"The four alarm fire that destroyed the shop was reported, just days after the devastating closures, at 5 pm on Sunday March 22. The blaze began in a building that housed El Taco Riendo as well as apartments upstairs, quickly spread into neighboring buildings. El Taco Riendo set up a Go Fund Me for employees, while continuing to operate its Crystal location." - Joy Summers

I was craving street tacos but didn’t want to drive far to my usual spots. Glad I decided to give this place a try (about a week ago) because I’ve now found my new go-to local taco spot. The flavors were just right, and the convenience makes it even better. If you're looking for delicious street tacos close to home, this place is definitely worth a visit! Ordered: - 3 (Street/Mexican) Tacos

Edit: Last dozen or so visits have all been good, customer service and food have all been great. My wife and I are convinced they have the best Hispanic food. The location is going down hill fast. Staff is disrespectful/ just flat out rude. Food is very inconsistent, one visit it's looks amazing, next visit looks like you ordered off a kids menu. Asked for a refund, got half my money back. Asked again got another partial refund, then yet again. Only took asking 3 times to get a full refund. I would just not waste your time, these folks just don't kare what garbage goes in the bag after they got your money.

I was one of the first customers in the new restaurant, food was delicious and fresh! Love the spice, and service. Since it is super close to my place I come all the time, the spice level has gone down, feel like the seasoning is less! Please don’t change!! I need an authentic taco place in robbinsdale! Took one star off because of it...

The food is just absolutely amazing! 🤤 While I had my food one customer couldn't stop taking about how good his meal was, he ordered a 2nd meal to go because he loved it so much. My burrito 🌯 was huge, very tasty, made quickly, and very affordable. The ingredients tasted fresh. It is in a stech part of town, but that's how you know the food is good! This is what they mean by "it's worth dying for." I certainly would come back. Well done 👍✅

Second time eating here. I do agree sometimes the taste or ingredients are hit or miss but for the most part the food is tasty. My friend had the giant burrito and I had the Al pastor tacos with an elote. The pastor and Elote was pretty good. The rice could’ve been better. It didn’t seem like it had much seasoning. I did notice that this place gets a lot of orders going out so service can be spotty.

Perfect little taco spot! Very friendly and delicious. The tortas are excellent and taco dorados are crispy and amazing! The elote is spicy!

Really great food, reasonable prices for the servings they give you, (which are HUGE!) guacamole comes automatically with the chimichanga for no extra charge and the Pico de gallo was very flavorful. The bathrooms are definitely a bit of a creepy walk down a sketchy hallway with flickering lights but otherwise awesome place!
