My husband and I had no dinner plans last Friday night and I was craving some Mexican fare. I was pleased to see the beer list included some options beyond Modelo and Corona such as Summit and Angry Orchard cider. We started with an order of guacamole to go along with the chips. The portion size was reasonable for $3.50 (remember it's $2 for guac on your burrito at Chipotle) and would have been plenty for 4 people but we managed to pack it away between the two of us. I ordered the Tres Marias enchiladas with steak and my husband had the beef chimmy changa. Both met our expectations - nothing too fancy but tastey. Service was attentive and friendly. Pricing was reasonable for what you got. We will definitely be back the next time we're in the mood for Mexican food. read more

Cheesy, calorie filled lunch blessed art thou among those who don't give a fuck about their waist lines. Amen. Stopped into Teresa's the other day for lunch with my beloved neckbeard for some much needed calories and fruity booze libations. The hostess was pleasant enough, she offered us a booth - win. We sat down and our server ran right over and asked us for our drink orders...the beer lover was cut off guard, I was ready...ID in hand, pina colada, please. This is not a drill, folks. He brought the beer snob a water while he lamented their horrid beer list, finally he settled on a Corona because when in Rome, drink shitty beer. That's the saying, right? We started with a large order of guacamole...and when they say large, they aren't messing around. There was so much guac in this bowl we could have fed a village of starving children with it. But we didn't, because we're selfish. 'Murica. I had the veggie combo E: 1 bean burrito with nacho sauce, 1 cheese enchilada, and 1 cheese quesadilla. The quesadilla tasted like the best golden fried, overly fattening, overly cheesy grilled cheese sandwich ever. My favorite on the plate. The bean burrito was a close second, not perfect or a culinary masterpiece in any way...but it hit me right in the inner fat kid. Which is the only thing that matters to me when I'm first world hungry. The enchilada was meh. Brandon had the carne asada with rice and beans...didn't try it - probably would have gotten stabbed by a fork if I had tried. But he had a happy plate when he was done, so it must have passed the test. The guacamole was good, not great...but a decent representation of one of my favorite appetizers. We really enjoyed the chips and the complimentary salsa is good - no spice, but I've come to expect that in Minnesota. My pina colada gave me a rum headache, so they definitely do not skimp on their pours. The beer snob tossed back 3 Coronas, because let's be honest...it's like piss colored water in a bottle. We really liked our server - he was friendly, prompt, and there was never a dry glass (or bottle) on our table. 3 1/2 stars for this suburban joint. I'd definitely come back for their lunch prices and that cheese quesadilla. read more

Will never return- service was very slow and I found a piece of plastic in my food. They took it to the back and then told me it was a piece of onion. I asked that they bring it back to show me and they wouldn't. To top it off, they didn't take it off the bill nor offer a remake. read more

Their are so many pros and cons about Teresa's. Pros- Amazing happy hour specials, $3.50 margaritas is a good day for me. $3 for 24oz beer and all the chips and salsa you can eat. The food has never disappointed me. Con- SERVICE is a slow disaster. Even when just sitting in the bar for a 3pm happy hour, we have to beg to be serviced. The service has never been good no matter what the building has been named. I am not sure if it is a servicers curse or what the problem. Horribly, slow service can not be made up through pricing and flavor. I continue to go there for their HH specials however with it being summer we pick a patio instead of Teresa's. read more

Came to eat when the restaurant was empty although was sat promptly it took the server longer than usual to get to our table to take our drink order, as well as our food order. Food was very slow to the table. Tortillas were never delivered. We wanted to order dessert but by the time our server came to ask if there was anything else were so frustrated. FINALLY we we able to pay. Worst service we ever had her. Usually mediocre. read more

Happy hour ALL DAY!! Enough said. Ok maybe not...house margaritas were ok. Their special cheese sauce smothered o burritos is the best item on the menu. White queso!! It's rarely found outside of the south! Recommend the Cancún burrito (chicken and shrimp) read more

