Hungry Hippie Tacos is an interesting fast food establishment, serving tacos that are a like a bit…read moreof a fusion between Native American and Mexican-American cuisine. The food they serve is nothing like a traditional street taco, nor anything like those classic Americanized Mexican restaurants. It really is unique and is something that I've never seen before in the past. The restaurant itself is counter service, so ordering is easy and quick. When we arrived for an early Tuesday dinner at 5PM, it was completely empty. My first impression from looking at the menu was that the tacos seem very expensive. I soon found out that each taco is probably equivalent to four street style tacos in mass, so the pricing makes sense. Grateful Pig, Basket ($15.99) - The taco comes wrapped in aluminum foil. I don't think this does the taco shell any favors, because as soon as I opened up the wrapper, the shell started to crumble and split. There's so much liquid from all the wet ingredients inside that it's literally impossible to eat this taco as a taco - after a couple of dangerous bites where stuff was falling out left and right all over the place, I went up to get a paper boat, flipped the taco out, and ended up eating the rest with fork and knife. The taco shell itself is very interesting. I went into the restaurant thinking it would be similar to Native American frybread, but it's totally different. Instead of being completely flour based, this one is like a puffed up, fried masa and wheat flour mixture, made extra crumbly rather than pliable. It's honestly not a good taco shell given how crumbly and dry it is. The pork is nicely smoky, although very salty and needs the blander ingredients above to dilute that salt out - very hard to do in taco format. The basket comes with a bunch of crunchy homemade tortilla chips, not too salty, and a tiny cup of salsa. The salsa is quite watery/runny and is pureed heavily. It's given in such a small amount that's not nearly enough for all the chips on the plate. I'm not convinced this is a freshly homemade salsa. (3/5) Wild Willy ($14.99) - Interestingly, this taco shell was better than the other. Firstly, while still crumbly, it has a bit more strength to hold things together. Secondly, it's speckled with super crunchy nubbins all over the exterior, giving additional and very pleasing crunch. Otherwise, this taco has an entire chorizo link rather than the ground bits I expected to see, as typical in a street taco. The link has a bit of heat and the spice mixture complements the natural porky flavor so well. Usually with cheaper chorizo, the spice mixture dominates, but this one is balanced. They cut the chorizo in half like a boat and then stuff it with some slightly roasted corn salsa. It's then doused with lots of chipotle sour cream for more slight heat and plenty of fatty moisture. Finally a huge pile of shredded cheese and lettuce complete the taco. (3/5) I think the tacos might be better served as an open taco concept like the Indian Taco, or at least served in a paper boat instead of wrapped in foil. As they are, though, I found the tacos to be mediocre. Bathrooms: Two unisex rooms Food: [3/5] Service: [ ] Other: [ ] Final Rating: 3/5

Friendly workers, nice atmosphere, but I was a bit disappointed in the food…read more I ordered a burrito with pork, cheese, sour cream, beans and corn salsa. The burrito was loosely packed and rolled so that it kept coming apart every time I picked it up. They forgot the corn salsa which I didn't realize until I was almost finished. After a few bites I thought they forgot the sour cream so I asked for some at the counter, which they gave to me without question. But then I discovered that the last 1/4 of my burrito was made up entirely by cold cheese and sour cream. My son got a burrito bowl which was ok but the beef seemed old and dry. Just the burrito and burrito bowl without drinks came out to $34.66 which feels like a lot for what we received. We would probably pick somewhere else to eat if we were ever in town again.

We decided to visit after a light lunch for some additional snacks on an early Tuesday afternoon and this place was not busy at all. I think there was only a single other party inside other than us - this is definitely more of a dinner and evening establishment. Cheese Curds ($12) - An order comes with a small pile of perfectly battered and fried cheese curds. The batter kind of sticks multiple curds together into clusters, but the glue comes only from the batter, not from the cheese. None of them leak out or are gooey at all. Instead, the interior is warmed through and only melted a bit, allowing the firm texture of the cheese curd to come through. It's even slightly squeaky from how fresh they are. They have a good light crisp on the exterior and great overall texture. The curds come with a side dip that's sweet, fruity, and slightly smoky. I'm usually fan of a fruity or acidic side to balance out how fatty the fried cheese is, but I don't think this one requires the sauce at all. (4/5) Bread ($2) - This is essentially an extra order of bread for the Voyageur Picnic Board. Luckily we were able to order these as a side. And they were totally not worth it. An order includes 5 slices of a small baguette-style bread that's really dense and chewy. It's served cold and tastes completely like dough conditioner - think cheap grocery store-style bread. It honestly is so strong of a taste that I don't believe that it's homemade at all - and if it's homemade, it's one of the worst homemade breads I've ever eaten. It's clearly not meant to be eaten by itself. I can't help but think we were dumb to visit specifically for the bread. Considering this is not on the actual menu and we had to special order it, I'm going to pretend this doesn't exist and not include it in my final rating. (1/5) Again, we don't drink at all, so I can't comment on the quality of the beer served at Voyageur Brewing Company. I did quite like the cheese curds, so I'll be leaving this as a 4* review. Bathrooms - Two larger ones Note: Voyageur Brewing Company charges a 2.92% credit card fee. This is disclosed on their menu. Food: [4/5] Service: [ ] Other: [ ] Final Rating: 4/5

I am a very generous tipper, but I also tip on service. Our waiter never came back after we got our food or asked if we wanted more drinks until we were finished. He was kind of condescending to the people behind us when they asked questions about the menu. Unfortunately, if they don't have to work for their tip, they're not gonna do much more than they have to. My husband's chicken was pretty good, that got it up from two stars to three.

We ended up having several more drinks...we were into the whole vibe! Had some great conversations. Here's the kicker...got up the next morning and I was missing a pair of Ray Ban sunglasses. I looked everywhere. When we walked into town, I go into the Gun Flint and ask the bartender if she could check to see if anyone had found them. My wife and I were saying "right, in this day and time, who turns in a pair of found Ray Bans". The bartender, i think her name was Jennica, took the time to check in the office and then go upstairs to the Nest. I was in shock that she came back with my sunglasses! The guy who cleans up at night (Lennie?) found them and turned them in. The music was great, the drinks were great. Service was excellent.

The food runners were so jolly and so interested in making sure you got exactly what you ordered. We noticed the same dishwasher working incredibly hard both nights, and it was obvious that every person plays an important role. The friendly bartenders, servers, kitchen staff, and support staff all worked together seamlessly with genuine pride and teamwork. Great restaurants don't happen by accident. It's clear the manager has built a culture where everyone supports one another and truly cares about the guest experience. We travel extensively, and seeing a team like this is rare.
