The Best Tacos in Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota | Eater Twin Cities

"Valerie’s Taqueria, a cozy spot just south of Eat Street, is a neighborhood favorite for fresh sopes, tamales, and, of course, tacos. The Aguirre family serves their tacos — from lengua to carnitas to Milanesa — street-style (onions and cilantro) or Norteño (with cheese, lettuce, and tomato). Try the cecina: thin-sliced, salt-cured skirt steak that’s lightly grilled. Save room for flan. Online orders are accepted for pickup." - Cinnamon Janzer

"Valerie’s Taqueria, a cozy spot just south of Eat Street, is a neighborhood favorite for fresh sopes, tamales, and tacos. The Aguirre family operates a carniceria next door to their taqueria, and the meat comes fresh and flavorful. Try the cecina tacos, heaped with thin-sliced, salt-cured skirt steak that’s lightly grilled; or the delectably fatte buche, made with stewed pork belly. Save room for churros and ice cream." - Eater Staff

My friends and I discovered this hidden gem while on the hunt for the best, most authentic street tacos in town, we’ve been hooked ever since. Every visit keeps us coming back for more. The food is consistently outstanding, the service is warm and attentive, and the experience never disappoints. Easily the best tacos we’ve ever had. I recommend this spot to everyone!

So my friend told me about this little unassuming taco joint, and I decided to try it. Omg, the food is on point! Tastes like homemade. The ladies were very sweet and enjoyable. I was nervous at first because it's tiny and dated, but the food is amazing, and the sauce they give you on the side is so good. Two tacos, a tamale and a drink, only cost me $12! You don't find these prices anymore. I'll be back and I'm bringing friends!

This place is absolute 🔥🔥🔥!!! The best tacos I have had in the twin cities. Do not be fooled by its modest appearance or limited seating. This places deserves waaay more love than just 4.5 stars. The meat is fresh from the carniceria next door and the tortillas are soft but hold to the last bite. 5 stars in my book!!! Also, the two sauces on the photo are worth the trip to Valerie’s. They sell them as well so just ask. You are welcome.

A bit of a hidden gem, seeing as it's not near the any of the main string of restaurants on Lake Street and it's easy to miss. Has one of the best sala verde I've tasted and all of their food tastes like Mexico.

I've been CRAVING tamales all week and this place satisfied my craving. The staff was very friendly and patient, with an easy to look through menu. I had the chicken and pork tamales and the meat was soft, flavorful, well seasoned and fell apart at the touch of a fork. The horchata was yummy and cold. I'll be back for seconds!!

Legitimate Mexican tacos! You know you are having a great taco when the tortilla has been heated in a little oil and the cook made your meat to order. Other places heat up premade meat, not here. Gracias!

This place is the epitome of a hidden gem. Everything I have had here is absolutely delicious, and the ladies that work here are so kind. I go in so often for tacos al pastor that they usually smile when I walk in and simply ask "tres o quatro"? Definitely the best tacos I've had in Minnesota.
