Came here a couple weeks ago and absolutely loved it! Our whole table wound up ordering the Iconos breakfast and thought it was great. Everything was flavorful and the restaurant was beautifully decorated! Our server was very kind and on top of everything, as well. I will say, if you can't handle spice all too well, you might not want to try the chorizo. I love a bit of heat, but two of our tablemates struggled a bit. The hot sauce is house made and incredible, though! read more

Came here for the first time with friends to Cinco de Mayo, it was immediately poppin as soon as I got in, there was extremely loud music and a DJ, followed by a live mariachi band. The food was very good, they had a huge selection of options to include cocktails and food items. This was a super lively environment, it was really hard to hear each other talking (veryy, but if you're there for the vibes and good music, come here and support local! read more

Iconos is located around the corner of Lake and Lyn Ave where it's happening on the weekends. This was a Friday night that I attended to watch one of my friends to sing, alongside their local artist singer Amary preforming this evening. It's always a joyful event. They also have their DRAG Brunches on Sunday with DJ & live bands playing Depending on the time & day you come. read more

Stopped her for dinner before a show at the Jungle Theater. They are right next door to each other so one parking spot and a short walk. Loved the entry with all the red flowers and art on the walls. We had reservations and were seated in a booth immediately. The high tops along the window looked like a great spot as well. I started with the house margarita which was beautiful and tasty. I ordered the burrito bowl with carnitas. Really good. Everything looked and tasted fresh. Guac on top was great. Nice sized portion as well. Loved it. Husband had the chimichanga which was also good. We love chips and salsa so we ordered that as an appetizer and, well, snacked on the chips the whole meal. They went great with the bowl. Service was good. It was a little odd that my bowl came out several minutes before the chimi but, hey, if it's done and it's hot, bring it. Great experience. read more

I've been here a couple times and both have been amazing! Their "Despechados" (brokenhearted) night on Fridays is a trip down memory lane for anybody who grew up listening to Latin Pop (Rock en español), DJ Chino does a wonderful job mixing all genres. The food is great and the drinks are superb! The bartenders are very attentive. read more

A friend and I popped in to Iconos for a mid-afternoon drink & snack. We were seated immediately, which was nice; the restaurant is pretty cute, with fun neons & decor. It was pretty hot inside, it felt like they'd opened a window or 2, but it wasn't enough to cool the whole place. Service was excellent; we were checked in on by multiple people & our order came out really quickly. I got a house margarita, my friend got a mocktail, & we split an order of guacamole; the prices were kind of outrageous ($16 for guacamole, around $16 for a margarita). It did taste like the ingredients were fresh, but there was so much extra stuff on the guac that I would've preferred they just gave us the guac itself & none of the extras, for half the price. All in all, I wouldn't say I'd be back, but it's worth a try. read more

Stopped here while bar hopping in uptown for my birthday.it was happy hour and I was surprised they were pretty empty (but it was a weekday). I ordered a cute drink that had cotton candy on it called LA BICHOTA. The drink was good but a bit pricey overall. We ordered a quesadilla w/ chicken and it was just okay. The overall aesthetic of this place is cute. Another place to grab drinks and take pics. Not sure I would go back. read more

Ta bien! At first I thought how the heck are 3 carne asada tacos $28 that's crazy but once they came out and I tasted them I knew why. We ordered the trio flautas as well but if I go back I'm not doing anything but messing with those asada tacos. You can taste the grill char, the Smokey flavor and the tender well seasoned meat was impeccable. It was delicious! You have to add this to your date night must go tos. The decor was such a vibe, loved the art work and the dim lighting. Our service was great and everything came out fast mind you it was midday on a week day so I'm sure it gets busier nights and weekends. read more

