What our guests are saying
Absolutely delicious! Authentic flavors. Well worth the drive from the Twin Cities. We had the Quesabirrias and will come back for more. From the moment we tried the salsa and chips, we knew we found a great place. Our server was really friendly. Thank you!

Taken with the simple yet artistic look of the restaurant. I had Lengua street tacos. It wasn't on the menu, but they were happy to make them. It was delicious and overflowing with meat! The generous portion of chips and salsa were incredibly fresh. I just happened in here while on a girl's trip along the Mississippi. It was a delight. The staff were friendly and quick to respond.

My husband and I both had burritos with hamburger, they were atleast a pound and amazing . While there we tried 3 different kinds of salsa. Each kind was made with different kinds of peppers. ElMexican was by far the best Mexican food we have had. The waiter was so helpful, offering many different sauces, flavor options.
