***FOOD TRUCK REVIEW*** I got to finally check out Taco Taxi food truck while attending MSPIFF this year. The menu was pretty simple, tacos maybe 3-4 different options of meat. I got the chicken tinga tacos. 3 for $10. They were small but pretty average for authentic street tacos. Came with cilantro, onions and hot sauce. I didn't feel like they were very flavorful overall. I also got a can of sprite and not sure what was going on with their cooler but the can was kind of gross and tasted a bit off. They don't make the pop so I won't consider it my score but definitely need to wash the can before drinking & it wasn't cold. read more

Can never go wrong with authentic tacos. My go to are the Mexican taco with their green sauce with lime man it hits the spot gives the nice extra kick to your meal. My experience has always been good. Their service is good and know how to pack some tacos. It's a nice little small spot in town to kick back and enjoy one of the best taco spots in town. read more

This place has been around forever! I remember always begging my mom to pull over to go here when I was little and they exceeded my expectations when I finally got to try them. LOVE their steak tacos! Not many places have been able to compare in my opinion. Staff is very friendly and humorous. They seemed to love that I was taking photos. The location is a little weird if you've never been, easy to drive past if you aren't looking, but definitely my absolute favorite taco truck in Minneapolis. Happy to see them still thriving in business! read more

This is a review for the food truck on Lyndale. This was delicious! We ordered a pork street taco, a carne quesadilla and a cabeza burrito. The food was delicious! Each was a hearty portion, moist and flavorful. The street tacos are pretty small so I'd say for a full meal, you should order at least 4. read more

This is a review for the Taco Taxi food truck on the corner of Lagoon and Emerson: The tacos are the perfect snack or meal for cheap. Currently at $2.50 per street taco, you have the option of carne asada, pollo, al pastor or cabeza. They also have other traditional Mexican street foods such as burritos, quesadillas, and tortas. I opted for the carne asada and they were delicious. The corn tortillas were fresh, the beef was flavorful but not dry, and they gave me a lime on the side which really helped enhance the flavor. Keep in mind, they are street tacos which are smaller than you may be used to. For a meal, I'd recommend ordering 4-5 to be full. read more

Had carne Asada and Al pastor tacos, they were great, though a bit pricey - they're traditional street taco size (smaller) and a bit pricey to me at $3.50 each. read more

The food was good. I got a chicken quesadilla, rice, and beans. However, the inside of their restaurant was somewhat dirty and didn't feel welcoming to sit down and eat. I also don't believe there is any free parking. From what I could tell there was only paid Street parking available. read more

Had to be in Minneapolis for a week and it's safe to say I had to visit Taco Taxi a few times during my entire stay ... one of the only late night spots for legit tacos .... Whole in the wall place with some interesting people watching outside ... But what matters is what was going on inside ... the tacos were legit .. Hell the birria was amazing even on a hot 80 degree night... Full of flavor and excellent and good price. . If I ever have to VA back in the area... taco taxi will get another visit from me . read more

They always have amazing tacos! This place is always reliable and open late for amazing food that you'd pay for during the day as well as late at night. I'd recommend any of their tortas or tacos (except taco americano - I've never had it but you'd be missing out if you went out here and didn't pick any of their authentic options). Classic food truck with a cool style as a taxi and always great service! read more

Taco Taxi is one of many taquerias in the Phillips area of Minneapolis. To be honest, as a Chicago transplant I haven't been that impressed with most of the Mexican fast food here. Taco Taxi is one of the better ones, and I've never walked away disappointed. The tacos always hit the spot and are prepared authentically. Tortas here are on point -- not extraordinary, but never disappointing. And the burritos here are good lord the biggest in the area (do not order unless hungry). read more

A good part of Lake Street in south Minneapolis has really become a Little Mexico enclave with a lot of culture and great food in recent years. Taco Taxi is one of the many local, hole-in-the-wall spots for authentic street tacos, burritos and other tasty treats. No Tex-Mex stuff here. I'm not sure I can say it is better or worse than any of the other little places in the area but there are a couple of things that made it stand out in my mind during my lunch visit. First, it's bright yellow exterior and catchy name draw you in like moth to flame. Once in, I noted that it was not as crowded as some other places. That may be because it is a little more to the east and I think that the other places get more pedestrian traffic from the midtown market area workers. That makes this great for a quick in and out lunch without lines. Second, their prices are about $1 less than other shops for a decent burrito. I think that the portions here are a bit smaller too but I kind of like that since you can eat a delicious lunch for well under $10 here and not waddle out feeling like you just took down an entire side of beef. That often happens at some of the other places and I spend the afternoon in a post-lunch semi-coma which is kind of non-productive. Finally, their lengua was outstanding. Beefy, tender, really tasty and very much like pot roast wrapped in a tortilla with cilantro and onion. Salsa rojo on the side was plenty flavorful and had a nice heat to it. They threw in a freebie grilled jalapeño with my order when I asked for a Chile Toreado which was nice since other places have charged me up to another $1 for this added gut grenade. Definitely no complaints about the food although I can't really say that I prefer it over any other local shop but it sure is nice to have a lot of great options in this area. Minneapolis is really lucky to have a growing ethnic food scene and Taco Taxi is a very affordable part of that. Definitely recommend giving them a try! read more

