I got the breakfast burrito and added crispy cheese... it's probably the best breakfast burrito I've ever had. It's also MASSIVE. I ate half and was very full... so I waited an hour and then ate the other half. Now I'm plain old stuffed. I also got a horchata cold brew... likewise, this may be my new favorite cold brew now. I thought it might be a bit too sweet initially but that thought quickly disappeared. Delicious with great depth of flavor. I will definitely be back to eat inside with friends soon. Lots of booths! Plenty of parking outside as well.

Looooooved my visit to Vivir! I spent half a day here and honestly I could've stayed longer. The…read moreenergy of this space is just that good! First off, plenty of private on-site parking, which is always a win in the city. Inside, the space is stunning. Large windows line most of the walls, flooding the café with warm, natural light. There's an impressive variety of seating depending on your vibe--couches, high-top tables, standard tables, bar-style seating facing the gorgeous large windows, and even solo setups if you're craving true alone time. Thoughtful and inviting in every way. The service was equally lovely. Monroe, the barista who helped me, made a spectacular Iced Brown Sugar Honey Latte--so good I ordered a second after I finished my first one. He was happy to answer all of my questions about the bakery items, breakfast offerings, and the horchata lattes that caught my eye. I ultimately went with the Chicken Chilaquiles, and wow... that was absolutely the right move. The dish featured warm, juicy chunks of chicken breast over crispy fried tortilla chips, topped with fried eggs, sliced avocado, beets, cotija cheese, and tomatillo sauce. The sauce wasn't spicy, but had just enough gentle heat to balance the tanginess of the green tomato beautifully. I also appreciated that the chips weren't overly drenched, allowing each ingredient to shine. Crunchy, flavorful, satisfying, and filling--everything you want in a breakfast. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the apple empanada. It may have been a one-off, but mine didn't quite hit the mark. Flavor-wise, it was good and accurately described as a slice of fried apple pie. Where it fell short for me was the filling-to-dough ratio. The filling was very minimal and almost paste-like, likely due to being reheated rather than baked fresh that day. I would've loved a filling with chunks of apples or simply more filling overall. Overall, the morning/afternoon I spent here brought me so much joy. I loved that there was no time limit--I was able to get a ton of work done while sipping delicious coffee, enjoying a slow, satisfying breakfast, and soaking in the sunshine. Vivir is a space that truly works for so many occasions: solo time, catching up with friends, family visits, or settling in for a few hours. I'll happily be returning whenever I'm in NE Minneapolis.

I got the quesabirria tacos with consome and the meat was delicious with a lot of flavor. My boyfriend got the Al pastor alambre which was full of flavor. We both got elote which hit the spot per usual. To end the meal we each got a churro, super soft in the inside. Inside was a cute ambiance with a full house of customers, which is always a good thing. The service was efficient as we ordered to go and it was ready as soon as we got there. We will definitely be back as it's so close to the house and the food was amazing.

The place recently remodeled to add a bunch more space for the restaurant and it feels much more open. The staff has always been great and, if able, are happy to speak english. It definitely helps if you know the basics, though since it's 99% a spanish-speaking joint. The pastries are always flavorful and fresh. I love their orange blossom and anise sesame buns, pan de feria, and conchas. The chicharrones are always on the deli counter and you grab your own with some tongs. Tons of meat on them and a few minutes in the air fryer make the meat tender and the skin crispy. Haven't tried their hot bar or restaurant yet but I hope to soon.

The staff was friendly enough and the food came out in a timely manner, but I was a little disappointed with the quality. I ordered a couple of carnitas tacos with rice and beans to go. The rice and beans were great, but the meat...now I like it a little crispy, but this was more like it was scraped from the bottom of the pan. The meat was really greasy, burnt, and there was a large bone in one of the tacos. Like I said, perhaps it was an off day, but it was a little off putting. Maybe I'd try again if I'm in the area.

They have all day breakfast, many Columbian dishes, and lots of vegetarian options. I got Giovanni's Breakfast Wrap and it was so good. Love that it comes with vegetarian sausage without an up-charge! It also lasted me two meals, which was awesome. I am so excited to go back and try more of the menu! So much to choose from!!

We stopped by for take out late lunch/early dinner. We ate about 30 minutes after picking it up. They have a full menu, but we ordered the Salvadoran version of dim sum. Many little bites so that we could try many things. Empanadas with different fillings. Paposas likewise. Bread and chicken sandwich, think Torta like, to cut up and share. And real, not from a mix, horchata and Tamarindo. Worth a stop just for that. Service was fine. Staff had a good handle on English and was friendly. Without a doubt, a return visit is called for

I asked for lids for the condiments and she gave them to me with her bare fingers-hands on the inside of the lids. Needless to say I won't return based on how cold and unprofessional she was.

I'll preface this with the fact that I'm not a fan of tex-mex, strip mall style joints. That said,…read moreLa Tapatia was a great experience. The atmosphere was trying to be trendy with the neon signs, rustic-chic, exposed duct aesthetic. The server was amazing. Incredibly friendly and helpful with questions that our group had. The food was also way better than I feared it might be. I appreciated the build-your-own option for a lot of the dishes. I got a large salad with grilled shrimp and it was pretty good. The shrimp was flavorful and the salad bright. I used some of the cilantro salsa that came with the chips as dressing and it was great. It happened to be my birthday and they brought out some churros as a treat, which was really nice. The churros, however, were pretty bad. Super dense and chewy. The service definitely added an extra star and that waiter (I didn't get her name) should get some recognition. I would put this in the "group pleasing", "work happy hour" bucket of restaurants. I would never suggest but definitely wouldn't be upset if the group chose here.
