    We are happy there is a new Mexican Restaurant where Pepito’s was! The food was very good but I was disappointed there weren’t any dinner combinations; e.g., tacos and enchiladas. You can order separately. Would love a few more options on the menu. They took out the booths so the dining room looks a bit sparse. Service was a bit slow and it wasn’t busy.

    I was pleasantly surprised with everything. I brought 5 of us for my oldest daughter' birthday. We made reservations and were seated promptly. The flow was efficient and the food was very authentic. The service staff were very gracious. Yes, we would definitely go back.

    Good was good, but the fajitas are just average. Get the Burrito Extravaganza. Server did not bring more tortillas when requested.

    Great place run by a great family. Excellent food and service. Glad that the old Pepitos is continuing to live on as a Mexican restaurant!

    We got seated in the bar, would have preferred the quieter dining room. Then the servers were confused about who had our table, so anything server #1 did was repeated/eavesdropped by server #2. Food was nothing to rush back for, and we probably won't be back. They seemed to want to get us out of there as fast as possible, the whole time felt very rushed and not relaxing at all. Seems like the excellent experience we had back in January has been wiped out by reverting to Pepito's recipes? We were not fans of Pepitos and initially liked this place a lot more but this most recent experience changed that.

    Had the spicy shrimp dinner. It was not very spicy but it was delicious. My husband had the chicken mole which he also enjoyed. We love El Burrito. So nice to have it in South Minneapolis so we don’t have to drive to St. Paul.
