Paul Wichser: Tacos Al Pastor has a spicy sweet pineapple shot I'll be dreaming of for weeks. Careful of the Styrofoam: they'll use only foil if you ask nicely.
Naomi: Best place on Central for Mexican food. Great service, pineapple water is delicious!
Aaron Neumann: Best authentic fast #Mexican food in #NEmpls, hands down. Sorry El Taco Riendo; you've been outdone.

METRO Magazine: The Al Pastor at El Taco Riendo's is especially nice - lipstick red, tangy, and garnished with a few pineapple slices.
METRO magazine: Any authentic taqueria in the Twin Cities should serve up a solid al pastor taco, but El Taco Riendo;s is especially nice - lipstick red, tangy and garnished with a few pineapple slices. Read more.
Jamie Maertens: Best Mexican food in town, hands down. The vegetarian burrito is delicious, and the chipotle chicken is amazing.
Regina Marie: The Kahlua Pork Sandwich is delicious - really unique with the pineapple slaw.
Megan Hollenkamp: excellent lunch menu - from burgers to salmon quinoa salad. our bartender also made a killer pineapple curry concoction.
Eater: Run by brothers Chris and Andrew Ikeda, this new Uptown spot features American food with Asian influences. Think: lobster tostadas and misoyaki salmon. Plus, brunch.

Steven Mc: The Lao beer is odd. Very carbonated, dark beer finish, but lacking hops flavor. Food was very tasty. The boy loved his tenticals pineapple fried rice!
Dan E: Get the pineapple fried rice now, thank me later. Don't think, just do it.
David S: I've eaten Thai all over the world, even in Thailand, and the Mee Gati here is phenomenal. Some of the best Thai food I've had!

Kristen Girard: Try the Morning Glory muffin. It has strawberry, pineapple, coconut, carrot, raisin, and cinnamon-sugar... Amazing.
Madge Mc: Solid coffee. Best depth charge in S Minneapolis. Home baked goodies. All excellent. Wonderful independent coffee shop.
Le Tweed: strike up a friendly conversation w owner -- Hakkan from Turkey. He roasts his owns beans right on the premises and try the spanokopita. Least expensive lattes in town!
Gary Oftedahl: Amazing and surprising, as the food exceeds the expectations from a decor that is relaxing but a bit dated. Terrific flavors, check out the weekly specials, and...the pineapple foster--killer!!!
Darius Davis: Bar stools near door are a cold place to sit. Tried the Spicy Humpty Dumpty Burger, simply an amazing and perfectly done burger.
Tim Schaaf: How did the hipster burn the roof of his mouth? He ate the MAC N Cheese before it was cool.
