“Really good food, especially the tinga de Pollo tacos or la Espada. You could actually order a Espada half tinga de Pollo and half carne asada!! ?Las salsas are really good the green one and the orange one, careful they are about an 8 in spicy level.“
“This is one of the best meals you can get in Burnsville. Service is impeccable. Friendly and hospitable staff run this place well and serve wonderful food. This has become a staple for me. I go multiple times in any given week. I would give this as a HIGHLY RECOMMENDED destination to anyone who is hungry. On top of being great food, it is also a great value. I can get full for around $7.00 and get STUFFED for $11.21. I take their tacos, each of which is wrapped in two tortillas, separate the tortillas and spread the contents between the two. This creates 2 tacos out of every 1 I buy, and they are both full of goodness!“
“I will literally drive a half an hour from Minneapolis simply to eat here, even if the weather's bad, I can't use the picnic tables, and I have to eat in my car. This is not a "oh I'll eat here because it's convenient" food truck. This is the best Mexican food I've ever had. And I've had some good food on the border. You won't be disappointed in anything, but the quesabirria tacos are next level, the carnitas are crispy and tender, and the rice is phenomenal.“
“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.“
“Vegetarian options: They don’t have a special menu per se, however you do have the option to customize your own pizza slice/whole with your choice of veggies.Kid-friendliness: Plenty of space for a family of 6 or more to eat in the food courtWheelchair accessibility: They have an elevator that can take you to all the floors the mall has available“
“Gaona's Kitchen at Burnsville Center (food court) is amazing! The food is legit - easily some of the best food I have ever eaten. Everything is prepared fresh and made to order. They have a wide selection of things, including tacos, tortas, and quesadillas, and all packing great flavor! The owners are hardworking, very kind and friendly people, who will make you some excellent food and make sure you leave full and satisfied. Definitely I will be a repeat customer. Don't take my recommendation for it - go there and try it for yourself!“
“First time trying this place and I am so glad I did. It was delicious. The Carne asada, barbocoa and Birria tacos, torta were all amazingly good. The meat was not dry and there was tons of flavor. The staff was friendly and welcoming and the restaurant was very clean. I will be back and definitely recommend to my friends. Thank you“
“Amazing food they have it all ! and they have recently added some new platters here’s a video of some of my favorites that I recommend❣️Vegetarian options: They do have a veggie burrito and are willing to make food to your liking . Although I will say the veggie burrito is all they have but like I’ve said they make things to your liking .Kid-friendliness: They have a kids menu as well !“
“We get takeout from here a lot. I love the tacos árabes. My gluten avoidant spouse loves the street taco style on corn tortillas. The atmosphere isn't bad but the food keeps us going back. I'm also a fan of the horchata.Dietary restrictions: They don't have a separate cooking surface but my celiac spouse hasn't been glutened, ordering GF options..“
“OMG!!!! 2 quesobirrias. How have I never come across this totally killer food truck!!!??? We really like this place a lot. The Birria is sooo tasty! We are adding this to our "3" killer authentic Mexican food staple spots! YUMMO!!! come support this hard working family! Sorry.... no pics this time!“
“Apparently this is a food truck location only. We pulled off the highway looking for this delicious menu and was saddened to only find a gas station.Edit- If closed for the season, can you update so doesn’t say “open” ? Hopefully can try you in the future.“
“This is the only place I can get Caldo En Su Jugo! If you have never tried it, and you're in the mood for a good ? soup...you are going to love it. It's basically a bean soup with steak and bacon garnished with radishes and avocado slices. Squeeze a little lime in it and add as much or as little of the cilantro and onion. Pro tip: sit at the bar and get a Modelo and they will take good care of you.“
“I choose the closest Mexican restaurant to my hotel for cinco de mayo. I believe this is real authentic Mexican food. I had a hard time ordering because I don't speak Spanish but we got through it and got what I ordered ! The restaurant was busy and messy, I think they were dealing with a lot of to go orders. I liked the salty chips and the pork is stewed with peas! Next time I would just get the meat without the rice. In my burrito.“
“We were at El loro Wednesday night with our family. The service is always so fast and the food comes out so quickly. I had the chicken tortilla soup. The amount of chicken in the soup was incredible. There was so much that I had left overs for two more meals! Especially love their chips with the salsa and queso. It's worth the trip!We have also used them to cater our daughter's graduation party. Very affordable!“
“I give 5 stars for the food which was delicious but for the service they give it is very bad they charge you the tip sometimes without helping you and there is a sign on the door that says 18% tip is fine everything yes we have to earn but I work and I have my salary but they don't pay me just for showing up for work they pay me for working more clearly I have to earn my money by working not demanding it there is only one waitress who is very friendly I don't remember her name but she is one of the youngest but there is a weak vote that I think He thinks he's the boss, but hey, it's me. Observation and what I exist and what I think and I come back to it because the food is delicious.“
“I stopped by this food truck on a Saturday evening. Was not busy, and despite the location of the food truck, I felt safe and was able to wait in my car for the food. The food was made to order and took less than 15 min to be ready. They will let you know when the food is ready. This was one of the most authentic Mexican food I have ever tried! I got the Quesabirria (comes as 2) and one taco. The meat and flavors in both meals were so delicious. Ive been craving them both and will probably stop by again when I am in the area next. Just a side note, the Quesabirria were very spicy (but still delicious and appetizing), so just a fair warning to those who are sensitive :) Also, there are not very many vegetarian options if you are looking for that.Parking: Parking is located on one side of the gas station. There might be limited parking when you arrive, depending on how busy the food truck or the gas station is. I arrived on a Saturday evening around dinner time, and there were visibly 1-2 open parking spaces, with people coming and going.“
