Andale Taqueria Y Mercado, Minneapolis, MN

I convinced my spouse (it wasn't hard) to take a trip to Minneapolis, just an overnight away, to have some food in the city and then go to southern Minnesota for a much anticipated baby shower, and then home, barely more than 24 hours on the road. It was early Ocotber when we went and the leaves were mid-peak in turning, so the drive was beautiful, and we very much enjoyed our early morning sojourn to this restaurant and market. We started with a chili relleno and some enchiladas, both of which were very good, and we were happy with the choice for breakfast--and they serve their whole menu all day, so you are not constrained by things with eggs. The market was spectacular--we got some meat at the butcher counter--which caters to Mexican cooks and has all the cuts you would need to make things like asada and pastor as well as some nice chorizo. They had fresh hot tortillas in a cooler and the bakery looked worthy. My favorite was the chili rellonos to go, which we packaged the salsa seperate from the rellenos, so we could air fry them back to crispness before eating them at home--my only regret is that we did not get sides of rice and beans to accompany them, but is was a very good stop indeed.
