Been here many times. Always packed with Mexican construction workers over lunch break, if that tells you anything. Great food.

The best place to eat Mexican food, 100% accurate as a Mexican the I lived in Mexico for 25 years I approved

Not that bad for lunch Nothing for entertainment but Univision I've been wanting to check this place out for some time now based on the Yelp reviews as work brings me down to Chaska from time to time. Torn between a three and a four. Four for the food, two for everything else, so three it is. Place is a little tricky to find. It is located in a strip mall with several other markets and eateries. Most of the stores in the strip mall have entrances right at the sidewalk. To get to Chaska My Love, you need to go inside an enclosed portion of the strip mall. From the outside driving by, all you can see is a small sign that says "Mexican Restaurant." Went with the enchilada plate for $8.00 and a can of diet soda (yes, soda - I live in Wisconsin) for a buck. Order up at the counter, and they bring the food out to you. I would say it took about ten minutes from ordering until I had the food brought out to my table. They did bring out some complimentary chips and salsa while I was waiting. Nothing mind blowing, but nice touch. The enchiladas were tasty. The sauce was kind of sweet which I am not accustomed to on enchiladas. I really liked it. The rice was also great, perfect texture and kind of buttery with no frills. Just the way I like it. The beans were standard. Be prepared to keep yourself busy on your cellphone if you decide to eat there. There is only one television which is on Univision with no sound. It looked like there was some kind of soap opera going on with two chicks who were yelling and screaming at each other. In my mind, I was chanting "CATFIGHT, CATFIGHT!" Alas, no such luck. They went their separate ways without coming to fisticuffs. If I lived in the area, I would be a semi-regular for lunch - probably for take-out only. There is also no cerveza and no outdoor seating. It also had really poor lighting for my tastes. They had lights on over the counter and kitchen, but no lights on in the seating area. Lastly, I'm not sure if they have air conditioning or not - it was a bit on the hot side in there today. read more

Weird name, hard to find, and all the ambiance of a truck stop - I'm in. I figured if it has all of those things going against it and stays in business it must be pretty good. I was glad my hunch (and the solid Yelp ratings) paid off. We ordered an Asada Burrito, Huarache, Enchiladas, and some fried potato patties that I forget the name of. All of it was good and I am sure we'll be back. read more

Flavors I can taste! As authentic as I can find in MSP! Fair prices and friendly staff. I found this place strictly based on Yelp recommendations, which is funny because all of the other reviews are from Groupon related visitors. I didn't have any coupon, but was yearning for some down and dirty mexican favorites. This place surely delivered. I have to say, my wife is quite picky about the restaurants we visit, meaning they have to be quite clean, and "safe" as she would call it. This isn't either of those. But I could tell it was family owned, authentic, and genuine. The food tasted that way too. Cilantro in my burrito? Yes please! Thick cut deep fried chips in my nachos? Yup! The location is odd, next to a dingy laundry mat. The interior is very Spanish. They sell cell phone cases at the same counter you order your dinner for example. The TV mounted to the wall seemed to have failed, so they brought in the nearest 42" tube TV they could find and popped it down on a table. Sure, this place could be cleaned up a bit and use some new furniture, flooring, and menu - but the food is why I came and why I will come back. Get it to go, call ahead if you think of it. You'll love the flavor and taste that you wouldn't find going to some place like Don Pablo's chains. read more

Yuk all around. Walking in there is an overflowing garbage can outside. Booths are ripped open an stuffing coming out. Family (I assume owners) set in the back set up with their with a playpen and baby stuff. Got our chips and salsa first - we all made a face when we tried the chips - they were dark brown and tasted so stale, like made a week ago, so we left those. I had the flautas which were made fresh but they were literally only half filled, the ends were totally just tortilla. My daughter ordered chilaquiles - she left most of it. Mother in law had a torta, took one bite and left it. They brought out a complimentary tamale but nobody liked that either. Mother in law went to get a burger after we left. My daughter had the horchata which they assured her they make fresh - she was certain it was made from a powder mix. Dive places are often the best, but not this one. It is dirty and nasty. Go to La Hermosa. read more

