Our server was juggling our entire section while also tending bar, and the service never missed a beat. We both ordered burritos and they were the standout of the night--perfectly hot, well-seasoned, and packed with flavorful meat that stayed tender and juicy, not dry at all. Portions were generous and everything tasted fresh. Once the full menu is back, we'll definitely be returning to explore more of what they have to offer.

I'm convinced that a bad day can be cured with a margarita and chips. I tried Mi Pueblo when I was…read morelooking for a margarita after a long day. Mi Pueblo provided that and more! We were seated right away and promptly given chips and salsa while we looked over the menu. After ordering, the food came out in less than 15 minutes. Their kitchen was so fast! I had the arroz con pollo and my spouse had the chimichangas. Both dishes were covered in cheese sauce. The meats in each dish were juicy and full of flavor. The margaritas are offered blended or on the rocks. I had a blended one. I'd order on the rocks next time since the blended version was very filling. The service was quick and attentive. Thanks for a great dinner Mi Pueblo!

I have eaten here a handful of times and the food is consistently good and the service is…read moreconsistently excellent. I like that they serve a lot of traditional Mexican food, yet familiar to what we see here in the US/MN. I really like their tacos on their homemade tortillas. They are soft and flavorful with just enough of a bite of the corn masa. Their plates are generous or you can get tacos à la cart style if you don't have a big appetite. Their queso and chorizo queso are soft good and I also like their salsas. They have both tables and a bar to sit at with a few TVs to keep up with the soccer games. At the end of the meal I enjoy walking around the attached grocery (Bodega) and perhaps grabbing a sweet treat from the bakery.

My boyfriend and I decided to give this place a try one night after work…read more This restaurant is connected to Bodega 42, which is a Hispanic grocery store! They have so many different, foods, drinks, pastries, deli items, it's definitely worth exploring before or after dinner! There is free parking but the lot is not very big. You may need to park in the street (also free). Upon walking in, we were greeted by several employees! We opted to sit out on the patio, since it was a gorgeous night! After 10 minutes no one had come to the table... 15 minutes... still no one. No water, drinks or their complimentary chips. They weren't overly busy, so this didn't make sense to us. At minute 20 I got up to talk to a manger. The waitress saw me go up to the front and tried to wave me down to say "I got you." I'm sorry but 20 minutes in a restaurant that isn't packed is ridiculous. At the very least she could have brought water and said she would be with us soon, but she never acknowledged we were there. I spoke with the manager and noted that it had been 20 minutes with no one coming to our table. I told him i understood she had other tables but that we just hadn't even been acknowledged. He said "she doesn't have that many tables! Let's go!" He took our order on the spot! He brought us complimentary guacamole and horchata with our chips! That was a very nice gesture! I assured him we weren't out for freebies, we just wanted to order our food. He was very friendly and definitely took care of us! Our food came out very quickly and we were checked on multiple times. He definitely turned what was a very negative experience around! The vibes here are really great! The patio was so nice! It was well maintained and clean! The food: I got the pulpo (octopus) tacos! They had a tropical and buttery flavor to them! I opted to take the picked onion off mine but I'm sure that's tasty as well! The chips had a nice crisp and saltiness to them and the salad was one of the best complimentary ones we have tried! My boyfriend had the chicken fajitas and noted they were tasty with a solid portion. The horchata here is also pretty solid! Overall, this place is worth the try! Tip: don't get the dessert at the restaurant, grab it to go from the bodega! It's about $4-$5 cheaper!

We went back today because we were craving this place, and it felt like the perfect Sunday…read moreafternoon lunch. I'm really happy to say that things have improved since my last visit and review. That said, it's still not quite a perfect 5 out of 5 for me. First, they seem to have ditched the service fee. My understanding is that service fees are no longer allowed in Minnesota, so I was expecting them to replace it with a credit card fee. I'm happy to say there was no service fee, no credit card fee, or anything else. The price of the food is the price you pay, plus tax and tip. That is so refreshing to see in 2026 and automatically earns this restaurant an extra star from me. The food is still the best part of this restaurant. I'm sure they're sourcing ingredients from the same places as everyone else, but somehow their flavors are extraordinary. This time I got the Pollo Sonora, and I honestly don't have any complaints. It was absolutely delicious. Highly recommended. They still offer free chips and salsa, which I love because not every Mexican restaurant does that anymore (Chula's in Prior Lake, I'm looking at you). It's nice to see they still include them. This time around, though, I didn't enjoy the white sauce as much. I'm not sure if it changed or if my tastes have changed. The red salsa was fantastic, but I really wish it had been colder. It was more warm or lukewarm, which just wasn't what I was expecting or wanting. My wife got one of the weekend lunch specials for $10.99: a beef enchilada and a beef burrito. She had no complaints. I was honestly impressed that they still offer lunch specials on weekends. We also ordered the large queso appetizer for $10.99. I intentionally ordered the large because I assumed we'd have leftovers to take home. However, the "large" is really more of a medium-sized portion. I'm 6 feet tall, had just finished a workout, and hadn't eaten much that day. My wife was also very hungry. We ended up eating almost the entire thing. For $10.99, I was expecting a noticeably larger portion, so that was a little disappointing. I don't even want to know how many calories we ate just from the queso....but I still think the large should be larger for $10.99. The service also improved compared to my last visit, but I still don't think it's on the same level as many other restaurants. In my previous review, I mentioned that service was the biggest issue, and if you read other reviews, you'll notice it's a recurring theme. This time our waiter did ask if we needed drink refills, which was an improvement. However, service still felt a little slow, and at times it seemed like he was trying to avoid extra trips or additional questions. For example, when he took our drink order, he immediately started walking away. We had to quickly stop him because we also wanted to order an appetizer. At that point we were ready to order our entrées too, but since he didn't ask, we only ordered the appetizer. Later he came back and asked if we were ready to order our entrées. By then we'd eaten almost all of our chips, and he could clearly see the basket was nearly empty. Instead of asking if we'd like another basket, I had to ask for more chips. That's not a huge deal, but it's just not what I'm used to. At most Mexican restaurants, if the server notices your chips are gone, they'll usually offer another basket without being asked. I realize that's a bit nitpicky, but I mention it because it's been a recurring pattern during past visits. The bathrooms were mostly clean, the sinks are pretty cool, and the men's restroom has a baby changing station. The prices aren't amazing, but they're not terrible either. If you're looking for the cheapest Mexican food around, this probably isn't the place. But if you're looking for fantastic flavors and a nice atmosphere, it's absolutely worth trying. I would still recommend this restaurant to friends and family, and I know my wife and I will be back. We're just not rushing to return. They're so close to being a truly perfect restaurant.

Went to El Azteca on Mother's Day 2026. There was eight of us, it was after church/late lunch, so…read morewe kind of expected to wait. Roughly 40 minutes later we were seated. They give you appetizers of chips, red salsa, and some kind of mayonnaise based dip. Beware because it'll get you gluttonous very quickly. All in all - it's what you expected for a Mexican restaurant. The food was quick, hot, and the service was kind and prompt enough to a bunch of gringos. A nitpick - the women's bathroom had 1 of 2 stalls out and seemed to need attention, hope they get that fixed. My only complaint was for two fajita platters, a nacho supreme, one tea, and one Sprite, and one bowl of guacamole and queso came to $120 after tax. Seems steep to me? (Hence four stars) At least the food didn't suck, which would I have made it sting. Try them out!
