Mexican Restaurants near West Saint Paul

“Wonderful little dessert shop specializing in fruit with ice cream. We enjoyed the Mangoneada and the Fresas con Crema. This is a perfect place to go for a date. Everyone was friendly. We went with friends with kids, and the staff were very patient as we figured out what we “

“Very relaxed atmosphere, the people behind the counter were kind and patient. Large servings for a low cost! The chicken in green sauce and spicy steak were both tender and delicious! I got their mild green salsa, and it was mild, almost sweet. I'll try their hot sauce next time. The rice and beans were well cooked and perfect vessels for when the toppings fell out of the tacos.“

“Delicious, generous portions, and an informal atmosphere make Morelos a gem near the borders of West St Paul, Saint Paul, and Mendota Heights. The food is tasty and served hot. Lots of choices on the menu, including gluten-free options.Pictured: chimichanga (not gluten-free), enchiladas suizas (gluten-free)Dietary restrictions: Some gluten-free options on the menu“

“Wow! It's cute (eclectic), nothing fancy on the inside, but make no mistake, the food is absolutely amazing! Delicious tacos. Great service. Kiko was great. So much of the food is made from scratch using family recipes. This has to be some of the best Tinga I've ever had. I tried the authentic Barbacoa tacos (it's Beef Cheek)...AMAZING! We ordered 6 different tacos all on corn tortillas with cilantro and onion (they also offer flour tortillas). Their homemade sauce is spot on - a hint of spice and a nice flavor. I also tried a Tinga Syncronizada - highly recommend!! So cheesy and delicious. I missed out on trying a tamale because they were sold out, so that's probably a good sign. We will most definitely be going back.“

“Likely the best Qdoba I’ve been to yet. I was greeted as soon as I walked in, great customer service. The food has always been good at Qdoba in general, but great customer service seems to be something that most places don’t excel at anymore. This place does.“

“I went here for the first time and I got the steak quesadilla and it was DELICIOUS I will definitely be going backParking: Plenty of parkingKid-friendliness: Nice tables for kids to sit comfortablyWheelchair accessibility: Handicap Parking right in front“

“The 4-star rating has nothing to do with the food or the employees at all. The employees are worked maniacally and the line here is always 10 to 15 minutes long. But that's not their fault and often because of how busy they are they do run out of different Meats but that's also due to mass production.“

“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.“

“I wanted to try this place since I drove past their "We have tamales" sign about a month ago. I popped in last weekend and ended up ordering enchiladas instead (which were made to order as I waited). There are 3-4 high-top tables for eating in if you prefer. While I waited, I took a look around. This place is also a small market and would benefit from being more neat, tidy, and more visually appealing. Things are stuffed into and on top of every surface in the store. That said, I'm not sure if these two places are under the same, or separate, owners. So? Back to the food! :-)My enchiladas (which came with a side of rice and black beans) were delicious! I went back today to try their Oaxacan chicken tamales and was equally pleased - I'll be back to try their tacos next!“
