Please go order the cherry margarita so they keep it on the menu. It's delightful. Service is great. Foods delicious. But that cherry marg... that's something worth making the trip for. Also trivia on Monday's is a ton of fun!

We had this delivered through Uber eats, I loved that they clearly labeled what was GF but you could also still flag a gluten allergy for the item in your order. When it was delivered it came with a receipt that clearly said gluten free under all my items and a tag that said special preparation. I never felt so safe eating delivery food!!!!! We ordered the chicken and carnitas tacos, the elote in a cup, and a side of rice and beans. All were very very good!

Great spot! Very cute space to sit and clearly marked menus with allergy info. They’re really nice about making sure to take care of people with gluten allergies - they fry the fish in a different frier than the yucca fries. Also super efficient with the ordering on your phone. We had barely any wait time!

Food was delicious, I got three of their tacos (highly recommend the squash) and my partner got the Crunchwrap and loved it!

Came to Centro with a recommendation from a friend. The whole experience from walking in the door to the service to the food was nothing short of amazing. The crunch wrap was worth the trip alone. I will defiantly be back next time I’m in MN!

Had their lunch special -two tacos and chips with salsa. Had the pescado/mahi and nopales/cactus. Both were tasty. Chips were freshly made; plenty of fresh salsa. Service was good and friendly.

Amazing brunch! Ordered delivery and it was lightning fast for a Saturday morning. Had the egg and hash brown wrap and the blue corn pancakes. Both were really good, and you definitely get your moneys worth with the wrap! Also the tres leches cake was incredible. Definitely will eat here again
