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.

I always get take out. I also always get the Burrito Suizo, a big burrito with your choice of 1 or 2 of their many meat options (Carne asada is my fav) covered in queso with rice and beans. I am never let down. THE BEST

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!

We went at night, so the space was not as cute as in the day. Florescent lighting and was very cold because of all the windows everywhere, but I really liked the art on the wall of "make tacos, not walls." I was a little worried when I looked at the menu because there weren't many written vegetarian options (was gonna just get rice and beans), but was able to get a vegetarian quesadilla, so I assume that many of their options can be made veggie, if you ask. Food came out relatively quickly and they brought lots of salsa too, which was perfect because I almost always have to ask for more salsa at most places. The quesadilla was so good. The cheese they used was divine and so melty! Good combo of veggies in it too (peppers and onions and more that I can't remember right now oops). I also got the oreo cheesecake, which was DIVINE. I always forget how much I like cheesecake and this one was tastier than most. I loved the crunchy oreos too to add a little texture. Will definitely be coming again to try different things. Want to try their juices when it's a little warmer!

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.

The restaurant also has a small parking lot which in Minneapolis is amazing.
