Lunch tacos
Christina K.

The lunch special is very fresh. Many meat options to choose from. The barbacoca was tender and well seasoned. The chips and salsa were also tasty. They have a large parking lot

a margarita
Kamrin D.

Your typical Mexican fair. A little divey, but service was great and food was hot and fresh. Portions were large, but sadly no chips and salsa to start. I appreciate the amount of vegetarian options. There were some unique drink options and some fun twists on the Margarita. I got a grapefruit Margarita and I enjoyed it. Overall a good local place for Mexican food.

Menudo with handmade tortillas; the perfect Sunday brunch.
Neng Y.

I had the most mild mannered menudo with tortillas. It had just enough spices and herbs to cure a hangover, except I did not have one this time. Still, very good. The portions seemed a bit small at first for a hungry guy, but it was just enough. Chicken wings are ok and chicken tamales are good too. If you find yourself in the mode for mendu; get your fix here!

a tortilla with lettuce and radishes
Debbie M.

We have eaten at Los Ocampo many times. Today we placed a takeout order. A cheese Quesadilla. An order we have made many times. Always came as a classic Quesadilla would two flour tortillas filled and cut into fourths. Today we came home and opened up to a single flour tortilla folded over like a soft taco filled with some cheese and an over abundance of lettuce and radishes. Not at all what we have received when ordering the same thing in the past. It is Cinco De Mayo so they are incredibly busy so I assumed I was given the wrong order. I wasn't going to go all the way back but called to tell them of the mix up. I was then told that yes that is what constitutes a Quesadilla at their restaurant and there was nothing she could do. I explained that I had ordered Quesadillas from them many times and they always came looking like a standard Quesadilla. She said no- that is not what a Quesadilla is at their restaurant. I explained once again that this was not my first time ordering this dish from them but she was insistent. I thanked her for her time and hung up. Confused. It's not as much about the waste of money as it is wondering how I can order a favorite dish from them again and trust that what I am getting is what I want.

Very good Mexican food. Nice portion for the price you pay. Very spacious restaurant.

Flautas are no good. As this picture shows, not good and mushy

My cousin and I stopped here for dinner on a Friday Evening. We ordered 2 margaritas, waters and queso w with chips right away. The margaritas came much later then expected, very strong...I mean very very strong. I ordered Sope with carnitas and rice, which is an extra charge. My cousin ordered flautas with chicken. We waited quite a long time, we ordered another queso and that came out prior to our meals. Once the meals came out, we both were dissapointed. The pork was burnt on my Sope and my cousins flautas we're dry chicken, soggy tortilla and not edible. The lack of a waiter/waitress is the main reason for such a low rating. Never established who the waiter was or which person that was. We are still waiting for the check, been 20 minutes since taking our plates. Dine and dash???? Not my style, but losing stars as we wait. I'm still waiting. Not one person had stopped by. Losing my patience....

Churros with Ice Cream!
Alan M.

Came here with my girlfriend this march, the food was great! Got a Ocampos Burrito, Quesadilla and Churros with Ice Cream. Prices are terribly high, considering there aren't to many mexican restaurant in the Saint Paul area, they're reasonable. Would definitely come here again! It was my gfs first time trying mexican food and she loved it.

This is the 2nd time they have closed after calling to confirm if they're open. We are in Minnesota, we all brave the weather. Stay open.

If you haven't been here, what are you even doing?!…read more My favorite spot for Mexican food is @elburritomercado in St. Paul. You may also recognize their logo at the MN State Fair and their food truck at various events. Overall if you've never been to their actual restaurant and market... you gotta. They have a full market and goods side to find all of your needs to take home and cook. As well as prepared items to bring home, heat and serve. I highly suggest this for taco night at home. Everything is fresh, delicious and made there in house. They have a walk up order area with casual seating, a full sit down restaurant area and an awesome patio. In the warmer months they have their Elotes truck out near the back entrance. The customer service is friendly, welcoming and very helpful if you have questions or need recommendations. I recently was shopping the grab and go deli and was trying to decide what meat to go with and two separate regular shoppers pointed me to some awesome picks so shout out to helpful strangers. I'll pass it along if I see someone staring at the wall of options someday. The staff working the deli window was also extremely helpful in picking out a good salsa heat level and gave a few samples to ensure my decision. Remember always ask for recommendations if you're not sure! My go to items to eat in: Nachos Supremo with chicken (when I want nachos THIS is the dish I want) Burrito Tradicional Churros My favorite grab and go items: El Burrito Mercado Tortilla Chips-these are the best Queso Fundido Nacho Mexican Rice w/veggies Mild Chicken Shredded Beef Ground Beef Guacamole Crema Mexicana Mexican Shredded Melting Cheese Obviously fresh soft tortilla shells are a must here too This place is one I love to point people towards because it's an awesome experience with great food and great people.

Tacos Tuesday is all you need to know. Favorite tacos are Al Pastor and Barbacoa…read more Grab some empanadas on the way out. If you don't come here on Tuesday then expect around $15 for lunch without a beverage.

My wife said I looked like was about to cry when a inch cup of carnitas fell out of my taco and bounced down to the floor. It's the only time I've ever considered grabbing food off the floor it was that delicious(I didn't grab it). Our recent visit my wife got the carnitas tacos, I got the torta and an order of the Rajas and for drinks were ordered the pineapple express margarita and the habanero cilantro margarita. We had 2 other couples with us and we all agreed everything was spectacular. Pictures are from our first visit. Our server was excellent, fast and fun and very knowledgeable about the menu.We are looking forward to our next visit.

Always heard good things about this place. Finally made it there. The runouts are true! This place…read moreis good in so many ways. Tony. Our server is so amazing he even brought us perfect to go boxes for all the yummy leftover 2 items that are just outstanding and worth ordering every single time Sikil P'ak. I've never heard of it before. But it's the best hummus based dip with some pumpkin seeds and some magic in it. It is just out of this world Fideo soup. One of My biggest pet peeves is when the soup gets to the table cold (and it's not gazpacho) this soup came piping hot. And with fideo not overcooked. More magic here... Will come back and try the Happy Hour M-F 4-6pm
