The Saguaro cactus, an iconic symbol of America's desert Southwest, grows naturally in only a small, specific part of the world spanning the border between Arizona and Mexico. It is the Saguaro's natural habitat from which we draw the inspiration for our cuisine.

Our Sonoran-influenced menu features fresh tacos, homemade salsas and a variety of sides and a la carte items. Fresh, flavorful, and steeped in tradition, our menu captures the best of Mexico's culinary heritage and marries it with American inventiveness and flair.

This place was pretty disappointing for a nice Sunday brunch. they were out of several ingredients so i couldn’t get any of the first couple drinks I requested, and when I finally got my drink is tasted entirely like sour mix. it’s pretty hard to mess up a margarita, but not for this place.
My waitress forgot about me for about 15 minutes before I ordered, and when I got my food it was was bland, lukewarm, and covered in oil. My dish arrived in a pool of its own grease, and was not plated with the mentality of being one of the more expensive items on the dish

The food was great (especially the steak in the steak & eggs). The service, however, was an unmitigated disaster from start to finish. It was as if the two servers and the manager had never worked in a restaurant. I'm not being overly judgemental; it was really bad. We might go back one more time to give them a second chance (everyone has bad days), but it's certainly no fun to feel frustrated through the whole experience and to receive a bill for your troubles at the end.

I LOVE this restaurant! We went there for brunch a few weeks ago and it was amazing so we went back tonight after work and had the dinner menu.. I can't believe how much I loved the carrot tacos! Yes, I am excited about carrot tacos they are that good! Wings were supurb... baked then grilled... not fried and you could tell! Service was top notch tonight! I can't wait to go back!

As someone who has lived in California and Arizona and have lived in Minneapolis a few years, I’ve been dying for a hand held authentic burrito. Little googling and I discovered this place right in my neighborhood.
Was going to get a breakfast burrito to go, was greeted instantly and decided I had enough time to eat it in the restaurant which was very comfortable.
This was a game changer for me. Finally a burrito I could hold in my hand that wasn’t the size of a football and covered in sauce. The soft scrambled eggs, bacon, cheese and other perfect ingredients were, well perfect!
So five

This place is a bit of hidden treasure. Never real busy when we go, but we have always had great food. We went for breakfast for the first time. VERY pleased. I hade the Biscuits and Chorizo Gravy and it was the BEST biscuits and gravy I have ever had. One minor issue was that food came out of the kitchen very slowly.

This is our favorite neighborhood eateries since moving into the area. So much so, we're there for real every Saturday that we're home. We love the staff, especially Christine and the awesome chef who's there creating new, interesting tacos. The happy hour menu can't be beat, and the tacos are fresh, innovative and delish. Our kids happily enjoy their time there, too (winner!).

I went in on Sunday 6/4 at 1:30 and it was not too busy. The waiter was rude, acted like he did not want to wait on me. When he delivered the eggs and English muffin, he just set it down and briskly walked away-not offering salt/pepper and the English muffin was not buttered, no jam. I had to ask another server for butter. He never asked how the food was, and only came back to set the bill firmly in front of me and kept walking past. The food was ok, but the experience was so bad, I won't be back. When I left a little change for a tip not deserved, he rudely said, "Thanks for the change!" I have

We had wonderful service ! The guac was super as well as nice presentation. I had taco salad with chicken, son had a chicken quesadilla & spouse had enchiladas--all very tasty. Did have to pay extra for chicken in salad & quesadilla. Then decided on dessert. Son chose churros & myself & spouse chose tres leches cakes- you get 2 so we easily could have shared an order!! Cakes were awesome. Very attentive wait staff. Will return.

This was the worst meal of my life. I had horrible service, disgusting, non-edible food, and a very sour margarita. If I could I would give this a 0. I ordered the fajitas and thinking would think the server would say they were spicy. I revived them and took my first bite and as someone who loves spice couldn’t even handle one bite. I was excited to try this neighborhood restaurant and am sad to say I will never go back.

I was disappointed with Saguaro, we were hoping for a very delicious meal and great drinks but found mediocre and very overpriced tacos and margaritas. ONLY GET THE CLASSIC margarita. The more expensive fancy one is not good and half the size as the classic. The taco platter was $15 and came with two tacos and two sides. The tacos were mediocre and the sides were chips and dip which at many places are complimentary. Ultimately for two people it ended up being a $100 bill that we felt was unearned.

Ate there at lunch for the first time. Food was decent and fresh tasting, but nothing special. Not a large variety of items on the lunch menu. We both had the same dish with different meat filling and different side dishes. Both versions lacked flavor and skimped on the meat with too much beans and rice. Hot sauce was necessary to add flavor. Guacamole was very good.

Good food, the flavors fusion is awesome. Very friendly staff. I would recommend the desserts, specially the FLAUTAS, that in México used to be a salty snack, here they turn it in something sweet and delicious, with a nice combination of goat cheese and red fruits sauce. The only thing, is the prices, I found it a little bit over priced.

Quite good overall: fresh salad, good tacos, good guacamole but... Everything that was supposed to be mild was too spicy for the others in my family. The staff's assurance "oh, not spicy at all" was off the mark and so our take out experience was disappointing. Would try again in the future and see if spice level could be adjusted down but they should know how to handle people who have low tolerance for spicy food.