Normally I go to the Taco Taxi Truck just a few blocks east of this store front, but once in a while it's just too darn cold to be outside. As far as I can tell, the tacos are the same...but inside they are a tad more expensive. Are we paying a surcharge for heat? Well ok, that makes sense. These tacos, tho. They are my favorite cheap tacos. Anytime I'm on East Lake Street, I stop by. They keep too, so if you're not hungry get some for lunch tomorrow. read more

Soooooooo many options for Mexican food options on Lake Steet! Taco Taxi is one of my top choices. As someone from California, this meets my standard of what makes a good taco. One great perk about this places, it is open til 2am. Parking is a tad challenging. When you walk in you get the tacos smell and it makes you want to salivate instantly. I appreciate that Taco Taxi's menus are made simple as it's just the cuts of meat they sell and how do you want your meat. I only get the tacos here they are 2.25 per taco, which is okay. On the tacos it is two tortillas, meat, onion, and cilantro. My favor cuts to get is the carne asada and lengua. The carne asada is flavorful and the lengua is favorful as well as soft. They offer two types of salsas and personally the green sauce is my choice. I also get the horchata too which is a nice touch to the tacos. I usually eat one as they are fresh then eat the rest at home. Something to note that they have a credit card minimum, so have cash on hand to make it is easy. I love taco taxi! I will be coming back to get my taco fix! read more

Let me start by saying in know way am I the street taco guru.But...... I KNOW A GOOD TACO WHEN I SEE ONE. Hands down the best 2 bites on Lake street. Yes I said 2 bites, very small tacos.

My favorite Mexican food in the Twin Cities! My aunt and brother have been on a taco tour of the twin cities trying all tacos they can and Taco Taxi remains the best rated by them! The chicken burrito is amazing. It's big enough to share if you're not starving. I'd also recommend the steak tacos! read more

Broken rickety tables Dirty Unwelcoming environment No chips No salsa bar Given 1 type of salsa (I guess this is all they had) Pastor - dry Asada- dry no flavor Pollo - dry - moderate flavor Rice - extremely dry- barely ate Frijoles - the best thing I had 1 Star extra given cuz the salsa was good... too bad there was no chips to make dip it in - by that would have meant I had even a dryer mouth from eating the food. I won't go back- still on the hunt ... read more

As much as I wanted to love this place ($1.75 for each taco!), I've had better tacos in the Twin Cities. 1. Staff: incredibly friendly! You order at the counter and they call your name when your food is ready. 2. Environment: small interior, few tables which can be cleaned better. No bathroom. 3. Food: I had the pastor tacos and my friend had their vegetarian burrito. Food was average. Flavors were lacking in the burrito. The pastor tacos tasted good but not great. Overall, the price is unbeatable but the food could be better. read more

Taco Taxi - Pastor tacos - Mexican Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Fairly priced, decent tacos, good service. Lengua is my favorite because it is soft, and comparable to my fav taco spots in Little village Chicago. Asada and cabeza were decent. I wouldn't recommend the al pastor - a little dry, lacking in flavor. The tortillas are packaged, not house made, and you can taste it. They crumble a little bit. read more

Really shitty customer service experience today called asked for plain tacos they said no and when we asked why they said no then hung up the phone. Amazing food usually depending on staff it's a hit or miss there sauce is the only thing good about the place in my opinion. Been a regular for about a year now communication on the phone has always been horrible they have a small area can't really eat in the store without being harassed by beggers. Overall decent food ,horrible service, small compacted space, no parking spaces either. Was a regular for about a year and a half now not worth the drive or the money to be treated like that. Do yourself favor and go to Los Ocampos it's right down the corner. Absolute recommend read more

Fine in a pinch and they're open late which is nice. Expensive for what you get though and for the same price there's better taco stands on Lake. read more

Amazing tacos at a very good price! Love to go here Just wish they were closer to me !

We flew in from WA one time, and found this gem super late at night! It was delicious!