I used to love this place and my friends and me really liked going here if we wanted good mexican food. Unfortunately I was very disappointed last time - there was meat in my vegetarian dish (really small pieces so I realised it once it was almost all gone..). Very sad and disappointing moment for me which now does not make me want to come here again. Besides that I think this place is great for someone who is not vegetarian or anything like that. Don't feel like this is a place to go to with special needs which is sad especially in times like now where a lot of people are more aware of what they eat. read more

Chaska My Love - Mexican Near Me - Chaska, Minnesota

Tucked away in a small strip mall in the heart of downtown Chaska that's seen better days, the aroma of the laundromat next door greets visitors in the hallway before you step through to a slice of Mexico. Authentic tacqueria favorites such as carne asada tacos, tamales and bistec, are well portioned, hearty, and tasty. On the weekends, they offer Mexican specialties such as menudo. The TV hanging from the wall permanently tuned to Univision adds background ambiance to the spartan tables and cafeteria-grade chairs.But then again, noone comes to a restaurant like this to impress a date. Nope -- people come for the delicious food and excellent value. read more

Excellent and authentic. You walk up to the counter and order. There are photos of the items, but no descriptions. No fountain pop; bottled mexican favorites and other bottled soda. The staff was friendly and helpful and explained the ingredients and menu options. The food was prepared very quickly and brought to our booth. I had #21, chips and guacamole, $4. The guacamole was made to order, and was excellent and fresh. I also had #13, 4 tacos, $6. I asked for beans instead of meat as I'm a vegetarian. Instead of the refried beans you normally get at Mexican restaurants, these were like pureed black beans. The beans were very tasty and had a great texture. The tacos were very good, I would order them again. My husband ordered #7, enchiladas, $7. His options were chicken, beef, or cheese. He chose chicken. He really liked them. They came with the black beans and rice. The rice was moist. I didn't love the regular red salsa that came with the chips, but the green salsa and the salsa with the tacos were excellent. Restroom was clean. Lots of hispanic patrons, which I think is a good sign! read more

Great place to grab authentic Mexican food. Some of the items you can't even make out or understand the name, which should tell you its authentic. There are pictures though. The staff is very friendly. They can tell you in English what an item is if you are confused. read more

Let's just say this small hole in the wall restaurant is officially one of my favorites to get authentic Mexican food from. They offer a variety of entrees placed on top of the wall with photos (which is very helpful if you don't know Spanish) and the quick service with the quality of food is why I rated five stars. I've had the al pastor and carne asada tacos and both have been so flavorful and the crisp corn tortilla completes the dish. My personal favorite is the chicken flautas which are basically rolled taquitos filled with chicken and whatever seasoning they use for the chicken is to die for. read more

We used a groupon for our visit. I love visiting local small businesses, actually they are my favorite. This place had the look and smells but didnt deliver. 1. Chips were cold but were shinny due to all the great that had been absorbed. 2. I ordered the alambres tacos, good portion of chorizo, asada and al pastor. All the tortillas that came with it were greasy!! I had to use napkins to soak up the grease. 3. My wife had the chile relleno dinner plater, she said the food had no taste just grease. I would suggest that the business ease up on the grease or frier and concentrate on the flavor of the food. read more

We've loved living so close to Chaska My Love and enjoying their fresh, delicious meals. I have yet to have something I didn't like. Everything is made so fresh and with such great flavors! It's also extremely reasonably priced. read more

Chaska My Love - two plates of mexican food - Mexican Near Me - Chaska, Minnesota

The food was really bland, not authentic at all, and the cook was rude to the cashier. when i went to wash my hands there was no soap either. read more

