Overview

Tacos Locos in Minneapolis is a standout gem in the city's vibrant Mexican dining scene. Nestled at 314 15th Ave SE, this restaurant brings authentic flavors straight to the heart of the neighborhood, crafting dishes that honor tradition while inviting a modern palate.

The highlight here is undoubtedly the birria, particularly showcased through their Quesabirria tacos—crispy corn tortillas filled with tender, slow-cooked birria meat and melted Chihuahua cheese, accompanied by a rich consomé for dipping. It’s a masterful balance of texture and flavor that draws both locals and newcomers alike. Likewise, the Burrito Loco and Asada Fries offer hearty, satisfying portions perfect for anyone seeking comfort with a Mexican twist.

Another notable feature is the thoughtful variety of enchilada platters, from the diverse Enchiladas Supreme to the savory Enchiladas Rancheras, each plate presenting traditional ingredients like shredded pork, ranchero sauce, and fresh guacamole. The use of fresh produce — from ripe avocado in their guacamole to vibrant cilantro and jalapeños—adds brightness that complements the rich, savory profiles of the meats and cheeses.

The space itself feels welcoming and casual, enhanced by a toppings bar where diners can personalize their meals with salsa, radish slices, and crunchy cucumbers. This element not only enriches the dining experience but also reflects Tacos Locos’ commitment to freshness and customer involvement.

Whether stopping in for a quick, flavorful lunch or ordering delivery for a group, the service is consistently friendly and efficient—making it an excellent choice for working professionals, students, or families craving genuine Mexican flavors without fuss. The menu’s balance of traditional street tacos and fusion plates caters well to diverse tastes, positioning Tacos Locos as a reliable neighborhood favorite.

Customer praise underscores a shared sentiment: this is one of the best Mexican spots in Minneapolis. From the rich horchata to the indulgent tres leches cake, the attention to quality and authenticity shines through every dish. For those exploring the local culinary landscape or simply in search of a flavorful, well-prepared meal, Tacos Locos offers a vibrant taste of Mexico right at their doorstep.

I got the Quesabirria platter, Horchata, and tress leches cake, all amazing!! They have a toppings bar set up in the dining area so you can grab salsa or Radish and cucumbers for some extra crunch. Highly recommend trying the quesabirria tacos, they so such a good job with them.

Went here for the first time and ordered a burrito bowl - it was so large I was able to split it into 3 meals for myself. The food was flavorful, and the service was fast and friendly - totally possible to finish your meal within a 30-minute lunch break. Staff was very kind and restaurant was clean.

I moved to Dinkytown recently and have been trying every restaurant around. This is easily my favorite place I’ve tried so far. Everything I’ve tried has been good, and I hope they stay open for a long time.

Delicious food! They have a rewards program. Salsa verde isn’t spicy and the red one has a kick. I got the birria taco which was decent. I enjoyed my steak fries though! Rice and beans were very tasty too along with the horchata!

Been going here at least once a week for almost a year now, been trying the whole menu and have yet to find a single thing that isn’t amazing. Awesome food, extremely nice staff, and some of the best value for price in Dinky. Don’t sleep on the horchata either, got it once and now get it every time.

Stopped by to get take-out dinner and really appreciate how quick they were to make my order. The chicken was cooked fresh for my order, and the food was made quickly. I appreciate my burrito came with lettuce, guac, and sour cream for no additional charge. To top it off, I got a second burrito for free because someone didn't claim there order - very thankful! Will definitely be back - and way better than a chain.
