I had heard about this place from a few coworkers when I was in town for a work trip. They recommended it for being a quick spot to go to for decently authentic food. Some coworkers and I decided to stop in on a weekday at lunch hour.While this place doesn't have the most modern or flashy decor, it offers a large amount of space to accommodate many working people in the area at a busy lunch hour. The menu boards and signage could use some more detail; however, there isn't much that you'll have to figure out if you use Google or simply ask the employees a few questions. This place seems to be family-owned, which I greatly appreciate. It gives it a more authentic/homey feel. This spot is more of a fast casual dining location. You order and pay at the register and wait until your order number is called out. After taking some time to look at the options, I went for a #8 Combo: 3 Tacos Bravos. One option I absolutely loved was the ability to get multiple types of meat in one combo order. I tried 2 types of chicken and one beef option since my order had 3 tacos. In addition the the meat filling, the combo comes with generous amounts of toppings including sour cream, fresh salsa, and cheese. I also thought the price was pretty fair, offering a large amount of food for about $15.My order took less than 10 minutes to be called out, which I thought was a reasonable amount of time. It also came with a complimentary side of freshly fried tortilla chips. There were a nice addition considering there is an unlimited self-serve salsa bar with plenty of salsa accompaniments for the chips. While I've had a lot of Mexican and also Tex-Mex food before, the Tacos Bravos concept was very neat. The outside is a soft taco shell that essentially gets "glued" to a crispy taco shell with a thin layer of refried beans. In addition to very fresh shells, all of the filling options were delicious. Both the Grilled Chicken (Pollo Asado) and Chicken Chipotle (Pollo en Chipotle) were very high quality. Despite having plenty of toppings the chicken flavors and seasoning still stood out. The Steak (Asada) was grilled very well without being too dry. The extensive variety of salsas and sauces also added a nice touch to the meal. Overall, I really enjoyed this place. I honestly had low expectations for the authenticity of a place like this in Minneapolis; I can gladly say or proved me wrong. While it left me with a pretty bad post-lunch slump, the quality and portions for what your dollar gets you here are great.

I was excited to run across Pineda on Lake street during my lunch break. I had frequented a Pineda Taco in Plymouth (not sure if they are affiliated) when I worked nearby so it was a welcome site near my new office. Ordering was easy as someone who used to enjoy the double decker taco supreme at Taco Bell I chose the tacos bravos. Protein selection was good with multiple options for beef, chicken, pork in various sauces. I loved the chipotle chicken and pork. A few of the Beef options were a bit bizarre foods for me. Service was fast and friendly. You get a bag of homemade tortilla chips with your meal. They also have a small salsa bar which was excellent. My only complaint was that a few chunks of pork were a bit fatty and grisly. I will definitely be back though as their pazole caught my eye.

In town from Iowa for a girls trip and this was the first stop. Here's what we ordered: - 3 taco meal - torta - 3 quesadilla meal - horchata - jamaica- mangoFood was super flavorful and a good portion size for the price. Rosa, who took our order, was wonderful. She was very patient with my petty attempt at spanish! Drinks were fresh and very tasty as well. We got our food right away and everything came out as ordered. Super happy with this stop, and will definitely be returning. 10/10!

Going here is dangerous because you will want to come back every day because the food is so damn good. The service is always good and the agua de jamaica and horchata are delicious. Affordable options available as well as extravagant meals. Love this place, I come here at least once a week when I'm in Minneapolis. Cool art, usually pretty clean, comfortable booths but lighting is a little bright.

Went back to give this place another shot; what a mistake! I was hungry so I figured that I'd try again, but I should have kept driving. Man, I should have stayed home! I paid $15 bucks for a burrito that was absolutely horrible. It was extremely salty. It almost felt deliberate. Which, is my point. It was either deliberate or they are horrible cooks. I threw most of it away. I don't care if I'm starving and the next nearest place from this place is 50 miles away. I'm driving the 50 miles!

Y'all... this taco place slaps hard. So many options for different dietary preferences/needs. Ei: I have red meat and dairy intolerance and my boyfriend is a walking trash can (eat anything). We were both VERY satisfied by the end of our meal. They fill each of their tacos to the max and do not skimp. Also... please get their guac too, you can taste the freshness in every bite!Will come back soon!

A lot of varieties to choose from. They have a very long list of Hispanic platters to satisfy everyone's cravings. Their salsas are spicy and authentic. Prices are decent for what you get. One plate will fill you up for sure! Really good sized portions given for your money. They also speak English just in case you didn't know Spanish. Make sure to try their hibiscus water!

First and foremost, the store inside is quite ugly. As of this review, bright lime green walls with fall decorations scattered across. I guess this doesn't matter too much but I have other problems, the prices, I mean they charge extra for everything! They started selling a Lunch special which comes with a Tiger burrito, a bag of chips and a soda, they charge an extra dollar for jumex.. okay.. 2 extra dollars for fries on every other combo and a dollar for avocados and so on. On top of all this, whoever is making those burritos clearly does not try their own creations as they put any liquid ingredients (sour cream) in one spot and that's enough for them. It is not pleasant to bite down into a pocket of sour cream. Most recently I was charged $14.24 for something i have ordered, I check my account balance and they rounded it up to $15. I never agreed to tip, donate or anything at all. The only reason I give it a rating of 2 stars instead of 1 is because at least the food is edible and as long as you don't decide to want fries, avocado and jumex in one order, it would come out to be fairly priced. On second thought, I am changing my rating to 1 star as nobody looks at 2 stars review and I feel the need to inform anybody who decides to come here about what goes on consistently.

Hice un pedido para llevar el 27 de julio. Los cocineros hicieron una pregunta innaporopirata preguntándole a la cajera si habíamos dejado propina al comprar mi pedido. La cajera agitó la botella de propinas y dijo "nada". La única razón por la que no les di propina fue porque la cajera me hizo sentir presionada al ordenar mi comida por teléfono y fue cortante. La última vez que verifiqué, la propina no es obligatoria y solo se debe dar cuando se obtiene un buen servicio. Definitivamente no regresaré.