Went there the night before returning to California and I must say the food was great! We had the San Jose Nachos, the sampler, steak and chicken fajita nacho, and the churros with ice cream for dessert. All were amazing! A must try and they won't disappoint. The service was very pleasant as well. Trust, I wouldn't steer u wrong read more

Alas my quest for decent Mexican food in the west metro continues. Side bar: I thought the north metro was supposed to be a food desert. The west metro is winning that s*&t show competition hands down. Anyways, Teresa's does have a decent margarita. The food is bland though. Even by MN standards. I had fajitas. They were just not good. The salsa is bland. The chips tasted stale. I mean it's not the end all be all in Mexican food but what does a girl have to do to get an Acapulco by the house? Teresa's is fine. It's better than others I have tried but still not as good as I want. read more

I hosted an engagement fiesta and I live out of town. Teresa's was recommended to me and it was an excellent choice. The ground beef, carnitas, rice and churros were delicious. George was extremely accommodating and suggested the perfect amount of food. Definitely try Teresa's for your Mexican food catering needs! read more

Great service good food... Too much food can easily share 2 dishes between 3 ppl. Will be coming back here. Kids absolutely loved the food as well. Gluten free and vegetarian friendly. read more

We've been to Theresa's 3 or four times, and I'm sure we'll be back in the future. Their beer prices are awesome, and their food is good. Once when I ordered a daiquiri I got a margarita instead, but I like margaritas too so it wasn't the end of the world. If it happens again I'll just ask them to remake it with RUM. Yum. For my husband's birthday they sang him a song and had him wear a sombrero. He was annoyed until they brought him a shot of tequila. ;) *This restaurant is listed twice on yelp - this listing and another under Theresa's Mexican Restaurant. My review is posted in both. read more

Great food and great service! This is a great place! My husband and went here for lunch and we got our drinks and (delicious) chips right away. The waitress was very helpful and nice, and we got our food literally so quickly I didn't think it was our food! read more

Mexican? The servers are, but the food is not. I have had food that is as bland, but I doubt that I have eaten anything blander than this was. I got the chiles rellenos, which were marked as "spicy." What was served was anything but. The breading was soggy, the sauce bland as a Minnesota hot dish, and the cheese was barely recognizable as such. The rice was meh, the refried beans terrible, and the overall experience awful. The chips, however were quite good. The salsa, not so much. I get the sense that somebody told the owners that Minnesotans don't like spicy, and they took it to heart. read more

Teresa's Mexican Restaurant is amazing! Our server was very friendly & our food was out promptly. My fajitas were perfectly seasoned & my husband loved his enchiladas. The hero of the day was our server. We had a horrible experience at Avinida in Golden Valley prior to coming here & we were beyond starving! She made sure we were fed very quickly! I will be returning to Teresa's. This restaurant is a favorite. read more

Best cheese dip ever! Attentive lunch service with a smile! They even decorated the front entrance for the Halloween weekend. Only had chips, salsa and cheese dip. My friends did enjoy their beef tacos, but it was nothing specatular. read more

That's a first-rate queso dip. Service was awesome, there is a server with a great attitude who looks like Benicio del Toro :) read more

