This restaurant is tucked in an not so easy to spot location but don't be deterred. It's staffed by what I assume is the family that runs the place and on both occasions we were treated very well. It's a cozy atmosphere, it doesn't feel like you need to be all dressed up to fit in. Now the food. My wife and I have been here twice. Once for lunch last week and tonight for dinner. On both occasions the food was outstanding. We were treated by a combination of fresh ingredients, a chefs eye towards delicious flavor profiles, great execution, and fair prices. Certainly keen to come back. I'd recommend the ceviche for an appetizer and if you're feeling spicy ask for the house hot sauce. It's a roasted habanero and it's awesome. For lunch I had the shrimp tacos and they were great also. I feel like I'm gushing here, but the rack of lamb and scallops were both also amazing dinner entrees as well. Lastly, every desert we've had has been tasty as well. read more

Cahill Bistro is one of my favorite restaurants in the Twin Cities, and for good reason! The food, the service, and the ambience are five stars across the board. Owned and operated by three brothers, this family-owned restaurant serves incredible Ecuadorian and Mexican-inspired dishes. If you visit, you'll most likely be greeted and served by one of the owners, who treat you like family--wholesome and genuinely high-quality hospitality without doing too much. The service provided and the love poured into the food are comparable to none. I've frequented this restaurant several times, throughout several years, and I've never had a bad experience or a bad meal. Some of my favorite dishes here include: - Empanadas de Carne or Vegetariana: Beef or vegetable empanadas. These empanadas are pan-fried corn dough, stuffed with your choice of tender, juicy, perfectly cooked braised beef or fresh vegetables. The empanadas are served on a bed of roasted tomato salsa and crema casera. The crispiness and warmth of the empanadas, combined with the tanginess of the sauces, make this dish my absolute favorite. If you're undecided in the appetizer section, this would be the one thing I would absolutely make sure you order. - The guacamole is made with fresh avocado, tomato, onion, cilantro, roasted tomato, salsa, and served with crispy corn chips. It is one of their top-selling items as it is made fresh to order, and absolutely delicious as such. - The shrimp ceviche is another favorite! Made with a blend of tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, and citrus juice, this ceviche is both juicy and packed with tons of flavor. It's the perfect light and refreshing appetizer. - The Tostones and fried yucca, each crispy and crunchy, are also excellent options for sharing or nibbling solo before your main dish. - The Carne Asada is one of my go-to lunches when I visit. Overnight, marinated steak is grilled to perfection and served with achiote (yellow, seasoned) rice, black bean purée, French fries, and a small house salad. It's good comfort food cooked with love and an incredible amount of - The Lomo saltado dish is sautéed beef tips that are very tender, rich, and flavorful. The combination with the red onions, bell peppers, and tomatoes is sensational. Paired with an achiote (yellow, seasoned) rice that waters your mouth, as well as a side house salad served with a tangy lime vinaigrette that will blow you away. - The Mexican Tres leches is my absolute favorite version! I've tried several, not all, across the Twin Cities, and this is always easily my favorite. A homemade cake soaked with a blend of three milks, whipped cream, caramel chocolate, and topped with crispy coconut flakes. This dessert is decadent as it is delicious. In addition to these dishes, Cahill Bistro offers happy hour Sunday-Thursday from 3:00-5:30pm with specials on appetizers and drinks. They also have daily soup specials and brunch on Saturdays. Cahill Bistro has consistently won multiple awards for best Latin American food in the Twin Cities, and for me, there is no debate about that. Cahill Bistro is my #1! read more

The owner greeted us at the door! Super friendly guy. He stopped what he was doing, and escorted us in the door and to a table. Our food came quickly. The refills were plentiful, and the service was attentive. My friend had a wedge salad, which he said was fantastic. I had a bowl of lentil soup. Boy was it good. We also shared an order or roasted brussels sprouts with balsamic and bacon. Wow - so darn tasty. I'd recommend this place to anyone. read more

Wonderful local and family owned restaurant that offers a Latin-inspired menu serving for weekend brunch, lunch, and dinner. You can tell that the owners truly care about Cahill Bistro with fresh flowers at each table, truly homemade food and wholesome ingredients, and super friendly service. I got the Chips and Guacamole as an appetizer and it was super yummy and the guacamole was very fresh, which I loved. For my main I got the Tacos de Carne with beef, which featured steak with red onion, cilantro, jalapeño, and homemade avocado tomatillo salsa. These tacos are phenomenal and I would return and order exactly the same thing. I highly recommend a visit to Cahill Bistro and I absolutely will be returning again and again! read more

