This time I ordered a trio of my favorites, spinach, sweet corn, and wild mushroom. You can tell which empanada is, which by the little baked on code. This time, keeping in the comfort food category, I tried the grilled cheese with a side salad, and it was very very good. The grilled cheese was on Texas toast, and the side salad came with an absolutely delightful dressing. It was a crisp, bright, fresh addition to my meal. Just for fun, I also ordered the flan. I adore flan when it's properly cooked and has just the right amount of caramel sauce and this really hits the spot. Rich and sweet caramel sauce covering a less sweet, custardy flan is an excellent way to end a meal.

It's the whole "oh it's upscale so less is more" concept. And listen, yes, the lamb was amazingly tasty, as were the veggies that came with it. I'm definitely not saying the food wasn't good; it was excellent, it just sorta felt like a rip-off? And the chocolate torte the four of us shared at the end was also REALLY yummy (but $10 for a small slice w/ a scoop of vanilla, so it better be). If you've got money to blow, by all means, but for the majority of us, this ain't it. I was sincerely dubious the moment we drove up. The place is in a hole-in-the-wall run-down strip mall and the parking lot is full of potholes. The Chinese place right beside it looks like they haven't replaced their signage in thirty years, or maybe they're outta business. When we proceeded inside I could tell the owners had done their best to convert a crappy space into something roleplaying as modern and fancy. It felt a little out of place. The ambiance wasn't all that stellar (which is normally not something I much bother commenting on, but again if you're gonna charge thirty bucks a plate, I begin to factor in more nit-picky things like that); there wasn't any music or anything to cover up the perpetual mechanical hum that seemed to emanate from the kitchen? The bathrooms had a similar kind of "gloss" over it. I was unimpressed that the men's was just a unisex stall without a urinal or anything that actually makes it "men's." Like, just convert your two single stall bathrooms into gender-neutral or all-gender (literally all that takes is swapping signage) so people aren't "waiting" for the "correct gendered toilet" when there's zero difference between the two. It's 2026, y'all. We don't need to practice pointless segregation. Service was reasonably quick, food was hot. The server did a good job of keeping up with my in-laws' unslakeable thirst for iced tea. Everyone was polite enough to us. And I appreciated they were open fairly late into the evening on a Tuesday!

I only noticed two servers taking care of everyone, and as busy as it was, I never felt forgotten. Our servers were friendly, efficient, helpful, and very welcoming. The meal was tasty. I got the Lomo Saltado lunch entree. The rice was seasoned lightly but deliciously. The beef included bell peppers and onions which paired nicely with the rice. The salad was supposed to include a vinaigrette, but I didn't notice anything. Nevertheless it was fine, as was the yuca which had a little green coating. The tres Leche was very good, and had a little toasted coconut on top. I would definitely get again.

The search for a Colombian restaurant in the Twin Cities led me to Trópico. It took me a moment to…read morefind it at first, which is something I'd mention to anyone planning a visit. Parking is located along the side of the building rather than directly in front of the restaurant. The space itself is cozy, welcoming guests with vibrant, tropical décor that reflects the rich colors of beautiful Colombia. The service I experienced was amicable as I placed my lunch order to-go. I ordered a few items starting with a blended iced coffee. The cup was lined with arequipe (caramel), then topped with whipped cream and drizzled chocolate sauce. While enjoyable, I found it to be very sweet--more of a dessert-style treat than something I'd reach for as a morning coffee. Not bad by any means, just sweeter than my personal preference. I also ordered the empanadas, which were delicious! Made with traditional corn masa, their texture reminded me of the empanadas I grew up eating. I chose the trio of chicken empanadas, each filled with a chicken and potato mix, excellently seasoned with a familiar Criollo blend, comforting in flavor. For lunch I ordered a grilled chicken bowl, which included rice, black beans, sweet plantains, grilled chicken, avocado, oven-roasted cauliflower, grated queso fresco, and a house-made sauce. This dish was okay but not something I'd likely order again. That said, I genuinely enjoyed the empanadas and the blended coffee enough that I would come back for those, and maybe try something new from the menu.

Just as I was lamenting the lack of good food options here, I came across this empanada stand near my gate. I ordered three empanadas: the chicken, the beef, and the spicy beef. The first two were decent, not bad but nothing special. But the spicy beef empanada is the single best empanada I've had in my life. I know that sounds crazy. But seriously, this random empanada stand at this airport has my favorite empanadas I've ever had. The spicy beef is perfectly seasoned and moist. The outer shell is the perfect crispiness and not too thick. This is now my go-to place whenever I come to this airport in Minneapolis. Obviously not much service or ambiance to speak of since it's next to the airport gate. But my rating is just for the food.

They were also out of everything other than the spicy beef and spicy chicken options. Hoping as they ramp up they can plan better and stock more. Also, the price is pretty expensive, about $7-8 for a very small empanada, but again, I understand it is airport pricing.

Martina is an ace with its bold flavored Argentinian cuisine and relaxing atmosphere. We dined on the patio, but whether you are seated inside or out, the ambiance is adorned with green plants, natural wood, and clean lines for a modern aesthetic that pleases today's diner. The food was a pleasure. The secret to the bold flavors is in the sauce. We started with an order of the grilled bread and a dozen oysters. I'll never say no to raw oysters (even on some occasions when I should have), but these were a great experience. The vinegar sauce served with these was a unique version that when paired with a dash of the shredded horseradish and a squeeze of lemon juice, the oysters were a punch of zingy perfection. The salted, vinegar infused butter that came with the bread elevated the dish. I chose the halibut for my entree and it was lovely (halibut is a win in any format). However, I would highly recommend the ribeye. My son got that and I sampled a piece with the accompanying chimichuri sauce and it was heavenly. The oils chosen to create that sauce were very well thought out so it made for not-your-typical ribeye and lent itself to something flavorfully unique. We want to return! Putting this on our list of faves when in Minneapolis/St Paul.
