Always one of my favorite places to have relatively upscale Mexican food, and on Valentine’s Day, they even had a few additional items to order, so my partner and I tried 2 out of the 3 dishes offered that day and both were incredible. I tried a few different types of tacos from what I would usually order and they tasted very good.
Previously I have tried the birria tacos, and I loved them. I believe that I talked about it when I wrote my review for the Saint Paul location. The alambre tacos had a good balance of crispiness and softness in terms of texture due to the cheese (crispy), and had beef and bacon included, which essentially made them a meat lover’s heaven. The shrimp tacos were just as good as how I remembered it, that the honey-chipotle aioli worked magically well with crispy fried shrimp. I also tried the Valentine’s Day item called Papa A La Huancaína Empanadas, and the red chimichurri sauce on the top gave the empanadas additional savory flavor that went very well with the mixture inside. I also ordered the octopus this time, which honestly was a catch for $20 because lime aioli, white beans, and peanut salsa macha are three ingredients I wouldn’t have thought of to be added with the octopus, but worked so well to provide four distinct kinds of flavors and textures. The entire culinary experience with this dish was just amazing. I didn’t have as much of an impression on the shrimp ceviche, but the fact that it existed at all, I appreciated it, because it provided a contrast from the other dishes in terms of taste, warmth, and overall vibe.
The chimichanga dulce was essentially a strawberry cheesecake in rolled format which was innovative and tasty. Turning a crepe looking item into a filling sweet dessert was something I fully supported. The key lime cheesecake was great in a conventional manner, with the brown butter graham cracker adding both extra flavor and texture on the top rather than the bottom of the cheesecake. For $9 each, they were easily worth trying and enjoying.
I thoroughly enjoy the fact that this establishment continues to thrive within Edina (and Saint Paul) and I think it does a very good job providing high quality food for a relatively reasonable price. Coming here on Valentine’s Day was a blessing because this spot wasn’t even fully booked when I looked up places to reserve, and yet it was an amazing time and experience for my partner and me.

We enjoyed an excellent dinner at Pajarito in Edina. We went on a Sunday evening and had a great experience. The flight of salsa was excellent. The salsas do not carry as much spicy heat as expected, but did have good flavor. The chips were excellent. The Caesar salad was very good. The quest fundido was thick and perfectly melty with a flavorful chorizo. The flour tortillas were good, but not great. The carne asada was very well prepared with an exceptional sauce base and grilled vegetables. Lastly, the Burris taco was good, but a little too much cheese and thus the texture suffered. A very good dinner and very reasonably priced.

The place was good, and fun place. We went this christmas season. To be honest it felt a bit over hyped and over priced. The jingle bar was bit messy as well.
Food taste was Ok and drinks options was not a lot. The parking is an issue.
May be due to christmas time, will try during normal time again. Good luck.

Pajarito was recommended to try and we finally tired it during restaurant week. We dined for lunch and really enjoyed our food. The guac was really fresh and flavorful. The queso fundido was delicious and served with flour tortillas. I tried the crab ceviche which was served cold, unexpected but good! Our tacos were generous portions and filling. Pork carnitas were delicious and flavorful with dipping sauce. The shrimp was also very yummy. Glad we finally gave this restaurant a try. Would return!

This is an amazing place to get drinks and dessert before seeing a movie across at the Edina Theater! Full bar and good food on top of the awesome friendly service! (Props to Rosa, our awesome server!).
It’s a great place for a casual get together or if flying solo, just get a seat at the bar.
Worth a try if you’re in the 50th and France area!

The burrito and gazpacho was delicious! The burrito was surprising good and didn’t have beans or rice in it. The atmosphere is really comfortable, the wall art is really cute, and the bathroom was nice too. I totally recommend checking this restaurant out!

Date night with my wife. I recommend the mushrooms as a side dish.
Plenty of ramp parking on same city block or across thee street and a short walk. There is a bar. The chicken tacos were bomb. House wine on happy hour for 7 dollars!

Starting with the positives: the food we did get was fantastic. We ordered a side of yuca fries which was a sizable portion. It also didn’t have any cilantro which is a rare find for my partner with the genetic soap taste he has with cilantro. I got the Quesobirria tacos (after my first attempt at ordering was not available) which were very good. My partner got the Cuban which was a bit too spicy for me but he loved it.
Onto the not great: the atmosphere was loud and it was tough to hear even just across from my partner.
The bad: the service was pretty atrocious. We came at 5:45 for happy hour but when my partner ordered his drink, the server returned with it after happy hour had ended so he was no longer able to order from that menu. It felt a bit intentional. Then, I ordered the Al Pastor from tacos and about five minutes later was told by my manager that server that he was just informed it was not available. I then ordered the birria which came quickly. My partner’s food though took ten minutes after mine to arrive.
Overall, not impressed. If we ate there again, I’d make it a to go order.

Great take on Mexican cuisine, especially for a fancier night out.
Went here for MPLS restaurant week, and they did not disappoint. We went with chips to start. They have such a variety of salsas, there’s one for everybody. Next were shrimp tacos which were surprisingly filling, and finally the beef ribs which were some of the best ribs I’d had. The meat was tender and juicy, and the seasoning and char was a great combination.
Good flavors, good spot!

Both the service and the food here were 10000/10. We showed up last minute on Valentine’s Day without a reservation and they were able to squeeze us in, but fairly warned us they would need our table at the end of the hour for a large party, which was absolutely fine with us. The end of the hour came and we were still finishing our meal, so they asked if we could simply move to a booth nearby. The manager on duty (I regret not getting her name), was beyond sweet about it and was extremely apologetic to the point where she went out of her way to keep checking in on us and even comping a dessert. The guac was some of the best I’ve ever had as well as the chicken tacos, we will certainly be back!
