"The atmosphere is beautiful and inviting. By far the best atmosphere of any mexican food place in the Twin Cities. I felt right at home. Great place to bring a date."

"I ordered 2 street tacos 1 tamale and rice with beans. When I tell you the served me 2 brunt tacos full of onions and cilantro trying to hide the black meat. I also didn't receive my tamale. Horrible I will not order from this place ever again. If I knew how to add photos I could show you this garbage I spent $21.00 for food I could not eat."
Daenna Johnson
"Don’t have bar seating if no one knows how to make drinks. We had 3 people ask us what we wanted for a drink, even the “manager,” and they all walked away to the servers area. One brought us water and said they didn’t know what we wanted. The drunk guys next to us had gotten drinks for sure, but we didn’t get ours. We left, obviously. Don Ramon’s is right down the street; better food and far better service. They know how to make drinks as well."
