Family-owned since the 1960s, La Cucaracha is a down-to-earth neighborhood joint, festively decorated with murals , trinkets, and pinatas, creating a cozy feel. Read more

Service can sometimes be a little lacking, but the food is fantastic. The chicken chimchanga is the best in the cities and the Bullfighter margarita is worth the extra money to upgrade! Yum.

Jamie Weishaar

This is by far the best Mexican Food I've ever had! Perfect blend of flavor & spice. I highly recommend the steak platter to anyone who can handle the heat!

Mark Abbott

Puerco Guisado Verde might be the first entree at a Twin Cities Mexican restaurant to hit the true "hot-hot" thresholds you get at South Asian and Caribbean restaurants .

Ben Rosas

$5 build your own Bloody Mary (including pour your own liquor !) Sat & Sun 10:30-2pm

Best Mexican food in the Twin Cities !! So authentic and the staff is just amazing!!!

John Brown

Mix up on our orders/spiciness and the manager came over to tell us we were wrong and treat us like we had insulted her personally. Thanks for making my bday lunch memorable...

Johanna Snow

I was a little nervous coming here especially since their name means "the cockroach" but honestly they have great drinks and good food. The chips are amazing! Get some!

McLean Donnelly

Try the Puerco Pisado Verde - a fun, tasty and spicy build your own pork taco dish.

Natalie Ostrom

My vote as the favorite Mexican Restaurant in the Twin Cities .

Ann Lewis

Chocolate cake , take some home, this is one piece

Matt Everhart

More expensive than you think, be prepared to pay over $20 if you get an entree and a drink. No free chips and salsa . Service was lackluster. Having said all that, the food is quite good.

Ian Rans

The nachos are great. The margaritas are also great... if you're an 18 year old girl. Watered down generic mix and rail tequila . boo. The food is also pretty meh.

Barry Guettler

Best Mexican for miles

Jaime Thompson

Order the green salsa , they don't bring it otherwise.

Chelsea Moga

It was good. Although it's expensive and there's no wi-fi for your smartphone to lean on.
