Probably not, but if I happened to be in the area, I would definitely make my way there, even for take out. The exterior is a dated orange building sitting on the side of Lyndale Ave amongst unkept tall grass, a little dilapidated but don't let that turn you away. Once inside you're greeted by familiar faces of the family that keeps the operation going, the smell of freshly cook tortilla chips and more orange walls reminiscent of a Hacienda, decorated with traditional art and pottery. Once sat, complimentary chips and salsa are bought to the table. Pro-tip: ask for seconds. The salsa is made in house, a liquid salsa consistency married together with chunks of onions, cilantro and tomatoes creating this robust umami flavor of goodness! I have drank the salsa before, it's okay. On to the rest of the food, I highly recommend the Molcajete and Burrito de Asada. The Molcajete is for someone who can't decide on their protein (so why not, have it all?); it is a mix of chicken, beef, pork and shrimp comes out sizzling hot in a Molcajete served with rice, beans, guacamole, sour cream and tortilla. It's essentially a DIY burrito/taco/wrap- what could go wrong? Burrito de Asada is also served with rice, lettuce, salsa and sour cream; pro-trip: ask to "spice it up" for an extra kick or on the side if unsure about spicy levels. The Faribault location is the better location so I've heard from those in the area. Highly recommend if you're in the area. Photo cr. to parents- I'm always busy eating chips and salsa.

The gentleman charged us 5$ for extra cheese sauce and then argued for 5 minutes that we asked for the extra (sauce was gross and didn't touch it by the way). So three kids, they had tacos, I had a quesadilla app, 5 sodas, no booze, and the bill was 100 bucks. Avoid this joint like the plague.

The quality of the food was a plesent surprise, and made it stand out amongst the crowded field of Mexican restaurants in the Mankato area.

I was blown away by the ground beef in the chimichanga, it was filled with spices that mad me want to ask fro the recipe. Service was good, and drinks were kept full. The overall appearance did not stand out, but the booth was clean and comfortable. 100% will go back.

While we've only ever gotten to-go, I like that they have a quick service counter, as well as the option to dine-in. We might have to try sitting down sometime. Never really gotten anything I don't like. I have to say that their Birria eggrolls are absolutely amazing. I would say they are a must order. I also love the loaded burrito with fries. We will probably add this restaurant into our rotation and try to come here more frequently. The only downside is that when you look at their prices compared to other Mexican restaurants, they are a bit expensive. Also, while they recently updated their website and online ordering system. Sometimes the online ordering is still a bit confusing in my opinion.
