I think a lot of people like the idea of proving to themselves they can survive like that. And where else would you rather do it, really?

I understand the appeal.

Latin street food? Ceasar Salad on a stick? The Romulus Burger?

Downtown Journal has the scoop!

Nicollet Mall
The former Dunn Bros on Nicollet Mall is getting stocked with stronger drinks: Barrio, a tequila bar and Latin street food restaurant, is opening at 925 Nicollet Mall on July 15.

Two of Barrios owners are the people behind Solera at 900 Hennepin Ave. and La Belle Vie at 510 Groveland Ave. The restaurant will feature a mezzanine level and an outdoor patio.

Are you kidding? Tequila-Tamales-Targetrons??? My head is going to explode. Have you not read my skyway shoe survey? The Targetronettes on The Mall in the summer time are my favorite thing about working downtown, narrowly edging out the Central Library and Marshall's.

MASA just doesn't quite cut it.
you don't like $39 seafood burritos with bits of shell embedded in them?

I hope grote has a high tolerance for Targetrons.

It’s going to be called Casa de G-rote by the time I’m through. This is exactly the type of place I’ve been waiting for. MASA just doesn’t quite cut it.

The Barrio? Hmmm.

I think Agave would have been a better name.
