It was also interesting learning about the different tequila options. They do have an outdoor patio (curbside) and excellent tacos.

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!!

Nice restaurant decor with a good amount of seating. The parking lot is a little small and could take a while to get in and out of because it's in a pretty busy area. Looking forward to dining in soon and trying more dishes AND desserts

If you're even thinking about tacos, just go to Andale Taqueria Tacos--seriously…read more These are hands down the most delicious tacos I've ever had. The flavors are insanely fresh, the meat is perfectly seasoned, and every bite just hits. You can tell they actually care about the quality here. The tortillas? Soft and legit. The toppings? Simple but perfect. It's the kind of place where you take one bite and immediately know you'll be back. Even Guy Fieri stopped by and gave it high praise--and he was absolutely right. Easily a 10/10. This spot just raised my taco standards.

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!

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!

I'm not exaggerating when I say the shrimp burrito at El Sazón might have altered the course of my…read morelife. I've eaten a lot of burritos around Minneapolis, St. Paul, Eagan--you name it--but nothing has ever come close to this masterpiece. The only hiccup was the ordering process. They really want you to order through a QR code, which threw me off for a second. It's not the most intuitive setup, and I definitely had a "wait... am I doing this right?" moment. But once the order was in, everything turned around fast. The service was smooth, friendly, and the food came out quicker than I expected. And that shrimp burrito? Unreal. The tortilla was warm and perfectly toasted, the sauce had that rich, savory kick that makes you pause mid‑bite, and the shrimp... there were so many I genuinely lost count. No filler, no fluff--just pure shrimp glory from start to finish. If you're anywhere near Minneapolis and even remotely into shrimp, get yourself to El Sazón. That burrito deserves its own fan club.
