Kind of an odd but cute food court that houses a couple fast casual restaurants and a bar. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful! The vibes of the place made it a great place to relax. We enjoyed our crunchwraps. They were filling and tasty. The food is a tad expensive, but it's not a bad option if you're looking for a slightly elevated version of a fast-food crunchwrap. read more

Stopped here for lunch on a snowy Saturday. I've always heard good things about them. First I have to say parking in this area especially in the winter is the WORST. Very nostalgic vibes when you walk in with the different phones displayed on the wall as well as the colors and patterns on the walls. The art was interesting too. They have 2 kiosk to place your order. The place is super small with 4 tables and some bar seating. I did dine in. It wasn't too busy but they had consistent customers come in for takeout. I ordered the chicken bacon pocket (w/out bacon), waffle fries, fountain drink & 2 sauces (seasoned sour cream & the special sauce). The pocket was good. I just kind of wish it had some kind of crunch. Next time I'll definitely order it with chips vs fries. The wrap was very filling! I couldn't even finish it with the fries. The seasoned sour cream was pretty basic and didn't taste very seasoned but the other sauce was really good. I accidentally ordered 2 seasoned sour creams. They give you a generous serving of sauce. I didn't have much interaction with staff as they just drop off the food. I for sure want to come back and check out some of the other options. read more

Yum! This is some tasty food. Especially good for a night on which we didn't know what to get. There were a lot of varieties of flavors of what is essentially a crunch wrap. We tried the Chicken Bacon Ranch and the OG. Both are delicious. And the fries were quite good too. The place itself is tiny. Just a few seats. So it's more of a take out kind of place. Ordering is done at a large screen. The also have some nice seating on the sidewalk just outside. I'm really happy to have this place in the neighborhood. read more

Came here because it was a place open late for food. My friend and I split the OG pocket which is like a quesadilla filled with ground beef, queso, tomato, lettuce, and cheese. The meal was good but it definitely needed some more salt. I typically cook low sodium at home so this didnt bother me. Do not skip out on the fries!!!! They are super crispy with an AMAZING seasoning. We dipped it in a side of ranch that was a great combination. I'd definitely come back here again. The interior is decorated well with eclectic pictures and a wall of phones from different eras. I chuckled thinking to myself how a lot of kids may not know what a corded phone looks like. Its a small space but fun. read more

Hippo Pockets - OG pocket - Tex-Mex Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Hippo Pockets - Minneapolis This place is a unassuming hotspot in south Minneapolis! The food? Absolutely crave-worthy. I tried the Chicken Bacon Ranch Hippo Pocket and the Gyro with tzatziki--both were bursting with flavor and wrapped in perfectly crispy tortillas. You can tell they put real thought into their fillings and sauces. The atmosphere at Hippo Pockets is effortlessly upbeat and inviting. There's a cozy little patio that's perfect for soaking up sunshine with a cold drink in hand, and the whole place radiates that laid-back charm that makes you want to stay longer than you planned. One quirky highlight? The phone tribute wall. It's a nostalgic masterpiece--and I'm slightly ashamed (but mostly proud) to say I've used more than half of the models on display. Now, the only hiccup: the space is a bit tight, especially during peak hours. And the ordering system could use a little streamlining--it's not immediately obvious how to get started, especially for first-timers. But once you figure it out, the staff is quick and super friendly. All in all, Hippo Pockets is a must-visit for anyone who loves bold great flavors and a fun, casual atmosphere. Just come hungry and maybe a little patient! read more

What's faster than running? SPRINT to this place!! Parking: Street parking, it was free though! This is a smaller place with some indoor tables and a couple outdoor tables. I decided to take my meal to go! The decor here is fun and playful! The service was top notch! It took about 10 minutes to get my order and the staff were very friendly and upbeat! The food: I got the Birria pocket! It came stuffed with meat! So good! The consume was flavorful and an excellent addition! I also got the s'mores dessert pocket. The cherry filling with this is not over powering and was a very tasty mix of flavors! DEFINITELY give this place a try!! read more

