The fastest I've ever gotten food at a sit down restaurant. And the La Lancha was so ridiculously flavorful. A fantastic place.

They were closed. The sign on their door says they're open until 11pm. I arrived at 10:05pm and they shrugged their shoulders and said sorry.. If you advertise certain hours, stay open!

I was hungry for Mexican food and this restaurant had a location close to our home so we stopped. It is a standard type of restaurant in terms of tables, chairs, ambiance etc. Both booths and tables are available for seating and allows for some larger groups too it appears. We started with a Texas Margarita which was very tasty. They offered a LOT of different flavor options as well as beer and other options. We also got the Queso Fundido which was excellent. Cheesy with a nice amount of ground sausage in it and a few warm, soft tortillas which I stole from my husband so he had to use chips. Oh chips....they had very good chips with a nice fresh salsa as well. I got the Combo #6 which came with an enchilada and a tamale, rice and beans. Everything hit the spot and it had a really good flavor. That is what I have found missing lately at some of the more "American" Mexican restaurants and I really wanted some flavor and wasn't disappointed. My husband got the Combo #1 and was also very happy with his dinner as well. The portions were a nice size and allowed for some leftovers as well. It looked like they were expanding the restaurant when we went so that is nice to get a bit bigger space. We were pretty happy with our experience.

We LOVE this place it has the most delicious food with lots of variety on the menu! Complimentary chips and salsa is delicious and their queso is incredible. The outdoor seating is fun to go with friends and get margaritas! The food is so incredibly fast and hot! Steak tacos with fresh onion and cilantro is my husband and I's favorite!! Great service as well!

Service is amazing. They are very friendly, fast, and efficient. The food is very good. I'm surprised it's not busier on a Saturday. If you want good Mexican and fast friendly service give it a try!!

I've been here twice now since they opened up in Cub foods complex near the Transit Station. The place has a fun, Mexican atmosphere, with bright colors and authentic music playing (including some contemporary stuff). Our servers have always been very pleasant, but not the most helpful. (For example, we ordered Margaritas recently during happy hour, and were not told the medium Margs were on special, so paid full price for a small Margarita, instead of getting the medium for less than the small). But my biggest complaint is the food. The first visit I had an average burrito--okay, but I can get better from food trucks in the area. The second time I split the Texas Fajita's with my wife (chicken, steak and shrimp). The shrimp was way overcooked (rubbery!), and there was probably less than two ounces of either steak or chicken, neither of which was very tasty. And this comes with only three small tortillas. I know we were splitting, and didn't mind paying for extra tortillas, but if I had been eating alone, this would have barely been enough food, and definitely not enough tortillas.

THIS IS NOT AUTHENTIC MEXICAN! not even authentic southwestern either. I was extremely disappointed when there was no fries in my California burrito, it was 80%rice, no Pico de Gallo, a little smidgen of meat, and a half filled wrap. It was also out within 5 minutes of me ordering.... if that's not questionable idk what is. It was barely warm. And just an overall horrible experience here. Go elsewhere. Save yourself the disappointment.

Close an hour early, They were very disrespectful and rude!Won't be back there.Just asking, What time does it say you are open on friday night on your door?

I had the burrito Parian with steak and queso in the side. I really liked the queso. A few pieces of the steak were tough so I’d probably try chicken next time. Overall not bad. Coke products are a plus!

This is a great Mexican restaurant in Burnsville. Very nice decor. They offer both booths and tables, both are top quality. I had the chicken Burrito Minnesota with beans and rice. Everything was seasoned just right-not bland and not to spicy. Everything was hot with generous portions. My wife had the burrito el parian with beef and was also very happy- to much to finish. The wait staff was friendly and our dinners came out quickly. They also offer outside eating on their very nice patio with umbrellas. This place is worth trying out.