Would like to say My family wasn't too impressed . My wife and i come there for something special for me and her nights out and decided to bring our daughter to our hideaway.. Well we arrived right at 5pm thinking we could have our normal Booth . only to realize someone made a bad decision to do construction work at peak times. making me have to bring our daughter to the BAR area, Not Cool. shes 10 years old! when the focus was to be by the fish tank and have her get the normal great service and ambiance as we have been delighted with.. we had to move from the bar to another table and our waitress.was pulled from us to help with the construction. Very not Cool. while we were waiting for her to bring back sour cream to ad to our meal so we could start to eat. I had to get up and go find another service person when all of them were trying to figure placement and running around with their heads spinning. although i never do this in reaching out like this. making that decision to do construction during peak times was a b.s. move on your part. it made several of your customers upset. as i myself have managed business and restaurants in my time and i can honestly say it actually threw our night off and made your staff look like they didn't have their excuse me for this. but.. made it seem like they didn't have their shit together and put the whole place at a standstill of confusion. So just saying we went happy and only visit the golden valley location because its closer and the other location doesn't have the same vibe..wrecked our night and our daughters view of a true Mexican restaurant when we choose Teresa's over lacasita. & I'm Mexican so i want the most authentic i can get... I sure hope the owner gets this! as we don't want to leave a bad review on social media.. We spent around $45 to have our night interrupted and a bad first impression to our usual spot! Not impressed... At all! Actually the wife just told me we spent 70.00 including tip... shes pissed.. and wants a call for credit. Well be waiting for a response and i don't think she needs to reexplain herself. .Thank you I called the owner Julio and we are supposed to receive a gift card. We spent $70 please let us know what you need from us. it would be under Troy Curfman. Please confirm you received this so we are all on the same page. Thank you. We do have the receipt for our order and the credit card used was under her name. Now the owner says this all got deleted. nope its been screen shotted as well. they haven't even been read!! all in order and no blue dot that says it was read. There you go nothing was deleted.. bad customer services lies and b.s. we we not impressed on our last visit. and as Julio said if you came in or if it had been that night that the meal would have been comped. looks to me like the run around and we weren't even trying to get nothing for free. we have spent over 200 there in the last two months as its our favorite and now I'm a pissed customer now that nothing is getting resolved. and im not waiting as most businesses would have said lets get this resolved so we can move on .. not push it our because you didn't want to take the time to get it resolved. read more

I'll give this three stars for Minnesota Mexican food (ie: bland and uninspired). It I was rating it against any other Mexican restaurant elsewhere in the US it probably would have received only two stars. On the positive side, the restaurant was very clean, comfortable, and the servers were attentive. We promptly received a large bowl of chips and a mini carafe of salsa. I order a house specialty, classic chimichangas. It should have been called mini chimis. Rather than one large dinner sized chimichangas, the plate had two very small chimis. Rather than being crispy and golden, the tortilla was soft and looked like lefse! The ground beef filling was sparse and bland as well. The plate did have a generous serving of rice, beans, guac, pica, and salad. My partner had some type of chicken dish. When it arrived we noticed it had a square of what looked like American cheese melted on it. I was hoping for better since it's just a few miles from our home and would have been a nice discovery. It's a step above Chipolte, but I think you can find better bland Minnesota Mexican fare elsewhere. read more

I just discovered Teresa's recently and have been there 3 times. Having ordered the Parillada Mexicana (for two), Teresa's Molcajetes, and Bistec la Mexicana I think I can say I love this place. The smokey-seared meats, caramelized vegetables and endless chips puts the Lone Spur to shame. The additional use of nopal(cactus) in most of the dishes adds an interesting flavor and textural component that sets Teresa's apart. The staff has been friendly and efficient, the drinks are priced right and they have horchata! read more

1st of all I have my daughter here on vacation and we where real hungry and excited that you guys have the white cheese dip. They do not have it where she is from. So we ordered our dinner with 2 large white cheese dips and a large quaucamole and 3 meals, one of my meals was missing part of its food, and the way the food was bagged everything in one bag so that when the driver went to hand us the bag some of the food fell out and upside-down, what a mess! Anyway back to the food, the missing food was disappointing I shared some of my food so that my daughter didn't have only1/2 of her meal, I also had ordered 2 large cheese dips an a large quaucamole and salsa which came with a bag of chips for 1/3 of all the dip I got!!! The Chili Relleno that both me and my daughter got was like chewing shoe leather! Plus tasteless! The beans were over salty. All in all a bad experience, we did enjoy the taste of the cheese dip, too bad we have no chips to finish it with! I called the restaurant to let them know of our order and they either didn't answer or it went to a fax! So I called grub hub and was very please with the outcome from them! This rating is for Teresa Mexican restaurant not grub hub. read more

