    The door under the permanent sign is the kitchen - go through the glass doors
    Bob S.

    Best Mexican place I have tried in the western suburbs. After reading prior reviews, we made the short trip to Long Lake to try Talavera. It is on the east side of the building behind Marathon Gas Station. The kitchen and the dining room are separate - go through the glass doors not the single door under the permanent sign or you'll end up in the kitchen. We ordered enchiladas and tacos and everything was spot on. Excellent salsas, quick friendly service, and a bright, clean, dining room. We've only been once but I think I am for sure a regular now.

    Lunch chicken  fajitas

    This is a bit off my beaten path but I was out this way with friends and we stopped by for lunch with about 5 adults and 10 kids. The owner was very accommodating and set us up with two long tables. We were pleasantly surprised that on Mondays kids eat free with the purchase of an adult meal! I got the lunch fajitas and I really enjoyed them, it was a perfect serving size! My kids liked the tacos and although the menu doesn't have chicken nuggets and fries they do offer that if you ask (in case you have picky kids). Really nice homey vibes!

    Very enjoyable new Mexican restaurant in Long Lake. It's sort of an odd layout in a strip mall business building next to the gas station, but it's very nice. The dining room is on one side of the entry hall, the kitchen on the other. It's very nicely decorated with authentic decor. Service is friendly and attentive. The menu includes all of your favorites with some good combinations and some seafood options. They offer a nice selection of drinks and beverages, and make a mean margarita. Portions are huge so don't be afraid to split a meal or take half of whatever you order home for later. It was a little adventure to find, but once we figured it out, everything was excellent!

    Mexican is my go to favorite since I was a kid in Los Angeles and living in the twin cities means No Good Mexican food ! Well that has changed for sure lets start with a full menu of REAL MEXICAN dishes not just tacos burritos and fajitas .. We started with chips and salsa we upgraded guacamole they bring you a gigantic bowel in a lava rock bowl and it was fantastic I had the chori pollio "the best I have ever had the chorizo was really great and the beans were totally authentic with homemade tortillas and they brought more nice touch my wife had the taco salad big fresh and tasty the service was fast and very accurate the place is in a strip mall we call Texas style seems everything is in a strip mall in Dallas lol nice bar as well you cannot go wrong here its so good I cannot wait to go back for more

    Front Chicken Fajitas, back Beef Nachos.

    Always looking for new restaurants in the area, and I believe this has been open for a year but we just noticed. Outstanding authentic Mexican cuisine , and very friendly staff. Nice , clean atmosphere. Should have been easier to locate in Long Lake, but of course it's hidden on the side of a gas station/office complex. Had outstanding "Chicken Fajitas" and "Beef Nachos". Will definitely visit again. Comes with Chips and Salsa.

    Had heard some good feedback about this newer place and stopped in for lunch. Had a Negra Modelo beer which they have on draft. It was ice cold and delicious. The service was efficient, warm and very friendly. The food was delicious. I enjoyed the Enchiladas Supreme. Looking forward to another visit to try other things. Easy parking.

    Rice and beans

    This is the definition of a hidden gem. I've lived in MN for nearly 15 years and FINALLY found good mexican food!! The staff are incredibly kind and attentive. Everything comes out hot and fresh. Horchata and steak tacos from here cannot be topped! The only downside is how rural this place is but I will still continue to drive 30 min for this place!!!

    Tacos Al Pastor!!!

    It is an average suburban Mexican restaurant. Perfect for people who value quantity over quality. Meh.

    We stopped in tonight -- our neighborhood spot and a place we're proud to call our regular hangout…read more Jessica L. was absolutely amazing. She's friendly, attentive, and always makes us feel welcome. Even on a busy night, she stays upbeat and on top of everything. She checked in at all the right times, kept things running smoothly at our table, and genuinely made our night better. She's a big reason we keep coming back. The only small note -- and this is coming from a fellow bartender -- was that one cocktail(tequila soda) took abnormally long to come out from the bar. We totally understand that things happen, and it didn't ruin our experience at all, but it did stand out a bit. Overall though, Jessica's service was outstanding and truly the highlight of the night. We love our neighborhood bar and will definitely be back!

    The atmosphere at Surfside Bar & Grill was fine, but my breakfast experience fell short and felt…read morepoorly handled. I ordered the Eggs Benedict, and the eggs were overcooked, which unfortunately ruined the dish. When I mentioned it, the server agreed that it wasn't good, but the response came across as somewhat flippant rather than solution‑oriented. While I appreciate honesty, a more engaged approach--such as quality‑checking the dish before it left the kitchen or offering a quick replacement when the issue was identified early--would have gone a long way. Instead, the interaction made the situation feel awkward and left me uninterested in ordering anything else. Once a dish like Eggs Benedict is off, and the follow‑up feels dismissive, it tends to derail the entire experience. I'm sharing this as constructive feedback, as the restaurant seems to have potential, but stronger attention to quality control and guest recovery would greatly improve the overall experience.
