The best mexican in minnesota, its the real deal, authentic ingredients, authentic taste. Everyone eats here &I have never been disappointed. The Food Truck does not let either just as amazing.

Try the tinga de pollo : beautifully prepared, shredded chicken spiced with smoky chipotle pepper and tomato sauce . The pepper brings just enough heat; onion , cilantro , salsa verde , and lime add zip. Read more

Amazing flavors. It was like a party for the taste buds. It was my first time in & most definitely won't be my last!!! So yum!!

METRO magazine

Any authentic taqueria in the Twin Cities should serve up a solid al pastor taco , but El Taco Riendo;s is especially nice - lipstick red, tangy and garnished with a few pineapple slices . Read more

The quesadillas with shredded barbecue style beef was great. Be sure to try the Corn on the Cob - You'll be disappointed by the State Fair variety after trying this with lime , cheese & mayo .

Best burritos in town , especially if you order them with all the fixings and lengua . Read more

City Pages

Their tinga del pollo was voted as the Best Taco by City Pages in 2011! With shredded chicken saturated in a smoky chipotle sauce , these tacos are excellent, and only $2.15 each!

Jamie Maertens

Best Mexican food in town , hands down. The vegetarian burrito is delicious, and the chipotle chicken is amazing.

ZoeAna

Best agua de horchata I've had in a long time! The burrito & torta are humongous! You better be hungry or share. Good authentic food!

Chloe Cole ????

Best mexican food in Minneapolis. Don't be intimidated by the neighborhood surroundings, the food here is incredible. & that's coming from someone from Texas.

Rebecca Dessonville

Low Carb : get a small plate of the pork rinds . Add plenty of salt. Skip the rice and beans. Fajitas are great with guacamole and sour cream .

City Pages

Voted City Pages top ten Taqueria 's in the Twin Cities ! The unassuming little storefront has one of the largest selections of taco fillings anywhere.

Burritos the size of a newborn baby and so much better than Chipotle for less cash.

Douglas Niemela

Carnitas are the best! Get them in your taco , burrito , or whatever. Just get them inside you!

Paul Perez

Tinga de Pollo burrito w/ guac . Oh, and get both pico and hot salsa ! SHIIIIIIT YEAH!!!!

Josh Basara

It's not on the menu , but ask if the Mexican corn-on-the-cob is available. Grilled corn slathered with a sour cream/mayo mix, chile powder, and cheese .

Michael Esteviz

You can't go wrong with anything best mexican food in the cities !

The Al Pastor at El Taco Riendo's is especially nice - lipstick red, tangy , and garnished with a few pineapple slices .

Probably the best chimichanga I've ever had. Enough for lunch and dinner !

Got the carnitas enchiladas with medium salsa . Pretty good but not as great as the hype made me expect.
