Had to come back 11 years later and upgrade this review to 5 stars. Brunch at Hola is one of my…read morefavorites. It's hard for me to stray from the fried chicken and cachapas. The combo of the chicken, cachapa, jalapeño, bacon, egg, and spiced butter is elite. I also had a bite of my friends arroz verde was tasty, and I'm sure the Benedict would be awesome. A new item I tried this time was the potato holas. Omg, these little potato coins were fire!! Loved them with both chimichurri and aioli. Dinner is also great. The last time I went was a couple years ago, but they had a burger on a pap de queijo bun which was quite good. And the nachos, salsas, and of course arepas are always great. This is a true Minneapolis gem!

Really good honestly…read more Then, I ordered food for my wife and that was the chimichuri chicken Arepa and the chicken was basically rotten when I came home. We threw it in the trash and I went to buy food from somewhere else. Fix your chicken you guys. Can't believe you basically gave trash chicken in the arepa to go.

The back patio is a HIDDEN GEM! I almost hate to share for fear of competition…read more Beautiful drinks. Delicious food. Generous portions. Heart-warming birria. Underrated staff. Great happy hour. Unassuming exterior - the inside is amazing - hence hidden gem. My only complaint is the music inside - way too loud, way too annoying. But the back patio is perfect.

Lucky me, I came here with a friend during Restaurant Week who was into splitting plates, so we…read morewere able to sample a variety of food and drinks. For appetizers we chose Elote corn and Queso Fondido. The corn was outstanding. I expected the cheese to be more textured with bits of chorizo, but instead it was creamy, almost béchamel-like, and maybe the chorizo was just in the spicy accompanying sauce? I wasn't a huge fan but my friend was. Then came the entrees. Wow! Beef short rib was the highlight of the meal for me, melt-in-your-mouth tender and served with a super tasty sauce and some greens to lighten the dish. Puerto adobado was an enormous pork shank served with rice, beans, and pickled vegetables, also very tasty. Portions were generous. My friend and I both had to get to-go boxes for our leftovers. We tried the two desserts offered: churros and a cheesecake with berry sauce. I'm generally not a cheesecake fan, but warmed up to this one because of its light texture, almost soufflé-like, and the super-flavorful berry sauce. Churros were hot and crispy, accompanied by hot drinking chocolate for dipping, and more thick, creamy dulce de leche than we could possibly eat. I'm not a big drinker, so I appreciated that they have a fun selection of non-alcoholic cocktails. I had one that came rimmed with Tajin and containing a pineapple popsicle that melted and became part of the drink. Fruity, fun, a little spicy, and moderately priced. Besides the delicious food--at reasonable prices, especially considering the size of the portions, we were impressed by the friendly, helpful staff. The atmosphere is light and pleasant with plenty of windows, interesting art, and comfy seating. You'd have to think hard to picture the space in its original form as a Hardee's...but then again, the owners built their reputation for great food starting in a gas station. The restaurant is easy to get to, with ample parking.

Nice break from larger lunch places. Caribbean feel with Cuban style food…read more For me: Rating of 4 - would definitely go back. Just not a fan of rice or rice & beans as a side. Side other than fries would be nice, but understand the Cuban style with rice, beans, etc. Spouse says 5! Steak tacos were great, but not a meal for someone with a larger appetite. Spouse had the sandwich and that is quite large. She said it was delicious. I smelled the jerked chicken and it wasn't an appetizing smell to me, but just me. Service was very good & friendly! Multiple regulars passing thru and very complimentary while there.

On my last visit in June, my mom and I split the lobster pasta and the summer strawberry salad, and both were absolutely delicious.
