This restaurant has the BEST BURRITO I have found in Minnesota but it did not come cheap. The meals run about $10 for burritos and $15-$20 for more complicated things like Camarones a la Diabla.

I am a serious burrito hunter so that's what I always order. The veggie comes with corn, white northern beans, lettuce, tomatoes, rice, onions, cilantro, etc. just like any other veggie burrito but they must put a little crack cocaina in the recipe for the beans because they seriously get me high in my tummy.

If I could fill up a jacuzzi with these beans and swim in them all day long I would. If I could pour these beans down my pants and walk around in them all day long I would. If I could snort these beans through a rolled-up $20 bill, I would! I think you are getting the picture.

The burrito comes with shoestring french fries. Minnesota Latinos must be taking cues from Del Taco but if anybody says french fries and burritos dont go well together they're obviously brain damaged. It's a union as glorious as Britney & K-Fed: dysfunctional yet full of excitement.

Aside from food, you might want to come here for the scenery alone. If you like the Latinos, you will never see so many fine looking Nortenos packed into one place in your life, not even in Ciudad Juarez. This restaurant has a monopoly on hot Mexican cowboys in tight jeans and ostrich boots. Even if you dont lust after their vaqueros, you still might enjoy having a meal amongst them. Practice your Spanish at least! The servers speak broken English but if you are willing to try your best, so are they.  

This is the type of authentic Mexican restaurant that Minnesotans always say they WANT to find but in the end they run in fear to Chipotle. Do you have the cojones to eat here?

P.S. They have all kinds of Mexican beer and they sell a bucket (yep) of Coronas for pretty cheap. Helps to cool off your mouth after slathering your food with green Yucateco hot sauce.
