I was craving Mexican food in downtown Minneapolis, and this came up on a quick search. For a…read moreFriday evening after work, it was a great spot to meet a friend who was visiting and staying at a hotel nearby. We wanted to make the most of the menu, so we ordered chips + guac with 5 salsas, all very different but good depending on what you're into. We also indulged in the tequila flight, which was quite pleasant, a burrito with the chicken, which was huge and so so good, I still think about it. The enchiladas were tasty, but could've appreciated a larger portion. The service was great considering we were the only diners in our server's section, and we were seated at a high table right inside. The open windows looking out to the sidewalk patio were a great city feel. Definitely a place I'd return to for a summer evening dinner.

I haven't updated this since the last time I lived in Minnesota!…read more When we moved back, Orale was one of the first places we went back to. I love this place, and the food is on par with a lot of Mexican food in California. Most recently, we went to celebrate a birthday. We go here because they are veggie friendly. We ordered the veggie enchiladas and I got a veggie wet burrito. Everything was delicious. My only complaint would be that things could be a bit saucier...but that's a preference thing and we get salsa on the side for it. We also got chips and guac -- delicious as well! I will say that the portions, especially the burrito are VERY generous. I think I should have shared it! It was pretty buzzy, which was great to see given the depths of winter we were in. Go here!!

The food is pretty good. I lived in Querétaro, Mexico for a while and spent 8 years in Phoenix, so…read moreI know the difference between authentic and Americanized Mexican food; this is firmly the latter. It's a bit whitewashed and leans more Cal-Mex than anything you'd find in Mexico, but I'm not complaining. I love a good California burrito and asada fries, so this style has its place (especially in Minnesota). Service can be slow. It took us about an hour to get two burritos yesterday and the restaurant didn't look busy. Maybe they were just short staffed. My main issue is the salsa. They limit you to one packet per person, and it's not the slightest bit spicy. And where are the limes? This place desperately needs a salsa bar with real options and some heat. Bump up the salsa selection and stop rationing it, and this would be a solid spot. For now, I'll keep getting this to go and buying my own salsa and limes.

Really this is probably a 4.5 star place, but I rounded up because the staff was so friendly…read more We went there for brunch a couple of weeks ago, and we were all impressed with our selections. The tamales were amazing, the al pastor was excellent, but we all agreed the chilaquiles was the best entree we tried. Be warned, ALL of the entrees were HUGE. The chilaquiles were clearly enough to feed two adults, as was the huevos rancheros. In retrospect, we should have maybe ordered three entrees for four people. Oh, and don't skip dessert!

Andale is a nostalgic spot for me, as this was my first experience having what I believe are true…read moreauthentic tacos. The place is quaint and clean, and the workers are incredibly friendly as well. I ended up ordering multiple tacos, including: chorizo, al pastor, and carne asada. The chorizo was my favorite; fatty and moist, with that classic chorizo spiced flavor. The al pastor and carne asada are also delicious - tender, moist, and flavorful. Each of these tacos are enhanced by the accompaniments of onion, cilantro, lime, and salsa that are available at the DIY bar. I will say compared to other taco spots in LA, Andale just quite isn't there yet but it is a solid place for those in MN who are craving some good tacos.

I really love a self-order restuarant, our food came out within 10 minutes and drinks were quick as well. They have great seating options inside or out - perfect for a solo date too! The elote corn really threw me through a loop because it was SO wet. Almost everyone ordered it, and left us a bit dissapointed with how wet it was. Wouldnt order again. The fish taco was really good! I do wish they still had the nopales tacos :( Cherry marg was amazing, and im usually not a big fan of margaritas! Perfectly tart without being too sweet. Nachos were HUGE and layered really well - definitely needed for the entire table! When one of our drinks were forgotten, they gave us an extra to make up for it... which we really appreciated after the wait! Love u centro & especially your parking in the back!

The restaurant is big with plenty of tables to dine. Great service and very helpful with recommendations! Thank you!!!!

I used to come here with my family when I was younger, so when I found myself in the area again, I…read morehad to stop by for old time's sake. The first thing I noticed? The prices definitely went up but honestly, given how much this place has grown and recognition they have received, it does makes sense. I ordered my childhood go-to, their birria tacos and a horchata. I already knew what I was getting into, but that first bite still hit me with a wave of nostalgia and pure flavor. The tacos were as rich and juicy as ever, and that horchata? Still absolute perfection, sweet, creamy, and the best way to wash it down your meal. Maybe I'm being dramatic, but this place just has a special place in my heart. So if you're in the area and craving some birria, 100% make the visit.

El Sazon is amazing and a gem in the community…read more This is everything you want in a small business in your local community, a feeling like you're going over a relatives home. Exceptional, personal service, passionate cooking, warm and inviting atmosphere. The owners Chef Cristian and wife Karen are absolutely amazing and the sweetest. I'd been previously for various events, but this was the first trip just for a casual pop in and dinner. Went for nachos as a table, I snagged a birria burrito bowl, and we had a churro cheesecake for dessert. Chefs, absolute, kiss. You can taste the passion. There's a lot in the back for parking, and pricing is more than fair if not, a killer value in my opinion. Definitely check them out!

They are not serving alcohol anymore which is unfortunate to not be able to enjoy a margarita but they had a large mocktail list. We tried three different tacos (chicken, carne asada, and carnitas) and I loved being able to mix and match. The carne asada was probably my favorite but they all were swimming in oil. The skirt steak enchiladas were a standout and easily my favorite dish of the meal. The steak was tender, the portions were generous, and everything came together really well. The queso was rich and creamy, and the fresh guacamole was a great starter while we waited for our food. Service was friendly and attentive throughout our meal, and the overall atmosphere made it a really enjoyable place to spend the evening.

For anyone with celiac disease, this place is great, the entire menu is gluten free, so you can order with complete peace of mind. The slow roasted pork arepa was a standout. The pork was incredibly tender with excellent flavor. One minor note: the yuca fries were a little light on portion size. That said, we left pleasantly full and very satisfied overall. The restaurant also has a small parking lot which in Minneapolis is amazing.

There is something for everyone here as they can accommodate a lot of diets and you can customize your dishes. They also have a lot of fun drink options, even for those who don't drink alcohol.

I also ordered a mocktail and when our server brought us a round of shots to celebrate (their current frozen drink) she brought me an N/A without me needing to ask which I really loved. Super great service and I'll definitely recommend this spot!
