La Cucaracha primarily functions as a restaurant and is well known for its Mexican fare. Because of this, it is busiest from 6-9pm and then really winds down. Average entrée prices range from $8-14 (they’ve also won a few food awards). The décor is festively Hispanic and the music is typically Latino. There is plenty of seating and smoking is sectioned to bar only. In the bar, music is bartender’s choice and can vary from Latino to classic rock. It is lined with large wooden booths and 50 different styles of tequila, all reasonably priced (no more than $12 a shot). The crowd is mostly older, ranging from 25-40’s who come in for the food and pinball. Overall, La Cucaracha is a good restaurant and has a good happy hour, but if you are seeking active nightly entertainment, seek somewhere else.

mmm . . . margaritas. Need I say more?

Honestly not impressed, the guacamole was way too salty as was the dish I ordered, shredded beef tacos. Shared the 1/2 gallon margheritas; which was primarily margherita mix. The service was fine but based on the food, will not visit again.

This place is honestly the best local mexican food! It is reasonably priced, the margaritas and sangria are delicious, and the staff is very friendly!

Oh my friggin' lord- this place is amazing. I've been twice and the food has been great, service was good. first i order the "chicken ole-mole" it was great, sweet and spicy, such a comfort food, also ordered a picher of fresh-made sangria whick kicked!!! next time i ordered a custom made tostada/greek/chicken order with a side of their killer mole sauce and damn, they done it again, this time my datand i took in a nice bucket of beers which was not a bad price at all, negro modelo and pacifico's, we were evenable to mix and match the bucket o' beersss. i totally vouch for the roach, the best mexican in the twin cities yo. I HEART THE ROACH. and to all you roach haters.... ....please.
