I have to downgrade this review to just one star because I just had the chili and it was horrible!…read more To even call it chili is an insult to chili everywhere. The 4th ingredient is water, and it was indeed very, very watery with no chili flavor whatsoever. (And who puts water in chili to begin with?? There shouldn't be water anywhere near a pot of chili!) The beef and pork must have been boiled in the water raw because it had absolutely no meat flavor, as if it hadn't been browned first at all. I threw it out. Disgusting!

My whole family loves it when i order food from LR as they can't get enough of their favorites. For my 10 year old it is the hot wings, the 2 year old loves the mashed potatoes and my 5 year old has eaten a whole container of spaghetti sauce with meatballs-as she says it is the bestest! The food is always the best quality and is definitely made from scratch with only the freshest ingredients. I love that it is locally grown products and organic when available. I would recommend Local Roots, and have done so, to anyone I meet.

But man o' man, the meat lovers sammy here fed me for three solid days. I was tempted to go weight it before eat; it must weight almost 3 pounds. Though relatively expensive to other sandwiches elsewhere, and taking a little longer (because they actually cook it to order), it's worth it. There's no meaner sammy in the Twin Cities.

Whoa man. Talk about good eatin! I had the opportunity to check out Sal's food truck when I was…read morevisiting St. Paul this past winter and I kept going back to the window to try more! First of all, they serve what amounts to a salad on a bun and they call it a Caprese Slider. This basically consists of a nice thick slice of tomato, slices of fresh mozzarella, and basil drizzled with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar. What a juicy, refreshing bite! It was so tasty I didn't mind the tomato dripping down my chin. Word of advice: order this if you don't care whether you drip on your clothes and ask for extra napkins. The taste is worth the mess. There's also a chicken slider and a meatball slider. Let's talk about the meatballs. I was surprised by the salami and provolone bits mixed with the ground beef and pork, they added a delicious saltiness and I was so impressed I've started playing with my own meatball recipe at home (hmmm...broccoli meatballs? Eggplant meatballs? Risotto meatballs?) for now I'll just get my fix at Sals truck. Do not, whatever you do, walk away without finishing off your meal with either the Nutella filled ravioli or the Zeppole (Italian donuts). Can't wait to go to the twin cities again and hunt this gem of a food truck down.

I got to try some at an event and decided to track some more down. You can order them for delivery in the Twin Cities area, or buy them in person at the Brooklyn Park Dragon Star Supermarket. They have specific plans to sell in more locations and at more events, but I'll probably get them delivered again when this order runs out. I always keep my freezer stocked up on dumplings from Asian grocery stores; these are so much better than what I usually buy. They are plump and flavorful, made by hand from very good, very fresh ingredients. I love being able to taste the discrete vegetables, especially the celery. These are definitely a little more expensive than a typical big sack from the frozen section, but you'll notice how much better they are.

It's wayyyy healthier and tastier than any of the other frozen dumplings I can find on the market. Just by taste, you can tell that the dumplings are made of non-greasy, high quality meats and vegetables, without MSG, and other artificial additives. My favorite flavor is the shrimp and cabbage, my husband loves the pork and chive, my kids love chicken and organic corn.

I came for the…read moreelotes since they advertise themselves as "elotes central" but they also offer ice cream and many Mexican snacks. For elotes, they offer a dizzying number versions, including in a cup, on the cob, coated with Takis or Cheetos, and served on top of nachos. I went with the classic version - on the cob with mayo, cheese and chili powder. The elote came out in 90 seconds on a stick, which is good since it came out piping hot. The flavors were great, especially since they used chili powder instead of Tajin, which gives a sour taste. I do wish the corn was grilled or roasted instead of boiled. I'll probably stick with outdoor corn places in the summer since I love the texture of roasted or grilled corn, but this is a good winter option.

I love Sushi-Rittos, and who doesn't enjoy Hot Cheetos. I am a fan of anything spicy. We ordered, and asked to get one without Avocado. They were quickly made, and handed to us, the server noted which was the no avocado for us. We took a few bites and it was good. The hot Cheetos gave it a nice little kick, but wasn't as spicy as I was hoping. The filling included a spicy mayo, but I didn't feel it was that spicy at all. If I had hot sauce on hand I would have added some more, but I didn't, so I couldn't. The Ritto itself was good, and if given the opportunity, I would get it again, however idk if I'd go out of my way to get it. The service was wonderful, and the owners were very nice to work with. I do have a 10% off from checking in on Yelp, so maybe I'll use that next time. 1 Sushi-Ritto is $14 + Tax. With the BOGO 1/2 Off our total was $22 and some change. Kind of a lot for something 'special', that turned out to be not that special. Overall, I'm going to give it 4-Stars. It was a little better than okay, but there is still room for a lot of improvement if they wish to continue to succeed in my opinion.

(((Moons Kitchen))) The Hmong Village is a huge Warehouse full of textiles and trinkets and amazing Goods that are generally Vietnamese but also from all parts of the world. And at one end of this massive Warehouse of goodies and delights is this enormous endless row of magical food places which are serving everything from Pho to fake Chinese food to fake Japanese food to Korean food and even some real Chinese and Japanese to go with the Thai and the Filipino and a little bit of everything such as Laotian and Cambodian - but definitely heavy on the Vietnamese stuff as is the expectancy. The sad thing is that people on Yelp haven't really made a dent into these yet as I came here and noticed that probably only three or four of the 30 or 40 food places in this massive Market have even been put on Yelp yet. I've now put them all on Yelp and will be working my way through them each time I visit Saint Paul until I have put up pix of various dishes at each one. But if you live around here and you come here more regularly than I do, what's your excuse? Give all of these places a try! Put them on the map! Figure out which ones are the true hidden gems! Why go to Ye Olde Basic Brewery yet again for yet another pale ale and yet another microbrew craft beer and some more freaking Mozzarella Sticks. You can come here and do what Yelp is really all about which is trying new things and putting little places like this on the map.
