Flan
Rachelle S.

Have gone to this place a few times. Tried so many things. Recently had birria pizza. That was incredible. Also had their chimichanga, queso, and flan. All really good. The chimi had a cheese sauce and I had the chicken and would get again. They have some of my favorite flan! I'm a huge flan person and I always get! Parking is tricky as they are in a strip mall off 36th but typically can find a spot. The staff has always been super nice. The place itself is a vibe!

American style carne asada taco
Meredith M.

Their food is fresh, authentic, and yummy! You order at the front and then they either call your number or bring your food to your table based on how busy they are. Everyone on staff is super friendly and accommodating. The restaurant is brightly lit, lots of tables including booths and a bar. There were also TVs and neon signs, it was a fun atmosphere. I highly recommend eating in so you can enjoy a beergarita or getting takeout!

Great bar to belly up and watch a game!

Amazing food. Great service. Fun atmosphere. Will be back no doubt. 10/10 The staff is always so friendly and the food is delicious. The side bar is great spot to belly up and watch a game. I love this place. It's in the weekly rotation and my go to spot for Mexican food.

Street Taco
Ellie B.

My friend picked up tacos to-go from The Taco Shop to eat outside on a nice night and I've craved them nearly every day since!! I tried the chicken, carnitas, and al pastor tacos. All 3 were great, but my favorite was the al pastor. The side of chips were great and tasted super fresh! The packaging was also A+!!! I loved the individual slots in the box for each taco to keep them standing up and put together.

Birria Tacos
Jackie S.

It's a tiny space. When we were there there was a party taking up half the space, so only 4 tables were available. Come prepared with what you want haha, because the menu is big, bright and hard to read due to font. We had the chimichanga (very small) and birria tacos. Both had great taste, but simply weren't worth the hefty prices. Friendly and quick staff. Parking is in back FYI, don't listen to Google haha

Very flavorful food with many vegetarian and gluten free options Street parking out front. The restaurant is very small so only food for takeout or a small group. Service is fast- they have a cheaper price when you pay with cash

What a fun little discovery. This taco shop has incredible authentic mexican classics in a redeveloped area of Saint Louis Park. I kept hearing about this place from friends and food reviews and it is worth the hype!!! You see in my pics carne asada street tacos a must order when evaluating mexican food Birria queao tacos Mexican bowl Wet burrito And a machete a masa corn tortilla stuffed with asada, beans, cojita cheese, lettuce and sour creme and served with peppers and onions Chips and guacamole for real mexican fans, queso for you midwest wonders are both really good and the horchata and mexican coke are great to drink

Burrito with cheese sauce
Jennifer B.

Small Mexican place with really fun black and pink interior decor. We got pickup tamales and a burrito from here. Still hot when we picked up. The tamales come unwrapped and covered in sauce. The burrito looked huge, but was actually the right amount for a hungry human. Street parking only. Absolutely nothing wrong, just not mind blowing and only had 2 items. Would go back to try more and increase stars. 3.5

Cute wall

This place is super cute! It's a smaller restaurant so I'd say don't go with too many people unless to place to takeout. They do a few tables outside (sidewalk patio). I ordered a chicken tinga bowl & horchata. The food was decently flavored. I'd for sure go back and try more items. They have a cute little ice cream cart you can rent for events. The overall ambiance was nice. I liked all the neon lights & of course black and pink.

Three street tacos with a roasted pepper and roasted onion with radishes and cucumbers. This place was five stars without a bite.

My wife and I were out in St. Louis Park, north of Edina and it was new restaurant Saturday. I sauntered into the smallish strip mall space, but it was surprisingly large inside for the area they had. There is a huge menu, but I was in here for STREEET TACOS. I got the lengua (tongue), some beef head (delicious) and the pastor, by far the best! The pastor was so flavorful, spicy, yet, not. The head and lengua was perfectly spiced, because you could not tell it was fatty meat. If you told someone what it was before they had it, they may not even try it, but it was delicious. I have had lengua which is very fatty, this was not at all, and the beef head was like a delicacy, almost like beef cheeks, which I have had. Maybe a better name for it. Anyway, great food and nice enough service. The food was filling and great! It is in a small place, so you have to look for it in St. Louis Park

Authentic, tasty, and quick service makes the Taco Shop a great stop. I love the convenient location in beautiful St. Louis Park. Our food was cooked to order but still ready in about 10 minutes. Loved the flavors and options for different meats, mushroom alternative for veggie lovers, with both tacos and non-taco options!