I went here once with a friend for lunch. It was just ok. Nothing too exciting about the food. It's located conveniently off highway 100 in the corner of a dead strip mall. The cheese sauce was good but wasn't served as hot as I'd prefer. Also, I feel like the service was generally lacking. Prices were okay. read more

This place is unbeatable. I don't leave a lot of 5 start reviews but I've eaten at many Mexican restaurants and this is the best in terms of everything really. Value, flavor, price, atmosphere and service. Their chips and salsa (which are unlimited and free like a Mexican spot should do) is excellent. Their servings are huge but the food is VERY reasonably priced. Leftovers are always a plus about this place! And almost all the time the service is very good. We wish it were closer!! Highly recommended. read more

I called and made a reservation on 4/2/2019 for Wednesday 4/3/2019 for 8 people. The woman took quite a while to get the reservation into the computer and was apologizing which was all fine. At the end she asked me how to spell my name (June) and repeated that she had us down for 8 people at 6pm for the next night. When we got there we were told that there was no reservation for us and we had to wait over 1/2 hour for a table. This was extremely disappointing since this was a birthday celebration. They did nothing to try and make us feel better about the situation like buy us a beer while we were waiting or offer us a free dessert or or just anything. We like Teresa's but feel that the manager should have stepped up to the plate to let us know that they were sorry about the inconvenience that they caused us. They really didn't seem to care. read more

What a gem! This a great place! best fajitas I have had in a long time excellent guacamole even better service cozy clean friendly food is great large portions and very affordable read more

The service is good- the chori-queso is amazing. My only complaint was that the fajitas kind of tasted weird. The veggies tasted like soap; or maybe it was the sizzling plate they used. I don't know but it was off! I hadn't encountered that before at this location so maybe it was a fluke? My dad and brother like their meals just fine. The house margaritas are massive but not very strong; would rather have a smaller glass with a better booze to mix ratio. read more

Disclaimer: I typically eat one or two things at Mexican places - tacos and some kind of cheese dip. We've been to most of the local Mexican places, and this is our favorite (granted, I'm in love with Rosa Mexicana, but this is the best of its price category). My husband - who's more adventurous - also loves going here. I really love the tacos - best in the area, IMO (not like they're hard to make). I think they're generous with their helpings. The drink specials aren't too shabby, and they make them strong (if you like that sort of thing). Also, they have reasonable prices. You can tell they make their salsa and cheese dip (love the cheese dip) fresh because it always tastes a bit different (in a good way). We have had issues with the service; but, I don't feel it's bad enough to skip the place. Half the time I wonder if it happens because the waiter can't understand what I'm saying. They're always friendly and helpful when you let them know they gave you the wrong thing. Never had a problem with slowness. read more

This is my all time favorite Mexican restaurant. I eat here often with friends and as far as service goes it's either amazing or mediocre, but never bad. I am quite astonished by how quickly our food comes after we order. Now to the food. I haven't had much from they're menu, but everything I have had is amazing! The Big Bur-"D"-to with steak is the most amazing Mexican food I've ever had. They have awesome Carne Asada and their Queso Blanco dip is perfect as any. Not a bad place to grab a drink either! Highly recommended! read more

This has been a family favorite for years. Not anymore. We had a large party and I had made a reservation. They had room for half of the requested seats. They made this right when we arrived. We had the worst waiter in the restaurant! We had to ask other servers several times to send our server over. He did not consistently take drink orders and rushed us to make our food order. The food came out over a period of 30 minutes, not all together or even an attempt to bring it all together. There was food dropped off at our table that was not ours as well. When we pointed it out, he picked it up and then brought it over to another table after it had sat on our table for 20 minutes! He never asked if everything was ok, he never asked if anyone wanted a second beverage. Horrible service, as a party of 12, we will never go back to this restaurant, EVER. read more

Great service, food was good! Your topical Mexican restaurant menu. Better quality food than places like El Loro. Very nice modern decor inside. read more

