“Miss this place. Before covid it was 99 cent tacos on Tuesdays. Good stuff. After covid they raised their prices like everyone else (but also bought new huge TV screens to replace the cooler handwritten menu) but Tacos still tasty. Burritos too. Soda machine was broken a lot though.“
“Fabulous fresh produce, grilled meats, and crispy shells! The price is a little high, but I greatly appreciate that I get a healthy bowl or basket of food versus everything being deep-fried at nearly every other Mexican restaurant! My favorites is the spicy pork in a burrito bowl or crispy taco. Get a large container of guacamole for your meal -- so delish!They have ample seating in the back. The few booths have hardwood bench seats, but the tables have cushioned chairs, which my sensitive back appreciates.We arrived around 5pm and were able to place our order within 5 minutes; however, a line quickly formed out the door behind us. Arrive early, if possible!“
“Definitely check this place out! We've been here a couple of time, always in the winter for some reason, and have never been let down! The service from the hostess, to the servers, the bartenders and the manager Travis that checked in on us were all extremely friendly and accommodating as we had our 3 little ones with us. This bar/restaurant has a very cozy and warm feeling (I absolutely love being able to take my coat off and not freeze in a restaurant in Minnesota winters). There is an awesome wood burning fireplace that really adds to it's charm. If that's not enough there's a large selection of local artwork throughout each room.There's a huge outdoor patio for all your warmer weather dining needs and it is dog friendly! Rumor has it this summer they will be offering a doggy menu for possible "Yappy Hour"specials!Back to the food, it's amazing! The menu is the perfect size to offer a great variety without compromising quality and taste. We had the 100% Angus burgers that were cooked to perfection and served with perfectly seasoned fries. The buffalo wing appetizers were cooked to have a slightly crispy outside and juicy inside without being sloppy like other wing establishments. We didn't have the fajitas but saw and smelled multiple orders of them whiz by us and will definitely be back to try them.There are plenty of beers on tap and a full bar that will have anything you might have a taste for. I had a blood orange margarita and it was spot on! Coincidentally that happens to be the only picture I took of our meal.“
“This has become my favorite coffee shop. Run by a wonderful family. Excellent coffee and other beverages. The spicy Mexican hot chocolate is terrific. I also enjoy the latte and the cappuccino. Baked goods are divine - I especially love the oat bread and the banana bread. Although I have not sampled yet there are also breakfast and lunch items that I can see are popular. Compact seating area that is comfortable and the noise level moderate.“
