Taco Libre

Not the same anymore.Back when Taco Libre was newer, it was more of an authentic feeling. Can for sure feel the changes they made. I do like the murals and art/decor upgrades to represent the city more. But other than that prices went up and I feel like quality of food went down as well spice levels.The Machete was for sure what made me try Taco Libre in the first Place. It's basically like 3 tacos shells put together to form one big taco. I using get it with chicken tinga. Like I said at first the food was really good. Over time hasn't been as good. They get pretty busy and food can take a while to come out but it's usually not a big deal. They also have a location in Edina area which is more convenient for me now.

Customer service at Taco Libre is always on point. One day I got there at 10:49 (they close at 11 during the week) they still serviced me with no problems. I always get the machete with half steak and half ground beef. The meat is always moist and never dry. Make sure you get one of the sauces. The light green sauce is the hottest and if you're not accustomed to spicy foods avoid this one and get the salsa verde. The machete is big enough for 2 people to share but I'm greedy I don't share mine. Don't forget to get the best churro in Minnesota. That's a fact!

Wonderful Mexican food with lots of flavor. The street tacos were excellent and so was the Machete. We ordered both with the Pastor and it was bursting with flavor.Really impressed with the service too.

Ordered street tacos, one fish and with mushrooms, and both were fresh and delicious with the right amount of spice. Love the salsa bar too!

Get the machete! You won't be disappointed. It's a lot of food, you'll definitely have leftovers. I order mine half pastor and half carnitas with the medium salsa. Pro tip: order a side of the consume to dip your machete in! The birria tacos are usually really good as well. Last time I ordered them they were a little 'meh' but it was probably just a bad day. The service was great. I ordered pickup so I had a brief interaction with the front staff. Everyone was super nice and they double checked our order before handing it over!

Gringo Tacos are fire. As in GOOD, also i really enjoy their salsa and the machete! This is one of the best taco chains in town. If not THEE best

Most pictures are from years ago and I can say they must have declined. My food was nasty I couldn't even finish the soggy shrimp tacos. Shrimp were soft as if they were boiled (ew) and my steak taco was so fatty and greasy the tortilla was soaking. Don't get me started on the mushy flavorless rice. I eat authentic Mexican food often and this just wasn't it. Wish I could get my $18 back that was not okay.

We love the Machete. The protein choices are wonderful. Steak, Cabeza (beef cheek, Saudero (brisket), Birria, Menga (tongue), Tripa (beef tripe), Pastor, Corizo, Carnitas, Pollo Asada and Tinga de Pollo (shredded chicken w/ onion & chipotle sauce) not to mention their street tacos, tortas and miscellaneous sides.Fast and well loaded. Good quality.

Bussin! This must be their version of chipotle in MN. I was lowkey pressed looking for a place to grab food since it was getting so late, but this place popped up on yelp and I was able to get there to snag 2 bowls! Carne asada was absolutely delicious! Pay for the small upgrade and just get it! It doesn't have veggies like your typical qdoba or chipotle, but flavors are still good! Quick & affordable meal with awesome flavors! Horchata was mid though, but complements the meal!

The ordering kiosk was a pain because I ordered a lunch special but there wasn't any way to add guacamole. The food was very bland ~ no flavor at all. The Carnitas were so juicy that it ran all over the plate and soaked through the shells of both tacos. Very disappointing ~ won't be back