Girls night at Iconos didn't disappoint! Parking can be found in the back lot which was reasonable and side street if you come upon it. Ambiance 5/5 Photo worthy ambiance with fluorescent red lighting upon entering. Latin themed décor, spacious place with tables, booths and plenty of bar space. Lots of big screens with sports and what not. Our bar mate had access to the remote, watched Planet of the apps with no captions. lol Service 5/5 Victor and staff was great, they were attentive, funny, and provided great suggestions. Food/ Drinks 5/5 Be warned: The pour is long on the drinks! Elotes came in pairs to my surprise and a side of tajin for my liking. Expect sharable portions, strong tasty drinks, great patrons, music, and great service! The bone marrow was interesting taste and my friend did have some stomach rumblings after eating the Shrimp Ceviche: she suspects it might've been raw shrimps. Outside of that, she had a great time. Elotes $14 | Shrimp Ceviche $18 | Carne Asada $28 Drinks: Prince $13 | Al Coco No $16 | Mangonada $15 Overall 5/5 We had a time! lol read more

The food was great! The queso was delicious and it was thick and gooey. The birria taco was good and the cheese pull was on point. The beef steak taco with the bone marrow was delicious. The fajita was amazing! I love that it comes in different kinds of meat so you can really make your own fajita. The service was good. We got a big water jug. The vibe within the restaurant was nice. It was loud but not too loud, so having a conversation is still good. read more

Iconos Gastro Cantina - Mexican Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Went here for my post wedding dinner with friends and genuinely enjoyed the food (big portions for me personally) and vibes. They had live music (violinist) with bumping music and they aren't shy with the sparklers for drinks/food that we kept seeing from other people's orders. I was able to find some street parking a few streets over and would definitely recommend this place if you want to have good vibes. I will say it's a bit hard to converse with your friends if you have a larger party as the music is really loud but still enjoyed ourselves for the most part. read more

First time at Iconos and the spot is very cool! Definitely gives instagramable and vibey but the food was also really good. We ordered the queso fundido to start and they even brought more chips for us to share. I got the chimichanga and it was huge! I have never had rice inside a chimi before but it was SO good. Th only reason I am giving 4 stars is because for the price of the drinks they should be bigger in my opinion. But the drinks are also REALLY good. read more

I am SHOCKED that this place doesn't have 7,000 five-star reviews. I cannot imagine a world in which someone eats here and doesn't give it five stars. I came here with three of my friends and all of us were mesmerized by how good the food was. So much so, that we would've gatekept it completely if it weren't for me and my little Yelp reviews! We ended up here on our way to a different cantina, but decided to stay because we liked the vibe. It was late, and they had the right mood lighting. We also figured that we couldn't go wrong with a cantina of any type. Turns out we were right. I ordered a Prince Margarita and "The Burger." The Margarita was good, but the Burger was great and don't even get me started on the fries. I realize that it's ridiculous how much I love potatoes, but it means I'm a connoisseur and I was drooling over the Iconos fries. They're a must have in my opinion. Our bartenders were friendly, the vibe was relaxing, the restaurant was beautiful, and the food was unreal. I'm not sure what else you could ask for. I seriously cannot wait to come back for brunch and a margarita flight. read more

(Last visited 4/16/2022.) Hanging out in Minneapolis for the weekend with some friends and YOU KNOW WE BRUNCH ON THE WEEKENDS! Lol. Here's how it went! Atmosphere/Appearance: So we found this place right in Uptown on Lyndale. It's a "downtown" like setting so you'll have to find a spot on the street or a nearby structure to put your car. The outside isn't much to look at, but inside is VERY different. The interior feels modern, chic, up-to-date and it definitely has a Mexican flare. There are murals on the walls, big windows for lot of natural light and a beautifully decorated bar. The atmosphere was lively and whenever there was a birthday in the house they brought this adorable like, wooden house with churros and a sparkler. Just say it's your birthday so that you can experience this for yourself. Lol. Food: We are here for the bottomless mimosas! They come in carafes that you pour yourself. They were pretty good and not super-juicy like some places like to do. I honestly can't remember that I ordered and well, that may be indicative of me either drinking too much... or... the food wasn't memorable. Oh well. Lol. Value: It's a decent Mexican spot so things usually aren't too pricey. You don't need the big bucks, but you still have to pay to play, especially if you're drinking bottomless mimosas! In conclusion, despite the food not being memorable, this place was just fine. I wouldn't just pop up and crave coming here, but for brunch... DEFINITELY at the top of my list. Mexican food is like instant hangover recovery food so eating it WHILE drinking is like a cheat code! Lol. read more

