The reviews from trip advisor brought me to this restaurant and didn't let me down. The steak burrito was seasoned well and came with fried onions topped with cheese and served with rice and beans. The taste was really good. chips and salsa before the meal great service and priced at 9.99. Will be back!

Who would've thought on a below zero day in February in the middle of Minnesota, we could....if only for a few hours....feel like we were in some little sea-side cantina (minus only the seaside part)!

I got a great deal from this restaurant by showing them the key of the motel I was staying at next door which really made my day. I also really enjoyed the food. It tasted authentic and I had never tasted good food such as this. I will definitely be coming here again!

Chile Renellos are fantastic and a little spicy (just the way I like them). The mole chicken was rather bland though. The chips and salsa that came with were very good as were the beans and rice.

Delicious fajitas for two. Portion large enough to feed 4 @ $20. Combination of pork, beef, chicken and shrimp in a very tasty sauce (not spicey). Service friendly and efficient. Decor a little funky, but you can't eat decor. Great value!!!

Definitely love the Catarino's molcajete it is pork, steak, chicken, shrimp and chorizo with a yummy sauce. Definitely enough for two. The restaurant treats everyone extremely well and it is very clean.
