Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

This review is specifically for the Global Midtown Market location, where I recently exchanged monies for a bowl of menudo. For the amount of monies I gave the nice lady, I received an unexpectedly large bowl. It came with soft, hot corn tortillas and lime. The broth is spicy, and perfect, and it smells like my grandma's kitchen. I ate the menudo, and it elicited feelings that I do not get when I eat lobster rolls or foie gras. Later that night, I continued to eat the menudo that I received for my monies. I microwaved it. Still tasted great. Menudo is hard to come by in the Twin Cities. This is the best out of 2 that I've tried. I gladly will continue to use paper monies to receive menudo and other items, such as pazole, from this restaurant.

A OK I guess? More like OK. It's hard for me to really get pumped about these tacos with the absolute BEST tamales a door down and when the tacos are OK but not really standout, like some of the dishes at La Hacienda or Pineda. Tacos are just a more crowded competitive pond, and sadly this outpost of Los Ocampo doesn't really do it. Spice is brought, the salsas are way above par, but there was a sad, greasy lack of personality to the meats I had. Maybe I should have gone with the tinga, but I just wasn't feeling it. Service was really nice, that's a plus.

I used to live in Mexico and grow tired of people telling me about the authentic Mexican food restaurants only to find it is very much American Mexican (which I like, but not authentic). I don't always walk around with that chip on my shoulder though. And it was amidst one of those rare lucid moments and with open mind hat I decided to give the Midtown Market location a try. I was glad I did. Most if not all (maybe all save the churros?) of the food is authentic. While I have tried several items on their menu I am a simple man at heart, and find I go for the cilantro / onion / carne asada tacos the majority of the time which are simply sublime with their (fresh / same day?) corn tortillas. Bonus: most weekday evenings (5 - 6ish?) they have some kind of music which is pretty great (or at least they used to). Nota buena: the website is unbearable.

Now that this crappy, cold, tit-freezing weather has forced itself upon us, once again I question why the hell I do this to myself every winter. Ugh. I just don't have the energy for it anymore. I want to go somewhere warm, sunny and flavorful. Too bad I lack both the PTO and the $. So what's a slightly depressed, teeth chattering girl gonna do? Make her way to the Midtown Global market, that what. I can do some travelling with my tastebuds all the while staying warm in a "mall" type atmosphere. One of my favorite spots in the MGM is Los Ocampo. The best tacos al pastor in the minneapple. Take a trip -- it will warm your windchilled heart. PS if you know of better al pastor, let me know...I'm on a hunt!

We just popped in the Midtown Global Market location for a quick dinner last night, and I forgot how yummy Los Ocampo could be. The tacos here are served my favorite way, with just cilantro & onion, possibly a little salsa on the side. One taco comes with two tortillas, and enough meat for both tortillas. I also had a quesadilla, which was awesome. The tortilla was crisp, but somehow soft at the same time. It wasn't overflowing with cheese, but the chicken was so good that it made up for the lack of cheese. Boy got a giant burrito, as per usual. Delicious. I can't forget to mention their Horchata, which my Dad made me try and I promptly fell in love with. Overall, Los Ocampo is a great place for when you are just hungry for some good, simple Mexican food. And at $17.35 to absolutely stuff two people, you can't really pass it up.

A regular lunch stop for me every time I can get to the Midtown Global Market. My favorite thing to order is their taco platter - your option of meats, rice, and beans. I also appreciate that they roast jalapenos and being a lover of hot - I mean really hot food - I usually take several. The cooks usually just stare at me, but what the heck - I like hot food. I've also tried the sope - pretty good, and the menudo - spicy tripe soup. Also, pretty good.

First visit, outstanding burrito comes with chips, guacamole, and green salsa. You get to pick your meat and fillings, I went with everything. The guacamole was fresh with little bits clearly recently hand? made as if by a potato masher, the burrito was absolutely outstanding but, perhaps on the pricey side $8.50 but, included the chips and Guacamole so maybe not. I love the Midtown Global Market and hit a different place to eat every time I am in the area.

This place is really amazing. The al pastor is addicting.

The burritos here are probably some of the best burritos I've ever had. I ordered a carnitas/steak burrito without sour cream, and was blown away by the size, quality, and quantity of meat. I'm thinking the burrito weighed around 2 pounds. It was gigantic! So delicious though, you will want to finish it even if it hurts to do so (you might regret it later... but it tastes so good!) I highly recommend the burritos and the tacos here, but I think the sopes and gorditas were just ho-hum. When you order, it does take a bit for them to prepare the food (it is not frozen/prepped beforehand-- so you know it's fresh) which is totally worth it for the extra three minutes since you know they are cooking it fresh for you. So delicious. Love this place.

I've had the churros here only. It was delicious but the problem is I waited ten minutes just for these simple dessert.

Set smack dab in the middle of the Midtown Global Market, I've definitely plopped down in that main seating area, stared at this place and thought, "it can't be any good in a location like that; it's only trying to compensate." But seeing so many people stopping by, I decided to give it a shot and boy, was I sooo happy I was wrong. I got a taco al pastor and it was pretty well flavored. Got all the flavors necessary, juicy and hot and plenty of limes for you. But the star of my meal was my torta (not the cubano one, the other one, whatever they call it). OMG it is SO GOOD!!!! Mayo, avocados, cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, beef (you can choose your meat) all between two well toasted light buns (do these every remind anyone of like a semi-brioche) omg, I was in heaven for those 10 minutes that I tried to fit this in my stomach. Oh yeah, did I mention this thing is HUGE? Also, I only paid like $8 plus tax for both of these delectables. Overall: I'm ashamed at my initial perception, because Los Ocampo, you got it going on!!!