The beans were tasty, they had a nice jalapeño kick. The rice was ok, a little overcooked and dry. Not all menus were updated so I ended up paying $5 for both instead of $2.50 like the menu I ordered from said; the cashier was slightly rude when I pointed that out. read more

Because it's Tuesday, it's only right that we had tacos for a late lunch. We have tried many tacos from the suburbs to the city and this is probably the best one we've had in minneapolis. I mean in comparison to California--- this is it. The Mexican burrito was stuffed with tons of meat ( if that's what you like) and for only $7.95! So if you're on lake street or Minneapolis and you're headed towards chipotle, reroute yourself, your belly and mouth will thank you it was such a huge burrito. Even after eating three tacos, I still managed to finish his burrito.. because it was that good. I'm never cheating on taco taxi ever! Unless I'm in Mexico or California read more

I am so happy that we came here on the taco crawl! I don't know that I would have ever stopped in otherwise. What a shame that would have been. The space is nothing fancy. It is a counter and a few Formica tables. The food is inexpensive and fantastic though! I went with Ashley F's recommendation for sopes con pollo (yes, I realize it was a "taco" crawl). So yummy! The sopes were nice and fresh. The chicken was tender and nicely seasoned. Lettuce, tomato, sour cream, onions and the tastiest salsa topped it off. Two of them were under $4. Deal of the day! I agree with Sarah P, I wish there was beer but I guess that can be fixed by utilizing the "taxi" part of the establishment. I just don't know how I could eat $15 worth! read more

I happened upon the Taco Taxi food truck while walking to midtown from the LRT. I grabbed a chicken and a pork taco, and really enjoyed both. The sauce that comes with the tacos is well worth a big splash, it's got a lot of great flavour and a hint of heat. Liked that the soft taco shells were just a touch crispy too. It was a fantastic first bite of Minneapolis. read more

Best tacos in Minneapolis. Get the lengua. Even if you've never had lengua, just trust me. Perfect.

I've been reading about how good Taco Taxi is, and I finally got to experience it. My problem when I was there is that I personally haven't spent too much time around Spanish and true Mexican food, so I was slightly confused as what to eat. I played it safe and just ordered tacos. Next time, I won't be so caught off guard and read more reviews for research so I can order more stuff. Anywho, the place has no ambience but I've never cared that much for ambience. I'm all about the food. The mexican-style tacos I got were delish! The ingredients were super fresh and tasted oh-so-good in my mouth. Not to mention I only spent a few dollars. I don't think I can ever be satisfied eating American-style tacos again. Cheap but good food is always going to top my list! read more

Late night taco cravings are so real...and on this particular Saturday night at 1am, they sounded like the perfect fix. East Lake Street is full of taco places, so I wanted to see if there would be anything about Taco Taxi that would stand out. I got two tacos: the asada and al pastor. We got them to go, and to be honest, there wasn't a lot to rave about. I've had much better authentic tacos at other places. I liked the asada taco, but the al pastor taco fell short for me. The sauce didn't have much of a spicy kick to it like I expected it would, but it helped the dryness of the tacos. With that being said, it wasn't bad but don't expect that your experience here will blow all others out of the water. At $1.95 per taco, the prices are very reasonable, but that goes for most taco places. If you want to try Taco Taxi, there's plenty of other options on the menu as well, so I'd say to give it a shot! There's street parking right outside of Taco Taxi and the staff members are such nice people! read more

On a mission to find the best and most authentic tacos on lake street. Started here with Taco Taxi in the Kmart parking lot. No frills authentic Mexican street tacos on a taco truck. $1.75/taco. You have 4 choices--cabeza, carne asada, chicken, or pork. I chose the cabeza & asada. Plenty of meat in the little street food style corn tortilla but both were a bit dry. Came with cilantro, onion, & lemon slices (typically it's lime). read more

Pretty good tacos for the price. Would like to go back a try more. Worth waiting in the cold.

I quite liked Taco Taxi. The bright interior is festive and fun. I had two carne asada tacos and they were tasty. Fresh cilantro and salsa gave it a kick. The beans were good, but I've had better rice. I compare everything to my grandma's so nothing's ever quite as good. The staff were friendly enough and the food came out plenty quick. I'm looking forward to trying the other restaurants along Lake Street. read more

Y'all don't even sell tacos on DoorDash or any other app I ordered and you stole my money and said, "there's nothing I can do for you too bad!" Rude as all hell and there is much better tacos all over, like the west side of my city, Saint Paul! Learn manners and how to run a taco business. read more

Love this place and great price. I have only been to the food truck but it's fire. I would recommend.

I'd heard this place had great tacos and I am obsessed with authentic tacos so I had to stop by. It's definitely no-frills and has a limited but solid menu, although they don't have guacamole if that's what you're craving. Their tacos are delicious and high quality at a good price. The only thing I would have wanted was a selection of salsas as the tacos came with only one salsa that had a smoky flavor. read more

This tiny place is so great. Ran in for a super quick dinner 10 minutes before a show at the HOTB across the street (genius, right) and got the pork pastor quesadilla and tacos. Food was out in 3-4 minutes--hot, fresh, and with generous sides! Scarfed it down and made it to the show on time, with leftovers in a fancy compostable box. The only thing I felt bad about was when we handed them the used plates over the counter like a bunch of idiots. Turns out the bus tray was just around the corner, d'oh! read more
