Literally just ate there. Unfortunately for them, since we are big fans of Mexican food, we will not be back. Sat down, kind of a divey hole in the wall feel, no big deal - thats usually how some of the best places are. The music was chipper, right volume, okay - great. Took maybe 10 minutes before we got to talk to the waitress and there were only maybe 4 other tables, half already had their food. We didnt know you just help yourself to salsa and chips. Chip disposable bowls are super small....its awkward. Salsa wasnt cold so Im a little worried about it being fresh/not spoiled. Ordered three taco combo. Our food took maybe 15 min to come out, again still not many folks there. Husband got a tamale with his two taco combo. They gave the wrong type of tamale to him (brought pork, ordered chicken). It was the worst tamale we ever had. Super dry, corn was like powdered....clearly microwaved and microwaved too much. You know how it is when you over microwave and the meat gets hard...that. So we asked her for the chicken one instead when she came over 10 minutes later. The rice and beans were a little cold....super bland. Thats sort of OK since they had a salsa bar which wasnt bad....I like the toro sauce. The tacos were good, nothing special. Very small, not a ton of meat, but tasty and the onions and cilantro were super fresh so that was nice. I liked the carnitas the best as the chorizo just was too greasy even for Mexican food and the lengua was just OK. The waitress forgot about our tamale so we waited, and waited. I felt bad for her because I saw her sort of going back and forth with the kitchen, he was clearly messing things up tonight. She realized she forgot when we decided to just get up and pay instead of waiting more. She felt bad and only charged us for my meal, which was nice. Tl:dr; Food nothing special, service pretty bad, tamales terrible tacos OK. Pass.

Well since 0 stars were not an option I had to give them 1. Drove all the way from Mankato for a fish taco and a chicken quesadilla. What I received is something I could have made from home in the microwave oven with ingredients from walmart, minus the waitress texting on her phone the entire time. The fish tacos were served on a tortilla the size of the bottom of a popcan, I thought it was a joke. I had no idea tortillas of that caliber even existed. The chicken quesadilla tasted like it was microwaved on defrost function because the cheese wasnt even sorta melted. At the time of checkout, both items I had ordered costed $1.25 more than listed in the menu. I forgot to mention every single table was dirty, the waitress wiped the table off before I sat down, instead of cleaning the others she sat on the phone. I actually had to go up and ask for a refill, hard to believe when I was the only one even dining there the entire visit. Will not be returning.

I first visited Las Teresitas when the offered a really good Groupon deal and was impressed from the start. The service is excellent, and though the atmosphere is a little lacking, the food is tasty and filling and clearly cooked lovingly. Because of their $1/taco deal every Tuesday, I recently began a monthly tradition with several friends, Taco Tuesday, visiting the restaurant every four weeks or so to take advantage of this great deal. Sure, the tacos are little, but they come in a variety of different meats. Of course, being a vegetarian, I had only the the veggie taco to look forward to, but look forward to it I do: its past brimming with lettuce and guacamole and cilantro, onions, and more. Delicious. Ill be there every month.

My son and I went on a Wednesday afternoon around 2pm. Service was fast and friendly. The salsa bar was interesting. I didnt really care for the chips. They tasted burnt. There were probably about 12 different salsas. Everyone I chose was delicious. I ordered 2 beef tacos and my son ordered a serene and jalapeño pepper burrito. My tacos were quite small. Next time I will probably order 4. They were pretty good. A little too much grease. My sons burrito was amazing! It was a huge portion. I was very hot, but not so hot you lost flavor. It was delicious. I will definitely eat here again.

I ordered a combo meal to go, which included a chicken tamale. When I got home and cut into the tamale there was NO chicken (or any meat) in it. The whole thing was just a packed bunch of the outer corn breading (yuck). I also ordered rice and beans, which the combo meal is supposed to come with so it wasnt like its a special order. They forgot the beans too. I gave them a 2 star only because the guacamole was good and the servers were friendly. Overall, if the food is really good at a restaurant Ill try and look past the décor but in this case, both were lacking. Very disappointing!!

I have been here a few times and taken carry-out. Tacos are WONDERFUL, as is the salsa bar. Customer service - not so much. They always seem to be out of something - once it was fried ice cream, most recently the peppers and onions for fajitas. I bought a Groupon and the waitress said half of the menu didnt count - even though that wasnt in the fine, but there is to one to argue with. They try to convince you to have water instead of a refill of soda. Wait staff is always rude - even when the place is empty.

NO salsa bar. chips were sitting in a bucket in the middle or the room with little crappy cups to gather them in. werent even close to being fresh. seats and table were not in a sound state... the salsa was.... mehhh. not my taste.. the green was my favorite. food was no where near as appetizing as the pictures on the website. This place set the bar for worst mexican ive ever had. Would rather go to Carlos Okellys.. pretty much feel lied to from what i saw on the website.

Eaten here three times, once via delivery. The food is a great value and very tasty. Ive stuck with the burritos thus far. For about $6.50 they are a great deal. Very fast kitchen and when you dine-in or pick-up you get to hit up their fantastic salsa bar. People are friendly and seem genuinely excited about their restaurant and customers. After three meals here I am convinced and working them into my take-out rotation.

No frills excellence. Never saw a salsa bar before and enjoyed it. Friendly, efficient service. My partner enjoyed the shrimp fajitas and I got to sample the Filete a la Veracruzana with unique combination of olives, chipotle, garlic, lime, tomato, onion and parsley. The tilapia portion was a bit on the small side, but the result was delicious. Even the beans tasted awesome. We will visit again when we can.

Worst Mexican Restaurant weve ever eaten. $1.89 tacos were in a tortilla 3 inches across with maybe a tsp of meat, and a little lettuce and cheese. The breading on the chilli relennois was soaked with grease. There was no salsa bar and we got some salsa brought to our table that none of us liked. Our bill was over $54 for 4 of us and that was with one of us only getting one $1.89 tiny taco.
