Large portions

This is a very popular place. It gets really busy however I see why. The food is great they give you large portions and really one meal could serve two to three people. The only downside is because it's so popular it's really hard to...

Would never return. The food wasn’t fresh. Would have rather ate elsewhere. If other places are busy for a meal, just wait. We went here because they weren’t busy. I know why.

Authentic Mexican Food

Every time we visit our son at the University of MN we have to stop here for tacos. They have the best authentic street tacos. They also have monster sized tortas and burritos! Everything is tasty and the prices are fair.

Authentic Mexican food in Minneapolis; it does exist!

Not Worth It

Average Rating

By far the worst Mexican I’ve ever had. From the food to the experience it was not worth it. Waited forever and didn’t even get my whole order. It was also cold. Do yourself a favor and go across the street to Adelita’s.

Tips about this business (3)

Especially in parka weather, you won’t find much common ground between Minneapolis and the ethnic neighborhoods of Southern California. One rare exception is the recent proliferation of some truly great taquerias in and around the Twin Cities, and Northeast Minneapolis’ El Taco Riendo is among the best. From tamales to tripe tacos (yes, tripe--look it up if you must), the menu offers a range of authentic Mexican eats at pleasingly low prices. Indeed, if this place had a drive-thru and stayed open until 2am, it would make corporate abominations like Taco Bell truly obsolete. Particularly...

Save Money

If you’re one of those loyal lunch-goers who loves a good punch card, note that El Taco Riendo offers a buy-five-get-the-sixth-one-free deal on tacos on burritos.

Know Before You Go

The interior is pretty bare-bones--great for takeout or a quick, casual meal, but not a place you'll want to linger long with a date.
