1 Taqueria Hidalgo Yelp

Taqueria Hidalgo

Mexican · Burnsville · $

Taqueria Hidalgo holds down the counter end of Burnsville's Mexican lineup. No signature dish or vibe detail is on record here, but it sits in the same price tier as the neighborhood's other quick counters, a straightforward stop for tacos without the wait or the drink menu of the bigger rooms nearby.

2 Casa Maya Grill & Cafe - Don Chon Yelp

Casa Maya Grill & Cafe - Don Chon

Mexican · Burnsville

The Taco Chon, now folded into the Don Chon name, anchors this family-run room. Carne asada and chiles rellenos round out a menu that reads bigger printed in the restaurant than online. It handles groups of six or more without strain, and the family ownership shows in how the room runs, generous and unhurried.

3 Taqueria La Hacienda Yelp

Taqueria La Hacienda

Mexican · Burnsville · $$

Carne asada tacos and chiles rellenos come at counter-service prices at Taqueria La Hacienda, where the open kitchen line lets diners watch portions go into the tortilla. The menu runs short rather than broad. Service pace has drawn complaints during busier stretches, so this is a room for patience over speed.

4 El Super Taco Yelp

El Super Taco

Mexican · Burnsville · $$

El Super Taco built its following on a breakfast burrito and carne asada fries that read straight out of a San Diego taco shop. The salsa bar, green and habanero both singled out, is worth building a plate around. Tables don't always stay clean between rushes, but the regulars keep coming back anyway.

5 Los Grandes Mexican Restaurant Yelp

Los Grandes Mexican Restaurant

Mexican · Burnsville

Los Grandes trades on scale: a large dining room dressed for the season, ceviche and camarones a la diabla on the menu, and live music driving the crowd on weekend nights. The kitchen takes a back seat to the entertainment by most accounts, and drink prices run high for the suburb, so this is a night-out room first.

6 Los Agaves Mexican Restaurant Yelp

Los Agaves Mexican Restaurant

Mexican · Burnsville

Los Agaves keeps a casual, quick-bite pace built around tacos al pastor, nachos, and a chicken quesadilla plate substantial enough to split. Weekday specials, dollar al pastor tacos on Tuesdays among them, draw a lunch crowd. Fountain drinks are sold by the can rather than with refills, a detail worth knowing before ordering.

What to know before choosing a restaurant

The top picks: Taqueria Hidalgo, Casa Maya Grill & Cafe - Don Chon, and Taqueria La Hacienda, with all 6 rooms ranked below.

Burnsville's Mexican tables sit off Nicollet Avenue and County Road 42, family counters next to a couple of bigger dinner-and-drinks rooms. This lineup runs from the taco counter tier to the live music tier, all in one suburb, all worth naming by their own address rather than lumping into a generic strip.

Frequently asked

What is the best Mexican restaurant near me in Burnsville?
It depends on what the trip is for. Casa Maya Grill & Cafe - Don Chon and El Super Taco carry the strongest Insider Scores in this Burnsville lineup for straightforward, family-style Mexican cooking, while Los Grandes is the pick for a night out built around live music rather than the plate.

Which Burnsville Mexican restaurant is best for a family dinner?

Where can I get California-style Mexican food in Burnsville?
El Super Taco is the clearest match, with a breakfast burrito and carne asada fries that reviewers consistently compare to San Diego taco shops. Taqueria La Hacienda and Taqueria Hidalgo also run the counter-service format common to that style.
Is there a Mexican restaurant in Burnsville with live music?
Los Grandes Mexican Restaurant is the one built around that experience, with a large dining room and a bar scene that draws a weekend crowd. The Insider Score reflects that the kitchen is not the main draw there; it is priced and rated as a drinks-and-music room first.