I'm glad Golden Valley has a Mexican restaurant, however if you are looking for authentic, this is not. I ordered take-out. The service was extremely quick. The service when picking up the food was very nice. The atmosphere was alive and happy, and it looked like a lot of people were at the bar area. This was on a Saturday night at 8 pm. But for me it all comes down to the quality and taste of the food, and this was a fail for me. read more

I ordered to go food at 4:30 to pick up at 6:00, knowing they'd probably be busy, Cinco de Mayo - they have half my order ready 40 minutes ago, tell me the rest will be another 20 minutes. It's now 6:30. I guess Door Dash rules, because those orders seem to take precedence. And all I hear is "we are short staffed". Why??? On May 5th. On Taco Tuesday. I'm soooo disappointed in this place. I also already paid, and left over 20% tip to support them. Grrrr! read more

I ordered delivery through Bite Squad (my first time using it). I was very happy to find my food was delivered quickly and still HOT! I wasn't expecting all the food they sent (my meal, a large bag of fresh tortilla chips, 2 containers of salsa, 2 containers packed full with lettuce, tomato, guacamole, and sour cream). All of the food was very good especially the tamales. I'm happy I've finally found a good Mexican restaurant to go to/order from in Minnesota!! read more

This is probably the best Mexican food in the Twin Cities. This rivals the food I grew up with in San Diego. If you have not experiences this restaurant, you really must. The BLT tacos are amazing as is the quesadilla sampler. The chips are perfect. And, even better, they deliver on bite squad. If I had only one criticism, not all of the restaurants serve alcohol if any. Sorry, but food this good deserves a margarita. We have ordered from them several times, had it delivered and had a fiesta at the house. A must try!!! read more

Great food, better margaritas, and the best staff. Julio, the general manager is awesome at making sure everything is to your liking and Briana and Chris make the best drinks in the cities. read more

Swiss Enchiladas a disaster. Bland chicken and spinach filling (no cheese as stated in menu) topped by flavorless Swiss cheese slab and flat, canned-tasting tomatillo sauce - nothing salsa verde about the sauce. Menu is too big; cooks obviously don't know the item details. Smaller menu focusing an quality items would boost Teresa's appeal and customer satisfaction. read more

I have been here to eat twice and ordered takeout several times because I live down the street. I always get the quesadilla sampler, which is great. The cheese dip is decent as well. I really love the salsa and wish they sent more of it with to go orders; one small container is not enough! When I have eaten here, the servers and other staff have been friendly and nice. read more

We decided to check out Teresa's while we were on the way to eat at El Loro...it was our first time eating here and we were somewhat skeptical and kinda felt like we were "cheating" on our favorite Mexican restaurant, but we were in the area and it was closer to home. Upon arriving, we noticed the parking lot was very full which to me is a great sign to me, so we went in. We were seated quickly and were served chips & salsa, which I must say was amazing! Our entrees were also extremely delicious . I ordered the street tacos with carne asada that were made to perfection! The only thing is didn't like about our trip here was our waiter wasn't around for refills hardly ever. The restaurant was quite busy so I understand to some degree, but he still should have been around to check on us every so often. They also made a mistake on our bill...other than that, I will most definitely come back to try other delicious food! read more

Teresa's - Street Tacos are amazing!! - Mexican Near Me - Golden Valley, Minnesota

My favorite place for Margarita Monday! Can't beat the variety of flavors and they are always delicious. Food is authentic and fast, but I could really go without zucchini and mushrooms mixed in with my fajita meat- just seems like a way to skimp on the cost of the steak. read more

Simple, delicious, and large portions. They have something that fits any budget and taste. My father always gets the Lindo special. It's a huge portion. I had a quesedilla last time and it was great. Our food was hot and the staff, while having english as a second language, was very friendly and easy to understand. Also, the mall may be older but it was by no mean dilapidated or dirty. In fact Byerly's just renovated in the last two years. The atmosphere was calm and laid back at Theresa's and I recommend it to anyone who wants a laid back, simple and yummy meal. read more
