I have ate here many times but lately when in the drive-thur nachos are burnt not good at all

Plenty of options for food & seating (indoor and outdoor) Food is fresh, grilled & prepped warm at ordering. Ordered veggie tacos-yummy and sweet pork nachos (container is empty so must've been good). The horchata was thumbs up & their key lime pie is deeelliish!

I actually enjoyed their food but will never return as I got robbed... I was charged full price but didn't even get half a bowl of food. I was going to complain but felt it a waste of time. I left with the impression that the worker wanted more "leftovers" to take home. Don't make the same mistake I did.

Really disappointed with my experience today! Ordered drive through and when I got home and started eating discovered they gave me the wrong protein on both salads! I doubled checked the receipt to confirm it was correct but not what I received. I drove all the way back to the store drive through 8:01 PM Sunday and they were closed 8PM. I drove up to the window and waived at employees inside cleaning and had already had all food stations broken down and gone (1 minute after close?) the store’s manager (owners son) provided a refund but absolutely no sympathy to the complete waste of time and inconvenience for me to come back and not have the meal I was hoping for! Seemed to me he and the crew were more concerned about going home then taking care of a customer that was given to the wrong food!! Well they don’t have to worry about my business anymore as I will go elsewhere.

The place is very unassuming. By this I mean, it feels like an average white suburbian strip mall restaurant trying to be a Mexican. But the food is much better than you would expect.I bought steak tacos and they were the best tacos outside of South Saint Paul I've had in MN. The black beans were delicious, they had great flavor... so much so, that both of my sons (12 & 7) said they wouldn't mind having some more with rice.Everything I ate tasted fresh and I would highly recommend it. If you are into spicy, the salsas would barely tickle, so I would skip them all together.By the way, the flower tortillas were delicious! But I did not see any corn tortillas on-site. But they have Cholula and Tapatio bottles by the soda machine.

This place is awesome, it’s the only location east of Utah that I know of. Wish they would expand into the northern part of the Twin Cities so I wouldn’t have to drive all the way down from Blaine when I want one of these delicious burritos!

Great food! We ordered catering for a family party and it worked out great! Wendy was very helpful in getting set up and offering suggestions. Family was asking where the food was from because it was so good! Would recommend for catering in future or for a quick tasty meal!

The quesadilla i ordered vs the one I got. At least they didn't make me pay full price for this little thing.

Love this place. The meat is always freshly cooked and ingredients fresh. So much better than Chipotle. The workers are so nice and friendly too!

Very friendly staff. And the food is amazing. I will definitely be back.
