Pineda Taco

Pineda had a glow-up this winter and the shop is gorgeous inside! New, simplified menu with the big hitters like tortas, burritos, and my absolute favorite Al pastor tacos. The seasoning used for Pineda's Al pastor is balanced well, the pork is tender, and you get a fair amount of meat in the tacos along with cilantro, onion, and lime. I took my order to-go and didn't wait long at all. Service was great and the people were really friendly. If you haven't been here since the remodel, you must try it and enjoy the beautiful space!

Wonderful locally owned Mexican restaurant! The guacamole is some of the best I've ever had. The staff is lovely and I've never had a problem ordering, even though it is definitely a bi-lingual spot. It's counter service but really, with the excellent food it's a couple steps up from your regular fast food place!

The Facebook menu prices are way off (they have no website). It says $6.68 for a regular burrito , and that is the reason I came here. The price seemed good. I walked in and the lady who took my order barely spoke English. I tried to ask what the price was, because of course individual prices they weren't even posted in the restaurant, but she couldn't understand me. By the time the guy rang me up, it was too late. $10.68 for a regular burrito!! Not even that big either. It's not a good sign when a company who doesn't even have a website can't even keep their Facebook page up to date. I'm from California and I know what "good authentic Mexican food" tastes like. Anyone who says in their review that this place has authentic Mexican food has no idea what they're talking about and has never had such. Taco Bell is more authentic than this restaurant. The burrito was subpar. Store bought tortilla loaded with preservatives. The ratio of rice to everything else was too high and it was over cooked, bland and mushy. The Al pastor had very little flavor and the tomatoes were overkill; sliced instead of diced. Had I paid $6.68 like I expected, they may have gotten 3 stars and I wouldn't be as upset. Charging almost $11 for this garbage is ridiculous. Save your money!

Go to the two other locations in Minneapolis. If I could give this restaurant a negative score I honestly would! Worst customer service experience EVER! I am leaving a review for the owner to see his employees behavior. Also, if I could save anybody some gas money and time that's a plus. I love Pineda so after a long day I drove to this location because I was craving some tacos. All I got was a disrespectful employee turning off the sign and locking the door as I parked up. Closing early 25- 30 mins early is an inconvenience to your customers especially when the hours are set both online and at the location.

This place has good food at a good price, and comes out quickly. I've never had a bad experience here, and the building is kind of cool.I like the enchiladas here, especially the Spicy Pork Enchilada with Red Sauce. If you're on a budget, the ground beef burrito special is the way to go.

Authentic Mexican food. Extremely friendly. They always open up late. Unprofessional.

Tonight I ordered a large burrito. I paid an extra almost $4 for guacamole and another dollar for sour cream through doordash. What I got ended up costing me $22 for one pickup burrito (the large burrito is 14.99 before add ons. ) thinking to myself these must be decent people they would take into account just how much money that is for one burrito. What I got were two tortillas filled with rice and two slices of tomato and a near pinch of meat. I hadn't been planning on eating this until I had gotten home and by the time I got around to it the place was closed but the sheer level of anger I felt when I realized what I had received was beyond anything I have experience in any restaurant. There was Zero lettuce, barely any tomato, 0 onion, zero cilantro, zero sour cream, zero cheese, zero guacamole, and zero beans. I have almost ten years of food service experience as a professional cook and knew what I was getting into the second I bit into it. What the actual f*** Pineda tacos like actually I don't usually go and ask for my money back as I assume and give the benefit of the doubt that maybe things might be difficult at the time. But this time I am taking pictures and I will be distinctly demanding my money back tomorrow with pictures of the disgrace you gave me this isn't just disrespect it is straight up robbery. Horrible restaurant, horrible food, horrible employees, horrible management. I should also mention that when I went to pick up my order they barely had any idea what I was talking about when I told them I had an online order. Pure. Shit. It also didn't help that all of the people working there had their masks pulled below their chin rendering them basically useless. Either they are too stupid to know that or assholes that don't care about anyone possibly getting sick.Update: It is now the next day and I have since I woke up been plagued with torturous diarrhea and sick all day. I am so mad at this place.

Delicious authentic Mexican food. Their street tacos are fantastic but the true dish to try is this: half spicy steak, half chopped steak burrito with light beans and light rice. It's chock full of flavor and absolutely amazing.

Pure Goodness! Humongous burrito that fit the name- Burro Gordo. This was not the intended destination, but really glad I settled on this place. Ordered J the Spicy Chicken- Burro Gordo. The guy making it was so nice, helpful and generous with the ingredients. It was one big a$$ burrito and money well spent. I was told it had a lot of zip to. The leftovers will suffice for awhile. I ordered the Carne Asada which smelled and tasted heavenly. I love the grilled onions and grilled jalapeno. Such incredible flavor. Comes with 8 corn tortillas or 4 flour. I chose the corn. It's a lot of meat. Also comes with rice and beans.I love their rice and really like that it was plain spanish rice. Exactly how I like it. Plain and tasty without all the frozen confetti looking vegetables thrown in.Service is excellent. Staff is helpful and friendly. Service with a smile and appreciation.For quick, tasty and inexpensive this is a first rate restaurant. Spent the same amount here as I would at Taco John's for much less food and much lower quality.Pineda all the way..

Great food. Great service. Great price. I love ordering food from here. The chimichanga is the best.
