The food is amazing, the atmosphere is authentic and fun, and the lengua (cow tongue) literally MELTS on your tongue. You cant even feel it when you chew and it’s so goooddddd. Plus, even when they’re busy you only have to wait like 15 minutes to get your food. The staff are very friendly too

EVERYTHING was delicious! TREAT YOSELF 2a REINA Margharita(or2). Best Margherita that I've ever had! Spendy but worth it. YUMM and also bought stuff in the Mercado :)

Amazing staff, friendly and helpful! It's hard to go through this place without a guide (if you're not familiar with Mexican fare) but the team here are patient and friendly! I bought churros, choco flan and chicharron! There's so many more to explore that I'm saving for the next trip. Certainly worth a try and you can relax at the bar after shopping!

Always very good! My husband and I love shopping here. The to go food is hot and delicious. I love the shrimp burrito, the rice, and queso. Their chips are also very tasty. Came in for breakfast on a Sunday too and had a delicious breakfast burrito with rice and beans. The green salsa is delicious, has a bit of heat, but not too spicy for this Minnesotan. My husband had the breakfast torta and liked it, but said he would try something else next time.

A real gem nestled in a vibrant and bustling neighborhood. When I moved to Minnesota, this was one of the first places I tried, and I was blown away by its large grocery selection, charm, and great food. I haven’t been back in over 10 years, since it’s not too close to me, but I decided to go back this weekend. It didn’t disappoint! I’d highly recommend checking out Raspberry Island’s Alebrijes exhibit (June-October 2025), and then heading here for lunch and a few groceries. The patio is definitely to place to sit. They also have an elote stand out back! I enjoyed my coffee and burrito, and I left the restaurant feeling full and with my arms full of groceries.
