Taqueria El Rincon

The street tacos here are incredibly authentic and delicious, topped with fresh cilantro and crema. I could easily eat more than I should! For takeout dinner, the prices range from $10 to $20 per person. Overall, I would rate the food a 4 out of 5 and the service a 4 as well.

First and foremost, don’t judge a restaurant by its appearance. The exterior is quite modest and the interior lacks a strong ambiance, but I've discovered that these unpretentious places often serve excellent food. I ordered the tinga enchiladas, while my husband had the quesabirria. I was surprised to find they served it with green sauce instead of red, but it was still quite tasty. My husband seemed to enjoy his quesabirria, although he noted there was a lot of meat in it. The place strikes me as more of a take-out spot rather than a dining destination, and if you're in the mood for a margarita, you'll be disappointed as they don’t serve alcohol.

There are several better Mexican restaurants in the area. I used to visit this place often when I lived nearby, but, unfortunately, the quality of both the food and service seems to have declined. Rating: Food: 2, Service: 1, Atmosphere: 1.

As someone from Southern California, I've found that finding authentic Mexican food in Minnesota can be quite unpredictable. However, I tried the carnitas and pollo asado tacos here, and so far, they are the best tacos I've had in Minnesota. I would say they are just as good, if not better, than the street tacos I've enjoyed in San Diego.
