    BOWL WITH STEAK
    Emily S.

    Stumbled upon Puralima Cantina when walking through north loop and decided to try them for lunch. Trendy casual dining area with lots of light and cute decor. Build your own burrito, taco or bowl. Lots of fresh ingredients to choose from. They allow for 3 toppings then start up charging for extras. It's hard to narrow down the toppings since they all look so good! I had a chicken bowl and my spouse had a steak bowl. The meat was tender, juicy and nicely seasoned. The other toppings were fresh and flavorful. I'll have to stop here again when I'm in the north loop!

    I ordered PURALIMA for the first time today. I am a lifelong vegetarian and that's always in the back of my mind... this veg bowl was 10/10. Loved it and saving half for dinner. It was even a bit pre-mixed (see my pic) which I love. Thank you Puralima, I'll be back!

    I git this delivered last night and YEUH ok!!! Very fresh ingredients and the steak was actually so good - Not chewy or fatty and had flavor. They season their chips too if you into that and their queso wasn't too salty. New go to for chipotle cravings!!

    Grabbed a late lunch here with a few friends before a concert and it was so delicious! It's a make-line style build your own type of restaurant and the line workers pushed the line through at a good speed. I ordered a steak bowl which had a good ratio of meat to toppings. I wish I could have gotten a margarita, me and one of my friends were bummed because one of the main reasons we came was to try the frozen margaritas. Yet they were out of it completely.. There are also canned seltzers but I opted for a limeade that was tart and refreshing. I was also in awe of the beautiful artwork and snapped a quick pic of my favs.

    Went to Puralima for lunch on a Wednesday and it was poppin'! But after trying it out, now I know why. Parking was a bit tricky because it's north loop and it was during lunch time, but only had to walk a block over. The inside of gorgeous! So colorful, light, and fun. They have a ton of options to choose from: tacos, burritos, salads, bowls, or nachos. I did a build your own chicken bowl with cauliflower and a mix of different toppings. The food was fresh and quite tasty! I will say it's a bit more on the pricey side compared to Chipotle or Qdoba, but I'd pay for the quick service and fresh ingredients. I'll definitely go back to try out a few other things. Also, try their homemade limeades!

    Cute, cute, cute! Imagine if Chipotle was decorated by a Real-housewife or some other fun stylish person! Chandeliers, colorful material around the pillars, and I am here for it all. But let's talk about the food.. I love the unique toppings, just kicking myself that I did t try the pineapple pico de gallo, I guess there is always next time! The chips and guacamole were great; both fresh and flavorful. One negative is that it is on a busy street in the North Loop, so you will need to hunt for street parking to pick up your burrito.

    This might be my new favorite spot to fix my chipotle needs. Meat selections are juicy and tender, toppings are all cooked individually and seasoned well. Sauces are unique AND packs some heat. Drinks are good, but my bf wouldn't prefer on get the frozen one over the reg. Parking is on the busy street or along side the building. Vibes and music are popping and service was amazing.

    I decided to try Puralima this week when they were running a free entree special on their app! It's right near my work, so I thought it would be the perfect little lunch spot. I ordered ahead, so my to-go order was ready right when I got there at 11:30, which was great. However, there were quite a few people waiting on to-go orders. A friend I was with ordered hers for ASAP about 10 minutes before we left our work to walk over, and we waited there for 5-10 minutes for her food to come out (it had given her a 'ready' time at 11:32). I didn't mind too much because they seemed to be a bit short staffed. The location is beautiful and in a great area of North Loop! It's got super trendy and bright decor, fun merch, and a little flower bar where you can create your own bouquet. I definitely want to come back here for a happy hour with margaritas and chips! Based on other reviews I've seen, it looks like they fixed their portion problem. These are a bit smaller than Chipotle, but I don't mind because I never finish Chipotle - I really felt this was the perfect size for me! Plus, they included a free chips & guac for happy hour before the end of the month which was a fun little surprise. I ordered a steak salad with quite a few toppings. Since I had the free entree, I only had to pay for my additional toppings (about $2 worth) - however, I think they need to include more than 3 toppings for their price. If I had paid for this, my little salad would've been about $15 - and at that rate I would go down the street to C&G for a larger salad. Good news is, this salad was absolutely delicious! The steak was so tender and flavorful and the vinaigrettes really brought all the flavors together. I definitely raved about it to some friends! Overall, I wouldn't be super quick to go back here for a lunch/meal because of the price point, but I will be back to try happy hour!

    I really wish I liked this place but I don't. I just feel like something is always lacking in the bowls, with only 3 toppings included. The meal just feels incomplete. This time I got a steak bowl. Flavors are ok, but to be honest I'd choose chipotle any day over this. Nothing "wrong" with it, just not my cup of tea. Note: I ordered online and the process was pretty easy. Food wasn't ready on the shelf when I arrived so I did wait 5 more minutes. The flower area is a cute touch and fun differentiator.

