These places are our absolute essentials :)
This place is great because there are multiple food options all in one place. I strongly recommend stopping by la loma for the best tamales & champurrado. I personally love the green tamales but all of their options are delicious.

This place has really great birria! If you haven’t tried it- this is a great place to start. It’s kind of like a beef stew/consomé but with a hit of spice. It’s perfect for dipping quesadillas 🤤 This place is one of my go to lunch spots when I’m working from home. One of my go to’s when I don’t feel like cooking. Their steak burrito is awesome.

Our Dad loves this place because it is like eating at a “fondita” in Mexico. Amazing tortillas. I love the mole and guisados there.

Nataly and I both worked here as servers in 2013 and have loved it ever since. The chef and his family are great friends of ours and everything they make has amazing traditional Mexican flavor. Definitely recommend getting a shrimp and steak taco.

Hands down the best place for pho in Minneapolis. I’d recommend this before heading to the walker art center as there are limited options near there. The vermicelli bowls are sooo good!

The wings!! Our brother loves this dive bar so much. Cheap beer by the pitcher and meaty spicy wings. Every time he’s in town we head there to kick off the weekend.

Great place for a group outing or just a chill night with friends. A pitcher of beer is less than 10$. Always a good time!
