"A casual, industrial-chic restaurant in Minneapolis’s Northeast neighborhood by co-owners Jose Alarcon and Jami Olson, Centro is a great spot for a happy hour of oysters, margaritas, and tacos (think papas with escabeche vegetables, or cured cactus with mushrooms, kale, and caramelized onions). Chef Jose Alarcon also serves a notable brunch on Sundays: Come for the pescado tortas, the guava glitter rolls, and the passion fruit frozen margaritas. If you’re on the go, grab some masa cookies or chocolate mole cupcakes from the bakery." - Eater Staff
