Pajarito - Saint Paul

Delicious Mexican cuisine and beverages in a stylish setting. I ordered the birria tacos, and they were fantastic—unlike anything I've tasted before. I also sampled my partner's carne asada, which was equally delightful. The only reason I'm giving four stars is that the service was a bit slow; my water was frequently empty, and I requested more chips but didn't receive them. Nevertheless, I would still recommend this place! It's a great spot!

Pajarito is located in a beautifully renovated space within a lively and diverse community that is undergoing a revitalization. West Seventh Street has seen many changes over the years, and it seems to be flourishing once again. Establishments like Pajarito are exactly what W. 7th St. needs. The restaurant was bustling on a weekday evening, but the service was excellent. We were seated promptly and received our drinks within 10 minutes. The beer selection is quite adequate, and...

Best Mexican food I?ve ever had! Cocktails were on point as well. The menu seemed authentic, and creative. I wish we could have tried everything. We had the salsa flight, elotes, NY strip, and the wood fire grilled chicken. Every bite of every course was delicious. The food was spicy which was amazing, but might not be for everyone. Our server Keely was genuinely friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Dine here ASAP!

This restaurant is located in a lovely corner spot, and I was eager to try it because of its Mexican cuisine. However, it felt more like a fusion restaurant. Overall, the food was good, and I would recommend it, although it was on the pricey side. The octopus had a texture that I found quite unusual. I usually enjoy octopus for its chewy consistency, but this particular dish was very mushy and lacked that desirable texture. While I didn't enjoy it personally, the flavors were still appealing. One thing to note is that there wasn't a kid's menu, so if your children don't eat the same dishes as you, it might be challenging. However, they did have other options.

I met two friends for dinner here, and everything we ordered was delicious. I started with the habanero cilantro margarita, which had an excellent flavor and a nice kick to it—definitely sp spicier than other habanero margaritas I've tried. We shared the brussel sprouts as both an appetizer and a side, and the portion was just right for the three of us. Each of us ordered two tacos, which was the perfect amount of food. We decided to share so we could try different varieties since you have to order two tacos of the same type. The birria tacos were a bit heavier since they're deep-fried, but incredibly flavorful. The chicken tinga was also fantastic. I have an avocado allergy, but the kitchen kindly put the avocado salsa on the side for those who wanted it. Even without the avocado, the tacos were still juicy and full of flavor!
