Hidalgo Taqueria - Burnsville

Foodie friend and I went on a mission a while back for some tacos next to his new place. His Yelp said they had $1 tacos on a certain day. (Side note, I don 't use Yelp, nor do I trust the majority of it 's resources We went inside the taqueria/mercado hybrid and from what we could tell, there was no dollar tacos. We asked the counter man for help and he kept saying, The one in the mall. Even if you use the Yelp app and show him the address and name that we are in thespot listed, he kept saying nope. Looking online to double check I was beginning to question this place. They showed one location that was in the middle of a residential neighborhood and some prices were inaccurate. Slightly frustrated weweighed options of leaving vs eating here. I saw buche and yearned for another spot that could maybe do it right. I ordered four tacos: buche, chorizo, cabeza and lengua. While my friend ordered a platter of different tacos. While I dideat all of mine, none of them were really good, at all. The chorizo felt old and lukewarm, buche tasted like nothing, cabeza was just ok and the lengua made me question finishing it. My friends platter at the end was barely touched and heonly took one bite from his lengua and said, Nope. With how many tacos are available in the twin cities, you can easily skip this one.

5 stars for the food. I had the carne asada (steak) quesadilla and it's some of the best food I've ever had.

The place was fantastic and had a lot of really cool items, and all the food looked absolutely delicious! Unfortunately, I wasn't there to shop—I was there for a DoorDash delivery. I arrived and stood at the register, right across from an employee who was preparing food, for 10 minutes without any assistance. After that, I decided to wander around to see if I could find someone else to help me, but I was ignored by another staff member as well. It wasn't until I returned to the register and waited for another 5 minutes that one of the employees finally approached me, asked if I was there for DoorDash, and handed me a bag that had obviously been sitting there the whole time. I have nothing against the store; it looked amazing, and I'm sure the employees are friendly. However, as someone who works in customer service, I found this experience to be quite frustrating.

I really enjoyed the variety available in both the restaurant and the grocery section of the store. I sampled three different kinds of meat tacos, and they were all quite tasty. The salsa has a nice kick to it, which I appreciated. If you're in the area, these tacos definitely have an authentic feel.

This restaurant is fantastic! It offers plenty of parking and is conveniently located. The service is quick, friendly, and straightforward. The menu features a wide selection of authentic Mexican dishes, with something for everyone. If you're a fan of tacos, you'll be happy to know they sell meats by the pound. Many taco options come as a full plate, complete with tortillas and toppings, allowing you to create your own tacos. While the place may not be spotless, it is generally quite clean. If we patrons could pitch in by picking up after ourselves, it would help maintain that cleanliness—let's keep it tidy! I'll be back as often as I can, even though it’s not on my usual route for work or weekends. The great value, flavors, and service make the drive well worth it.