We went for lunch, and I got the walleye (5/5), which was great! It had a nice, crunchy crust and wonderful flavor. The mashed potatoes and asparagus were also excellent! For only $15, it was an incredible value! We also got the salmon tacos, and they were also fantastic (5/5)! The service was also amazing (5/5)! The staff were very friendly, and we got the food and check all quickly! The interior of the restaurant is very well decorated too (5/5)! Overall, I am excited to come back! read more

Unique, creative and more authentic food. Staff was excellent. Neighborhood treasure.

The food that was carefully and lovingly prepared at this restaurant tastes like an ancestral dish made by caring hands and seasoned to perfection. The service was attentive and helpful. We had three courses and all three blew us away with deliciousness. The decor is simple, clean and comfortable. I don't live in the area, but if I did, I would visit this lovely restaurant often. Highly recommended. read more

I've eaten dinner here before and the food is always good! This is an Ecuadorian-style bistro owned by 2 brothers - one is front of the house and the other is the chef. I had a business lunch, and based on reviews, we both ordered the Lomo Saltado, sauteed beef tips with red onion, tomatoes, bell peppers, served with achiote rice and balsamic greens. The food is always delicious and plentiful enough that I didn't need dessert. Note: the ambiance is a bit loud for a business luncheon with their tile floors that could use some sound reducing materials on the walls that would make this place great! read more

I am lucky. I've spent a week (7 nights in the hospital) at Mayo and surgeons removed many NET tumors. 2 nights ago I arrived home having not eaten nor even much hydration. Tonight I put on some loose pants, loose shirt, slippers and made my way to an amazing local bistro - Our Cahill Bistro. While some may poo-poo the ambiance, it's in an older strip mall...the proveyors are brothers, and it's a family affair. My wife and I were able to briefly celebrate 36 years of marriage, and never had to worry about the food. It is amazing. From the salad that we shared, to my walleye and my wife's scallops - every bite was divine. My stomach isn't prefect yet - so my diet is fairly limited. And appetite not quite 100%. But the food (taste, preparation, portions, temperature, etc.) is beautiful. Thanks to my neighborhood bistro. Thanks Cahill Bistro! I am lucky. read more

The service was top notch with a family-like feel. The restaurant was clean and cozy. We were a group of seven and ordered many dishes. They offer gluten free calamari as an appetizer, which was unheard of until now. My son had the rack of lamb, which was the best tasting that I have tried. The carne asada was also very tasty. No dished lacked flavor. This place is definitely worth a visit. read more

The staff was SO friendly. Happy hour has good prices and the food on the happy hour is delicious for a good price. Feels a little bit like a "hole in the wall" establishment. But in the best way! Met friends there and there's plenty of room for parking. We all split many of the apps on happy hour menu and it was plenty of food. Also got the empanadas and would recommend those over all the other items because they're so good! read more

What an unexpected surprise! I had previously heard about this spot and read some reviews awhile back, but I had no idea what I had been missing. My wife and I decided to finally give the Cahill Bistro a try a few weeks ago and boy, oh boy! The restaurant is located in a super unassuming spot in a strip mall type setting that made me think twice that maybe I had arrived at the wrong place when we first pulled up. Upon entering the door, it felt welcoming and looked pleasantly nice, but not overly gaudy or garish. The menu options were plentiful and therefore, we had many entree selections to choose from. Most everything looked so tempting and interesting. Service was welcoming and impeccable and everything starting from our first bites of our salads to our main dishes, and throughout dessert was delicious and perfectly prepared. Speaking of desserts, their Tres Leches cake was hands down, the best rendition of that dessert that I've ever tasted. I am so grateful that we experienced this hidden gem. We now plan to make it into a regular stop on our favorite dining list! Do yourself a huge favor and check it out for yourself. I promise that you'll thank me later and that you won't be disappointed! read more

Been a few times now everything is always excellent. Love to supports this local restaurant.