It's great to see some authentic Mexican food in chaska. The staff was sort of friendly, coulda been better. The food was only okay. It lacked flavor. Maybe try a touch of seasoning when you cook? Bland. I eat a lot of authentic Mexican food in Minneapolis and this isn't as good . Not sure what other people are talking about but this is far from the best Mexican food. the people of chaska most likely aren't as familiar with authentic Mexican food and you are kind of giving it a bad reputation. It is one of my favorite foods. Also it is located in a shabby looking run down strip mall. Not very inviting. The place looks dirty. It is still nice to have something different in this small town. But with a little more effort you guys could be great. Or leave it the same and your reputation will remain below average. Sorry guys. Whomp whomp. read more

I can't tell you how amazing this food is. For those of you with tastebuds that crave predictability, stick to the other Mexican place in town. For those of you that want a fiesta en tu boca, go to Chaska My Love! Their menu is numbers based, and I couldn't make up my mind because everything looked delicious. I asked the cashier, "Ques es tu favorito?" and he replied with "Numero tres!" I took his suggestion and I couldn't have been happier. What is the numero tres? You'll have to go there and find out! Unique spices and flavors that you definitely won't find at the other Mexican place in town! I have a pretty high tolerance for spiciness and asked if I could get some spicier salsa than the red salsa that came with the chips. What they brought me was some of the best salsa I've ever had--it was a green jalapeno based salsa that had a good amount of heat, but some fantastic citrusy flavor too. There's no doubt that I'll be back here many times to try everything on the menu. Viva Chaska My Love! read more

Great authentic Mexican restaurant . Great place for families. Pop and water. Felt like old Mexico, no A/C. We like it! read more

The service is extremely slow sometimes and after i watched them make the burritos I will never go back here. If anyone wants their burritos put together on a paper plate and microwaved to heat up then this is your place. The pork and chicken were both dry and a little too bland for a Mexican restaurant. It is safe to say I won't be going back here ever again. read more

Food is excellent and FRESH. Service is good too. Bit of a language barrier though. Menu needs to be professionally done. Place is run down torn seats etc. But. If you can ignore that the food is authentic and delicious. I am a repeat customer. read more

First time, had heard good things. Got take out. Admittedly I am picky about my tacos and other authentic Mexican, I've been to so many good taquerias around the twin cities and have traveled many many times to Mexico. Anyway- order was missing 2 tacos, didn't get any salsa (at all) that I specifically asked to get, the tacos al pastor were not even close, and over all the tacos were meh. Chicken Tamales had barely any meat and were fairly flavorless. For a $30 meal I got 2 tamales, 4 tacos (2 were missing), rice and beans. Will NOT be returning. read more

This is not a fancy restaurant, but rather a solidly good place that serves authentic Mexican fare to people who want to eat good food without spending a lot of money. It is popular with the small, but growing Mexican community in Chaska, and really seems to see this as its target audience. A personal favorite is the Torta Cubana, a sandwich that is one of those foods that everyone should, at some point in their lives, experience. Bring your appetite and a couple of bucks. You will leave happy. read more

Food was pretty good, I think reasonably authentic. Prices are reasonable. But it is not a dining out experience type restaurant. More in the fast food category. There are no fountain drinks so no drink refills. Tables and booths are small so even tight for a group of 4. I will go back again but more for a fast food lunch than a dinner out. read more

I purchased a restaurant.com certificate for this place a few weeks ago and was going to give it a try for dine in but decided to try take out instead. That was a good choice as I would never eat in at this place, never its in a run down strip mall and it's pretty dingy. That being said the food was great! We had enchiladas, burrito, guacamole and a quesadilla the burrito was prob one of the best I've had! Check it out amazing food! read more

Delicious, authentic Mexican in downtown Chaska. This restaurant is a walk up and order style place. The menu is small, but reasonably priced. There are pictures, but no descriptions of the dishes. There are no fountain drinks or alcohol, just bottles or cans of soda or water. I would highly recommend this place for a quick casual meal. read more

Got a lunch to go. The guac is outstanding with big hunks of avacado and onion all over it and covered with fresh limes. Great little family place with warm meals that are good for your soul. read more

Love this place! Best guacamole ever! Obsessed with their flutas! Just an FYI on Tuesdays they are only open until 3:30pm so the hours on here are not accurate! :( read more

I'm never disappointed. Such a great to have this authentic restaurant in town. This is a favorite place for my wife and I to enjoy a great lunch or dinner. It is a very friendly place. read more

The food here is truly spectacular, for authentic Mexican food--best I've ever had in the US.

