Lovel Trahan: I highly recommend the llapingachos or the buttermilk pancakes with plantains!
Laura F: If they have ice cream, try a scoop of vanilla bean with a scoop of passion fruit. Tastes like a cream sickle. Pure perfection!
Heavy Table: Get the shrimp or halibut encocado. The creamy, mellow, balanced coconut sauce would be worth buying were it bottled. Read more.

Nancy Rowbotham: Best onion rings, ever! Great food and a nice place where you can also take the kids.
City Pages: The Asian Hangover: a dish of fragrant Jasmine rice, shiny, garlic-flecked green beans, a piece of richly fatted pork seasoned with Chinese five-spice powder & a fried egg. Need we say more? Read more.
Heavy Table: The cheddar and ale soup is delicious and balanced, and served with equally tasty pretzel bread. Also go for the lumpias, which are crunchy little eggroll-like morsels. Read more.
Joe Funk: Get the Chipotle Cheese Steak, great twist on an old favorite
Tim Schaaf: How did the hipster burn the roof of his mouth? He ate the MAC N Cheese before it was cool.
City Pages: Voted top ten chicken wings! The house wings are a rosy molasses color, dipped in sticky, sweet honey soy glaze with a Sriracha-spiked mayonnaise for dipping.

Theresa: Brunch was excellent. I suggest the "farmers breakfast" with Apple-cinnamon French toast
City Pages: Voted Best Meatloaf by City Pages in 2012! Combining bison, pork, & beef- theres a complexity thats a little more appealing than meatloaf's usual "complexity." The warm meatloaf sandwich soothes souls
Heather Polivka: Must have the warm Camembert with the caramelized onions... Nirvana!

Cuban Restaurant · Kingfield · 100 tips and reviews
Dave Keepper: Cuban hash, eggs over easy with Cuban toast and guava jam may be the best breakfast in the Twin Cities.
Haeyoon Chang: Everything here is amazing. Even though I live nowhere by it anymore I make a point to drive out. My boyfriend liked his Cuban sandwich so much he got up and hugged the chef.
Samuel Grace: This place is a "top five" for me in Minneapolis. Incredible food. Friendly and helpful staff. What makes this place truly special is the atmosphere. It's a small building with a big personality.

J W: Good tap selection, fried mushrooms are tasty, friendly service, and of course the iconic urinals. It's a good spot!
Charles Edge: Cup holders in the urinals!
Shayne Wells: Check out the urinals (yes, women too). 100+ years old, all marble w/cup holders.
