Minnesota/Minnesotans C or D

how much of this concept to i have to play along with if i just want to eat there

wtf is that supposed to be?

the new old psycho suzi's

i'm seriously gonna get so contrarian i'm only gonna drink bud bottles at jimmy's anymore

if i'm not on the 4th floor of the MOA i'm not drinking

is there anything still up there? hooters? is bubba gump still going?

Movin' on up. We've got a Dick's Last Resort now.

all those are still alive and kicking, so is the game room/bowling alley place too.

work function holiday buffet was some of the worst food i've had this side of the knock-off benihana in maplewood my brother dragged me to

is dick's last resort the one with "sassy" waitresses that insult you and shit?

i think my mom was telling me about that

i went to Little Tiajuana's again for the first time since it reopened a couple years ago, p much the same, Don Pablo's level food in a scungy environment staffed by complete passive aggressive loonies. now it's not even open after bar time which sort of makes me wonder why it even exists. def feels like a relic from a long-past (thankfully) era in minneapolis mexican food. i'm sure you could find a better place literally every two blocks on lake street now.

xpost we had our work xmas party at Pinstripes an "upscale" bowling alley restaurant place by the Container Store and Five Guys by Southdale

xp Pancho Villas for starters

Still amazingly addicted to Pepito's chile con questo tbqh.

The original Pepito's in in my neighborhood and they are such good citizens and boosters of the neighborhood that I'm kind of loyal, plus they do some tex mex/americanized mexican stuff pretty great imo

i think i'll always have a place in my heart for throwback americanized mexican

Ditto.

totally, just Little T's isn't even really good at that imo

their verde chicken enchilada was alright, always dug the chips, all else mongo saddo

ha really it autocorrects mondo to mongo what a country

i also am required by my neighborhood to hate on your american mexican food pah

muy triste

So ... what do we regard as the most authentic Mexican restaurants in the Twin Cities?

when I moved away the answer to this my family came up with was "Chi-Chi's" so I'm interested in the answer for my future visits

the weird lunch counter area at burrito mercado

as an adult, it's amazing for me to look back at how EXCITED I used to get even as a teenager when my family would decide to go to Red Lobster or Chi_Chi's

CHIMICHANGA. xp

*hurl*

i love taco riendo also los ocampo, taco taxi does goat tacos, some place by the ywca on lake i can't remember the name of

dude there makes an in house hot sauce that is fucking mind blowing

I am sitting in a Houston bound for MSP. Can anybody recommend a good used video games shop? The only one I remember was a neat place way out in Shakopee, but nothing that's much closer to town.

Also, they're putting me up in the scenic urban neighborhood that is Inver Grove Heights once again.

I have been very pleased with Las Teresitas tacos

A Houston airport, rather

aw, I was about to be all "tell Cissy we said hi, also ew"

I am sitting in a Houston, different from the one you are in now. *melisma*

xp XD

i was gonna say Dusty Pixels but I guess it's closed, I never go to Uptown anymore...there's one called We Got Game, a small chain, this place http://www.hiscoregames.com/

& obv gamestops

i ate at the stp burrito mercado the other week, it was proper. i seriously am still thinking about the black beans, plain old black beans on the side.

Aw, that's too bad; Dusty Pixels is a great name for a shop like that

There was also a retro arcade called Rusty Quarters that closed :(

oh man i miss los ocampo so much sometimes
