"Colita, an upscale spot in Linden Hills by chef Daniel del Prado, focuses on Oaxacan flavors and smoked meats, weaving subtle Tex-Mex influences into the menu. The half smoked chicken comes with tamarind jus, while the lamb barbacoa tacos are prepared with anchovies. Marco Zappia’s cocktail list is citrus-forward and bright with a stunning Oaxacan Old Fashioned. Book a table on Resy. Takeout is also available with online ordering." - Cinnamon Janzer
"Tuck into lamb barbacoa tacos and lobster tostadas in the sunshine at Colita in Linden Hills." - Justine Jones

"Pastry chef Diane Moua, keeping herself busy as she readies to open a new restaurant, whips up cakes with simple but striking contemporary style for Moua Pop-Up. Note that this pop-up is specifically timed with holidays, so cakes aren’t always available to order, but those dreamy layers of coconut cream are well worth the wait. Keep an eye out for an upcoming Mother’s Day pop-up. Cakes clock in around $65." - Stacy Brooks, Eater Staff
"Tex-Oaxacan eatery Colita is offering their take on a holiday meal for two to three people for $134 and up to four to six for $255. For a main dish, the smoked short rib with mole negra guarantees to be flavorful and mouth-watering. Pair that with refried beans and queso fresco, chipotle roasted cauliflower, elote, handmade tortillas, fermented fresno hot sauce for those that like it hot, salsa verde, and salsa rojo. While delicious every day, using both red and green salsas infuses this dinner with a much-needed sense of holiday whimsy. Can’t imagine dinner without dessert? Their flourless chocolate cake is just the thing." - Alicia Banaszewski