Menu

What are the light! I had some unique rice on the bottom, covered with cheese, covered with vegetables and shrimp, very delicious. My son had three tacos and a steak sandwich. He gobbled it all down in record time. The service was friendly. I waited for my takeout order and it was very fast. This is a very small restaurant inside maybe 10 tables? I think they do a brisk take out business. Try it out!

Tacos birria
Kate M.

Ordered birria tacos for takeout. Order was ready very quickly and online ordering was simple. Tacos were delicious- flavorful, rich, good toppings. Consumee was fantastic!

Orale will definitely become one of my new go-to spots!…read more I got the swimming burrito with carne asada and my partner got the swimming burrito with carnitas. Both were good, I would definitely recommend the carne asada. We also got chips and guac. The guacamole had a strong lime taste and was so unbelievably delicious, I would go back just for the guac. There is a small parking lot in front of the restaurant and a ton of street parking. The staff were very nice and helpful. We ordered at the kiosk and they brought our food to our table. It looked like the bartender also waits on the tables in the back. There's a section of the restaurant that's a bit loud, but we easily found a spot to sit in a quieter area.

The food is pretty decent. I lived in Querétaro, Mexico, and spent 8 years in Phoenix, so I know…read morethe difference between authentic and Americanized Mexican food; this is firmly the latter. It's a bit whitewashed and leans more Cal-Mex than anything you'd find in Mexico, but I'm not complaining. I love a good California burrito and asada fries, so this style has its place (especially in Minnesota). Service can be slow. It took us about an hour to get two burritos yesterday and the restaurant didn't look busy. Maybe they were just short staffed. My main issue is the salsa. They limit you to one packet per person, and it's not the slightest bit spicy. And where are the limes? This place desperately needs a salsa bar with real options and some heat. Bump up the salsa selection and stop rationing it, and this would be a solid spot. For now, I'll keep getting this to go and buying my own salsa and limes.

Filled with beef juicy, and just the right amount of grease. I love that it retains its crunch throughout. I even tried some green sauce which heat wuss, I actually liked. We all washed it down with guava Jarritos. Using the bathroom is a hoot. The key is attached to a broom. The owner and chica at the counter are laughing at me looking at it. Going in wasn't the easiest and when I got out I told them they should put me on the payroll. Anyway, it's everything "they" say it is and I almost wish I had forced down a second one.

The prices definitely went up but honestly, given how much this place has grown and recognition they have received, it does makes sense. I ordered my childhood go-to, their birria tacos and a horchata. I already knew what I was getting into, but that first bite still hit me with a wave of nostalgia and pure flavor. The tacos were as rich and juicy as ever, and that horchata? Still absolute perfection, sweet, creamy, and the best way to wash it down your meal. Maybe I'm being dramatic, but this place just has a special place in my heart. So if you're in the area and craving some birria, 100% make the visit.

Colita has been on of my favorite restaurants in MPLS for…read moreyears now. It's a super cute and picture-worthy location with greenery hanging all over bar. The kitchen is completely gluten free and I don't know if I have had something that I haven't liked. Some of my favorites are: the masa chips (super smooth guacamole and an amazing bean dip), shrimp tacos, elote and the Tlayuda. You also HAVE TO ORDER the churros - sometimes just go there for drinks and churros. The drinks are fun and creative. I believe that most of their cocktails are prebatched, so they are really consistent but I haven't found them to be super strong.

Everything was delicious here! My sis was recently in town so had the great excuse to eat somewhere…read moreI've been meaning to try. My preference is usually to go out for Asian food but heard so many good things about this place that I convinced my sis to try it with me and wow, left feeling impressed and very full. What we ordered: - Started w/ some non alcoholic drinks. I love horchata so had to get that & enjoyed it. - Corn bread w/ caviar - yum & great way to start - Seared scallops - so good - Charred eggplant tostada - loved this & a must-get - Shrimp tacos - I was worried that the tempura would just make it taste like fried but it didn't, it's really light. I liked these but could of used some saucy/ juicy component that feels more satisfying w/ tacos - Carne Asada - was not bad but just kind of tasted like meat I could get other places - Corn elote - it's what u expect but it was tasty & nice to have another veggie - Churro dessert - perfect way to end our meal. This is a must-get even if u are full! Overall the atmosphere is great. The server was very friendly and it never felt like we were waiting a long time for anything. The place feels but open & natural accents. It was def busy in here & it felet like we were close to some tables but it still felt comfortable to enjoy the meal while catching up w/ my sis. I will def be back to try other items!