We love this place! Been here several times and it's consistently good! The food is flavorful, not too salty and not too bland - always a great balance, no matter what we have ordered. We have ordered a bunch of things here - I'll try to include pictures next time! The service is always attentive, kind, and prompt. They're a sweet family owned restaurant. It's a very casual, chill type of vibe in the space. Plenty of seating, and we've generally been able to make reservations and get seated quickly. It's a favorite. Would love to be back again soon! read more

The menu was a little bit confusing because I wasn't sure if this was an Italian restaurant or a Mexican restaurant since both cuisines were represented on the menu. Either way, the food (the chips and guac, the empanadas, and the lobster pasta) were fantastic. My favorite item was the chips and guacamole...wow it was delicious. The chips were warm and fresh and the guacamole was so flavorful and seasoned well. The lobster pasta was delicious too. There was a decent amount of lobster for the dish. I wish there was some sort of bread to help sop up the delicious sauce which would have made this a perfect meal. It's a pretty casual ambience, but it has an upscale menu. The service was also really good. read more

I don't even know where to begin--let's just start with this: absolutely fantastic! Don't hesitate to dine at this wonderful restaurant. From the moment my wife and I walked in, we were greeted warmly and seated promptly in the middle of the bustling dining room. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, filled with families enjoying themselves while the attentive staff moved quickly between tables. Despite the crowd, service was impressively smooth. We began with a glass of Pinot Noir (California) and a Delas wine (Italian), along with an order of Empanadas De Carne. The wine arrived within minutes, followed shortly by the appetizer--and wow, the empanadas were mouthwatering! The crispy shell, the perfectly seasoned meat and vegetables--it was a flavor explosion. I instantly wished we had ordered eight more, and honestly, I was tempted to get some to-go. For our main courses, we chose the Filete De Lomo and the Achiote Chicken. The descriptions sounded promising, and the dishes more than delivered. As we sipped our wine and tried to ignore our kids' nonstop texts (any other parents relate?), our meals arrived--and the presentation was stunning. My Filete was perfection. The sauce paired with the tender steak so beautifully that each bite felt like a masterpiece. I didn't want it to end! I restrained myself from licking the plate... barely. My wife's Achiote Chicken was just as impressive--rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. No wonder she wouldn't share more than one bite! Of course, we had to end the night with dessert. We ordered the Tres Leches and the Flan--because diets can wait. The short wait was worth every second. The Tres Leches was moist, layered, and absolutely divine, while the Flan was so creamy and delicious that I joked about wanting to take a bath in it. Yes, it was that good. I couldn't resist licking the plate clean. Congratulations, Cahill Bistro! You've earned a spot on my best restaurants list. You completely won us over, and we'll definitely be back for more! read more

Went here for a date night with my husband on a Friday night. It was surprisingly empty, based on the rave reviews found here. The place is very tucked away in a strip mall, sort of behind another business. The ambiance is definitely casual, with a couple of tables out front to eat outside of you prefer. One couple was there enjoying the warm spring weather with their dog, so the place is dog friendly outside. The inside is what you might expect in a strip mall restaurant, with some nice touches, like pretty plants and real flowers in vases on the tables. The service was friendly and welcoming - you can tell its a family run business, with everyone helping out. We ordered a drink for me- a spicy mango margarita, which was SO fun and good. For appetizer, we ordered the tostones- not to be missed! Large portion of smashed and fried rounds of plantains, with chimichurri and a lemon aoili sauce that was different and so yummy! We decided to share a large wedge salad and because of one rave review, we tried the Lomo Saltado for our entrée, which is a beef tips and bell peppers dish. The salad was good, with lots of blue cheese and bacon, and the Lomo Saltado was pretty good - tender beef, but cut up beey small, which wasn't what I'd expected. The staff kindly split the food on separate plates, so keep that in mind when looking at my photos. Overall, I would say this place is a bit of a hidden gem - definitely worth coming back again for the drinks and tostones! read more

The service is great, they are family friendly and they have the fun bendy straws. They even offered one to my SO. The food is really good. The lemonade got a thumbs up. The calamari is in a corn meal crust and that is always my favorite crust. The kids cheese burger gets two thumbs up. I had the scallops and my SO had the salmon, all really good. The ambiance is chill, jeans and a shirt. The crowd is a little older. Okay I had to come back to update on dessert! Tres leches cake is so good! Flan is also good but the cake! read more

