I ate at El Taquito in West St. Paul a few weeks ago; I tried beef tongue for the first time, and it was pretty good. I've been to several places on Lake St. and I've liked them all in spite of being born and raised in Los Angeles where I frequented many Mom'n'Pop style Mexican restaurants on my lunch hour and I liked them all too, although I've never been to one here or there that had Mariachi musicians. I like Pineda Tacos in the Hi-Lake center (and W. St. Paul now) and apparently so do Mpls Police officers because I saw them the last few times I was there. I've also tried great places on Central in Northeast near Lowry. I've always been grateful that there were no Mariachis around though; the music and lyrics can be pretty depressing and there are better styles of music to eat to I think. I think if you're looking for Mariachis outside of a special event, you'd be better off checking out bars with entertainment where they might be drowning their sorrows, or hire yourself a group.
Hopefully, Michael will get some better and more informed responses, but I think the best thing for him to do is to take his walkman or ipod with recorded music to just about any of the places on Lake St. Bill Kahn salivating in Prospect Park REMINDERS: 1.
