    A very large fish tank.
    Ted R.

    Teresa's Mexican Restaurant has been a stable fixture in Golden Valley (in the shopping center near the Byerly's) for many years. It is reliable place for good, sit-down Mexican/American food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The Golden Valley location is fairly large, and I've never had a problem getting a seat.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's attractively decorated, is comfortable, and I have found the service to be consistently good and accommodating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Personally, I am a big fan of their Fajitas, usually the chicken fajitas which comes on a sizzling plate, loaded with the usual chicken, onions, peppers, tomatoes, and sour cream. It comes with a side of Mexican rice and refried beans. My wife usually gets their very good street tacos. In addition, the chips and salsa, always included, is fresh and good. Like many restaurants these days, they charge extra to use a credit card, but you can avoid the charge by using a debit card or cash.

    Came for an early lunch on a rainy day. I got a margarita and the Lindo's Special which was delicious but a little bit salty. Our waitress was very attentive and came by to check on a is a few times. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It wasn't too busy because they had just opened for the day but there were some other diners having lunch too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]My mom did mention that the music was a little loud, but tolerable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Classic Chimichanga, Cheese Quesadilla
    Lydia C.

    The menu at Teresa's has quite the variety but I chose to get their Pick 2 with a chimichanga and quesadilla, which also came with rice and beans. Everything I ate was good and I even finished my entire plate. Was it the best Mexican food I've ever had? No, but it did what it needed to do. The service was good as well, especially considering we had quite the large party for them to accommodate. I would go back!

    The Food Chips are slightly cold the service is very quick though also there [[HIGHLIGHT]]the restaurant has really nice ambiance and is kinda like a bar[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]the bathrooms are a little far for my liking but that is just me[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]a-lot of noisy phone ringing ear blasting[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] the food is my sister didn't get cheese with her taco!? And i ordered no lettuce but got lettuce but thats ok the food is marginal i will not be ordering dessert

    Really good drinks and Mexican food in the Twin Cities. I had a margarita that was really delicious. We had the arroz con pollo and the street tacos with shredded beef. Both entrees were great! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Our waitress was super nice, very quick, and the restaurant was clean![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    margaritas - large
    Julie D.

    I've come here a handful of times for dinner and this time I just came for drinks and dessert. The service is always pretty good - everyone from the hostess to the waitstaff, and bussers. The food however isn't amazing, don't get me wrong - it's good but doesn't really stand out. It's also pretty expensive. This time I got the raspberry frozen margarita and it was ok. It didn't seem very strong at all. The chimicheesecake was fun, pretty tasty but kind of wish I went without it. Doesn't blow me away, would come back if invited but don't think I'll go out of my way to get here. 3.5

    Al pastor street tacos
    Jackie S.

    Wow-za. Definitely lived up to the hype! Every single thing I had was next level tasty! I had a Paloma that was unbelievably smooth and tasty!! I had Al Pastor street tacos which, again, were soooo good. Fresh, tasty, juicy! Even the beans and rice on the side were better than any I've had! Free chips and salsa of course, but trust me, DON'T fill up on them hahaha. Prices were fine! $10 for the cocktail, $14 for 3 tacos and sides. Happy hour weekdays 4-6. The service was friendly and quick. The place is a little dark haha, but otherwise a good vibe! 10/10 stars!

    $5 happy hour margarita and carne asada fries
    Stacy A.

    I love the happy hour here! The $5 margaritas are a generous size and very tasty (probably a little light on the tequila but still good). The menu is plentiful and took me awhile to decide what to order. Since I happen to be here during happy hour I tried the carne asada fries which was more than enough for a stand-alone meal. However, next time I think I will ask for no jalapeños and no bacon. The decor is very blah but the service was nice. Overall it's a nice homey Mexican restaurant. I will be back!

    Happy Hour Menu!
    Amanda I.

    Fun place for families or date night. This place has an amazing happy hour menu from 2-6pm and 9pm- close. Some good finds that will leave you wanting more of this terrific place. Margs are $5 during happy hour and the trick is to get it 1/2 frozen 1/2 on the rocks NO ICE! It's the only way to enjoy their margs. If you are in the mood for beef or shredded tacos (hard or soft) get the 2 happy hour tacos for $6. Super good comes with lettuce and cheese and you will be full. I would recommend the soft. If you are really hungry get the al a carte tacos soft with grilled chicken, it comes with lettuce and cheese and there are 3 nice size tacos to devour. Better yet - if you want grilled chicken tacos get the 2 quesadillas off the happy hour and there you go you have what you want. You will get charged extra for the grilled chicken but your tortilla will be nice and crispy and you will get sour cream, lettuce, cheese and tomatoes. Now you know all the favorites and tricks...but one more. The WINGS - yes get the habanero sauce and your will get the hot sweats. They really are decent. The chips and salsa are great. Salsa is chunky and full of flavor. This place really is a great find!!

    My receipt arranged to bag. My proof.

My spouse and I split a Caesar Salad. She ordered the Crispy Tuna Tacos which are always fantastic. I devoured the Blackened Shrimp. The dish had a piquancy that added the perfect amount of kick. I loved it. With jazz on Wednesday evenings and unique menu specials, the Waterbury will grow sick of my face. It's a great restaurant.

We finished with the Bombolone and it was a perfect dessert. Not overly heavy with just enough sweetness. Check this spot out!
