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

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

Al pastor torta and burrito bowls at the bar.

Great salsa bar with all the sides! Al pastor torta and burrito bowls at the bar super good and flavorful. Good vide inside the bar and the parking in the back needs to walk to the front. Quick and friendly service.

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.

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!

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!

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

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!

Ordered a carne asada street taco and birria tacos. The food came out quickly, was super tasty, and it was all fresh. The staff was great and the restaurant was very clean. Another enjoyable visit here!

Birria grilled cheese
Morgan S.

Service was great and food was delicious! We had the machete and the birria grilled cheese. The machete is gluten free and the tortilla was kinda like a giant pita it was amazing. The bread and Birria was delicious and great for dipping in the tasty consume. Very cool vibe inside with Great Wall art and neon signs!

The onions and tomato that were chopped up in it were so satifyingly chopped I really enjoyed, it was nice and cold too. I got the quesabirria tacos for my meal and they were out of this world, I seriously think I inhaled them and have been thinking about them ever since. We were drinking Pina Coloadas and it made me feel like I was on the beaches of Mexico. Service - There was one server working on a busy Friday night and she killed it; she was attentive and remembered everything whilst also being the bartender too!!! Ambience - it is colorful and bright in there and just almost nostalgic. There is a chipotle style line at the front if you want to just grab something quick and full service in the back of the building, cannot wait to go back.

They offer a lot of daily specials, but the one that caught my eye most was the BOGO burritos on Wednesdays. Everything that we tried was delicious and fairly priced. You can choose to eat in the self seating dining area, or if you'd like service they have the full bar and restaurant in the back. I was blown away with how it tasted and I felt like I was back in Mexico enjoying their cuisine. I wish I would've went here a lot sooner, but I plan to be back in the future. The staff were friendly.

Came for happy hour with my teen. Enjoyed and would hit again, although I wouldn't call it cheap…read more Queso was delightful Tex-Mex style, not Velveeta-like but like genuine cheese. All the tacos we ordered, which included chicken, mushroom, and carnitas, were delicious and with generous fall-out-when-you-pick-it-up levels of filling. CHips and guac and salsa were more basic, nothing to write home about, but did not in any way regret them. It fell down on the drinks, just a little. The HH margarita specials were all a little off. A little too sour, a little too bland, just never quite perfect (yes, I did try multiple, I'm a reviewer doing reviews, it was research, you don't get to judge). Even so, I would wander here again for HH and maybe for regular.

The service was amazing and our waiter was very friendly and helpful. The other staff help a lot as well and bring food out as it comes so you are always being seen to. Ambiance is a little cramped on the main floor, but they have a beautiful bar and the typical fun downtown leisure hangout. The food was ok. The burrito was nothing to wrote home about. I liked that it was grilled and all, but honestly prefer chipotle by a wide margin. About a 2. The yucas and meatballs were amazing and I was really glad we took the suggestion and ordered them. 4 to 5 The black beans were ehh and nothing really special and a little dry I would not recommend. I love black beans and was a bit disappointed. 1 to 2. The tacos were a hit and if I go again I would definitely lean towards the tacos, chips, and apps. 4 The beet salad was ok but expected a little more for the price. It was ok. 3 All and all a pleasant experience but not anything that will blow you away.

You seat yourself so most people were snagging whatever spot they could get. You order at a QR code so there isn't actually a server. They had water you grab yourself but it was on the other side of the bar and not in an obvious location. So just be aware that it is there but you might need to look for it. The food came quick. My friend got the cool ranch wrap and chips and queso. I got the cool ranch wings. Their chips and queso is very good although I could do without the onions and jalapeño on top. The wings were alright. I wasn't really getting that cool ranch flavor and it tasted more just like your standard dry rub. I wasn't a fan of the ranch itself. My friend didn't care for her wrap as it was cold and she felt that the chicken was actually raw/undercooked. She also didn't get any cool ranch flavor come through: Not sure if I'd recommend this place or need to come back but I have had their quesadillas which were good and I did like their queso.

I've eaten a lot of burritos around Minneapolis, St. Paul, Eagan--you name it--but nothing has ever come close to this masterpiece. The only hiccup was the ordering process. They really want you to order through a QR code, which threw me off for a second. It's not the most intuitive setup, and I definitely had a "wait... am I doing this right?" moment. But once the order was in, everything turned around fast. The service was smooth, friendly, and the food came out quicker than I expected. And that shrimp burrito? Unreal. The tortilla was warm and perfectly toasted, the sauce had that rich, savory kick that makes you pause mid‑bite, and the shrimp... there were so many I genuinely lost count. No filler, no fluff--just pure shrimp glory from start to finish. If you're anywhere near Minneapolis and even remotely into shrimp, get yourself to El Sazón. That burrito deserves its own fan club.

It's Taco Tuesday and I was craving Mexican food, but I didn't just wanna go to the type of place…read moreyou think of when "Mexican" is brought up... I'm fancy, so I wanted something a bit more upscale. I did a little bit of research and wouldn't you know it... Colita came up. So here's how it went! Atmosphere/Appearance: Set south of downtown and a bit west of The Mall of America on Penn Avenue is this gem. There is no private parking lot, but plenty of street parking to leave your fly ride. But once you walk up to the restaurant you can immediately understand the message they're trying to send. Everything looks so modern, straightforward with straight lines, grey colors and light woods. There is a small outdoor section where you can dine if you get lucky enough to land a spot there. Inside carries a very similar style with a little nod to the pueblos and architecture of the southwest. The decor is minimalistic and the "loudest" thing in the room is the live plant wall seated directly behind the bar, which was super cool. Service: I can't remember who took care of us, but we had no issues whatsoever. Food/Drink: I was able to try so many different dishes and drinks here and the list is below... : Xochitl In Love : La Clandestina : Tuna Tostada : Chicken Tinga Tostada : Seared Scallops : Tlayuda : Colita Old Fashioned : Lamb Barbacoa Tacos : Duck Tamal However, my favorite things were the Lamb Barbacoa Tacos, Duck Tamal and Seared Scallops, in that order. The food here is phenomenal, the drinks are excellently crafted and things are served tapas style so you don't get too full off of just one thing! Order a whole bunch of stuff and share with the table! Value: As I mentioned earlier, I wanted upscale and the priced dddooo reflect that. Lol. This is a nice place so be prepared to spend... Like you're downtown somewhere. In conclusion, I loved this place and I will come back over and over. Check this place out the next time you're in the area!