This place came highly recommended from a fellow yelper, and it did not disappoint. We had great food, with great service from Carlos and nicepy sized portions. If you don't know about this spot, you can easily miss it passing by the strip mall. Appetizers: We shared the Yucca fries and the Vegetarian Empandas. Entrees: I had the shrimp tacos with a side of lentil soup, and they had the rack of lamb. I could not resist the dessert menu, and Carlos did not make it easy to turn down as he suggested the Mexican Tres Leches. After giving in, I saw why he raved about it. The cake was nice and light. read more

Found Cahill Bistro online while searching for place to take grandson on his 21st birthday. He is GF and this bistro offers a cadre of GF entrees to choose from, but t the decision to go there was based on their unheard of rating of 4.9 on 334 reviews. It should come as no surprise that the food and service were worthy of that rating. As a birthday surprise they served grandson a complimentary dessert, when server discovered dessert was not GF she brought him one that was. Like the staff the bistro was warm, comforting and inviiting considering its locale. Highly recommend Cahill Bistro. You cannot go wrong by choosing to dine there. This has become our go to place for a fine dining experience. read more

I have been wanting to try this place based on the excellent reviews of yelpers! The location is not what you'd expect. It's located in a quiet strip mall behind some apartments. It feels like a ma and pa cafe when you walk in. Although we did make reservations, it was not busy for a Wednesday night and it was seat yourself. We started off with the beef empanadas. They are beautifully presented with the sour cream drizzle over the tops. You get three of them total. I wished the dough was a little softer and flakier. It seemed like they were fried a little too long. They were great flavor either way! Our entrees were the highlights of the meal. The lomo saltado and rack of lamb were superb! The lomo saltado had a savory saucey taste that we just couldn't get enough of. The rack of lamb had a nice chimichurri sauce over it. The chimichurri sauce was a little strong on the parsley but it still combined well with the tender rack of lamb meat. We ended it with the tres leche cake that was recommended by our server. We enjoyed our experience here. The dishes are high quality and presented beautifully but the ambience is causal which I love. The prices are very affordable as well! Go check it out, you won't be disappointed! read more

Wife and I went to dinner on July 3rd. I had the special ribs and corn and slaw. It was wonderful for dinner, and I took a good portion home.

Food, people, service... Thank you read more

Came here for brunch and we are so glad we did! This place is located in a strip mall but don't judge a book by its cover, the inside is nice and cozy! We were greeted right away and the service was super friendly the entire time. We started off with sangria and a mimosa, both yummy. Then we had beef empanadas to share- it had really well seasoned beef and a tasty salsa on top. I ordered the lomo saltado, which is sautéed beef tips with red onions, tomatoes, & belle peppers served with rice, salad and fried yuka. I absolutely loved it! It was so flavorful and fresh. My friend ordered the chilaquiles- she thought it was delicious, especially the seasoned potatoes. We will be back! read more

Quaint little interior tucked away in a small, off the beaten path strip mall. The inside is much classier than you'd assume from the exterior. Service was extremely friendly from the first touch to the very last! You can tell they take pride in everything they do and care extremely about this place. The empanadas were outstanding. Great flavor, a bit of heat, and plentiful. The lomo saltado was good, but lacked a bit on the flavor. In addition, it was a small quantity of beef even for a lunch portion. Truly, this was the only thing that detracted from a potential 5-star. I'd say it's very close though and probably a near 4.5 for the sum of its parts. read more

Small, and great ambience the food was absolutely fantastic and service was great too. Thank you for making a small restaurant so wonderful!

So glad this restaurant has become a go to in our neighborhood! What a treat that we have such amazing service and food in this little unsuspecting location, with a casual outdoor patio and spacious indoor dining. Make sure to start with the sangria and an ensalada andina. Even if you don't like salad, you must try this! It's so fricken fresh and I crave it weekly. I would buy the dressing in buckets if I could. Next, try the empanadas; they have vegetarian or beef, we had beef. Flavor is great, texture is perfect, hot and fresh. For your main, honestly you can't go wrong. I've heard amazing things about the lobster pasta, walleye, scallops, and honestly never heard anything negative. MAKE SURE to have dessert. I'm not a restaurant dessert person but my family had me try the tres leches cake. OMG. to die for. If you're stuffed after your meal, take it to go and munch on it later -- you won't regret it. I love grabbing this salad or dessert for a quick takeout fix, and it's always so pleasant talking on the phone and it's like you're family when you're in the store picking up!! Highly recommend. read more
