The elote was good but not amazing. It needed some lime. I would probably skip it next time. No seating. This is definitely a takeout place. 3.5 stars but room to grow.

Located on a very popular strip of Nicollet Ave and the establishment having a small interior, takeout or delivery is the best route. We ordered the Salsa Macha Chicken Bowl, Best Pork Burrito, and Classic Carnitas Tacos. Our order arrived quickly even with it being delivered to north of the city. If you're hungry this place will fill you. The food is HEARTY. Everything was tasty, however, it all has a very similar smokey flavor. We got three dishes to try out, but with how alike they all were flavor-wise, and filling, best to stick with one entré. Street parking.

I think this may be one of the most UNDERRATED places for tacos. First of all... they also have a…read morecarniceria attached so there is a HUGE variety of cuts of meat to get and they are FRESH. Second, the workers were so delightful. And lastly... the salsas... incredible. There is jot a lot of seating, and it's kind of a hole in the wall type place, where it's a little hard to find. But the entrance is on the side of the carniceria building. Do NOT sleep on this place.

A giant gorgeous space with a fantastic, well-executed menu…read more I met a friend for lunch on a Friday. Parking in this area can be tricky to find. We came at 11:30 and had our pick of tables. Almost every table was full by noon. You can order via QR code or at the counter. They have a few lunch specials, which I appreciate. The Centro Crunch has been my favorite since they introduced it to their menu. I appreciate the new takes on it every once in awhile. It's what you wish a Taco Bell Crunchwrap would be. The hibiscus lemonade is also fabulous. Sweet, but not too sweet.

If you didn't know, Tacos el Kevin's food truck is stationed at Theo Wirth Lake EVERY DAY ALL SUMMER! This is in my neighborhood where I walk often, and I couldn't be more thrilled to have them here. It is such a huge value add to have a taco truck by the lake, beach, volleyball courts, and for walkers/bikers/picnic-ers! My brother and I came on a bike outing, and we each got three tacos. Their menu was on the more limited side since it is a food truck, but we had no problem finding something we wanted. They were very reasonably priced as well! We got tacos to be on the "lighter" side, but were both eyeing the amazing burritos we saw others get. Next time... The tacos were delish! Great flavor, well prepared meats, and very hot and fresh. I got a few gristly/fatty pieces in my meats, but otherwise delish. We will absolutely be back to support their food truck at Theo Wirth Lake this summer!

To preface, I am from Georgia so i am very used to amazing food…read more That being said: i'm not a fan of the atmosphere, there's some music playing on a speaker that sounds like it's on its last days. The decor is okay, plant-inspired. Not much to look at and the lighting is quite dim. There is zero service here. No one even greets you when you walk in. It's basically operating like a fast food place. More importantly, the pictures on the menu are way different from the items you actually get. The food is fine but it is not delicious, and I don't see myself coming back here. I ordered steak quesadillas and it's like they barely toasted a tortilla, threw some tasteless meat and mozzarella cheese on it and called it a day. I had to eat sauce with every bite otherwise it would be essentially tasteless. There was nothing else on it, no onion, no peppers, nothing. I could've made better at home. This isn't even a proper restaurant. You don't get drinks, even water unless you order it. No free chips and salsa or anything like that.

Ben and Jerry's free ice cream cone day. After hanging out for half an hour with a live DJ,…read moredancing, and ice cream, we were ready for dinner. Priorities. What are we craving? Burgers? Nah. Pizza? Two maybes - plus the asker. Mexican? Again, two maybes. We start scouring possibilities. And come across a pizzaria + taqueria. Ratings at a very respectable 4.5. Curiosities at full peak. Plus it's close. We've got a winner. No guests inside when we arrive. Parking right out front. Before we even decide on an order, however, people start coming in. Several tables fill up within 10 minutes. Amusingly, the first next group grabbed the one curved booth with my full drink bottle still sitting on the table in the middle of them. They migrated to the semi-booth across the dining area. Clearly, the two most desired seating areas in the house. We ordered birria pizza and horchata - we have a tradition of testing the horchata at every next Mexican restaurant we try. This one was mid - not horrible, not great. Just was. We'd ordered a birria pizza recently, elsewhere. It came out as... a birria taco in pizza layout. Tortilla circle, birria middle, tortilla top. Meh. To be fair, that birria pizza was the only pizza item on that menu, so it made sense that their pizza just wasn't pizza-ing. We were hopeful for a very different experience this time. Especially given the very clear emphasis on pizza on this menu. Then the pizza came. Not only did it look glorious, a bowl of birria dip sat in the middle of the pizza, completing the birria experience. And it was absolutely fantastic. The birria, the ratio, the crust - everything was delicious. Except, as my friend pointed out, the horchata. It can't all be perfect, unfortunately. The pizza was so good that when we wrapped up the leftovers, a strip of end crust went in with the rest of the pie. Speaking of, I'm definitely ready to reheat all of that now - update: Awesome reheated. :) Next visit: Chorizo pineapple jalepeño pizza!

Marsu Pizzeria: The Battle for the Last Slice…read more I walked into Marsu Pizzeria already knowing two things: 1) I was about to have the best pizza of my life. 2) I was going to order way too much food and have no regrets. The place smelled like heaven--garlic, melted cheese, fresh dough. I took a seat, ready to devour a feast. A cheerful employee--let's call him Tony (because let's be real, every good pizzeria has a Tony)--walks up with a confident smile. Tony: "You ready for the best pizza of your life?" Me: "Tony, I've been training for this moment my whole life." I ordered the house special pizza (because if a pizza place has a signature pizza, you ORDER IT), plus some garlic knots, because I respect myself. The food came out fast, hot, fresh, and smelling like a dream. As I'm one slice away from food coma territory, I see it. The last slice. The holy grail. The perfect combination of cheese, sauce, and crispy crust, staring at me like it knows it's about to be devoured. Just as I'm reaching for it, Tony slides by the table, nodding at my plate. Tony: "You gonna finish that?" Me: "...I was planning on it, Tony." Tony: "You sure? I mean, we could put it up for auction. Bidding starts at one garlic knot." Me: "Not happening." Tony: "Alright, but just know... if you don't eat it in the next 30 seconds, I legally get to claim it." Now, I don't know what kind of pizzeria law Tony is operating under, but I wasn't about to test it. I stared him dead in the eyes as I picked up the last slice and took the biggest bite possible. Tony (nodding approvingly): "Good choice. That's the kind of hunger we respect around here." Long story short, Marsu Pizzeria has the best pizza, the best vibes, and employees who will absolutely test your commitment to finishing your food. Final score? 10/10 pizza. 10/10 service. 10/10 threats on my last slice.
