Pleasant atmosphere with live music. Friendly, prompt, and attentive service. Large menu. Our entrees were well prepared and tasty. If you want chips and salsa, you have to ask.

Open late! Who doesn’t love a good taco on the way home from Minneapolis to the ‘burbs? East Side is a great place to find good food, and we’re so proud Los Ocampo has continued to make the East Side of St. Paul its home. I go for tacos & beer, but the menu is extensive and authentic.

This place was good in all aspects. Waitress was patient and quick. The food was great and well seasoned. Atmosphere is a mixture of whatever you need it to be. It’s like the staff secretly observes your group and provides the services accordingly. That’s a great experience to have.

I brought my family here for lunch and waited several minutes to be seated. It was weird because the restaurant was almost empty (7 guests at three 3 tables). This location can seat over 30 guests easy. Two waiters continued to glance in my direction as well as the bartender. They took their sweet time seating me and my guests. The atmosphere was nice and the space was very clean. The food was good however I would not return here due to how long I had to wait to be seated.
Update 12-22-24. I decided to give this location a second chance. Unfortunately I received this the same treatment…my guests waited 11 minutes before leaving. It’s diabolical that human being are still being treated like its 1963 in MN.

So I’ve been going here and getting the Birria Tacos they’re my favorite. Recently I ordered through uber eats and I ordered the Birria tacos combo and tiramisu cake and 2 guacamole. I only got 1 guacamole and the tiramisu was dated July 19th and it was the 26th… that makes the cake 8 days or older because who knows when they actually got the cake I googled it and tiramisu cake only last about 3-4 days. I called them 2 days later to order again and ask if they can give me a new cake and guacamole for free (I have the receipt and pictures) the guy didn’t once say sorry he acted like I was making it up didn’t offer me anything I had to tell him I want a new cake and the guacamole I didn’t get several times and then he told me I needed to pay for my food over the phone I said no I’ll just come in I don’t want to give my information over the phone I was also in a uber so this was inconvenient i wanted the food ready when I get there and I told him that. (I was super nice this whole time) when I got there I had to repeat everything to another worker who went over and told his boss (the man I talked to on the phone) he came over and I had to repeat myself AGAIN not once but twice to him and again he didn’t apology once for the mistake didn’t offer to fix it NOTHING he just looked irritated and like he did t believe me even though I showed pictures and my 38$ receipt! Anyways theythey went in the back for a couple minutes which made me feel like okay what are they gunna do to my food then came out and gave me the cake and guacamole… without the Birria taco and soup I just asked the waiter for when I got there so I had to sit there order it again by this time my uber left and I had to wait another 6 minutes. I won’t ever go here again. BAD management. Nothing else matter when you can’t treat your customers with respect or have a smile on your face when a mistake is made and you need to fix it. They made me feel like I didn’t matter and I was a a bother to them they didn’t appreciate that I told them I order from them all the time and really like the food I just want what I paid for is all mistakes happen.

1st time that I’ve had bad service here. It started off good n just went down hill. I understand that next to our booth, there was a family, but our server just basically ignored us after she took our order. She didn’t come check if everything was good. Drank all our water and didn’t check to see if we needed refills. When I got her attention, mentioned that we wanted to order from the happy menu and also needed refills. 20 mins waiting. Finally got the refill after that. Never got the happy hour menu even tho I reminded her twice. Walked by our table and never looked our way, therefore could not even make eye contact to ask for anything. Finally got her attention and just asked for the check and box.
If I go back, I would not want her as a server.

Stopped in for an early lunch with my sister. Had never been here before. We were greeted immediately with a smile and brought to a booth, our drink orders were taken right away. Shortly after we ordered our food. The food came out relatively quickly for a nice sit-down restaurant.
I got a burrito, my sister got an alambre. My burrito was humongous. In fact it was one of the largest burritos I have ever seen. It was absolutely delicious. One of the best burritos I’ve ever eaten. It was large enough that I took half of it home. The alambre was delicious as well. Again very large portions. My sister took about half of it home and I tried a bite.
We finished with plantains for dessert. They were absolutely delicious. In fact they were the best plantains that I have ever tried.
Overall we had a great experience and l highly recommend this place to others. I know that I will be coming back.

We went during lunch and the place is nice. There was one server and it was slow on receiving our bill. The food was okay. I ordered the burrito with grilled steak and no beans. There was hardly any steak on my burrito. It was mostly rice and the lettuce. The burrito did not taste very good. Used the women’s restroom and totally gagged! It smelled of sewage and made me very sick! So disappointing. I will not be dining here again!

We came here on Valentine’s Day. The decorations for V-Day was cute and they hosted live music. The hostess greeted us right away and wait time to be seated was less than a minute.
The V-Day special strawberry margaritas were amazing. It was dangerous actually because it was so well balanced with sweetness of a fresh strawberry. Our other drinks were very cheap because it was happy hour. Hands down the best margarita I personally tasted.
I went with something different than usual and ordered Quesabirria with consome and added a side tamal. The food was perfect. I literally stuffed myself because the taste was on point. Our food arrived very quick as well.
Our server was happy, excellent and tipped 33%.

We stopped by Los Ocampo restaurant with my friends after the Oromo soccer game, and we really enjoyed the food and drinks. We are from Canada, and it was our first time at this restaurant. Our server was amazing, and we enjoyed the atmosphere.
