21 Best Taco Restaurants near Spring Lake Park

“The prices here are very good and they have a good variety of options available (including ground beef tacos which most taco trucks don't have). The 3 meats I tried (steak, chorizo and ground beef) all tasted good but in my opinion, there are better options available nearby in the taste department. The super hot sauce (pictured) is amazing though. I love spicy food and this really made the tacos taste great. If the meat was better, it would have been perfect!I got 5 tacos and 2 Mexican Cokes for $21 so pretty cheap compared to other places.“

“I have lived in this area for a long time and seen countless restaurants try and fail to make this building work and it for a while was generally regarded to be a cursed location.I moved away 3 years ago but was diving by and noticed it wasn't the old BBQ place (which was half decent). Stopped in and picked up some tamales to go (pollo verde and birria). They had some ready right by the door so it was easy in/out. Reheated great and really hit the spot.I think I'll be going out of my way to come back here.“

“Excellent food!! I am crazy about this place. I tell everyone to try it instead of the more well-known Mexican place next door. I've tried the burritos, tacos and tostadas and every ingredient has always been super fresh. The burritos are huge and I love how they grill the outside well so the tortilla is crisp.“

“Excellent burger and fries with delicious house sauces. The jalapeno burger and mushroom Swiss burgers slap. The burgers are salty so get yourself a beverage to round things out.The house sauces (BBQ and standard house) are real nice. The fries are crispy and satisfying.“

“I have to admit I love setting up "quests" for myself. Best apple pie. Best gin. My newest quest is looking for the best birria tacos in the Twin Cities. Birria tacos are filled with slow coated meat cooked with spices and served in crispy corn tortillas. They originated in Michoacan in Mexico, and they are delicious!That is how we ended up at Nico's. Last weekend I picked up a batch take-out. Last night we ate at the restaurant.We arrived early and sat at the bar so we could talk about tequila and mezcal with the bartenders. They are incredibly knowledgeable, and I ask a lot of questions. I opted for the flight of repasado tequila. The shots were served in this amazingly cool wooden box decorated with a skull design. They were all good, and generally I don't like tequila! It turns out that the various types of tequila ( white, repasado, anejo) are incredibly different. My husband was ordering a cocktail, and the bartender recommended a different one, with Mexican whiskey and a corn liqueur, and my husband really liked it.Our friends arrived, and we sat at our table. We got their house made chips with a flight of salsas...I loved the roasted corn one but all were good. Of course I ordered the birria tacos - you get three complete with consume and radishes, onions, etc. These really are delicious. They are made with lamb, and it was tender and juicy. My husband and our friends got a mix of tacos. I liked the pescado and pescado asado tacos, but they needed a bit more salt and a bit more topping. The mushroom one was interesting, but rather bland. The single tacos range from $4-5, so it is very affordable. I also had their horchata, which was a very nice version of this classic rice and cinnamon drink. It was not overly sweet, which was very nice!All in all it was a lovely meal. I will absolutely go back for those birria tacos.The service could not have been better. They were attentive, kept the water glasses filled, and in every way made us feel taken care of. I recommend this place a lot.“

“Oh my gosh! This is absolutely my favorite Taco place. I ordered the Quesabirria and it was to die for! The quality was high and the price was reasonable. The juice to dip it in was delicious as well.Service was quick, and there was no wait to order. Plenty of seating and it certainly looks like an authentic Mexican restaurant - good food with mediocre decor. I will absolutely be back! Weekly?! We’ll see!“

“This taco truck has delicious food! The tacos, burritos, elote, quesadillas and rice and beans are all so yummy! I'm sure everything on the menu is great! I usually call ahead and pick up our food. The staff is always so nice and friendly! I wish I lived closer!“

“I've had plenty of different taco spots but none can compare to this one! Favorite tacos ever, if I can't have these tacos I don't want them!!!Parking: Always have parking!! Sometimes it can be a little busy but it's worth it!“

“This food truck has great food and conveniently located off 42nd Street. There always busy, you can pre-order and pickup as well. Ambiance 4/5 Food truck is conveniently located outside right off 42nd. It's right next to a liquor store if your so inclined to grab drinks and food to go! I always felt safe, never any sketchy business happening. Outside of the traffic, it's a pretty quiet area even in the Summer. Food 5/5 Have lots of options. I ordered the melons, Elotes, drink, and rice and beans. Cost 5/5 Altogether I paid about $15 Service 5/5 Always friendly and helpful when providing a drink carrier. I was informed they take preorders which was nice to know! Overall 5/5 great place if your in the area and on the go!“

“I made an impulse stop at the Central Ave location when I was running errands in the area a few months ago. Everything is so good...the ingredients are fresh, and the service is always super fast. I've been back several more times and am always impressed.“

“I love this family and I love this food truck!The Mexican steak tacos are my favorite.Realistically, though everything that I order off of this truck is fresh and delicious.If you want authentic Mexican food they have it. If you want a hamburger and fries they have it. I ordered the nachos today and will order them again.The sauces are my favorite and if they ever bottle the sauce I will buy it!“

“Well seasoned. Meat was a little dry but the marination was top notch. Tacos held together well, there was an average amount of meat for the price, mild salsa was stellar and the limes weren't too dry. I kept looking at my takeout box on the drive back home because it smelled so good.This is not inside the gas station as Google might make you believe. This is a truck to the side. Signage could be more visible.There is one bench and one table in the area. Very much a takeout place. I would come here more often when I'm in the area.“

“Our hotel desk clerk recommended this place and it was close by so why not try it. We were not disappointed. We were seated right away. Our waitress made many recommendations including the monthly specials. The Rueben sandwich was almost as good as I get in NYC. He had the monthly juicy Lucy special stuffed with corn beef and sauerkraut with cheese and 1000 island. It was amazing. We tried their large tater tots and oh my.... There were numerous tvs around with lots of different sports channels which was perfect for us. Would definitely go again if we ever return to Minneapolis.“

“The birria ramen is in a class by itself. I dined at the Uptown location and the food was excellent and the service was great. Even with a language barrier we worked it out! Good service is at an all-time low so it was refreshing to be treated w such kindness and consideration. Thanks and we'll be back!“

“Dive bar feel. Chips and salsa were delicious with the cantina style chips and not too hot/spicy salsa as well as delicious cheese/queso dip too. Service was quick and friendly. Bathrooms were clean and accessible. Lots of drink and food options for a quick stop.“

“We managed to stumble upon this food truck when trying to find Costco. I was surprised to see a food truck open in February so we had to stop!And boy, were we glad we did. The steak tacos are excellent! If we happen to find it again, we will stop.Parking: They were stationed at the Costco.“

“Great Barirra’s, this is a favorite of mine, they don’t skimp on the shredded beef, like some places, if you like Mexican food and are in Minnesota, this is a must try. Bringing a desire for Taco Tuesday back weekly. Delicious! See videos “

“I've been going to this nice little Mexican place and in saint Francis mnI will say this they need more sauces a hot sauce would be good to add . The enchiladas dinner is 14.00 you get plenty of food the beans could be mashed and add some cheese but good .The service is always pleasant thankful the young couple running the Resturant are there long hours daily let's give the small business people to make it thrive let them know what they should add they take suggestions very well . Tuesday is taco tuesday 3 tacos for 7.50 but they are loaded with meat too .Try it spread the word“

“Incredibly reasonable prices for 2 tacos, rice, and refried beans with all the fixings!! I've not gotten anything from El Taco Riendo that I haven't enjoyed. No fancy decorating but who cares?? I'm all about the quality of the food. Superb.“
