Mi Ama Grocery

I came here on a whim to buy laudary soap, and ended up staying for dinner while my laundry washed in the laundry mat a few blocks away. This place is as local and authentic as it gets. While the cashier speaks English, most of the patrons do not. That's a great thing in my book if you're looking for good Mexican food that the locals enjoy.I got three tacos ($1 ea on Tuesdays!) to try several different meats. All were on small white corn tortillas. The chorizo was delicious! Lean, spicy, and seared crispy. The pollo (chicken) was tasty, but a little flat after the chorizo. The barbacoa (shredded beef) was very tasty, but very fatty. I also tried a papusa. It was good, but not as authentic as the papusa I had in El Salvador last week.Swallow your inner Gringo and come give this place a try. (I am a total gringo btw) They will even tolerate you trying to order in broken high school Spanish!

This is a great local neighborhood Mexican market. I come here to get the cooked pork, jalapeño salsa and rice from the deli. Simply the best pork and salsa. Great selection of fresh items at the best prices. The spices and sauces are always available. Besides the great food is the service. I have asked numerous times how to make a particular dish and they are willing to help me out. I try to make authentic food and not of Mexican decent but they are always so nice. They know me no...they come up to me when I look lost. Lol. Not sure if the are related to Andale on Nicollet but the selection and service her is so much better. BYW...we had a graduation party catered with some of their items!!! They are the best!!

Hole in the wall. Not to be missed on Taco Tuesday. I went with al Pastor. So tender and tasty. Green salsa was flavorful and didn't burn my mouth. The missing piece here is no homemade tortillas.

Best part about this place is TACO TUESDAY!! $1 tacos.. so yummy and the service is quick. I go every Tuesday!

Ehhhhhhhh ordered posole and got menudo instead. The barnacoa was ok, nothing to write home about though.

Decided to try out this place since Andale was on Triple D and packed. Pretty much the same formula.....little market and restaurant connected together. I had the carne asada taco platter.....3 tacos with rice and beans. You order at the window then they call out your number when it's ready. The tacos were pretty flavorful....came with lime wedges, cilantro and onions. You could taste the seasonings on the meat. The rice was somewhat standard but the beans were some of the best I've had. To quote Ahnold.....I'll be back!

I love this little mercado! Anytime I'm making a Mexican recipe, my first stop and usually my only stop, is here. Their prices are fair - think of those cellophane bags of dried Anaheim peppers or chipotle's that cost upwards of $6 at Lunds, Kowalskis, Cubs, here they are about $3. Their deli is amazing- all kinds of cheeses, pico de gallo is the best; always fresh though the level of "hot" is a bit above medium. They also have prepared carnitas, barbacoa, and if you are interested, goat (they will let you sample first!). You can also get these amazing packaged Mexican potato chips! This store also offers daily necessities and fresh produce. Oh - hot tamales and coffee are at the register. The service can be a little slow, but seriously, it beats running around town for recipe components and paying a lot more!

It's part good. On taco Tuesday, tacos are only $1.00 each. The wait time varies. I waited 15 min for my tacos on my last visit. Meats are good, but I was left with an, "Oleo" grease taste in my mouth after I left. Really not good. Cheap food and a good value, but there are much better tacos around. I'll give it another shot as one of my pals raves about this place.

Found a large cooked bug in the food, very disgusting. Looked like a bean at first but last I checked beans don't have legs.

The guacamole here is absolutely the best we've had, and we have been to many places!Ask for your 10% card!Very friendly staff also!
