Colita

The gist: After rising to local fame with Martina, chef Daniel del Prado’s second restaurant located in a transformed South Minneapolis gas station does “elevated” Mexican right.
The food: Colita serves ribs, tostadas, and tacos using smoking techniques from all over the world. Start with crispy masa and guac, then order the mushroom quesadilla or chicken tinga tostadas. If you’re dining in-person, odd drinkware and fun garnishes make cocktails even more fun to imbibe.
The cost: Entrees range from $9 - $21.
How to order: Order takeout on Toast; make a dining room or patio reservation.
