“This place is a hidden gem in the suburbs.. Great food and friendly staff. Erica was my host on a random taco Tuesday. Great specials offered daily too.”

“10/10 Best place in town for tacos.”

“Stopped after Como Zoo adventure 🐅 🦍 🦭 🦓 🐆 🦒 🦬 🦩 🐿 🐻 Grandson is a very picky eater and said they had the best fruit 🫐🍇🍉🍍 and we ordered 3 different sandwiches 🥪 and every one was Delicious on fresh baked bread 🍞🥖 the price was fair compared to any other sandwich shop Nelson’s is by far the best for quality, freshness, and you can tell made with love ❤️ I have never purchased potato salad that was So delicious and was definitely homemade. I will definitely stop again when in the area and let others know it’s a Great place to stop for lunch.”

“Some of the best food that’s close to me - I’ve already been 3 times I love the sauce so tangy and mixes well with the perfectly cooked rice - I can’t decide between the chicken and the gyro proteins so I always get both and I love the addition and bite of jalepenos not too spicy but a little kick - maybe the only thing missing is fresh baked bread or rolls, that would be over the top with a Turkish style of bread or something but I love it also how it is”

“Best Beef Mai fun we've ever had! The noodles had amazing flavor!! Beef was tender as always no matter what beef entree you order the meat is tender! Customer service is always a 10+ restaurant is clean. It's a small dining area but it's a cozy place.”

“Delightful spot with an amazing array of flavors. Our favorite date night stop!”

“This is my favorite restaurant. Get the pupusas with consomme as a recommendation but I get something different every time and I love it all. my wife enjoys the flautas the most.”

“I live about an hour away and the drive is well worth it. The Carne asada burrito bowl is the bomb 💣 The hot sauce is hot like it should be. Mr.Taco is by far the best Mexican food I've had in this state.”

“Thanks Jenn, for a great experience, she suggested add-ons for m and helped me with a coupon that was going to expire, which I did not know, again thank you for a great experience 😊”

“5/2026
A good and quiet local restaurant. Exactly what you would expect from a long standing American Chinese restaurant. I've included updated menu pictures”

“Don't sleep on this place. It's more of a venue but they have takeout dinner hours late week-weekend. The generals chicken is better than most places and the chicken laab is great. They nail it on your spicy preferences. I reccomend calling in your order so you can leave a tip. Online orders are through a platform and you can't tip in store. They're always super fast and friendly. Family owned spot. Hmong sausage and sticky rice is on point also.”

“Brie is THE BEST Bartender, she is Kind and Efficient! Played Etabs and Enjoyed Drinks! 5 STARS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“My girlfriend and I stopped in for some coffee to go and the store was super clean and the staff had a smile on their faces and were pleasant all the way around.
I love their lemon Bread and the White Chocolate Mochas was excellent.”

“WOW Customer service! We had an event planned tonight for 80 people and with the storms last night, our catering service lost all of our food. Kari and Amy at the Spring Lake Park HyVee were able to pull together a menu last minute AND deliver it to us last minute! They really helped us in a bind. I have always loved HyVee, but then now earned a customer for life and will get all of my catering referrals! Thank you so much!! #amazing #customerservice”

“Had lunch today at the buffet. The food was fresh and hot! lots of choices, including pizza and chicken nuggets for the kitties. the food was very good! our bill came to 35.33 for three adult buffets. we all did drink water so I'm not sure if beverages are included. the service was good too! I would definitely go back and I would definitely recommend it 😀”

“After moving boxes and all kinds of things around from a storage unit to a hotel room and getting everything unpacked and put away, a large vanilla shake, regular burger with no pickles & no mustard, and a large sprite to take it all in with…. it was magical!!! It was like virgin mcdonald groupies!!! I can’t remember the last time it was so darn delicious!!!!!♥️ ?? ??? ?”

“food was amazing, I reccomend the prime rib dip. drink were perfectly proportionate. bartenders jackson and jake went above and beyond, drink never went empty and my food came before my girl does.”

“I have been here many times. I love the food. They can back from COVID shut downs pretty strong. \nThe crab ravioli is my favorite.\nI miss the pre-Covid half portions.”

“Amazing food in a comfortable setting with great service.”

“I can’t begin to say how much we enjoyed our dinner here. Highly recommend it!”

“I agree with previous poster. I will be dreaming of Francis now. Door was FABULOUS! Atmosphere is quaint. Francis is my new favorite”

“Everything we’ve had from Nixta is just so good. More than once we’ve said “this is the best ______ I’ve ever had” about various menu items. Cant recommend enough.”

“First, I have never eaten Filipino food before. I read their website and saw it was sweet and savory instead of spicy, which is perfect. I am not a spicy girl. When I arrived with my mother, we were immediately greeted by the owner. She took our orders and then we sat down. A few minutes later, her husband stopped by with our drink (halo halo) and explained how to stir it to blend all the flavors together.
Overall, it was a wonderful, friendly experience. The food was phenomenal and reasonably priced, the restaurant was decorated superbly, and the owners were amazing. I definitely plan on returning in the future.”

“Nice restaurant. Great service and good food. The salt and pepper mushrooms were good and the portion was larger than i had expected. Steak was cooked perfectly and tasted great. The desert was amazing, the sweet corn cream pot was so good. It really made the meal.”

“We've been several times, food and service have always been excellent, recommend the mussels and the Cassoulet.”

“Myself and four friends were in Minneapolis for a few days on a visit from Ireland and had breakfast here a few times. Food was delicious. Great choice on the menu. Service was brilliant. Staff friendly and efficient.”

“Want an AMAZING dinner? Then this is your place! We had the collard greens dip and the Minnesota Meal. Both were outstanding! Will be back - and will bring friends!”

“Delicious coffee and baked goods! Our team loves picking up from your Cafe! 💫”

“This our first time in MN for appointments at Mayo Clinic. The staff were so welcoming and the food was delicious. 😋”

“Pretty unique and cool place! If I lived near by, I’d eat here all the time. Not many places like this anymore. Excellent, reasonably priced food, great staff and service. Highly recommend!”
