" I had the best time at El Burrito Mercado! The service is prompt, and the staff is knowledgeable about their menu. I tried the queso fundido, and it was spectacular! I went for my birthday, and the staff even made me feel special by acknowledging it—not something you’d expect at a regular eatery. The only downside was the lighting could be improved as it’s a little dark, but that didn't take away from the experience at all. Truly a gem in St. Paul. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at El Burrito Mercado was more than satisfying! I sampled various items, and every single one was authentic and delicious. The atmosphere was very family-oriented, but it's also great for a casual outing with friends. I tried the sopes and the pozole, which were both full of flavor! The service was decent, but they could be slightly more attentive. Still, I highly recommend this restaurant for Mexican food lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally got to try El Burrito Mercado after hearing so many great things, and I can say I'm a fan! The restaurant has an amazing assortment of dishes, and I particularly loved their nachos topped with guacamole and salsa. I also appreciated how friendly the staff was, taking the time to explain the menu options to me. The food came out quickly, but I did find it a touch pricier than I anticipated. All in all, it's a must-visit for anyone in the area who loves Mexican cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was underwhelmed by my experience at El Burrito Mercado. I ventured there eager to enjoy authentic tacos but found them just average. The staff was friendly but the wait for the food felt longer than expected. Despite the nice atmosphere, I think I might explore other Mexican eateries in the area that offer more authentic flavors. I’m willing to give it another try in the future, hoping it was just an off day. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Burrito Mercado has become my go-to spot for Mexican food in the Twin Cities! They have an impressive array of dishes, and I always come back for the tamales and the fresh salsas. My only complaint would be the occasional wait time during peak hours. The staff has always been friendly, and I appreciate how they explain the menu to newcomers. The prices are reasonable for the portions you receive. Highly recommend checking it out, especially the breakfast options! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're craving burritos, El Burrito Mercado will not disappoint! Their burritos are massive and full of flavors, encapsulating the Mexican spirit in every bite. I also had their tacos, which were delightful, but the burritos were definitively the highlight. The vibrant market scene just adds to the unique dining experience. Although I found the salsa a bit mild for my spice tolerance, overall, it was an enjoyable experience. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a hidden gem! El Burrito Mercado has everything you could want from a Mexican restaurant. The food's authenticity really shines through the quesadillas and birria tacos. My family was impressed by how fresh everything tasted. The salsas were vibrant and packed with flavor. It was really great to find such an inviting place to eat and shop all in one! The only setback was the line; it was a bit long during lunch hours. But considering how delicious the food is, it's absolutely worth any wait! " (*Curated Review*)
