This authentic Mexican restaurant is awesome! We arrived with a party of five and got fast, friendly service. The food was delicious, large in portion and authentic in the right way. It’s a small place but nicely decorated with Mexican day of the dead decorations, and again friendly.

Great taco place in Richfield. I had the chicken, steak, and carnitas tacos and all were excellent. Perfectly cooked and seasoned, and just the right amount of sauce and authentic toppings. The chili oil on the tables is awesome too. Plus the workers were super friendly.

Tried both the carnitas and carne asada tacos—both were delicious! The carnitas were on the oily side (I gave them a little squeeze to drain some off), but the flavor was really good. The salsas here are awesome— fresh and packed with flavor. And if you’re feeling brave, they’ve got a chile de árbol oil on the tables that brings some serious heat.
I also loved the tortillas—soft with just the right amount of chew. The chips were perfectly salted, too!

Heads up—the salsa that comes on the asada tacos has a sneaky little kick!

Will definitely be back!

This place is a gem. My wife and I stopped by here and had the pollo and carnitas tacos. The quality of the tacos and value were excellent. The music and dining area were great and the service was friendly and inviting as well. We can’t wait to come back regularly on our bus route. Thanks for the great time!

Cute neighborhood restaurant. The parking lot was full and a long line of folks were in line to order. But it moved quickly and tables emptied while we were in line. Service was polite and efficient.

The quesabirria were good but they and the tortilla chips could have used some salt. Also, I’m used to the taco shells being crispier. I’d like to come back to try the other tacos.

We went around 2pm. The food was made fast. The customer service was one of the best i recieved in a while. The cashier greeted immediately and handed the menu to us.

I asked which flavor of the aqua fresco was the best. She asked if I wanted to try it since everyone’s taste buds are different. I appreciated this because I would had ordered the hibiscus flavor instead I ordered the cucumber lime.

My sister and I ordered the steak tacos and Baja fish (with pickled red onions). This was easily the best tacos I ate in Twin Cities. Their hot sauces are ! Super favorful and the housemade tortillas were bomb.

Delicious food and great service! I’ve tried pretty much all of their tacos, and love every one of them. The Birria tacos are my new favorite. Last time I went I got the burrito. It costs a bit more than Chipotle, but the quality is so much better, and it comes with freshly made chips! Grateful to have El Taco Real in our neighborhood!

Amazing food. Cute little spot. Loaded with flavor. I tried a birria tostada and was blown away. The street corn was a must. The taste buds are dancing. Enjoy!

The carnitas tacos were absolutely fantastic, as was the street corn. Seriously, you must get the street corn! The aqua Jamaica is spectacular, there is a unique mix of spices that really brings it up a level. The service was great and chatting with the owner was both fun and educational. I know we’ll be heading back soon!

Unfortunately, El Taco Real was review bombed by what was admittedly a rough opening. A solid local restaurant that I personally enjoyed more than (gasp) I enjoy Andale. We went on a Sunday evening after giving them a chance to let their menu stabilize. The staff was friendly and as a bonus gesture, we watched them do a deep clean between services and the work they did was pristine.

The Good: The el pastor tacos were on point, as was the street corn. Both came with a ton of flavor and (contrary to other reviews) ample toppings. I will be back for the el pastor alone. I also really enjoyed their chicken tacos, which were uniquely smokey (and we were told were local to Cancun). The salsas were also well done and had both heat and taste. The agua frescas curiously stole the show. Both the Jamaica and the Cucumber were absolutely top-notch.

The Neutral: The churros were good, but we were divided on too much cinnamon or just enough. The price was high, but it’s not fair to take this one out on the restaurant. This is the nature of food these days and yes $5 a taco seems pricey to some, but honestly, welcome to 2025 and restaurant costs. I challenge anyone to go to Taco bell and get as good a meal for $15.

The Bad (though it’s not really): Their chips were very good (you could tell they were fresh tortillas) but were under seasoned. I hope they improve this or I’ll be unlikely to get them again.
