The mexican restaurants & tacos we send people to in Northeast Minneapolis. Part of our full mexican & tacos guide and the Northeast neighborhood guide.
A Northeast taco bar from chef Jami Olson. Fresh masa for the tortillas, a tight rotating menu, and a bar program that takes mezcal as seriously as the kitchen takes the al pastor. The kind of place you end up at on a random Wednesday and remember why you live here.
Daniel del Prado’s masa-forward Mexican restaurant in Northeast. Heirloom corn ground in-house, regional Mexican dishes treated with French-bistro precision, and a room that hits every photograph it has ever been in. Reservations move quickly.
Started as a stall in the Midtown Global Market and grew to a Northeast location. Sonoran-style flour tortillas, slow-cooked carnitas, and the kind of taco you order three of and immediately want a fourth.
A small Northeast restaurant doing Oaxacan tlayudas, mole negro, and the kind of regional Mexican that nobody else in the metro touches. The tlayuda is the size of a hubcap and exactly what you came for.
A Northeast institution focused on Yucatecan dishes you do not see elsewhere in the metro. Cochinita pibil, papadzules, salbutes. The horchata is made fresh and the whole place feels like a long quiet lunch even on a Tuesday.