It was my first time visiting and we had a reservation. I highly recommend since it was busy for a Tuesday! For parking there's parking behind the restaurant but you have to pay otherwise I recommend the street behind the restaurant since it's free and it's not far of a walk. I recommend the margarita flight! It was delicious and it comes out with a presentation of sparklers! They definitely made it fun! I got the quesadillas and it was absolutely delicious! I love the beans that also came with it. Last we got churros for dessert and honestly the dipping sauce was disappointing. I've had better churros. Overall recommend their food and I want to come back for their brunch! read more

I love iconos-this place has such a fun vibe: great reggaeton music, great food/cocktails and friendly staff. If you are looking to have a night out in uptown this is a solid place to start or even end...they are open until 1am Friday-Sunday. Their birria tacos are delicious and I love the accompaniments that come with it, especially the consome/charred veggies. Pro move: get a cocktail on the menu with mezcal! read more

Hey Travoodies Hey! I ventured over to Iconos Gastro Cantina today, and boy was I amazed let's talk about. The vibe in this place is absolutely amazing. The decor just equally beautiful. I was a little rushed, but I understood it because the kitchen was about to close at three and I did arrive late but I still receive adequate service and they definitely was very attentive. What I ordered: I definitely went for the margarita flights. They look good to me on some of the pictures that I have seen. so, I wanted try them out. When they came out I was just wowed. The flight comes with a sparkly attached to it so it makes you feel so sophisticated or important. I wasn't to particular of the lavender margarita but the other was quite tasty. On Sundays they serve brunch until 3p, so I went with the Carnitas tacos. You get two of them and when I tell you that they are absolutely amazing. The pork was so tasty and juicy. I should've ordered some more. I can't wait to go back on days where I can actually spend time, enjoy the vibe and connect with some other people because they were super friendly. If I have to give this place a rating it's definitely gonna be 10/10!! ********************************************************** DM to join my Exclusicely Foodie or Traveler Group.

I love going to Iconos! This is the perfect place to bring friends for a chill (or wild) brunch! The food is great! I've had the eggs Benedict, chilaquiles, and Iconos breakfast platter. The Benedict was a pleasant twist on the classics breakfast meal. The carnitas added a great savory flavor and the masa cake is a great substitute for the English muffin. Chilaquiles are not too spicy so if you're afraid of spicy bit like flavor, it's a great meal! THEIR DRINKS ARE AMAZING! My favorite is their pina colada but also loved their margarita flight. If you go for bunch they do offer bottomless mimosas that are refilled as your pitcher runs low. Parking is tough...I suggest arriving before the brunch rush or between 3-4 as they transition into dinner. OR Uber/Lyft since the drinks are pretty spectacular and you'll probably have more than one Music can be loud so if you are sensitive to loud music or are looking for a place to have conversations, maybe consider elsewhere. If you're looking for a great food, awesome drinks, lively upbeat Latin/pop tracks to vibe to, this is definitely your spot!! Ps. Not the cheapest place, do anticipate spending about 50 a person ( food and drinks) read more

Iconos Gastro Cantina instagram: @xcyanneats Margaritas Flag I'm sorry, I forgot the one with the mango lollipop because the waitress said they changed it to something else just recently, Prince, and Don Chente All was good, but the Don Chente had a strong smoky flavor aftertaste which isn't my favorite. The mango lollipop was super good, and having the lollipop at the end as a treat was delicious. My personal favorite was Purple, I love the lavender and butterfly pea tea combo. All was very refreshing. The Burger, the literal name hahha I really enjoyed this. It's super juicy, and the cheese is soooo good as well. If you're wondering, Oaxaca Cheese. Although this was my boyfriend's dish. I had to ask for bites here and there because it was super good. Cielo Mar Tierra Fajitas I love the plating for this. All the diffeeent type of meat was tasty in its own way, and had flavors burst every bite. The green sauce that was drizzled on top was good, but I wish they had more on the side because it wasn't enough. I definitely did ask for spicy sauce, and it was alright. Food and drinks were good, but what threw me off was service. Waitress was informational when asked, no check ins when food arrived, and it took pretty long to get our check and even check out. It was a pretty slow day if they were able to have full conversations and be on their phones, but what do I know, right? Food 3/5 Service 1/5 read more

