Tavial Grill

This place is sneaky good. Tucked into the west seventh area of St. Paul - the building would make you think there isn't a lot to offer, but don't take Tavial at face value.The chicken enchiladas were pretty darn good! I asked them to spice it up and was given some light green sauce to drizzle over them. Wow! It really packed a kick and was super tasty. My only regret is that I didn't also get these spicy jalapeño roll up things they were advertising as an appetizer. They looked super good! There is a lot of Mexican food to pick from on the east side of the twin cities - but this place is right up there in terms of taste.

The tamale's flavor was really good, the chicken was scarce though so that was a little disappointing. The torta's chicken was chicken tinga. I wasn't the biggest fan of it. There were good bites and there were bites that the flavor was just odd. Overall I don't think I'd come again it wasn't my cup of tea and I was craving Mexican today so I'm a bit disappointed.

Went out for a quick food. Service was great, food came out fast. Awesome Mexican place to have a drive through- it's rare up here in MN. Ambience very cozy place with old school diner feel.Order a good amount of food:Asada fries: it's ground beef well flavor over cricket fries. Smother with nacho cheese sauce. Very good- fries was crispy and soft El pastor tacos: did not taste like pastor flavor. It was just sweet like flavor with pineapple.Not much flavor Asada dinner plate: same ground beef on the fries with a salad , beans , and rice. Good but not great.El pastor tamales: tamales didn't have much flavor in the masa, the pork inside was super dry- flavorlessHorchata : very good and sweet but a lot of cinnamon- overall refreshing good.If looking for drive through or quick okay Mexican food then coming here is fine.Disclaimer: for people who comesFrom California who loves Mexican food or if youKnows what the flavor of Mexican food is, most places here in the twins cities or MN, is not Mexican FLavor food. Reason be- most Spanish speaking folks or Mexicans restyup here are operated by Central Americans or Latin Americans. If you feel like why theMexican restaurants flavor is different or doesn't taste right - that is the reason why. The majority of Spanish speaking folks up here are canteal Americans or from Latin America.

Excellent place. Unpretentious simple and delicious Authentic Mexican foods. Chilliquiles with steak. The steak is perfectly cooked with burnt edges and perfectly seasoned. Also had lengua taco. Generous amount of lengua and amazing flavors

A great family run establishment with the friendliest customer service around. The food is always great. Super fresh and flavorful. We've ordered several times and will recommend anyone to give it a try.

Still the same wonderful food and quick service. Is MN spicy not Mexican spicy unless you add the red sauce! ( which is delicious oh by the way.) This is the most authentic Mexican food we've found in the area, further exemplified/demonstrated by the number of Hispanic men coming through at lunchtime for meals! Highly recommend.

All I can say is YUM!! Tavial Grill did not disappoint in the slightest. Of course this was an Uber Eats order but I ordered a variety of items so I could get a broad taste of the menu as best as possible. Shoutout to a review from fellow elite, Ralph M, you were right, that meat cheek quesadilla is no joke - sooo good!!I ordered the cheek meat quesadilla (so tender and juicy and so flavorful!), the carne asada torta (also insanely flavorful, I've never had a torta before because I was always afraid it would be too much bread but this is sooo yummy!!), the chips + guacamole (guac was a little too tart for my liking but the chips were great), the tres leches cake (super moist++), galaxy cake (chocolate cake with caramel), and two horchatas! Huge order but so worth it getting to try as many things as possible on the menu. Would 10/10 recommend this restaurant, I will be favoriting it and coming back anytime I have a Mexican craving! Recommending to all of my friends :).

It's my favorite spot in town. The workers are always kind and the food always gets prepared fast. It's worth trying the entire menu but I don't tend to waver from my three favorite dishes:1. Chimichanga Plate. Fried to perfection and you can get a side of their delicious rice. 2. Tinga or Pastor Burrito: Both meat options come with a ton of flavor and the burritos themselves are packed to the brim. Highly recommend pairing it with their verde hot sauce for some kick.3. Torta: I usually get carnitas and it's hands down the best torta I've had. Always baked perfectly to get a nice crisp on the meat and cheese. The sauce seems to have a chipotle flavor which may not be for all but makes it my personal favorite.

Torta de milanesa me encanto! 10/10Food was amazing! Definitely recommend . Small establishment but the food was amazing! Definitely coming back.

The quesadilla with Birria meat was great. So was the rice and beans. But the chopped steak had a bone in it that almost broke my tooth. Also the queso was not at all what I expected and not with the price. It was the smallest container of cheese that tasted like Tostito dip. Not worth $5.50
