    Chilaquiles with steak
    Robb Yelp M.

    We were at the restaurant on a Saturday, and from what I've heard the weekend menu is different than the weekday menu so keep that in mind. I ordered the Chilaquiles with steak and it was amazing! It felt like two separate meals that paired perfectly together.

    It's a restaurant in a strip mall that could use a little interior updating but it was clean, service was friendly and quick and the food was tasty. We had the Birria tacos and Tres Amigo enchiladas with carnitas and both were really good. Meat was seasoned really well and a lot of it in both entrees. The consommé had an interesting flavor. I liked it, just different than what I'm used to. Rice and beans were your standard but they were nice and hot. We'll definitely be back.

    This casual restaurant in a strip mall brings a little bit of Mexico to Richfield. The layout is pretty open, which allows diners to see across the entire restaurant, which includes a bar, a corner for performances, and an elevated waiting area. Both times I've gone, there have been several Mexican families and groups eating there, which is always a good sign. The menu is pretty standard for Mexican in Minnesota - tacos, burritos, enchiladas, chilaquiles, and tortas along with more traditional dishes like molcajetes. They also have fusion options like asada fries and Tex Mex tacos (served Taco Bell-style with lettuce, cheese and pico de gallo instead of the traditional onions and cilantro.) I ordered an elote, an al pastor taco and a lengua taco. Both meats were seasoned well and very tender. The al pastor wasn't as sweet as I've had at other restaurants, but was still very tasty. The elote had good flavor, though it could have used more chili powder and I personally prefer roasted corn to boiled. The most disappointing part of the meal was the chips and salsa - both salsas were pretty bland and watery and one had an offputting sourness. Yes, they were free, but better salsas would also have been great for the tacos. The restaurant can accommodate small and large groups, though service at times can be a little slow and mixed up - another table's food was brought to ours soon after we sat down. And we had to flag down someone to refill water and get help with the check. Overall, a pleasant and reasonably priced place for a filling meal. Not a lot of frills, but you don't pay for them either. Tips: the bills have a QR code printed on them, and they ask diners to pay online that way. But, if you have problems doing that, they can bring a credit card machine to your table. And, lively Mexican music is played throughout the restaurant, so not the place for a quiet conversation.

    We had great food and service on a Thursday night. They have a bar and very large dining room. We were seated immediately. They bring you complimentary chips, red salsa, and an orange sauce. The orange sauce was tasty, but I have no idea what it was! The fajitas were tasty and served with sides. The a la carte tacos were amazing. The carnitas were well seasoned and so moist. The carne asada was very flavorful too. I would definitely return. Plenty of parking in the attached lot. There is no outdoor seating. There were TVs playing soccer.

    This is one of our favorite neighborhood Tex-Mex places to grab some Mexican food. They have a pretty awesome mocaljete but you better bring a large group because it feeds 6-8 people otherwise you could take it as leftovers I guess but wouldn't recommend it. It's better at the restaurant. They have pretty good portion sizes and prices are reasonable. They have complimentary chips and salsa and queso to start of and to settle in. They have 2 for 1 house margaritas everyday! My husband really likes their margaritas! It's one of his favorite places. My oldest daughter and I shared the steak fajitas and if you want extra tortillas then there's an extra charge of $2.50 for 4. The steaks was not in strips like other places that offer Mexican food. But it was still good. The staff was attentive and friendly. They were very helpful and very serious about COVID protocols when my youngest daughter choked on a piece of ice and spit up. The staff acted quickly to get the table cleaned up and sanitized.

    Mr Jose welcomed us in with a suave smile and great welcome. The vibe of the restaurant is Mexican realness with his dashing accent to enhance the atmosphere. He brought waters to the table some chips with a tomato salsa and a chipotle ranch? For the entrees I ordered the birria tacos and my party had shrimp tacos and a Mexican Torta. The shrimp tacos & Torta were amazing and the birria tacos were so satisfying with that consommé.

    $2.50 tacos a piece. So good!!

The ambiance is very modern, with smooth tables and an enormous, vaulted ceiling. Service was quick and efficient, with a cash register/ordering station, and a separate pick-up station to the left. Took about ten minutes to prep my burritos. I ate one of them at home, saving a breakfast burrito for later in the week. Delicious carnitas burrito, good salsa. There is parking in back, and some on the side street without paying. The menu appears unique, a mix of traditional and fusion. Prices are in the $15 range for an entree. Food delivered warm, in aluminum wrap. Generous portion, quite satisfying. Note: Please participate in my proposed National Hispanic Small Business Week, starting Monday, Feb 2, to Monday, Feb 9. Make a point of buying goods and services from local Hispanic businesses. Help defeat the plans of those that want all Hispanics purged from the United States. Thank you. I tip my top hat.

    Our neighbors recommended us this spot, so my partner and I came here one night for dinner on a…read morerandom occasion, and unfortunately ended up having a relatively subpar dining experience. To begin with, our table and the menus given to us were very dirty and had lots of visible food tidbits, which made us have to clean things up a bit ourselves. That was okay, though, because I have experienced worse and wouldn't choose to let it impact my judgment to such an extent. I thought the only item that was solid was my lengua torta, which had a good amount of stuff inside ranging from meat to lettuce to mayo, and made me full in a very satisfactory way. A lot of the tacos were dry and reliant on the lime for a little bit of juice, including the birria tacos. My partner ordered the chicken, shrimp, and fish tacos, and thought they all tasted mediocre. Personally I enjoyed having some radishes because they cleansed my palate when needed. Another unfortunate event was that later that night, I experienced a severe stomachache and had to throw up. Granted, I have not tried their birria with consomé yet, which per my understanding was what made them famous since the beginning of time, at least according to a piece of newspaper I had seen next to the bathroom. Next time when I visit, I will try such instead, which I hope can provide me with an improved experience.

    The best part of this place was the space. There was a lot of parking and the seating area was a…read morenice spacious area. It felt like it could be a wedding or event venue. Let's start with service, the server was nice enough, but very rarely came by to refill drinks. The others were taken quickly, but the food all came out at wildly different times. I received my food probably 20-25 minutes before the last person received theirs. The wave was maybe 2 people's food at a time. The whole free dip with 5 Birria tacos was confusing as no one really knew which tacos qualified. As for the food, the horchata was okay. It wasn't super flavorful and seemed poorly mixed. I had to take the top off to try and mix it better, but the straw didn't work well. The goat Birria was very bland to me. I added all the hot sauce, but still couldn't even really taste it. I ended up mainly just dipping the tortillas in the green sauce, which wasn't bad. Perhaps I came on an off day. I'm not sure I would go back though.

In terms of taste, the birria ramen was very salty, to the point that I had to water it down a bit to finish it. I appreciated the idea of having this option but I seriously think more meat and more noodles are needed for the consomé to not have an overpowering taste. The tacos tasted good as usual and had a good amount of ingredients which I loved. Previously I came here to get lengua tacos and they had very little dry lengua meat. The torta was also good in the most conventional way, which grilled chicken, mayo, and more. Back in the days I used to order a tray of tacos, 25 of them, for about $75 which I believe is still the case for the same price. I know that people in general will appreciate this establishment for its affordability on comfort food that will feed lots.

Was very surprised with the Arabe Taco... had the asada and it was great, especially for the value!! Beats anything Taco Bell can come up with plus fresh ingredients. As far as the burrito... it's just as packed and heavy as a Chipotle burrito but with REAL MEXICAN flavors... the Al Pastor is the crowd favorite and I can see why... not very traditional but very tasty!
