Reviews for El Original Mexican Grill Restaurant in Hastings, MN

Food is amazing and so authentic. I can't stop ordering/eating their octopus tostadas! Flavor is out of this world and the most... TENDER melt in your mouth octopus! (I need to know how they do it!) The rest of the family orders a number of different itemsand all as tasty/amazing as the next. Would give more than 5 stars if I could. Read more

The food was great and our server, Jaimie was fabulous! Definitely try their top shelf margaritas?

The food is always great. Nice and fresh. The The portions are perfect. The home made chips and salsa are so good

Be very careful on drink orders. They will upcharged for margaritas to a higher price mix without you asking. We asked for... regular but got golden instead and its way more expensive and no dought taste the same. No salsa refill as the bottle sat emptyduring dinner. Food is ok but we'll probably never go back. Way better Mexican choices around. Read more

I am going to give 2 stars because the place is really nice and has a lot of potential to be better. But I did not like the... food. I had Enchiladas Poblanas and it was really salty for my taste and the rice was salty as well. I try to eat because I wasreally hungry and we drove an hour to try this place. Also we had some ice cream and it was the fried ice cream and the onlything that didn?t taste bad was the ice cream but the rest was not great. The outside felt really hard. Hopefully the food getsbetter and they have better quality in the future. Read more

Always awesome! Super friendly staff and good food.

We got our food to-go, so didn't eat till we got home. We both got the Enchiladas Mexicanas. The food was fresh, fast, but too... salty. I didn't eat even half of my food. My bf ate most of his, even tho he said it was pretty salty for his taste too. Read more
