    Flan
    Rachelle S.

    Have gone to this place a few times. Tried so many things. Recently had birria pizza. That was incredible. Also had their chimichanga, queso, and flan. All really good. The chimi had a cheese sauce and I had the chicken and would get again. They have some of my favorite flan! I'm a huge flan person and I always get! Parking is tricky as they are in a strip mall off 36th but typically can find a spot. The staff has always been super nice. The place itself is a vibe!

    Great bar to belly up and watch a game!

    Amazing food. Great service. Fun atmosphere. Will be back no doubt. 10/10 The staff is always so friendly and the food is delicious. The side bar is great spot to belly up and watch a game. I love this place. It's in the weekly rotation and my go to spot for Mexican food.

    Their food is fresh, authentic, and yummy! You order at the front and then they either call your number or bring your food to your table based on how busy they are. Everyone on staff is super friendly and accommodating. The restaurant is brightly lit, lots of tables including booths and a bar. There were also TVs and neon signs, it was a fun atmosphere. I highly recommend eating in so you can enjoy a beergarita or getting takeout!

    Street Taco

    My friend picked up tacos to-go from The Taco Shop to eat outside on a nice night and I've craved them nearly every day since!! I tried the chicken, carnitas, and al pastor tacos. All 3 were great, but my favorite was the al pastor. The side of chips were great and tasted super fresh! The packaging was also A+!!! I loved the individual slots in the box for each taco to keep them standing up and put together.

    Birria Tacos

    It's a tiny space. When we were there there was a party taking up half the space, so only 4 tables were available. Come prepared with what you want haha, because the menu is big, bright and hard to read due to font. We had the chimichanga (very small) and birria tacos. Both had great taste, but simply weren't worth the hefty prices. Friendly and quick staff. Parking is in back FYI, don't listen to Google haha

    Very flavorful food with many vegetarian and gluten free options Street parking out front. The restaurant is very small so only food for takeout or a small group. Service is fast- they have a cheaper price when you pay with cash

    What a fun little discovery. This taco shop has incredible authentic mexican classics in a redeveloped area of Saint Louis Park. I kept hearing about this place from friends and food reviews and it is worth the hype!!! You see in my pics carne asada street tacos a must order when evaluating mexican food Birria queao tacos Mexican bowl Wet burrito And a machete a masa corn tortilla stuffed with asada, beans, cojita cheese, lettuce and sour creme and served with peppers and onions Chips and guacamole for real mexican fans, queso for you midwest wonders are both really good and the horchata and mexican coke are great to drink

    Burrito with cheese sauce

    Small Mexican place with really fun black and pink interior decor. We got pickup tamales and a burrito from here. Still hot when we picked up. The tamales come unwrapped and covered in sauce. The burrito looked huge, but was actually the right amount for a hungry human. Street parking only. Absolutely nothing wrong, just not mind blowing and only had 2 items. Would go back to try more and increase stars. 3.5

    This place is super cute! It's a smaller restaurant so I'd say don't go with too many people unless to place to takeout. They do a few tables outside (sidewalk patio). I ordered a chicken tinga bowl & horchata. The food was decently flavored. I'd for sure go back and try more items. They have a cute little ice cream cart you can rent for events. The overall ambiance was nice. I liked all the neon lights & of course black and pink.

    Authentic, tasty, and quick service makes the Taco Shop a great stop. I love the convenient location in beautiful St. Louis Park. Our food was cooked to order but still ready in about 10 minutes. Loved the flavors and options for different meats, mushroom alternative for veggie lovers, with both tacos and non-taco options!

    Three street tacos with a roasted pepper and roasted onion with radishes and cucumbers. This place was five stars without a bite.

    My wife and I were out in St. Louis Park, north of Edina and it was new restaurant Saturday. I sauntered into the smallish strip mall space, but it was surprisingly large inside for the area they had. There is a huge menu, but I was in here for STREEET TACOS. I got the lengua (tongue), some beef head (delicious) and the pastor, by far the best! The pastor was so flavorful, spicy, yet, not. The head and lengua was perfectly spiced, because you could not tell it was fatty meat. If you told someone what it was before they had it, they may not even try it, but it was delicious. I have had lengua which is very fatty, this was not at all, and the beef head was like a delicacy, almost like beef cheeks, which I have had. Maybe a better name for it. Anyway, great food and nice enough service. The food was filling and great! It is in a small place, so you have to look for it in St. Louis Park

    What are the light! I had some unique rice on the bottom, covered with cheese, covered with vegetables and shrimp, very delicious. My son had three tacos and a steak sandwich. He gobbled it all down in record time. The service was friendly. I waited for my takeout order and it was very fast. This is a very small restaurant inside maybe 10 tables? I think they do a brisk take out business. Try it out!

I love this place, and the food is on par with a lot of Mexican food in California. Most recently, we went to celebrate a birthday. We go here because they are veggie friendly. We ordered the veggie enchiladas and I got a veggie wet burrito. Everything was delicious. My only complaint would be that things could be a bit saucier...but that's a preference thing and we get salsa on the side for it. We also got chips and guac -- delicious as well!

It's a bit whitewashed and leans more Cal-Mex than anything you'd find in Mexico, but I'm not complaining. I love a good California burrito and asada fries, so this style has its place (especially in Minnesota). Service can be slow. It took us about an hour to get two burritos yesterday and the restaurant didn't look busy. Maybe they were just short staffed. My main issue is the salsa. They limit you to one packet per person, and it's not the slightest bit spicy. And where are the limes? This place desperately needs a salsa bar with real options and some heat. Bump up the salsa selection and stop rationing it, and this would be a solid spot. For now, I'll keep getting this to go and buying my own salsa and limes.

They are not serving alcohol anymore which is unfortunate to not be able to enjoy a margarita but they had a large mocktail list.

The skirt steak enchiladas were a standout and easily my favorite dish of the meal. The steak was tender, the portions were generous, and everything came together really well. The queso was rich and creamy, and the fresh guacamole was a great starter while we waited for our food. Service was friendly and attentive throughout our meal, and the overall atmosphere made it a really enjoyable place to spend the evening.

Very disappointing. The shrimp aguachile was extremely soupy with overpowered spice, making it unable to taste the shrimp. The plantain chips were thick and hard, rather tasteless. The arepas were a little more flavorful but really wouldn't recommend any particular one that we tried. The only hit was the black bean empanadas, extremely great flavor, just a hint of spice served with pickle cabbage. Yum. We should just have had four orders of those.

We know Mexican food, having traveled extensively throughout Mexico since the 1980s. Mexico City is a frequent destination now that we're older, and hopping around the country isn't as easy. The many dishes we tasted at Colita were bland and lacked the explosion of flavors of authentic Mexican regional cuisine. Go to Oaxaca, and your taste buds will be blown away. Service was cold and perfunctory. We sat at the bar on this Sunday evening in August, and the female server was decidedly corporate, casting humanity aside for a robotic affect, half listening and half uninterested. Fun was vacuumed out of the room. Colita was not designed for laughter and frivolity. The place was crowded, but this was a restrained crowd on a Sunday night. Colita was more Linden Hills than Kingfield, if you know what I mean. Our favorite dish was the carnitas tacos. They had the flavors of Mexico. Our check was Minneapolis high, usually worth it, but maybe not at Colita. It was our last night living in the lakes area before we move to the North Loop.
