I'm so glad we were in the area to try this gem of a BBQ joint! When I mentioned to a friend I was…read moregoing to visit the bookstore across the street, they immediately recommended grabbing lunch at Northbound. I loved the cheese curds, mac and cheese and the hushpuppies were also standouts. I opted for the brisket bowl, which I enjoyed...the pickles were also delicious. All my friends opted for the pulled chicken sandwich, and they all said it was good. Quick service and great outdoor patio for a nice day!

Biked there from my house and had the poutine and the burnt ends. I've had the poutine many times…read moreand it is always good and reliable and a lot of food. But the burnt ends were amazing! Usually I avoid these when eating out because they can be fatty. But here they were pretty lean, and what fat there was was sufficiently rendered down. The bbq sauce with them was as unnecessary but tasty. They also have a killer Tuesday happy hour for their beer, which is excellent. Ans their cocktails are quite good too.

Not to be confused with Los Narcos, which are dudes you don't wanna mess with, especially in…read moreColombia, Mexico, and, well, the US obvi. The consumer nation. Yep. $$$$$$$$. Lovely little spot for Mexican goodies of the grocery store variety. Yes you can probably find a lot of this stuff at your local La Fiesta or whatever other International Market you like to go to - but the benefit of getting it here is that you're supporting a tiny little local business inside the wonderful Mercado Central and you also have your choice of 10 or 15 of the best little Latin food stands imaginable after you get your groceries. Yummmmz. Try La Loma for example. It can be a little bit more expensive than the the likes of La Fiesta but at the same time there are some deals to be had and they even have a few little things that you might not find at your average Mexican grocery store. Pretty much everything (shelf stable stuff especially) in here is imported either through a wholesaler or directly from the Latin countries and it's a wonderful addition to the market. Speaking of a wholesaler... Barbie likes this place too.

One stop shop. Everyone knows that. Great food…read more Great service. The community loves this place. And they live us back. Always has. Always will.

Don't call police over a punk $20 bill. I myself have got change back from a legit big chain gas…read morestation on 2 occasions that I know of and received fake 20's and didn't know until I spent it later. They told me they were fake ,I told them I got it from gas station( I knew bc I was 5 states away on vacay) and knew where I got change. I'm white so of course we all know that's why police were not called. I'm saying this because sometimes people get change from legit places not knowing. That's not my fault . And as I know George personally I know he didn't know either and he was killed because of it.

We stopped by yesterday in hopes of checking out the Somali museum downstairs; however it was…read moreclosed for the 4th of July. So we walked around the food court area, most of the stalls were closed. I appreciated the variety of eateries available. We spent time browsing the mini grocery area, where they sell various interesting items such as honey comb and Turkish delight. My friend bought dried chamomile flowers in bulk to make tea. It was only a quarter the price of buying chamomile tea bags! In the building were some interesting art sculptures. I really like mixed use spaces like this.

I love Midtown Global Market with all of my heart. I went…read morelast Friday for the first time in a while and have already been back 2 times already since then (it's now Monday). Midtown Global Market has been such a staple in my life. It does such a good job of having food options from so many cultures and parts of the world. The food is reasonably priced and the workers are all so kind and knowledgable. Beyond just food, there is a huge selection of art, groceries, clothing, and more. MGM has always felt like the ideal of what Minneapolis is and can be. I am sad to see a lot of booths closed right now. My heart aches for my neighbors and community. I hope (and know) that MGM can bounce back and continue to be a place of diverse community. Love MGM always.

I have been going to La Cosecha in the Midtown Global Market ever since they opened 3 years ago…read more Why? They have a great selection of hot sauces. I dont mean Pace picante sauce (barf!) nor do I mean pico de gallo, which I consider more of a garnish than an actual salsa. I mean tiny bottles filled with potent and tangy sauces every color of the rainbow. Tapatio, Dave's Gourmet Insanity, Cholula, and my all-time favorite: Green Yucateco. La Cosecha does an excellent job of keeping their shelves stocked with all my favorites and then some. I tried an avocado/habanero salsa here recently that was delicious. Besides keeping me in fire-breathing intensity, La Cosecha carries all kinds of Latin American staple foods that I want from Central and South America. They stretch from the Mexican north (tamale husks, steamers, stone mortar & pestle sets) all the way to the southern tip of Chile (frying dough for cheese empanadas).

Butcher here is great. I wanted ribs...like as in baby back ribs to grill and all they had were…read morethin strips of ribs. He explained to me that Latins use thin strips of ribs for soups and stuff, interesting. I told him I wanted a big piece to grill and he went into the walk in and procured what looked like a whole pig! He cut down a huge slab of ribs for me and my BBQ day was saved. Can't say if it tasted good cos I don't eat pork but my BF scarfed them down so I'm guessing it was tasty. Price was very reasonable too. I've also bought stuff from the store here like dried chili's and plantains. Stuff you can't always get a a regular grocery store, they seem to have here as far as Latin food goes. Great asset to the MGM!
