This is truly a gem of a neighborhood Mexican restaurant that serves the local population greatly. I think they have very juicy meat inside their tacos and they offer abundant onion and cilantro to ensure a balanced flavor. Along with lime and sauce, the tacos just taste amazing. Specifically, the quesa birria taco, even though not like other tacos, taste very flavor and juicy, and I could not get enough of it. Their platters have abundant food in them, including rice, beans, meat, and sometime vegetables (unless just lettuce), and the prices are very reasonable. I have also tried their menudo, which they served only on weekends, and as much as it wasn't for me due to me not used to the meat in there, I still had to acknowledge that it was made in very authentic ways and I knew many others would enjoy it. Overall, definitely recommended to those that live in the northern metro! Nothing else to say other than authentic and flavorful Mexican food involved.

We went here around 330PM on May 5th for a quick after work drink and taco outing. We arrived and…read moreit was empty-two people in the dinging room, 1 at the bar. The manager asked how many, it was just my friend and I but we said it'll be 6 total. She said we cannot sit until everyone is here since it will be getting busy-understandable. We asked if we could go to the bar and have a drink while waiting-she said no. She asked how long do you have to wait and we estimated 15-20 mins, her response was that "you can wait that time it won't kill you. You can sit here and wait". then walked away. We waited 10 mins then I went up and asked if we could order a drink and wait in that waiting area. she said no. So I let her know she lost out on a table of 6 who was prepared to order many drinks/tacos because of her lack of hospitality. We left, still a total of 3 in the entire restaurant. Really poor service, will never be back.

I have to admit that it was surprising to hear whistles at a Mexican restaurant in light of events. Unfortunately, we will probably not go back because the service was very very poor. We had to ask for multiple times before we got them, and it seemed like the staff just kept forgetting us. Prices are OK.

Perfect place to head over on a hot summer evening to have ice cream, popsicles, or even salty munchies. They have water based popsicles and cream based ones. They also have chocolate covered cream based popsicles or bananas. Super fun flavors such as Kiwi-Strawberry, Passionfruit, Watermelon, and Mango in the water based and flavors like Rum Raisin, Tres Leches,Tiramasu, and Caramel in the cream flavors. I had the Strawberry water based popsicle and it was delicious. Had a fresh strawberry flavor to it rather than artificial strawberry flavoring. Also had the Tres Leches ice cream and it actually had cookie pieces in it! Creamy and delicious as well. They had so many other fun ice cream things that I need to back for. Smoothies, half watermelon or pineapple filled with goodies, crepes, banana split and even Dubai chocolate strawberries! And for the salt munchies they have tacos, tacos in a bag, fries, elote and more! Spacious wide interiors, though not a lot of larger table seating. They had 2 patio tables outside as well. They have a wide sidewalk and plenty of parking to hang around while eating.

This is located in a strip mall with tons of free parking! Walking up there were a few tables that were outside, in the shade! Inside there are a few more tables but if you have a larger group, I'd say do a pick up order! The decor here is minimal but there were a couple tvs on. Service here was wonderful! The gentleman who took my order was nice and followed up with me while I ate. The food: the Quesabirria tacos were good. Best in the twin cities? No. I like a good meaty taco, but these had some fatty bits, just not my preference. The consume, was very tasty and I liked the lime wedge and onions/cilantro on the side so I could add as much or as little as I wanted. They had 3 spicy sauces and they all had a good flavor! The churros were a great sweet treat at the end! The horchata had a good flavor! Overall my experience here was good! This is definitely worth trying if you are in the area!

The salsa here was very garlicky which I don't mind, but others may. I got the lunch fajitas. The chicken was very rubbery and had a lot of very hard, inedible chunks. There weren't any spices on the chicken or fajita veggies which made it taste charred from sitting on the hot dish. Service 4/5: there only seemed to be one person working, so it took him awhile to get to us. The food came out relatively quick, but if you're in a rush this may not be the best lunch spot. Ambiance 3/5: we sat on the side that was more open and it was cold, it felt like we were sitting outside. We all kept our jackets on. Overall, this place could use some improvements. Another server for lunch, some seasoning, and a little more heat in the restaurant :)

At the time I arrived, he was cooking a fresh batch of steak. I also ordered chips and salsa. They are small portions so I got two. One for me and the other for my husband. I also got one fresh horchatas which was delicious, cold, and sweet. Skip Chipotle chain restaurant and try these guys out. You will not regret it.

Supermercado y Panadería Loma Bonita has quickly become one of my weekly go-to stops--part grocery…read morerun, part reward meal. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a diverse selection of dairy products, sodas, and snacks that you don't typically find all in one place. That variety directly stood out to me. Unlike many markets that focus on just one country, Loma Bonita offers a wide range of products from across Latin America, including El Salvador, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia, and more. One area for improvement is pricing clarity. In some sections, particularly dairy, labels can be difficult to match to specific items. That said, the staff at the checkout counter is willing to assist with price checks. As you move through the store, the selection just keeps getting better: fresh cuts of meat, frozen goods from around the world, and ready-to-eat hot meals. There's even a paletero (ice cream stand) tucked near the back by the produce section. The produce department stands out for its range, availability and affordability. It's great to find items like culantro, yellow (ripe) and green plantains, papaya, guava, mango, nance, yuca, and malanga, along with standard produce. Having all this fresh and reasonably priced is a big plus. What is the reward of visiting Loma Bonita? Their restaurant food! I almost always leave with a "Burrito de Asada" or "Huarache de Asada". Everything is made fresh to order, though they also offer convenient grab-and-go options like whole chicken and Mexican rice. On weekends, the menu expands with items like menudo and tacos dorados, making it more enticing to visit. There are multiple Loma Bonita locations in the Twin Cities, and while this one may be smaller, it's still packed with great finds. Pro tip: For homemade tacos, get their fresh, handmade corn tortillas. They're a game changer!
