Mi Ama Grocery

I visited Mi Ama Grocery though specifically, I visited their attached Eat-​In or Take-​Out Taqueria.
For those who are unfamiliar with the term, it’s a restaurant or stand specializing in Mexican dishes, as tacos and burritos.
On to the review!
It was quaint, and I ordered 4 tacos which became 5. They have a variety of dishes available with pictures and descriptions which makes oredring pretty easy (the hard part was deciding what to order first). ;)
I ended up staying true to form on this one, and ordering two beef barbacoa tacos, and two Tinga de Pollo pulled chicken tacos. I’m typically more of a beef guy, but
I MUST URGE YOU…
Order the Tinga de Pollo pulled Chicken Tacos!
At $ 1.99/each, they’re a tasty treat that leaves a nice tingle in your tastebuds! Not overly hot by any means. Just a great flavor with a smokey tingle of chipotle sauce.
These tacos are served authentic style in soft shell corn tacos. The pulled chicken is in a delicious smokey chipotle sauce (chipotle as in chipotle pepper NOT Chipotle the restaurant).
This is the real stuff. ;)
The barbacoa tacos were ok, not great. I should have just ordered 5 Tinga de Pollo’s because those were VERY tasty!
A friend said I should really go back and check out the grocery due to the variety of interesting food stuffs available there.
I probably will check out the grocery when I’m on my way to get more Tinga de Pollo chicken Tacos at Mi Ama! ;)

Small store. packed with lots of goods! I am delighted!!! Wish there was more variety in the breads… then again i did came in after 4pm

It’s part good. On taco Tuesday, tacos are only $ 1.00 each. The wait time varies. I waited 15 min for my tacos on my last visit. Meats are good, but I was left with an, «Oleo» grease taste in my mouth after I left. Really not good. Cheap food and a good value, but there are much better tacos around. I’ll give it another shot as one of my pals raves about this place.

Delicious! What a fantastic surprise. This review is one of those where I’m honestly torn if I should even write it, because I want to keep this secret for myself. Best burrito I’ve had in a long time. And SUCH good house salsa! I’ll definitely be back again and again and again and again…

Great tacos!!! We just returned from Cancun, Mexico and happened to pass by the restaurant on the way back from a game. Went in and were pleasantly surprised to find great food. Even Guy Fieri from the Food Network recommends it. It has a small private parking lot, and we were lucky to find a parking space.
The tacos were the best authentic tacos we had in the Twin Cities. The taste of our Mexican trip tacos had not quite worn off, so it was wonderful to taste something close to it.
We had tacos and veggie burrito. The veggie burrito is huge in size, probably enough for two people to share. Their sauces are really hot, and we loved that.

Best tamales!!! Tried midtown and other plsces. Did not think to try tamales here. Wow awsome. My wife even likes and she normally will not touch a tamale. It’s nice to have so close to my house but if you live far the tamales are worth a trip. I am a Mexican food fan but it’s got to be quality and this family knows quality. My favorite is jalapeño my wife likes the pork. Awsome with some green hot salsa and pico!!!

Decided to try out this place since Andale was on Triple D and packed. Pretty much the same formula… little market and restaurant connected together. I had the carne asada taco platter…3 tacos with rice and beans. You order at the window then they call out your number when it’s ready. The tacos were pretty flavorful… came with lime wedges, cilantro and onions. You could taste the seasonings on the meat. The rice was somewhat standard but the beans were some of the best I’ve had. To quote Ahnold… I’ll be back!

Just finished eating the Huarachazo with asada (thin steak) and it was delicious! I will definitely be back. I love little mom and pop shops. They add so much to the community. I hope this place is here to stay.

Found a large cooked bug in the food, very disgusting. Looked like a bean at first but last I checked beans don’t have legs.

Spiciest salsa I’ve found in Minnesota so far, which is a huge plus, but took way too long to make a burrito. It was decent, just slow service.

The food is phenomenal, and at a great price. Friendly staff as well. Specifically the alambres and tortas sandwich. Oh and taco Tuesday can’t be beat.

This place is the real deal. The Huaraches and Huarachazo are insanely large. We always share portions.
Here is how it works. You order at the counter — pick the type of presentation: Burrito, Taco, Huaraches and Huarachazo (which are open face like Tosadas), Gorditas, Burritos or Sopes. And then choose your meat: I highly recommend the Barbacoa and Al Pastor. They also have different types of prepared chicken, steak, carnitas (pork) or chorizo. The staff is super friendly and will assist you with any questions. The staff will prepare your delicious meal while you wait. You can dine in or take out. There are plenty of tables and you will not want to wait to drive home and eat. Everything is fresh and super yummy. Tip: If you want Tamales, you have to walk into the store to buy them from the cashier. I’m not sure why they aren’t available in the restaurant. Go visit and support local business. Mi Ama is a gem!

Me like good, decently priced Mexican food. This place is just right. Great menu selection for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Respectable vegetarian options, too. I had the ‘huevos rancheros’ and it was very nice. Ambience is okay, and except for plastic forks and/​or the fact that they don’t have any fish, I’d give it five stars.
