    Elote
    Michele M.

    Stopped in for lunch before our tour of Paisley Park. Beautiful ambiance. Great patio area as well although to chilly for us to sit out there. We sat at the bar, and our bartender was wonder and super pleasant. She had great drink ideas for us, as non of us were experts in tequila but felt we needed to respect the name and drink tequila. All her recommendations and what she prepared for us was yummy. The food was good, came out quickly. Reasonable priced for the portions. Totally would frequent them on the regular if lived in the area! We ordered the birra Mac and what a flavor bomb. Got all the birra flavor with tons of oozy cheese! Then we tried the cauliflower taco, smoked chicken and pescado they were delicious, I would definitely go back for that cauliflower taco again and again! Can never go wrong with elote! So good

    A great place to grab some friends and have some fun! We came to tequila Butcher to grab dinner with friends. This restaurant does not disappoint. I ordered the professional which included ribs, brisket and sausage. All of the meats were cooked to perfection and gave the taste profiles that One would want when ordering such a meal. We will definitely be back . Great place with healthy portions

    We had such a great experience at Tequila Butcher in Eden Prairie! I ordered a tequila flight and loved how the server made great substitutions when a few items were out--she really knew her stuff. Even though she seemed to be holding down the fort as bartender, waitress, and server all at once, she worked incredibly hard and never missed a beat. The food was excellent and the portions were huge--definitely above and beyond what we expected. My husband ordered the build-your-own chicken tacos, and it came with what looked like half a chicken--no way he could finish it. Great bang for your buck! The menu seems to be evolving, and it feels like they're fine-tuning their concept, but the flavors are absolutely on point. The manager even stopped by as we were leaving, took photos for us, and encouraged us to share our experience. You can tell they really care about making this place a success and are putting their hearts into it. Next time, we're checking out the speakeasy-turned-tiki bar hidden inside--such a cool concept! With so many tequilas and mezcals still left to try, we'll definitely be back. Highly recommend giving this place a shot if you haven't yet!

    I've been hearing about Tequila Butcher for some time now and was excited to go for Sunday lunch with my family. My first impression that I am pretty sure this was the old Applebees in chanhassen, but the inside was way more aesthetically pleasing than your average Applebees. I'm not sure if we visited on an off day, but for a Sunday lunch we were one of maybe 4 tables in the entire establishment. I was surprised at how dead it was. Either way, the food was alright(everyone said I got the best thing - the French toast), service was good, and there's a loaded Bloody Mary that had all the bells and whistles. Maybe this place is less of a brunch place and more of a happy hour place?

    Obviously a great tequila selection and love the drinks. Food was really good and our server was helpful. I loved the appetizer i had! Pictured below - Anthony

    Mango Salmon, three tacos with chips and salsa and a side of Crispy Brussels

    This has to be the best restaurant I've ever been to! I've been to Gordon Ramsay's restaurants in London and this tops that! Everything was amazing. I got three tacos, the chicken Tinga and two Baja fish tacos. My wife loves Brussels sprouts so she had those as a side. She said they were to die for. Amazing tacos! My wife got the mango salmon and loved it. Then, to top everything off we had ordered the tres leches cake for dessert. Our plan was to share one but then we had to get another. Let's just say this, I think other guests were probably looking at us and saying, 'I'll have what they're having'. Great service too, and a lovely atmosphere.

    (Last visited 4/21/2022.) Hanging out in Chanhassen, MN for work and it's lunch time with some coworkers! Someone threw out "Tequila Butcher" as a potential lunch spot. It's nearby so here's how it went! Atmosphere/Appearance: This place is nestled right in like... not quite a plaza, but an "area" that is also next to Buffalo Wild Wings, a tire shop, Chipotle and other businesses. There's a private parking lot so there's no worries about where to put your fly ride. The exterior looks like a cantina of sorts and is well put together. Inside is very modern, laid-back, calming and gives me a tavern feel. Once inside the bar is front and center with seating surrounding it. Off to the left is a BEAUTIFUL tequila wall complete with barrels for aesthetic. The walls are white brick with an exposed high ceiling and the noise level was quite moderate. There is also a more intimate and private dining section complete with another bar through an entrance near the tequila wall. Service: Bob took care of us. He didn't show much personality, which could be HIS personality, but he was patient, took care of us and just made sure we had whatever we needed as we sat at the bar. Food: So we started off with the Texas Twinkies! It's a jalapeño wrapped with bacon then stuffed with cream cheese and smoked brisket. It was VERY good with a bit of sweetness in the sauce as well as a smokey, super rich flavor. The pepper was quite spicy and their was a great saltiness from the bacon/brisket. For my entrée I went with the 3-Taco meal-deal. You can totally get 3 different kinds if you choose, which is what I did. The ground beef taco was a lil, bland, lil' dry and genuinely unexciting. The Al Pastor was my favorite of the 3, but still could've used more of a punch. The Carne Asada was the blandest of all 3 and the tortilla was chewy... so, yeah. However, I did enjoy the thick tortilla chips and the guacamole was super creamy! Value: Not too bad. With the Texas Twinkies you can order as many as you like for $5.00 a piece, but the minimum order is 3. So I had to spend $15.00 for them. My taco deal was also $15.00 and it came with 3 tacos of your choosing as well as tortillas chips with dipping sauces. In conclusion, I still really enjoyed myself here even though I didn't rave about my food. However, my coworkers' entrees did look great so I'd love to come back here and try something else!

