Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

Boring burritos Enchiladas with no zing Out the door I go (I really WANTED to like this restaurant, but, alas, it was not meant to be. A disinterested wait-staff, mediocre food, and bizarre music selection ensured that I won't be going back to the ol' 'Village'. Note to the restaurant: I can overlook the fact that you chose to play pop music instead of the standard Mariachi music, but you DON'T need to have the darn music cranked at top volume! Oh, and Mexican food shouldn't have 'gravy' on it. Not recommended.)

My husband and I just moved to Grand Forks and decided to try this place when he was craving Mexican food. We would have been better off going to Taco Bell! He ordered an "enchilada" that looked more like a soggy taquito, and the refried beans that came with it were dry. From the looks of it they prepare a big batch and reheat it in the microwave, so it didn't look, or taste fresh at all. I ordered a beef taco in a soft shell without olive or tomatoes, which was basically, again, DRY, flavorless beef, in a soggy tortilla with melted cheese, surrounded by lettuce and shredded cheese on the plate. Very blegh, and now my hubby and I are both feeling gross as the food settles uneasily. Also, the salsa was so boring. It really didn't have any flavor AT ALL. Just watery tomato taste. The service could have been better too. The host who sat as was monotone and couldn't be bothered to pretend he wants to be there (I work in the food service, so I know its not that hard) and while our waitress was nice she wasn't very prompt, we probably sat for five minutes before she took our drink order, and I only think she checked on us one which means we had to wait longer than we should have for our check. The place was not busy enough to write this behavior off. Here's the thing, working in food service, I get it, and if I thin you did a decent job, you at least tried, I'll be nice and tip you and come back (if the food is good), you you do a teeny bit above average I will probably over tip you. But its a double edged sword, I know how this business should go, and this was a crappy restaurant. I wouldn't be surprised to see a deplorable kitchen. On that note, I'm sure stoners love this place when they're high.

For the price and convenience it's pretty good food. It's definitely not a traditional Mexican restaurant, more of a Norwegian style. They use gravies versus traditional toppings. It's a great place to eat if you're low on cash and need a bite to eat.

Food was decent, gravy for my daughters burrito smelled like cumin.. I guess adding that to powdered gravy mix makes it mexican.. Server was quick and on the ball. Then again it wasnt full and quarter to 6pm. Price was decent. Would show up again just not weekly!

As I am from Texas I can say that I know Mexican food pretty well. While it wasn't horrible, it wasn't good either. Salsa is the worst! Had a burrito, like I said it wasn't horrible just didn't have much flavor. Rice tastes like minute rice.

Edit- 10/17/14 Service was still quick, food was not bad. Beans were dry :/ But I still would go back. This place was delicious. I loved the decor and atmosphere. Their chips and salsa were yummy!! My food was delicious and the service was quick. Our waitress checked on us quite a few times but not to the point where it was annoying. The hostess was friendly and sweet and seated us quickly. The onnnnly thing I wish had been better is our waitress totally disappeared and we had to wait a while for anyone to collect payment after our check had been dropped off. I finally went to the front and had the hostess ring us up. Overall I had a great experience. Will definitely be back!

While this is NOT authentic, it is yummy. Order the chicken quesadilla. This is my absolute go to menu item.

Someone may of said it best when they say Mexican Village is an acquired taste. I haven't lived in the area for years, but every so often I'll be back and this is a must do for me. I'm guessing my first visit was in the late 60's (was downtown back then). I love their hot sauce - since it is different than all the other places. At our recent lunch visit (1st in 4 years) I found the food tasty as usual, and the lunch specials very reasonably priced. Based on the full house, it looked like others would agree.

Warning-there is nothing Mexican to be found on these walls. I was shocked to find gravy on my "enchiladas" after asking the waitress if they meant mole-type sauce when the said gravy in the menu description. It was gravy. Thanksgiving style gravy. Everything else was Old El Paso gringo style boring Anglo food. Horrible. Good service though. We were mercifully in and out very quickly. This is not Mexican food in any way, shape or form.

There's nothing Mexican about the food. It's more like Taco Bell but a restaurant. The food isn't bad but really has no strong flavor to it. I've eaten here a couple times thinking maybe it was just me but nope, every time there was really no flavor to anything. But I will say it's better than Paradiso so if you have to pick I'd go with Mexican Village.

This is by no means authentic Mexican food, but it's perfect for Grand Forks. They have taken Mexican food, and put a norwegian spin on it. I strongly recommend the burritos, but suggest you try one of the alternative gravies. You can get a spicier red, chicken pepper, or even queso instead of the standard brown (beef flavor) gravy. The quesadilla's are one of my favorite items on the menu, because they put a layer of jalapeño cheese dip on the bottom tortilla (which is crispy instead of just a plain flour tortilla). The food is always fresh and the service is quick. They serve hot sauce instead of salsa, which throws some people off, but it is done just right with freshly made chips. I think Mexican Village is an acquired taste for some, but will keep you coming back for more. The prices can't be beat either!

I can't believe there were so many people here! I ordered 3 chicken soft tacos. They consisted of what tasted like canned chicken in a tortilla, with cheddar melted over the outside (?!?!) of the taco. This forced you to cut through the rubbery tortilla and use a fork. There was a pile of lettuce and a couple of tomato chunks in the middle. My coworker was equally disappointed with his chimichanga, beans and rice. It all seemed dry and overcooked, like what you would see in a microwaved burrito. The chips taste stale to me an the salsa was watery tomato sauce with no real flavor. Service was ok, nothing special. Generic. Cheap. Flavorless. Not a good experience.
