26 Best Mexican Restaurants near Prior Lake

“We happened to get in on our first Ofelia's experience when a friend picked up tacos for those of us helping my daughter move into her new home in Prior Lake. We were really impressed!Now we look for reasons to come there on Thursdays or Saturdays (we live a half hour away) so we can pick up their fabulous food.The beef brisket or pork tacos are amazing, and the beef brisket burritos are HUGE! Only wish they also offered a side of tortilla chips and salsa. That would perfectly round out meal.“

“The service at Teresa’s Prior Lake is excellent! Very attentive staff, friendly and so efficient. This is a family friendly restaurant with a great atmosphere. The food is delicious! We love the complementary chips and salsa - every dish we have ordered has been tasty and delicious always served quickly and warm. It has become a fun restaurant to gather with family or a date night.“

“At noon from Monday through Friday I go to La Casa Deli and order my meal. "Cuatro wet birria quesotacos & café" is what I tell the server after I sit down, preferably next to the fire. The tacos come with limes, serrano salsa & the birria soup. Once I saturate my quesotacos in lime juice, I dip them in the house made serrano salsa. Before too long there are no tacos on my plate, which is now covered in orange grease, along with my face and my right hand. The birria soup has a little beef at the bottom, before it too joins the fresh cut vegetables and peppers. My coffee is always too hot, so I take it to go and enjoy it later after I clean up.Please ensure this establishment thrives, I can't get better Mexican food anywhere else.Casa Deli Savage,Thank you.“

“The Pineapple Boat was Amazing! Loved the street tacos!“

“If you haven't tried this place, you are missing out! The staff here go above and beyond to make sure your dining experience is wonderful. They're friendly, attentive and kind. We couldn't get enough of the chips and salsa. The food is absolutely delicious fresh, flavorful, filling and oh so good. The Vikingo watermelon margaritas were awesome!“

“The food is good ??It is along the lines of chipoltle food & the price is like the same amount.They offer ? burritos and bowl's.I used to like the burritos they would mix the ingredients on the shell with a spatula before rolling the burritos up and i like that but this last time I ordered a bowl, the guys making the food were fast and did not give any attitude or faces like a lot of fast food places.The ? parking was so/ so , if you dont mind walking a little bit it is in a larger parking lot with various establishments and there should be always something open within 50 feet.Meat options there was chicken, steak, pork, tofuasada.The salsa options were plentiful and aside from that they put salsa in a shaker there, it is volcano ? salsa at the table.I feel this brand is less known than its counterparts chipoltle or qedoba or others maybe if they had a specialty item that others did not offer in addition on there menu or something they could drive in more customers; I recommend offering Huaraches on the menu made with masa or corn tortillas the restaurant already serves everything else that goes on top! It is like a sopes but more authentic and would be a good addition to this store.Vegetarian options: Tufu-asada.“

“Been going here for a couple years now to get the steak tacos and they are by far the best steaks tacos around! Awesome people too“

“Delicious Mexican food and excellent service.“

“I love the food here at Gaona's! My favorite is the quesadilla. You have options for meat, and I really liked their al pastor and chorizo. Also, the quesadilla is a homemade corn tortilla and it's phenomenal! The owners and staff are super friendly and I can't wait to come back for more!“

“It's seriously a gem. HUGE pizzas with lots of topping and good cheese for an awesome price. Im so sad that they stopped serving lunch. My workplace went there a lot!“

“Zantigo is excellent. I usually order their green chili burrito, with two hot chilitos. Very yummy. (you have to slurp the burrito. hahaha)“

“Wow! Where do I start? My wife ordered the Fajita Burrito and I ordered the Tinga Huaraches and quesadilla Carnitas, and for dessert, I ordered fried Ice Cream. I ordered this wonderfully authentic meal over the phone. The service was really quick. I reviewed the menu while I paying for my meal and I could not resist salsa and chip with a bowl of guacamole. The kitchen prepared the chip and also from scratch. I heard them preparing the fresh ingredients and wow! I loved it. Well, what can I say? I loved everything we ordered. The portions were large and so incredibly delicious. The menu was clear and concise, and the ambiance of the restaurant was clean and presentable. I'm telling you, folks! Don't hesitate to visit this fantastic establishment!!!“

“The chilaquiles were delicious! Hand made corn tortillas from the freshly made masa was outstanding. This is the real deal. Super authentic and friendly staff with wonderful service. Very helpful in describing the menu items. Highly recommend.“

“Very nice crew!! I really recommend“

“My Mexican hubby complains of the lack of good authentic Mexican food inMN but raves about all the things we tried at Tacos Tacuba!!“

“SUPER YUMMY!!! I've been getting the "Lunch Fajitas" about 1 - 2x per month on average for lunch, for a few years now. Consistently good, plenty of food and the price is great. Service is always friendly. 5-Star Recommendation from me!!“

“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 !“

“They staff was extremely friendly and courteous, especially considering we barely got there before close because my daughter was hungry on our way home from a long trip on a Sunday night. Food was incredible and the restaurant was very clean and well kept.“

“Food was very good, had squash which I don't see at a lot of mexican restaurants! Good cilantro sauce as well! Very expensive! Service really lacked, never even got water, didn't get things we asked for, had ta hunt down server to say theymessed up my order, then when u pay it's on their phone thing or something and the tip is already added and they hold the pay thing so they expect a good tip while they watch what u put in. But service was not great!Vegetarian options: U just hafta ask to remove the meat, still get charged for the price of meat but not really vegetarian options.Dietary restrictions: They have a GF menu I think, I'm allergic to much more and they did work with it.“

“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!“

“The food was excellent and well cooked. The drinks were delicious. The staff was very friendly. You can tell this place is loved by locals by how busy it was. Even our Uber driver said "good choice" when they saw where we were going.“

“If you haven’t tried the new Cantina Tacos, YOU ARE MISSING OUT. The flavor is great, and they even bless you with the courtesy of having a 13,000 pound African bush elephant or a Caterpillar Road Roller completely crush and flatten the tacos for you so when you open the wrapper, they are guaranteed to completely come apart in your lap and all over the floor. Don’t forget to ask for extra sauce to piece and glue the crumbs of your lunch back together. Five stars ONLY because of the professionalism and overall kind demeanor and helpfulness of the manager working at the window.“

“Yummy authentic Mexican food. Prices are a little above your typical, but the ENORMOUS proportions make up for it twice over. The burrito I ordered was larger than my forearm and was delicious. Easily two meals worth of food for the price of one.“
