    The pumpkin flower (flor de calabaza)and corn smut (huitlacoche) quesadillas are boom. Azteca Salad is fine and the Camarones a la Diabla (hell shrimps),literally😂the spicy level was my stomach ache.

    Can't even begin to describe how much my mouth is watering from looking at the online menu (I always seem to have a craving for Mexican food). Check out the September Special for $6.99! Read more

    Voted City Pages top ten Taqueria's in the Twin Cities! Think of a tortilla as a hand, and all the meat and onion and cilantro and salsa held inside it as a bouquet of protein, flavor, and spice.

    I never miss a chance for the Haurachazo. Vegetarians should try the pumpkin flower filling.

    If you are in the mood for waiting endlessly for a table, poor service, and margaritas made with orange juice, this is your place. That was my experience on 5/5/14.

    We enjoyed the tacos and fajitas. Go only if you have plenty of time--food is good but service is painfully slow.

    Shrimp soup is similar to Korean ZZAMPPONG. But sprite is not good to recommend.

    Worst margaritas ever-nothing but juice. Wait staff non-attentive. Table of 6 had to share 5 sets of silverware and plates-even after asking repeatedly asking for another set.

    And at what Mexican place do you not get chips and salsa for free? This one. Save your money and go somewhere else. Food and drinks well below average.

    Nope. I will not come here again. My 'chimichanga' came with pizza sauce and mozzarella. And since when do you have to pay for chips?!

    Tried when they first opened, will not go back. Salsa looked more like tomato soup. Carnitas had no flavor. Only good thing was the booze.