    Hard shell tacos

    More 3.5 than 4 stars for me. Really good for fast food but falls a tad short of my favorite Twin Cities taco joints. Quac was tasty but way too cold which actually muted the flavors and made it harder to eat, but awesome chips. The meats were not very hot which was disappointing and the burrito a mess to eat. It also was not clear if we needed to bus our own table but we finally found the spot but hard not to make a mess of yourself separating items to be washed and items for disposal.

    A great place to grab a quick meal if you are in the mood for Mexican food. They also have great frozen margaritas! The people that work there are very nice and are passionate about bringing great quality Mexican food to the Twin Cities area. It is also a super cute place to hang out and have a couple drinks with friends.

    A friend brought me here for lunch. Similar to Chipotle, you select your own ingredients in your tacos or burritos. Immediately, the vibes and atmosphere were upbeat and fun. I ordered a cauliflower burrito, which is weird now that I think about it. I did want to try something new. My burrito was bland. I was excited for my limeade because I wanted a refreshing drink, but it was a huge disappointment. It had a bitter aftertaste and it wasn't sweet. Service was good though. Parking is hard to find considering the location and time you go. Thankfully, it was a nice day and we didn't mind the walk.

    I've visited this new Minneapolis spot two times in as many weeks. It is soooo delicious. Management was very attentive to us and all of the workers were busy working hard but also were great hosts to the guests. You walk in, down a small set of stairs, go through the line (similar to a chipotle experience), take a seat and bon appetite! After trying all the margaritas, the classic is my favorite but they are all good. I have no notes. It's a great spot with great food. If I lived closer, I would probably be there multiple times a week

    Meh. It's just like Chipotle, but a bit worse. Less flavor, less toppings. Nothing else to say.

    Ben and Jerry's free ice cream cone day. After hanging out for half an hour with a live DJ,…read moredancing, and ice cream, we were ready for dinner. Priorities. What are we craving? Burgers? Nah. Pizza? Two maybes - plus the asker. Mexican? Again, two maybes. We start scouring possibilities. And come across a pizzaria + taqueria. Ratings at a very respectable 4.5. Curiosities at full peak. Plus it's close. We've got a winner. No guests inside when we arrive. Parking right out front. Before we even decide on an order, however, people start coming in. Several tables fill up within 10 minutes. Amusingly, the first next group grabbed the one curved booth with my full drink bottle still sitting on the table in the middle of them. They migrated to the semi-booth across the dining area. Clearly, the two most desired seating areas in the house. We ordered birria pizza and horchata - we have a tradition of testing the horchata at every next Mexican restaurant we try. This one was mid - not horrible, not great. Just was. We'd ordered a birria pizza recently, elsewhere. It came out as... a birria taco in pizza layout. Tortilla circle, birria middle, tortilla top. Meh. To be fair, that birria pizza was the only pizza item on that menu, so it made sense that their pizza just wasn't pizza-ing. We were hopeful for a very different experience this time. Especially given the very clear emphasis on pizza on this menu. Then the pizza came. Not only did it look glorious, a bowl of birria dip sat in the middle of the pizza, completing the birria experience. And it was absolutely fantastic. The birria, the ratio, the crust - everything was delicious. Except, as my friend pointed out, the horchata. It can't all be perfect, unfortunately. The pizza was so good that when we wrapped up the leftovers, a strip of end crust went in with the rest of the pie. Speaking of, I'm definitely ready to reheat all of that now - update: Awesome reheated. :) Next visit: Chorizo pineapple jalepeño pizza!

    Marsu Pizzeria: The Battle for the Last Slice…read more I walked into Marsu Pizzeria already knowing two things: 1) I was about to have the best pizza of my life. 2) I was going to order way too much food and have no regrets. The place smelled like heaven--garlic, melted cheese, fresh dough. I took a seat, ready to devour a feast. A cheerful employee--let's call him Tony (because let's be real, every good pizzeria has a Tony)--walks up with a confident smile. Tony: "You ready for the best pizza of your life?" Me: "Tony, I've been training for this moment my whole life." I ordered the house special pizza (because if a pizza place has a signature pizza, you ORDER IT), plus some garlic knots, because I respect myself. The food came out fast, hot, fresh, and smelling like a dream. As I'm one slice away from food coma territory, I see it. The last slice. The holy grail. The perfect combination of cheese, sauce, and crispy crust, staring at me like it knows it's about to be devoured. Just as I'm reaching for it, Tony slides by the table, nodding at my plate. Tony: "You gonna finish that?" Me: "...I was planning on it, Tony." Tony: "You sure? I mean, we could put it up for auction. Bidding starts at one garlic knot." Me: "Not happening." Tony: "Alright, but just know... if you don't eat it in the next 30 seconds, I legally get to claim it." Now, I don't know what kind of pizzeria law Tony is operating under, but I wasn't about to test it. I stared him dead in the eyes as I picked up the last slice and took the biggest bite possible. Tony (nodding approvingly): "Good choice. That's the kind of hunger we respect around here." Long story short, Marsu Pizzeria has the best pizza, the best vibes, and employees who will absolutely test your commitment to finishing your food. Final score? 10/10 pizza. 10/10 service. 10/10 threats on my last slice.
