types of classical meats which I was very happy to see specially lengua which is my fav! That night I was craving a torta which is basically a Mexican sand which on steroids using a telera as a bread. Wow was this torta packed with flavor. My partner had tacos and all were very tasty. You know a place is good depending on how their salsas taste and this hit the spot! You tend to get a watery version of tomato sauce with chips but this sauce was different because you could taste that some of the ingredients were roasted and you had the Smokey was of the chipotle peppers. I always order an horchata and this one has to take spot 1 among the horchatas I've had at restaurants. They cover it up for you so no spills happen if you were to take it out. The place is incredibly nice! You can see an amazing wall display of jarritos which is a Mexican soda. There is plenty of seating as well. I believe this is a chain as I've seen others around so it does make me happy to see that this one is in Roseville! Service was great and I was just very moved by the woman who cooked our meal that once I was done I had to thank her in Spanish because it reminds me of authentic Mexican food. She was very kind and I look forward to coming here again with the kids (: read more

I've been to the Taco libre location in Edina and I prefer this one in Roseville. The street tacos are delicious! I got the El pastor chicken and barbacoa. Plenty of tables for groups big and small. Food came out fairly fast after we ordered onT the kiosk. Everything is self serve. read more

I ordered the Queso Birria and corn in the cup. The Birria was great. The corn in the cup could use a little more cheese. It was self service unless you were paying with cash. The staff was very nice. The atmosphere was very fun and lively. read more

I really enjoy the nice cooks on the meats Taco Libre has. The choices and DEFINITELY the sauce bar. The pricing is a bit pricey but for the amount of food and quality it's worth it. May be a little splurge, but it's no issue. read more

I really like the Machete dish here, because it's decent food, large quantity for a very good price. My only complaint is that to get water with your meal you have to buy a bottle of water. read more

Recently discovered- the tacos are bomb, as is the tres leches cake. Very nice employees. Recommend.

I strongly believe that eating out to a Mexican restaurant is a waste of money. Food quality is not good, very very over priced and that's coming from someone who is MEXICAN. Homemade is always better BUT this place, dang. Makes me really want to go back. Was on pricey end but you get what you pay for! There are only a handful of Mexican joints that are worth the drive/time and this one happens to be one of them. The food was so damn good that I CLEANED my plate. I will definitely be going back. I think this will be my new favorite spot. Thank you! read more

I recently visited Taco Libre in Roseville, and while I've been to other locations with a preferred vibe (West St Paul!), this one impressed me with its great food and quick service. Ordering is smooth as you do it on your own. The menu is EXTENSIVE (in a good way!), and prices are average/a little high. The carnitas street tacos were stuffed generously, and the meat had a melt-in-your-mouth quality with great flavor. I also loved the tortillas... They were corn, but kind of crispy and not grainy! The salsa bar is a plus because I like a lot, and there's ample seating. Definitely worth a meet-up with friends! read more

Taco Libre is a yummy and quick place to grab a bite to satisfy your Mexican food cravings. Parking is convenient. When you enter the restaurant, you will notice touchscreen kiosks where you'll order your meal. Then, you'll grab your food down the line. The staff are friendly and quick. You don't have to wait long for your food. As you wait, you'll probably move to the fun Spanish songs playing. It is a fun place to be and the decor and art statements on the wall are so creative! When your name is called, you'll grab your order and your own salsas to go with your meals. We ordered tamales, alambre, side of rice and beans, and jarrritos. It is great to know of a place nearby that has tamales. They were a bit crumbly and dry, but they are good with salsa. Price is a little high, but probably worth it due to its location and limited competition. Stop by and enjoy it for yourselves! read more

Birria. In Minneapolis. Damn straight. I was stoked to find this place. Coming from SoCal i have been spoiled with always having access to good street tacos. So coming to Minneapolis i was thinking there wasn't going to be a good taco shop. Well i put that thought to rest. Food is excellent. The horchata was not. But hey im not in SoCal any.ore. i will be back to enjoy the food here and you should too read more

The service was decent, helped out when they could. The place was moderately clean, just like any other taco place. But most importantly...the food. We got quesibirilla (3) and a taco of lengua, chorizo, asada, and pastor. The Birrila was bomb! I mean it had it all. They load up the tacos with meat and some cheese and the broth is just perfect. Ate these with their hot Serrano salsa and some lime. Perfection! Taco de lengua and asada were also delicious. The lengua was not chewy and had a good crisp. Pastor taco was whatever, didn't really taste like pastor, anticlimactic. Stay away from the chorizo, it's bland and WAY too salty. Not worth the money. read more

some of the best Birria tacos I've ever had. A little pricey but the three tacos are a lot of food. two people could easily share!! stuffed with meat and flavor and the consume is great!! Glad I stopped in and I will be back next time with some people to help me finish those tacos!! read more

The food is SO GOOD! Service is fast and friendly! The Snelling location is our go to!

The burritta is the best, it's crunchy , it's different from burrito and it's huge, like for 2 ppl

Delicious food! Fast efficient delivery. Everything we ordered was delivered fresh with good sauces, chips, pico de gallo, guacamole.

To order food is a real pain in the a%#. No person to take orders all at a kiosk and you can't find anything. Took way to Long to place an order. All the hassle for so so food. Will not be back. read more

the food is great but they need to get there priority's straight. i come in a hour before close and promptly order my food and go grab some sauces, i then sit for 30mins for my food as i watch 1 of 3 employees start to prepare food for the LINE of customers as the others just stare at us and clean. i've been in before and had a great experience. this was disappointing. read more

Of all the Taco Libre in the TC, the Roseville one have to be the worst. The place is super clean, & it's not because it's a brand-new restaurant. It is because nothing is cooked there. I've ordered the Machete. It took less than 5 minutes. Everything is heated in a microwave or a warmer. Taco wasn't hot, salsa came in a package like ketchup. I don't mind paying the price they charge, as long as it was made fresh. I will continue to go to other Taco Libre in town, but NOT this one. read more
