  Café Ena

  4601 Grand Ave S Minneapolis, MN 55419 US - +1-612-824-4441

  SOUTH MINNEAPOLIS. Younger sibling of El Meson (an energetic Spanish-Caribbean spot on Lyndale), Café Ena's specialty is Latin fusion cuisine. The intimate, subdued atmosphere fosters just the right environment for warming up to dishes you might not have tasted before. Start with chile en hogada (roasted poblano stuffed with ground beef, mango, and cucumber) while deciding on your main. When the time comes, the choice will be tough ­ pan-seared turkey with homemade mole, cardamom-blackened salmon over sautéed artichokes, or filet of corvina wrapped in a banana leaf ­ but not without delicious reward.

  Chris & Rob's

  3101 E 42nd St Minneapolis, MN 55406 US - +1-612-729-5507

  SOUTH MINNEAPOLIS. A five-spot will get you a canned soda and a loaded, Chicago-style dog at this beyond-casual spot, where every table sports red and white checkered tablecloths and a roll of paper towels. If you're brave, attempt the house specialty: a Vienna Beef dog served on a poppy seed bun and smothered in mustard, "nuclear relish," onions, and celery salt. Juicy and sure to satisfy, it's a taste straight from the South Side. Other choices ­ including pizzas, Italian beef sandwiches, Maxwell Street Polishes, and meatball sandwiches ­ are equally tempting and grease-laden. NB Formerly called Joey D's.