    Stop licking the screen and hear me out. Do not sleep on Tequila Butcher! The food, drinks and atmosphere are 10/10. We arrived on a Sunday for a birthday dinner and were immediately seated (this is a FCFS restaurant). Our server was so kind and informed us that Sundays is all day happy hour (aka: Sunday Funday). The Mexican cornbread was a must try and came out with a delicious agave butter that added sweetness to the hint of spice bread. We also ordered the limited Brisket (available until gone) that takes over 12 hrs of smoking and the Paella (1/2 side) that boasted jumbo shrimp, cheeses chicken and mussels. Everything was delightful and came out hot and ready. We absolutely had to take some home. /5

I think it was perfect during happy hour and then could turn off when the dancing started. Food: The jerk chicken egg rolls were huge and had great flavor. Also enjoyed the little sliders.

The service at the bar was a bit slow at times there was two back there but the staff worked really hard at the end as the party went late and the staff was awesome cleaning up around us til the last minute so thanks for that!!!

We went back today and while it was still good, definitely wasn't as good as it was last time. The jerk chicken plate removed the beans, changed the rice, and got rid of the sauce so it wasn't as good though it was a bit less dry than last time. They also removed the Ropa Vieja from the menu which was our favorite. My husband had the Cuban sandwich and was not impressed. The fries with it were good. The drinks were still great. Service was friendly but slow (drinks, food, and waitress all slow). Another in our party got the blackened salmon which was really good. Unfortunately, I was so nervous they would remove or change the menu to be worse, which is a common theme I've noticed with 4 different restaurants by these owners now, so I was so bummed to see that's exactly what happened. Such a cool vibe, great drinks, and a really cool new patio - but the food needs a bit of work - bring back the Ropa Vieja and the better jerk chicken!

The inside is gorgeous: dark grey wood everywhere, very modern, and smells amazing from the moment you walk in.

I ordered the cornbread skillet and a chicken sandwich (I asked for bacon but didn't get it). The cornbread skillet was excellent -- my partner had cheese curds that were melt-in-your-mouth, i love when places paor curds with the blueberry dip. The chicken sandwich was awesome: quality chicken with a super crunchy breading, and the tomatoes had a little pepper seasoning which made it stand out from your usual sandwich. I also tried their Mac and Cheese. Thats pretty good its dauced just right and i think its pimento cheese. Partner also tried chicken and waffles, which he enjoyed but said it wasn't his favorite -- not really a chicken-and-waffles guy. The sweet potato fries were tasty, though a bit soft rather than crispy. Service was fantastic. Our server was very sweet, attentive, and helpful with suggestions and questions. The bathrooms were clean, and the bar area looked well done. The space is much bigger than the old restaurant, with more booths and seating than I expected. Overall, I really enjoyed the food and atmosphere. I would definitely come back to try more off the menu -- everything looks tempting. A wonderful spot in Chaska that's worth visiting. Go visit!

Mirabelle was chosen for friends night out due to the social media post and it looking great on socials. I'd first like to say the staff here were amazing. We were helped by quite a few of them during our dining experience. We were even given a guided tour of the rentable event space, as well as the 2 other restaurant concepts they run, which are connected to Mirabelle. Shiki - Japanese inspired noodle bar, and Parlour Bar - Speakeasy vibes. Mirabelle has more of a supper club atmosphere. Back to the dining experience, we all ordered the drink special - I don't recall the name but we all enjoyed it. Kind of like a cosmo. We were able to catch a few things from the happy hour. As I said earlier I was looking forward to ordering the wings, which I did, but was later informed they ran out - we did go at dinner opening on a Monday - maybe they had a super busy week. I was left to only trying cheese curds and fries which were okay, nothing special. Others tried the caesar salad, a shrimp pasta dish, popcorn, and a few other dishes. Overall they weren't very impressed either. Probably would have enjoyed the other concepts a bit more personally. Also had popovers - they were very egg forward - smell and taste - also something no one really enjoyed at our table. The drinks and vibes were amazing though!