Best Mexican food in the area. Very authentic!

If you're looking for a fancy place, this isn't it. But if you're looking for good food and you don't mind a slight straying for the typical mexican restaurant, you're in good hands! This place is very small, so don't be expecting fountain sodas and kids menus (or any menus, for that matter) or anything like that. But they do deliver on friendliness and good food! They have great guac. Almost every dish I've ordered has been great. Sure, the ambiance is lacking, but I'm willing to sacrifice that for their great mexican fare. read more

A small Mexican restaurant in the middle of an old strip mall doesn't sound like a great idea, but you'd be wrong. Authentic Mexican food served quickly with a lot of flavor. The seating isn't elegant, and the place needs a good redesign so that it doesn't feel like they just moved in, but the tastes more than make up for it. read more

Went into this restaurant with high hopes because there are always promotions for this mexican place. When we arrived there wasn't anyone to greet us, just one lady behind the counter on her phone. There were two others in front of us and it looked like they were also waiting. She never even acknowledged us. It also was very dirty and smelled like rotton meat. I would advise everyone to pass on this and for groupon and other promo sites to remove them. read more

Husband saw restaurant & we finally gave it a try. Employees are very pleasant, just wish I can say the same about the food. Food was not fresh & seeing the microwave being used to make my food was disappointing! Over priced for microwaved food. This is not at all authentic & is very flavorless. read more

It's real. More like Mexico Mexican food than what we're used to here from the southwestern part of the country. Think torta over taco. So why does it only merit 3 stars? Because I have no spicy taste buds. Seriously, give me Hunt's over Heinz. That's a warning to my taste bud deficient brethren. But if you insist on going, I recommend the flautas. Now, on the other hand, stating it's spicy might be heaven for some of you. If you're a spicy, sabroso needing type of person, order anything. They even have lengue. Dine-in, watch some Univision and if you're feeling really adventurous, culinarily speaking, have that tongue. read more

I had by far the worst meal I have had recently at this restaurant. I had their grande chicken burrito. I got four bites into it and gave up. The chicken was stringy, unseasoned and strong tasting, the greens were stale, the unseasoned rice was cooked down to a paste and the black beans were a watery unseasoned slurry. It also took 45 minutes for them to get me my order while they served their mexican workmen regulars double and triple helpings. Even their chips and their bland watery salsa sucked. It wasn't cheap either it was $12. read more

Used a groupon for this restaurant. Drove by it twice before finally seeing the small sign saying Mexican Restaurant. No Chaska My Love. My husband had the steak enchilada dinner which he said was very good. I had the tacos which were a disappointment. Luckily I added some of my husbands lettuce and fried beans and the guacamole we ordered with chips. I finally realized that the green salsa was meant to go with the tacos but the waitress/cook had placed it in front of my husband instead. Also forgot to give me a fork. A family came in and the food came out at different times and they had to be reminded of the nachos they ordered. Sorry, but this is one groupon that did not work for us. Restaurant at 66th and Nicollet in Richfield gets my 5 stars. read more

I love this place. It is a little hole in the wall, and definitely not fancy, but the food is great and the owners/staff are wonderful. They even let me borrow the sombrero off their wall for my 40th birthday party, which I had them cater. Love their tacos. read more

I'm from New Mexico and one of the hardest things about coming to MN was finding that all mexican restaraunts here have horrible salsa - it's basically just tomato sauce. Chaska My Love has a very good jalapeno based salsa (this is not the salsa that they serve when you sit down, but what they serve with their tacos). I usually make my own, but when I'm not in the mood, I take a small mason jar there and ask them to fill it for me, which they do for a minimal charge. I use it on everything from omlettes, guacamole, refried beans with eggs and my staple breakfast (bean and cheese burrito). It's such a treat for me!!!! read more
