Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

The chicken and carnitas soft tacos are awesome. Dressed with onion, cilantro and hot sauce. Love them. You can order the meat by the lb if you call ahead for catering. It was a huge hit at my last event.

Our favorite Mexican place in the twin cities. They do an authentic Mexican style food not tex mex! Do not expect to sit down and get a free thing of chips. You order at the front counter and they bring your food to you. Their rice is always fluffy and flavorful. Their beans always have a good consistency, texture and flavor. My personal favorites are their enchiladas which can be made with any of the meat selections (carnitas is yummy!). The verde sauce has a nice bite to it. The other favorite is their tamales which are pork and come made with either rojo or verde sauce. My husband loves their carnitas plate. Their burritos are enormous and very reasonably priced. They are very friendly and even have a drive through window.

We had a Groupon to use up so tonight we ventured in, very leary, considering no one was there. This is at 6:30 on a Friday night...Not a good sign. I immediately thought of that show Restaurant Impossible when I walked in. It looks like it could have great potential but its just struggling. The menu was pretty basic and we both just settled on cheese enchiladas. We also asked for chips and salsa but we never got them. Once i tasted the food, I really did not care if I had the chips and salsa. The food was barely warm, the cheese inside the enchiladas wasn't completely melted,and enchilada sauce was out of a can. Lettuce on top was old and I make better cheese enchiladas hands down. The people who own it seem nice but the food needs major improvement. I will never go there again. I have felt sick all night after eating there, seriously...Bad Bad Choice... Let me give you some advice if you have a Groupon - Stay home! Just let it go for the $10 you paid. Its honestly not worth it.

Too pricey if you ask me. Ordered tacos. Had to pay $.50 extra for some cheese and another $1 for a little bit of pico! The food was Not horrible but definitely nothing to talk about. Wont be going back here anytime soon. Or probably ever for that matter. Save your money and go to El Burrito right down the street. Way better food and much more bang for your buck!

I recommend the Beef with peppers and jalepenos, but the chicken was all right. Like many Latino places, there was a TV blaring inside, but it worked out fine because we ate on the patio. It ain't Shangrila, a very narrow concrete patio fronting the strip mall parking lot, but it was an ok place to hang out with the kids and make lots of little tacos out of the generous meals we got. Everyone else there seemed to be native to Latin American countries, doesn't mean the food is good or "authentic," just FYI. But like almost every Latino restaurant I've been to the Cities, the guy who took my order spoke fluent English. For pete's sake, where do I have to go in this town to find an immigrant restaurant where they don't speak my language? As an American, isn't this my right?

Al pastor taco was borderline inedible. Why did it look like it was marinaded in cherry Kool-Aid?? And why doesn't the taco come with double corn tortillas? The one corn tortilla just breaks apart. I had to eat here because nothing else was open late at night. I should've saved myself the stomach ache and gone to bed hungry

An authentic Mexican restaurant that has been Americanized to create an comfortable experience for all. You order like a fast food place and your food is delivered to your table. The room is large, clean and bright. The owner who takes your order is the example of perfect customer service. Friendly, informative and inviting. We ordered the steak and eggs platter with rice and beans. It surprised us how much flavor was packed in this dish. We will be back for the #2 platter again. The two soft shell tacos were excellent. These are not Taco Bell tacos. These are real meat in a homemade flour or corn tortilla. Parking is in a large lot in front of the main door. On our way out the owner thanked us and wished us a wonderful night. His words were from his heart. Very kind. We will be back.

Great little place with fantastic burritos. They always include huge portions for very little money. Friendly staff, and bright atmosphere with Aztec murals on the walls and tv's blaring Univision. For fantastic authentic Mexican food give it a try.

El Taquito offers all the expected elements of a family-owned Mexican restaurant: a wall-sized mural, Spanish-language soap operas, and an friendly, adorable family. It also offers some of the tasiest tacos you'll find in the Twin Cities. There are 11 varieties of tacos and I expect to experience them all over time. During this visit, I sampled the beef cheek tacos and chorizo tacos. i was afraid that the chorizo taco would be greasy, or grainy, as it is in many restaurants -- but it was excellent. It has a great contrast to the tender and subtly-flavored beef cheek tacos. All were served on soft and fresh corn torillas with a side of onions and cilantro. The absence of cheese isn't missed. Tacos were priced individually at less than $2 each, but the portions are small. You'll want to order 4-5 tacos of you have a modest appetite. And, although a bit pricey, it wouldn't be crazy to try one of each.You can get an enchilada plate with beans and rice for less than $10. These were also delicious. There are many Mexican restaurants to try in the Robert Street neighborhood, so it may be awhile until I return to El Taquito... but i will return. I'll aslo keep an eye for their food truck during the summer season in St Paul.

What a terrible place to eat looks like a total crap hole inside and speaking of crap hole 20 minutes after eating there my friend and I are now fighting over the poop house you see explosive diarrhea doesn't begin to describe what this place has done to my bung hole absolutely terrible tasting food and awful service do your poop shoot a favor and stay away

This little hole-in-the-wall has probably the best tacos hands down! I remember the first time we stopped in their some time last summer, we ordered their pork, pastor and tinga tacos and wanted to keep eating them and not leave. Corn tortilla, amazing meat, cilantro and onions and that's it! Oh, you mean there's no cheese, lettuce, sour cream and salsa on that taco? No, that's what Americans do! Don't get me wrong, I like those additions too, but only sometimes. I'd much rather have it in it's authentic form. We'll be going back for the cabeza taco's for sure. That's beef cheek and it's amazing!

I'm in a big search for good tacos and tried out this place after seeing it FOR YEARS when I used to live here. Tacos were more like street tacos that I'm used to, but LARD CITY USA. Holy crap man, just really soggy and greasy. :( The search continues...

This place must be a money laundering front for a Mexican Cartel, or they couldn't have stayed in business for so long. My enchiladas weren't even served warm. Take the advice of the person who said if you have a Groupon, just take the hit and don't go. I'm giving two stars, because I don't feel sick, just yet.

We had the pork taco & enchiladas which we really enjoyed! yummy! When I am near by I plan on stopping by again. Affordable prices and our food was yummy!
(4)Ryan K.
Great place to grab a few tacos to go. The restaurant itself is a little shabby but their food is authentic and delicious. I highly recommend the tacos de lengua (beef tongue). It's extremely tender and succulent, it almost melts in your mouth. The tacos are a little greasy on corn tortillas, but it's the only way to go.

I've been going here for 4 years. I am addicted to their desebrada burrito -- beef stewed with jalapeño, onion, pepper, tomato and potato. 4 times out of 5 it is amazing. On the other hand, I tried a lot of stuff I didn't like before I found this burrito, and the service is sometimes well-intentioned but inept. Still, I can't stop going back for that burrito, at least once a week.

I'd give it a 3.5. We had a buy one get one free again from MetroDiningClub :) It's a local family mexican restaurant and the dishes seem authentic. I ordered the number 1 - a shredded beef plate with red sauce and my girlfriend ordered the number 3 - chorizo and egg plate. Both were tasty and the lady was helpful. The rest of the menu looked good as well and I'll be back again sometime to try more. Maybe the tortas next time.
