Door Dashed food from here late night. The taco salad was slightly above average. While the meat was good, but the beans lacked flavor. From my dasher it seems like the customer service was good. Food was made fast.

You know the Mexican jernt gonna be when you walk in and they got a armed security guard in the bitch at 4pm on a Saturday.... This was 2nd time eating here so I decided to try something random I've never ordered before, after peepin out the picture menu on the glass like a boomer at the local Chinese jernt, I ordered me a polo asado Alambre, the flavors combining between the grilled chicken, chorizo, bacon, peppers, onions, oaxaca chez cilantro n pineapple was just they even tossed in some limes and some pickelt radisheez in the box. Don't forget to order yourself a Horchata to wash it down, cuz who don't love them some cinnamon toast crunch milk water CHOOOOOOOOT with a total of under $20 for the meal and a medium Horchata, I gotta say this place is not too shabby indeed 4.5 for churr (I would go 5 stars as my asada burrito was absolute as well the visit before, except I had to spend 5 minutes finger blasting tomato out of it in between bites as I ordered it no tomato/ no pico and the burrito was loaded with pico)

This place satisfies my street taco craving every time and is probably my most-ordered restaurant on Doordash. I moved to Minneapolis from California last year, and the three-taco combo with lengua and a strawberry agua fresca literally cures my homesickness.

One of my favorite authentic Mexican spots in Minneapolis. The quesadilla platter is delicious and the menudo soup was great! We ordered takeout and will continue to order from this spot!

Absolutely worst place possible on lake extremely unsanitary behind the counter I caught the employee putting something that fell on the ground back on somebody's order when I confronted him he told the security to escort me out I can't believe somewhere like this is open

This is a brilliant go-to spot for us, and we've never been disappointed. The salsa bar is excellent. Especially love the Huevos con Chorizo, but we're still exploring all the options.

Southern California, born and raised. I grew up spoiled for amazing Mexican fare, with the hands-down best hole-in-the-wall joint in the area being easily our favorite lunch destination as college students. While the Twin Cities has some decent Hispanic eateries, none ever quite hit the spot. This might either be it or at least the closest I've come yet. It was so good, in fact, that I didn't forget to take a photo after a bite, I just chose not to. Om nom nom!The Cinco de Mayo/Dia de La Madre street fair was in full effect, so the 20-minute line I waited in might not be typical. Why am I checking this place out instead of enjoying the fair's street fare? The lines for the popular spots are insane, I'm the lead for a short-staffed event, my team highly recommends this place, and I don't have cash on me and am not spending time on finding out which street vendors take card. "Hi there, what's the difference between a burrito and a California burrito?"The California burrito has fries in it. I'm starving, so: "Sure, why not."With everything?No idea what that means exactly. Line's long though, and I'm at the only register: "Sure, and a large horchata, please." Total of somewhere over $15.Tidy environment, with employees bustling around ensuring clean surfaces and floors. Given the amount of traffic, this was highly appreciated. Super packed due to the event, but I manage a quiet booth to relieve my legs going on 21,000+ steps that day.My number is called within minutes. They work fast!There's an indescribable chew to the thin wrapper ingredient of rolled food items when done well, be it the rice paper of a colorful spring roll or the flour tortilla of a hefty burrito. And this, this had that perfect bite to it. I was so taken by that alone that I happily focused on nothing but my food for the next 10 minutes.First corner bite revealed the glistening crisp-tender fries that somehow associated this burrito with my home state. Second bite smack in the middle uncovered a bright heap of green from a generous helping of fresh, creamy avocado - yes, please and thank you! Third bite showed the savory carne asada I'd opted for. Why is there lime in my photo? Because I've enjoyed adding lime to cut the overall salt in burritos since my first college order. Definitely a fan of the California burrito. So much so that I might pass on visiting the location close to me simply because the menu doesn't include that option. And I'll likely be visiting a location soon - already craving another! Now to update foodie friends that we have a new place to check out!

This neighborhood spot is a hidden gem. I was happy the business not only sustained itself during construction but it thrived. The restaurant expanded into a business location that did not survive. Now, I must say, I love authentic Mexican food. So when I found Pineda Tacos it made me happy. I was excited to try their horchata and tamarind drinks. On a couple occasions I tried their beef dish: Meat plate special: Steak and chicken with rice and beans with salad and guacamole. Then other time I have enjoyed the seafood and meat combo dish :Mar y Tierra also known as Earth and Sea: Shrimp and Steak Combo. Both dishes were delicious. I loved every bite because the meal was full of flavor. The rice and beans are my favorite. The beans are the perfect texture and has a nice balance of spices. Now the beef gravy made my soft tacos divine and very delectable. I love that I always have enough for leftovers.