Checked out this new place in south Minneapolis. The place is small. They have a few small tables inside and some set out on the sidewalk. They were busy, which I expected since they are relatively new. I ordered the gyro pocket. It was tasty but maybe could have used a little more meat and less lettuce. I'm happy I ordered the Tiziki sauce on the side. My husband got the zzaza pocket. Again, it was good but it could have used more sauce in it or a marinara dipping sauce. He said that it sometimes felt like he was just eating bites of pepperoni. Fries were delish. Idk if I would go back but it's a fun thing to try. And say you've been there. read more

It was my first time visiting hippo pockets! We did a to go order. There is limited seating at this location, but the pockets are easy anywhere. I tried the original pocket that has been compared to the Taco Bell crunch wrap. It was amazing!! Way better than Taco Bell! I can't wait to go back and try the other flavors! read more

This little spot is fantastic! I've been there twice now and the food and service have been great. I have tried the birria and the royale. Both cooked perfect and packed with flavor and so filling. The waffle fries are good, but the real star are all the dips you can order. They are all homemade and amazing. Try the ranch if you like dill, the seasoned sour cream is so good and the special sauce. Mmmmm. It's super small with only 4 or so tables. The music playlist is always good and they have a cute little phone wall. The mural in the bathroom with bring you back to the 80's. read more

Decided to check this place out after seeing multiple good reviews on social media. The inside is a fun space. Small, but cool vibe. We ordered to go. The food tastes amazing, but a whole wrap was missed from my order. No Original included, and by the time we got home and I unpacked the items my kids wouldn't have wanted to drive back to correct the error. This is the reason for the 3stars. The cook in back seemed a little overwhelmed with DoorDash orders coming in so this probably was the reason, but still left me disappointed. read more

A great fast way to satiate your hunger! Delicious empanada like pockets with very tasty fillings! There's even a vegetarian option! I ordered mine through DoorDash and ate it at the convenience of my home. Will definitely try this again! read more

Saw Hippo Pockets on Tiktok, and I knew I HAD to try. The restaurant had an 80s vibe with it with lots of colorful walls, decor, and lighting. You just order on a device and they bring the food to you. I ordered the Birria pocket. It came super quick in less than 5 minutes. Man was it stuffed. I could not finish it because of how big it was. It was super yummy, but unfortunately the cheese was cold and wasn't melted. I wanted the food to be steaming hot like my friends pocket she ordered. Lastly, the restaurant was FREEZING!!! I had to wear my winter coat while eating. I would come back and order the pizza pocket in the future. read more

I saw this place come up on our social media and knew I had to check it out! My boyfriend and I got the cheesesteak and filet-o-fish pickets and they were yummy! If I could describe what it reminded us of is like a Taco Bell Crunchwrap or a quesadilla but with a fusion vibe. The restaurant had a cool and funky aesthetic and standard service. Overall, glad we went and tried it out! read more

Great for late night. Some are much better than others. Favorites include the Philly cheesesteak and the burger

Had the "Original" this week at U.S. Bank Stadium. Pretty good flavors, a tiny kick of spice, and filling! It was good, but we liked the "Minidelphia" one from last week better. SKOL read more

We have tried a variety of pockets and have liked them all. My husband's favorite is the Royale--their version of a Big Mac-- and I liked the Cuban. It was so big that I saved the other half for lunch the next day and it heated up great on the griddle. We would recommend the one that's like a taco, also. read more

Such a great addition to the neighborhood! Open until 12am - finally a late night neighborhood food option and it's amazing! Tried the chicken bacon ranch - delicious! Great fun vibe to dine in. Will be back again and again and again.... read more

What a gem. We've done take out and dine-in and had great experiences both times. Lots of fun options; it's hard to choose. Portions are maybe a little too big, but that's hardly a complaint! Hopefully this place can thrive in what seems to be a bit of a cursed location. read more

Friendly, welcoming service. Cute decor. The food was fresh, delicious and remarkable. We ordered a chicken and falafel hippo. Generous size and healthy! I will be back! read more
