" Oh boy, what a delightful surprise Taqueria El Girasol was! I stumbled in during a road trip and ordered a selection of tacos. Each was outstanding, especially the tripe taco, which had just the right crunch and flavor. The atmosphere was a bit cramped yet cozy, just perfect for a local eatery. I appreciated their quick service despite being quite busy at lunchtime. If you want to taste authenticity in every bite, this is the place to be! " (*Curated Review*)

" Nothing like homemade tacos, and that’s exactly what you get from Taqueria El Girasol! Their tacos de birria are a must-try. Steeped in flavor and freshness, every bite is a delight! The prices are reasonable as well, considering the quality. I must say, the ambiance is on the cozier side but it feels welcoming. I’ve come back multiple times and take friends who are visiting just to show them how good authentic Mexican food can be. " (*Curated Review*)

" I must say, I have been on the hunt for authentic Mexican food ever since I moved to Minnesota, and finally, I think I've found my favorite spot! Taqueria El Girasol's tacos de lengua are a revelation; they're incredibly tender, paired perfectly with their homemade salsa. The staff was welcoming, and they really took their time explaining the menu to us. The ambiance is just right for a casual meal, although seating is limited. I'd recommend stopping by for takeout if the dining area is busy. Can't wait to visit again! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m not a frequent reviewer but felt compelled to share my experience. I love Mexican food and have tried a myriad of places, but Taqueria El Girasol stands out for its authenticity and taste! I ordered the birria tacos and was pleasantly surprised by the generous salsa on the side — the flavors paired beautifully. The staff was friendly but could have been a bit quicker on the service. Overall, it's great food, with room for improvement in the dining experience. I'll be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you love flavorful and authentic tacos, go to Taqueria El Girasol! Their portions are generous, and their horchata is incredible. My friends and I tried several taco varieties, and we were impressed by the freshness of the ingredients. However, they really need to work on their seating — it can be a bit cramped. Regardless, the food definitely makes up for any discomfort. I’ll certainly be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I absolutely love a good find, and this taqueria is one of them! I stumbled upon Taqueria El Girasol while looking for lunch near my office, and I couldn’t be happier. The flavors are spot on and remind me of my time in Mexico. The corn tortillas are handmade, and you can really taste the difference! I tried the el pastor tacos, and they were heavenly. We catered for a small office gathering as well, and everyone raved about how fresh everything tasted. I would definitely order from here again! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a wonderful experience at Taqueria El Girasol! The tacos de lengua were phenomenal, and I loved the fresh salsa that came with each order. The service was quick, but it was bustling inside with limited seating, so I opted for takeout. If you’re looking for authentic flavors and great value for your money, this is the spot. I will definitely be coming back! " (*Curated Review*)
