Driving from Des Moines back home to Bemidji, we stopped in Albert Lea and decided to give 1910 Fresh Mexican a chance. This place is the real deal. I had the Al Pastor Tacos with beans and rice and the Avocado Sauce and husband had the Barbacoa Dipping Tacos with beans, rice and Brava Sauce. The beans were seasoned perfectly, creamy and delicious (something I always judge.) the rice was fresh, flavorful and not too salty. The barbacoa and Al pastor, both, were high quality, perfectly cooked, tender, and absolutely delicious. Service was awesome. The owner was cooking and wiping down tables and making sure everyone loved their food - and we certainly did. We come through often, and now I won't dread the drive! Fantastic!

Wait time wasn't long for the food, maybe 10 min. My Mac looked pretty, but was some of the less good Mac I've had. The noodles were undercooked, chicken was overcooked. Not very good portions. I wasn't too impressed with my mac at all. Would not get again. My mom hated the soup, it was way too thick, was more of a chowder type base. She only took a few bites of it. My step dad loved his sandwich though.

Both of our burgers came out well done. When I told the waitress that they were well done, she said "well I put it on the ticket" and walked away. I tried to take another bite but it really was way overdone and for me it was not worth eating (my husband ate his and said even though it was way overcooked he was too hungry to not eat it). Next time the waitress came around my husband flagged her down and told her that my burger was much worse than his and I really couldn't eat it. She said she would take it off the check , but didn't ask if I would like anything else or have it re-made. Luckily I had ordered a side salad and ended up just having that and eating something else once I got home.

My review is based on 3 separate visits to & from Minnesota. My wife & I are both Scandinavian so of course we loved the Viking/Nordic theme with tall ceilings & a large Fireplace. We have ordered the Skol classic Breakfast/ Brisket Melt w Mac & Cheese & multiple times the Breakfast Tot - Chos ( Heaping plate of tots covered w Gravy, Cheese & Eggs ) Everything has always been very good & served quite quickly. My only complaint is that you have to go get your own refreshments & when done eating you have to go stand in line at the cash register to pay your bill. But other than that we very much enjoyed all 3 visits to the Skol Tavern & we will absolutely return again.
