Craving some Mexican street food while stuck in the middle of a Minnesota winter? Look no further than newly opened Andale Taqueria y Mercado, a two-in-one market and restaurant featuring the delicious and vibrant culinary tradition that Mexico is famous for.
Looking for that authentic Mexican ingredient for your winter cooking, or to take that “sabor (taste) de Mexico” home with you? Andale’s market features homemade food in a deli-style setting, and fresh meats and authentic confections and pastries, such as the famed tres leches cake.
The restaurant portion of Andale serves classics like chips and salsa, guacamole and burritos, but also has traditional “South of the Border” flavors, such as tacos de lengua (beef tongue), or barbacoa de chievo (slow-cooked goat meat). If you can’t stomach these adventurous foodie fares, try the tacos al pastor, made with paper-thin slices of pork, or the delicious chorizo torta, a Mexican-style sandwich made with house-made spiced sausage, beans, mayo, onions, avocado, queso fresco, jalapenos and salsa.
Andale Taqueria y Mercado, 7700 Nicollet Ave., Richfield; 612.259.8929
