I picked up a burrito for lunch after a friend recommended Mexico City and it was exactly what I needed! It came with chips and salsa which were tasty and seemed house made. The person working was super nice and friendly when I picked up my order. Definitely going back to try more of their food!

You're not going to find better tacos anywhere near here. To be fair, there's really only one other taco place anywhere near here and it's also pretty good, but MCC is better!This place is pretty straightforward if you've had tacos before...and you've had tacos before, right? Not fancy, but plenty of seating both indoors and out make this a perfect local stop.

What a cute little eatery that I would have never known about! Thankfully I was hungry for tacos while running errands and Google steered me in the right direction!I asked what was good here and they said the enchiladas so that's what I ordered. Got them to go with some chips & Queso. The service was friendly and efficient. The space was bright and cheerful. The carnitas enchiladas were superb! I'd definitely go back and try more options here. A delicious little enchilada stand!

Mexico City Cafe is delicious every time! The mole sauce is divine -- highly recommend trying it! Street parking is available and free, otherwise there's a free parking lot a few doors down. The building it easily accessible and seating are simple tables and chairs. The space is small but I've never had issues finding a seat. Order at the counter and find a seat! The staff will bring chips and salsa to the table while you wait and will deliver the food hot and fresh. On one occasion they had run out of rice because it was so busy - the owner came out and personally apologized. He then brought out a heaping plate of fresh rice! Amazing experience. I usually have plenty to take home for a second meal, but there's also no shame in cleaning your plate!

Mexico City Cafe is a great little restaurant in SLP. The staff is friendly. I really like their bowls, the ingredients have always been fresh. The real star of the show is the tres leches cake - perfectly moist, creamy, and delicious!

We happened upon this place and had no idea it existed! I'm not sure we had a good enough experience to return, but glad we tried it.The ambiance inside is mixed: order at the front, half exposed preparation area, and some high-top seating where the team brings out your food when ready. We got chips and guac, taco platter, quesadilla, and enchiladas. The young cashiers said they are known for their enchiladas so we were excited to try them out. Service was friendly, and seemed to have more than plenty staff onsite.Overall, prices felt steep and we weren't overly impressed with the flavors. Food didn't come out piping hot, and everything tasted pretty basic - not the vibrant, powerful flavors we look for in our tacos. The enchiladas were good, but felt a bit soggy and the green sauce didn't have much flavor. The quesadilla was pretty small and again, no flavors to write home about. I can see this being an easy spot for folks that live nearby, but don't see us coming back since there are so many other taco spots in the Cities we love.

I was quite surprised with this place. Usually I go to Central Ave or Lake St for Mexican food in Mpls, so it was nice to get some good tacos in SLP with some friends who live in the area.I really enjoyed the chicken taco but I wasn't a big fan of the fish taco as it had more fishy flavor and less seasoning than I would have liked. The meat filling of the tacos were less than other places I been to that's okay, just an observation. They rotated on different aqua Fresca flavors and this time we got watermelon which was very refreshing- I wish I got another one to go!We also had the tres leches cake and churros with chocolate dripping sauce- both were sweet and delicious. The churros were warm, crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside- it was my favorite item!The place is pretty small and you order at the counter inside then they bring your food to you. I definitely recommend eating outside on their patio if you're able!They also seem to have all day breakfast items if you're into that!

Love the refried beans! I can tell they were made from scratch. I've liked everything I've ordered from here: plantains, tacos, and chile relleno. Will definitely be coming back. This place is a gem! Casual, quick and homemade.
