Easily the absolute best Mexican food I have EVER had, and Mexican food is my favorite. It’s better than what I cook at home! I will be a regular here and we will be telling everyone we know to try it. So just try it.

After my second trip here in ready to crown this place as a new favorite. The authentic spit-roasted Al Pastor is great, it might be the best in the Twin Cities. I had the Alambre the first time and La Burritas today, both were amazing. Highly recommended.

Ordered lunch and enjoyed all of the food during our first time visit. Loved the quesabirria tacos and the el pastor tacos. We will be back for the taco Tuesday pastor tacos.

One of my favorite places in Saint Paul for a casual meal. The pork for al pastor is roasted on a vertical rotisserie (like gyro meat) so it's tender, juicy and crispy all at the same time. They have classic beverages in glass bottles as well as jamaica and horchata. The guacamole, tamales, and asada are all great. The green enchilada sauce is more like a medium heat. The staff is always very nice. I like the dining room with historic pictures, too. It's counter service. There's a big fenced parking lot behind the building.

The workers there were super polite very professional easy to talk to and friendly. They all had smiles on their faces. They were right there to greet us and take our order. The food was amazing. Anybody that's thinking about going here it's worth getting through all the construction to eat there believe me. If you haven't thought about eating here yet; think about it now. The food has awesome layers of flavor; just the right bite. The tamales were moist and flavorful. Great place to eat.
