Taqueria Los Ocampo

417 E. Lake St., Minneapolis, MN 55408
(612) 823-5398
The winner of City Pages' 2012 Best Mexican restaurant proudly proclaims itself as the area's "most authentic," and who are we to argue? Across the board, the restaurant offers delightful and flavorful dishes. Everyone always talks about the tacos at Los Ocampo, which are indisputably outstanding, but the burritos -- thickly layered with your choice of over a dozen fillings, including tongue, pumpkin flower, and a super spicy Mexican-style chicken -- are heavy-hitting and shouldn't be overlooked. Heck, everything on the menu is worth trying, and you can at just two bucks for a taco garnished with thinly sliced raw radishes, three for a tostada with avocado, and five dollars for a scrumptious gordita or sope made with one of Los Ocampo's softly fried masa cakes. Want to get the fresh-from-the-State-Fair feeling without the threat of sunburn or the hassle of parking? The elote is corn on the cob -- you guessed it -- on a stick and covered with queso fresco and chili powder.
