Great salsas--we especially like the mild (tomatillo) but the medium and hot are quality too. If you live in the area, go here once and you'll want to put La Maria in your regular rotation. If you're passing through, take a couple miles' detour off the highway for something much better than fast food but almost as fast. They started as a food truck and expanded to this permanent location (the food truck is still at the Marathon in Lake Elmo, I believe).

We got to enjoy the patio but there's only one table so don't plan to enjoy outside. Kids menu has great selection and they offer milk, chocolate milk, soda and juices. They have beer and soda for adults. We enjoyed hardshell tacos with spicy pork and shredded beef, enchiladas and chips and salsa. The arbol salsa had great flavor and excellent heat. I enjoy spicy but it was very tolerable with a nice kick. I'd say 7/10 on the heat.

They had a great taco special for $1.35, which was a steel also got the two Timmy's plate the fish taco with corn tortillas and the Carne Asada burrito. All the food was great like a fish taco was a little bland. Got the wrong kind of salsa on it so it wasn't a ton of flavor. Portions were generous prices were very reasonable. We'll definitely be back here. Parking was simple. Only downside was the service was lacking - took a while to be acknowledged but not a deal breaker. Interior had plenty of space for eating with a couple TVs. Would recommend for good cheap Mexican!

The decor is pretty neat inside. Round tables with bulky chairs and window seating as well…read more Not a sit down restaurant with a server if that's what you're looking for. I would consider this a fast food joint like Chipotle. The food was really bland. I got the steak taco and when they scoop the steak they had to drain the water out? To me it seems like they cook their meat and leave it soak in something to keep it from being dry. By doing this it also lost all flavor if they seasoned their steak. Unfortunately, it wasn't worth it and I won't be going back.

Just wow!! Found this location from moving into the neighborhood back in the fall and what a Gem…read morethey're! Customer service is great they talk though the menu with questions of all kinds even down to the amount of spice used in case you're sensitive. I enjoy dining in the layout is beautiful and comfortable. I love that they're so many locals that support this business most dine in and are friendly. The food comes out in a decent amount of time I have no complaints there!! My favorite is Taco Tuesday $2.50 per taco you cannot beat and they're sooo good, the green sauce is my favorite with a side of lime. My last item I gotta shout of is the Rice milk dang is it yummy!! The best I've had in MN hands down. I will continue to visit and bring friends!

Good Mexican spot!…read more Stopped here for some tacos and a pupusa, having had it for takeout in the past and liked it. They have beers and margaritas too for dine in. I do wish they had a taco meal/plate for the street tacos that included rice and We ended up ordering a side of rice that cost more than a taco. The service is fine - I've had really fast service and other times I waited a surprising time. It's a pretty relaxed atmosphere. They've got music going and a couple TVs with news and sports. Parking is ample.

We loved everything about Mr. Taco! The place is a typical taco joint, nothing fancy, but that…read moredoesn't deter from the amazing food! The service was fast and friendly. They checked on us several times to see if we needed anything. We ordered the Wet Burrito and Birria Tacos. The birria stew meat was cooked perfectly and the flavor was absolutely delicious. All of the ingredients tasted fresh! The only complaint is that you don't get free chips and salsa, which is never a deal breaker for us. The chips did come with a sampling of different salsa, so that made up for not being free As an added bonus, you might catch a guy on a bike riding around with a parrot on his shoulder!

Golden, crispy, stuffed to perfection, and smothered in saucy goodness--it was so good I half‑expected it to come with its own fan club. The vibe here is festive without trying too hard--bright colors, upbeat energy, and staff who make you feel like you're part of the party. Drinks are solid (the horchata is basically dessert in a glass), and the menu has enough variety that you'll want to come back just to work your way through it. Prices are fair, portions are generous, and honestly, if you leave hungry, that's on you. Bottom line: Machete isn't just serving dinner--it's serving main character energy. And that chimichanga? Out of this world, baby.

I feel that the corn was missing something maybe a char on the corn though I still enjoyed it. I also got the Horchata, which was very tasty. I want to slurp it all down in one gulp!
