The Best Tacos in Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota | Eater Twin Cities
"El Sazon serves some of the Cities’ finest tacos from inside an Eagan gas station, including an unbeatable chicharrón taco, with tender and fatty pork belly crowned with purple cabbage, queso fresco, and salsa ranchera, all over a fresh smear of guacamole. But for a more out-of-the-box taco experience, it’s worth heading to Stillwater where earlier this year owners Karen and chef Cristian De Leon opened their third restaurant. Here the kitchen is dedicated to reconstructing Mayan cuisine, by utilizing way of staple crops and drawing on cooking techniques that draw on the owners’ roots in Mexico and Guatemala. The best part? The chef’s table taco omakase, which features eight creative courses (seven savory, one sweet — a choco taco!) for $80 with an optional $35 cocktail pairings that are just as inventive (think a spin on a michelada made with the tomato water that drains off the restaurant’s pico). Reservations are available on Tock." - Cinnamon Janzer
