    Soooooooo many options for Mexican food options on Lake Steet! Taco Taxi is one of my top choices. As someone from California, this meets my standard of what makes a good taco.
    One great perk about this places, it is open til 2am. Parking is a tad challenging. When you walk in you get the tacos smell and it makes you want to salivate instantly. I appreciate that Taco Taxi's menus are made simple as it's just the cuts of meat they sell and how do you want your meat. I only get the tacos here they are 2.25 per taco, which is okay. On the tacos it is two tortillas, meat, onion, and cilantro. My favor cuts to get is the carne asada and lengua. The carne asada is flavorful and the lengua is favorful as well as soft. They offer two types of salsas and personally the green sauce is my choice. I also get the horchata too which is a nice touch to the tacos. I usually eat one as they are fresh then eat the rest at home. Something to note that they have a credit card minimum, so have cash on hand to make it is easy.
    I love taco taxi! I will be coming back to get my taco fix!

    As much as I wanted to love this place ($1.75 for each taco!), I've had better tacos in the Twin Cities.

    1. Staff: incredibly friendly! You order at the counter and they call your name when your food is ready.
    2. Environment: small interior, few tables which can be cleaned better. No bathroom.
    3. Food: I had the pastor tacos and my friend had their vegetarian burrito. Food was average. Flavors were lacking in the burrito. The pastor tacos tasted good but not great.

    Overall, the price is unbeatable but the food could be better.

    Let me start by saying in know way am I the street taco guru.But...... I KNOW A GOOD TACO WHEN I SEE ONE. Hands down the best 2 bites on
    Lake street. Yes I said 2 bites, very small tacos. I believe each one is priced under $2.00 so grab 4. Nice staff, very fast service. A great south Minneapolis Gem.

    PRETTY, standard great mexican food! Simple yet the seasonings make a simple taco or burrito taste amazing. This is our go to taco place in Minneapolis. We are transplants from Los Angeles (we know good food), cant wait to come back!

    On a mission to find the best and most authentic tacos on lake street. Started here with Taco Taxi in the Kmart parking lot. No frills authentic Mexican street tacos on a taco truck. $1.75/taco. You have 4 choices--cabeza, carne asada, chicken, or pork. I chose the cabeza & asada. Plenty of meat in the little street food style corn tortilla but both were a bit dry. Came with cilantro, onion, & lemon slices (typically it's lime).
