Andale Taqueria

Minnesota is finally stepping up their taco game. Andale is located at 7700 Nicollet Avenue South in Richfield. Yes I know that seems like a strange location for some of the best tacos in town, however, it is what it is. Situated across the street from Menards you will find a bustling parking lot of people constantly coming and going. Andale has already gained quite the following after being on Diners, Drive Ins and Dives. They have a large menu and serve Mexican style breakfast all day. My personal favorites include the fish tacos, carne asada, carnitas and al pastor. They make some good salsas and virtually everything is made from scratch. Whether eating in or taking out if you are craving real deal tacos and other Mexican delights this is the first direction I would point you in.

The Quest for TC’s Best Burger: Saint Dinette

There is no question this is one of the best burgers in town. They start off by grinding their own chuck in house and add a healthy amount of butter while they are grinding the beef. The next step would be creating their own scratch made “American” cheese. They use fancy cheeses, shallots, Cava (think champagne from Spain) and more goodies to create the best of both worlds. You have the gorgeous meltability of American cheese with a more sophisticated flavor profile. The bun is from Saint Agnes Bakery which is one my personal favorites for making burgers at home. Great sharp acidic pickles round out this debauchery. If you haven’t tried this burger you are in for quite a treat.
