Tres Bandidos is a new fast casual spot on Snelling Ave just south of Shelby Ave, next door the Dunkin Donuts.
The folks working tonight were a mix of owners and staff. They were all super friendly and helpful. They offer a variety of options as to how to get the food to your face, for example – Quesadilla, 2 styles of Tacos, Burritos, Bowls, Plates or Sandwiches. They also have a selection of proteins to choose from – 3 preparations eqch of beef, pork and chicken. Variety is the name of the game!
I chose the sandwich, torta, with Birria beef. The bread was brushed with garlic butter, the beef and cheese and then toasted. Next came the choice of toppings. Again lots of options. I chose guacamole for $.99 up charge, cilantro, onions, sour cream and mild salsa. The result was a sandwich as big as my head. Thankfully an offer to slice it in halves was made.
In addition to the sandwich I ordered a med fountain drink and a piece of Tres Leches cake.
I ate in at one of the 5-6 small tables. The flavors were a bit mild and mellow. The whole combo was a bit too one texture for my liking and generous in size so there was a lot of it. Perhaps next time I will choose a burrito, quesadilla or tacos. I would also consider adding some fajita veggies and some pico de gallo.
I tried the Tres Leches, again a generous portion was served. This version came with a generous whipped topping with sprinkles and a cherry on top. The flavor was good, nice moisture level too. I found the topping a bit too heavy and tried some bites with the topping and that I found more to my liking.
Final thoughts – I will try this spot again with a different option like a burrito, with a protein with a bit more texture. I’d likely skip the soda as it seems a bit pricey at $3.99 for a medium glass, refills are free but perhaps $2.49 might be easier to swallow. The restaurant is clean, easy to follow the system and super nice staff. I’d suggest giving them a shot and welcome them to the neighborhood.

Got a carnitas plate with a toasted jalapeño and onion bulb plus a tamarind Agua fresca. Dude the total was 16 and sum change. Thats wild and the food was pretty good. This gonna be one of my new spots. Insides are bit small with some seating arrangements but with adequate parking.

Update: posting a photo of our tamale. This is what it looked like before we ate any of it… Half of what you see in the photo was all breading.
The two women working had the music BLARING, seemingly to keep people from eating in. Seriously louder than I’ve ever heard in a restaurant. We had to yell our entire order and couldn’t hear what the server was saying. We’ll try again because we’re so close, but this was a super strange experience.

Got our order home and half was missing. Called and there was a language barrier. The person went to find someone who I could speak with and that person took the phone from them and said, let them deal with DoorDash and hung up on me. Not once but 2x and then refused to answer the phone for 10 min.

Excellent new restaurant addition to the neighborhood. The staff is incredibly friendly. All the food is fresh and tastes amazing! The prices are great. The hours are incredible. The restaurant is super clean. Why would anyone in the area ever go to Chipotle or Qdoba ever again? Support your local Saint Paul businesses and enjoy a great meal. Tres Bandidos is the best!!!

What an awesome restaurant!
Delicious, affordable, generous portions, fresh ingredients, and friendly staff. It’s unbelievable and I’ve gone there 4 times in two weeks.
I love that they have grilled jalapenos and plantains for topping options.
Everything is so fresh and delicious.
I am surrounded by good Mexican restaurants in my neighborhood, but I drive here frequently even though I don’t live by it.
I love Tres Banditos and will be a loyal customer for years to come!

I rarely leave reviews, but when you stop by a shop for the first time in the neighborhood, and the staff is that friendly and the food so delicious, they deserve the shout out. My son and I both had the pastor, he a taco and I had the tortas. My kid got an extra one to go and asked when we were going back already. I love nothing more than a good tortas, and it absolutely satisfied my craving. I just let the most helpful gentleman pick my toppings and it was spot on.
I don’t want to spend too much time knocking the fast casual big chain spots nearby that serve similar foods, but my experiences there have been so poor recently in terms of cleanliness, quality, and service that the experience at Tres Bandidos was like night and day. It would stand alone without the comparison, but it’s noteworthy given the long lines elsewhere for a vastly inferior product.
Go support this place and welcome them to the neighborhood as generously as they welcomed me and my family.

The pastor bowl was quite tasty. It wasn’t as big as you’d get at that national counter-serve Mexican chain, but the flavors were great. The toppings were similar or adjacent enough but different — Spanish-style rice makes for a nice base, queso is included in the base price, etc. The staff was super friendly and helpful. I’ll definitely be back!
