Boca Chica Mexican Restaurant has served the flavorful, authentic cuisine of Mexico since 1964. It was then that Guillermo and Gloria Frias opened the doors to their new restaurant that seated only 28 patrons. Today, Boca Chica has grown substantially and is rated "one of the best Mexican restaurants in the Twin Cities," according to the Minneapolis-St. Paul Magazine’s March 2018 issue.The authenticity of the food is maintained by making everything from scratch, the old-fashioned way, with fresh ingredients. Even the fiery salsa is still made with fresh tomatoes, chiles, and that special Frias family touch. Our menu includes some of the more traditional foods such as guisados, sopes, carne asada, chile rellenos, and tamales. Taste is never compromised. We also have a full bar featuring the city’s best selection of Mexican beers and premium tequilas. Voted "Best Margarita" by City Pages.

• Steak • Roseville

If you're going to take your name from a badass like the patron saint of blacksmiths, you better be able to back it up. Baldamar marks the turning point where we usher in the new standard for style, service and steak. It means the menu’s made with old-world craft at its core and modern day meat eaters in mind — with flavors forged in fire and folded into pure primal perfection. It’s where every steak is aged 40 days and 40 nights for a taste of biblical proportion, and where crazy-fresh seafood means it was caught during your morning commute. At the bar sits every spirit imaginable, and someone who isn’t afraid to use them. This is more than a new steakhouse. It’s a line in the sand. It’s not just where you celebrate special occasions. It’s where you create them.*A 20% Service Fee is added to all groups of 8 or more.

Never had a bad meal at the Downtowner. The food is always excellent, whether you order one of their steaks, pasta, pizza, or anything else, and the prices are very reasonable. The wait staff are kind, efficient, and very helpful. It's a great place to go before a hockey game at the Xcel, or just for a good meal.

It was my birthday, January 4th and we were greeted warmly. The server was very pleasant and she sat us at a very comfortable table. We ordered the seafood trio, past, steak and a chicken sandwich. The food came out at a reasonable time and was delicious. Since it was my birthday, the server brought me out a delicious creme' bulee. This restaurant has a great ambiance and I highly recommend it!!! The prices are also reasonable for the service and food that you receive. I will definitely be back!!!

Didn't realize that this is the hotel bar. However, after finding some easy on-street parking, our group welcomed a quiet place to gather and share some interesting non-overpriced food and non-stingy drinks before seeing a show at the Ordway. Service was perfect.
