Description

Mexican fast food can get a bad rap, but there's nothing like a freshly made taco or burrito as a quick comfort meal. El Taco Riendo offers more than a dozen varieties of tacos (at $2.10 an order), along with burritos, tamales, chimichangas, and even a full plate of nachos. If you're looking for a more complete meal, combination plates include traditionally prepared beef, chicken, pork, or shrimp dishes along with rice, beans, and tortillas. ($8.50 to $12). If you're feeding a bigger group, you can get carry-out of meats, rice, and beans by the pound.

You can choose from a dozen types of meats--from popular carne asada, pastor, and carnitas to more exotic tongue and... More »

    I've been going to this place for two years and can't figure out why it hasn't been discovered. It is truly wonderful, the tacos are great but the burritos--carnitas my favorite--are the best I've had in the Twin Cities. Bravo for City Pages for finding this and rating it Numbero Uno.