I went to Iconos Gastros Cantina for dinner and drinks with a friend and we had a very nice time! The food was very good and had a unique twist to all the items we ordered. The guac came with regular tortilla chips as well as chicharron and plantains, which was different from a usual Mexican restaurant! The Tinga tacos were delicious and I wish it came with more than 2 because I could have had another one! I also tried the Al Coco No margarita and it made me feel like I was on a beach sipping a pina colada. The service was also good, they stopped by occasionally to ask if we needed stuff but was not overbearing. It was very dark and picturesque in the restaurant overall and definitely a cute spot to have dinner or drinks! read more

Not the typical spot I would've chosen to come to for a date night.. being a new mom I have to be wise with my time, disappointed I spent a perfectly good date night with my husband at this place should've just went to Colita. Service was a 2/10. I wanted to love this place but the service was awful from both the server and the hostess. There was only one other table occupied and a couple people at the bar. The table felt sticky and when you walk in there's a strong cleaning solution smell (turn off). The food 5/10. You can really taste the cheap oil used to fry the food and chips.. the birria tacos saved this rating from being a 3/10 The drinks 5/10. Extremely sweet, presentation was cool. Dessert 2/10. Greasy churros. read more

I've been coming to this place since they opened in the fall of 2021. I have already tried every margarita on their menu and they're very tasty! Plus, they have great presentation. My favorite is Prince, a lavender margarita. I even decided to have my birthday brunch at their location to try out that menu, my favorite is the Iconos Breakfast which comes with papas con rajas, huevos a la mexicana, chorizo and pancakes. It was a lot of my friends first time there, so I ordered the cantarito which served 8 of us with more than 3 drinks each. We couldn't finish it. That costs $160. I would say it would best serve a party of 12 giving each person 4 drinks out of it. Also, it tastes great! For their dinner menu, I've only ordered the birria tacos which are ALWAYS a good idea in my book. They're SO good. You can taste the great quality in these birria tacos. Price is $16 for 3 tacos and dipping broth. read more

Yum yum yum!!!! The Birria tacos were to die for. The Birria broth was crazy flavorful and really brought together the whole dish. The meat was perfectly cooked as well as the tortilla and the cheese. Overall this was such an amazing dish and I cannot wait to go back and have it again. The ceviche was also super delicious. It seemed like the sauce was a creamier base than I am use to but it all worked together super well. If you're looking for an upscale Mexican restaurant this is definitely the place to go!!!! read more

This place is a vibe! The ambiance is fun. I was there for HH with a friend, but could totally see this as a perfect spot for a birthday celebration. I was having fun celebrating life! I ordered the margarita flag. Which is a margarita flight of the three most popular margaritas. I didn't expect it to come with a sparkler. Such a fun presentation! A fun way to sample these drinks. I would order a full size of either of them. I almost did, but decided to try the mangonada instead. Yummy frozen mango margarita. Though a bit slow, the server was friendly and made good recommendations. The yuca fries were good. The birra tacos were decent. My friend had the shrimp Diablo. It was served in a pineapple. The shrimp were large and plentiful. There's metered street parking and a metered lot behind the restaurant. I'd definitely recommend checking this place out! read more

The DJ music was SO loud on Friday evening (not late) we could not have any conversation. At all. I've thought long and hard about writing this because I don't want to sound like a cranky old person but when Siri kept warning me I was in a dangerously loud environment, I don't think I'm off base. It was obnoxious and they did not turn it down when asked. This was at the dinner hour 7 ish. We should have left. The food was so so. Not bad, not good. They really need to rethink their ambiance at dinner times. read more
