I decided to get a pastrami and a pulled pork sandwich to go. The kid behind the counter actually heated up the two meats in a pan, I thought that was a nice touch. The lady was very nice and served it to me with a smile. I got 4 elk burgers to grill and I have had two. They are kind of gamey in a nice way and super lean. I will add some salt and pepper to it when I grill it up tonight. I might even add a slice of pepper jack to add a little fat to the meal. It went well with a nice side salad and some zucchini sticks. This place was a great small town meat market and there was a vegetable stand in the parking lot and I got some great cherry tomatoes.

In the heart of Osakis on a adorable lined street you will find this Bakeri. They have a fridge full of lefse and it is a MUST! I bought 7 packages for myself and family and every single one of us agreed it was the best we had ever had. One might argue it rivals the fresh off the griddle lefse we make every christmas. The shop is filled with other Minnesota and Norwegian finds. Anything from sweatshirts to cooking materials there are lots of finds. They have some other bakery items but I didn't purchase them. They also offer lefse to buy that they will butter or fill with other fillings for you if you don't feel up to buying a whole pack.

Everyone we talked to was really friendly, helpful, and quick with the service. It was right after they opened on a weekday so they weren't too busy. The taproom is fashioned like a viking longhouse and the layout is great for big get-togethers. Not to mention the sprawling campus with gorgeous views. The beer was all pretty solid. Nothing to warrant a trip by itself, but I enjoyed all of them. The Margherita is always my litmus test for a pizza joint and they delivered! The crust was light and airy, really flavorful, and the charring was perfect. The sauce was bright, mozzarella fresh, and the basil (correctly) added after the bake. The pretzel was just as well done. Really fluffy with a crisp crust and just the right amount of chew. Their rotating specialty pizzas all sound amazing so you know next time I'm in the area I'll stop in for a pretzel, pizza, and a few tasters.

Okay, as a Southern California native I love authentic Mexican cooking. So whenever I go to a…read moreplace, my my signature test is to order the carnitas. But let's get into that in a minute. This place is conveniently located next to about five or six motels and hotels, so it makes for a perfect venue for a unique dinner spot. From an exterior standpoint. The place looks great, and has plenty of parking. There are a couple major potholes in the parking lot that could have been fixed but that's a small thing. On the inside, lots of wooden booths and a very festive Hispanic atmosphere. I really enjoy the sombreros hanging from the sides of the booth, as well as the paintings on the wall. From a visual standpoint. This looked like it was going to be a great meal. The waitress came and took my order. She seemed very frightened and standoffish. Now I'm a big guy. I get that, but I'm not that intimidating. But she made zero eye contact and couldn't really answer my questions that I had as her English was not that good. Regardless, I went ahead and ordered the carnitas plate and a water. The food came back pretty quick, and the plate looked appetizing, the refried beans were sort of orange which I wasn't super crazy about, but you know hey, sometimes these things happen. Happen. They were tasty. On a side note, they brought chips and salsa, the chips were fairly bland and the salsa was sort of pedestrian. Didn't really have much spice to it at all. The carnitas itself was well cooked, but had almost zero flavor to it. They smother it in onions, and that helped. But you know as well as I do that. When carnitas is cooked right, it is a mouthful of flavor. On the plate it also came with rice. The refried beans, a little spoonful of guacamole and some Pico de gallo. I ordered the flour tortillas as I wanted to make three larger tacos, which I did. To be honest, the only thing that saved the day was the hot sauce on the table. Adding that to the carnitas actually gave it some flavor and worked out pretty well. Bottom line? If I'm ever back this way again, I don't think I will be stopping here. I did not try any of the other things on the menu but the one I had was just pretty average. Your mileage may vary.

Had some time; hate McD's, etc. as it turned out, probably cheaper to eat at Los Mariachis. I believe every employee that could talk to me did talk to me...promptly...and asked what I needed or how the food was. Splendid! This was lunch, so I ordered the enchilada, Flaute, Taco combo for $9.50. Each element was perfect for an authentic Mexican restaurant! With their menu, great food and prices, it will definitely be a go to for me in the future! Alexandria, wake up! We will be back...often.

As soon as we walk in, my gf had an old coffee cup that she needed to throw out, so she tossed it in the garbage inside, what we believed to be the owner said "What's in that?

I'll also add that I've never ever made a review before and this was the first time I've ever felt compelled to write a review, was just very disappointed by how she treated my gf today.
