One of the best birria tacos I’ve had here in the cities. I can normally eat 5-6 street tacos depending on how big they are, but I could barley finish 2 of their tacos. They were stuff with meat!! The stew was super flavorful! If you like spicy make sure you ask for their special ghost pepper sauce. ...

Best tacos I've ever had!!! The building is small and unassuming, but the food is an absolute punch in the mouth of flavor. Ordered the birria tacos and they were just dripping with succulent juices. The staff is friendly and the service prompt. Well worth a visit and so glad it's close to home

This is the BEST authentic Mexican food in the Twin Cities. I've been spoiled by a family friend who owns a restaurant in my hometown. It was so hard to find a place that compared to her home cooking. Until I found Homi. They really do everything right. Everything I've ordered there has been delicious and well-made. I've never had a complaint after ordering take out from there for years. Highly recommend the pork tamales and the traditional tacos with beef tongue.

We came in for a weekday lunch and ordered the barria tacos. We also ordered enchilada but didn't take a picture. Their barria consome was flavorful and the portion size of the tacos were super, compared to other places I've had. Their customer service could be more attentive because there was a Hispanic couple that came after us but were served before me and my husband.

The BEST barilla tacos. They were huge and filling unlike other places I’ve been to. I highly recommend this place. The food is definitely home cooked

The birria taco was one of the best tacos I’ve ever had. The home made fried tortilla was crispy and the melted cheese in between created a nice contrast. The texture and flavor of the beef was amazing. There were 6 of us and we started off with chips and guoc and most of us ordered tacos. A few of us ordered the elotes. We all loved the food. Like a lot of reviews, I really appreciated the portions. I could only eat 2 out of the 3 tacos. My wife had tostadas. We have more than enough leftovers for lunch tomorrow. We’ll definitely be telling our friends about Homi and making this a regular spot.
