El Burrito Mercado
How could you not check out the taco scene at El Burrito Mercado, District del Sol's staple restaurant? The store, restaurant and catering company is a woman-owned, family-run business known across the Twin Cities' for serving up some of the best Mexican food—happy hour is the perfect time to stop by and try it out.
Boca Chica's Taco House
When you name your restaurant Taco House, you better serve some dang good tacos. Rest assured, the folks from Boca Chica are doing it right when it comes to this quick-serve taco spot right across the road from their more traditional restaurant.
Homi Restaurant
Frogtown has a lot of great food, but Homi is your place for some of the best homemade tacos, burritos, mole, and empanadas. If you find yourself along the Green Line at all, make sure you take some time to seek out some serious Mexican food.
Pajarito
West 7th's Pajarito does a lot of things well, and tacos are no exception. It can be hard to decide between tasty options like carnitas and shrimp, so you might as well just try them all.
Los Ocampo
The masa might steal the show at Los Ocampo, but we’ll take a fresh taco any day. There are multiple locations around the Twin Cities, but it’s easiest for most to stop along the Green Line at the University location for one of the metro’s favorite tacos.
Barrio Lowertown
Tacos and tequila make a great pair, and you’ll find that it’s especially great at Barrio. Known for its margarita selection, you’ll also find great tacos for lunch, happy hour and dinner in Lowertown.
Tiki Tim’s
Hunt down Tiki Tim's food truck when you have the chance—you’ll usually find it hanging around the Capitol, Mears Park or one of Saint Paul’s 11 breweries. We can’t decide whether we’re a bigger fan of the fish tacos or the jerk chicken tacos so, naturally, we recommend you try both.
Nico's Tacos
Minneapolis' favorite tacos have crossed the river. You can now get Nico's famous street tacos right here in Saint Paul's Como Park.
Taqueria Los Paisanos
Need another no-frills, all-flavor spot? Travel to the east side for Taqueria Los Paisanos. Make a day of it by visiting Swede Hollow Park and Saint Paul's Flat Earth Brewing while you’re in the area.
