One of my favorite spots to eat in St.Paul is a small wonderous gem called Brasa. It's a Tex-Mex styled rotisserie with an amazing array of choice cuts of meat and premium side dishes. I went with a friend and we ordered a bunch of different items. One of the nice things about Brasa is that you can choose the size of what item you want, which makes this place perfect for a group of friends or a chill date night spot. The small dining space (both locations are build within like an old fire station styled garage, and have decent sized patio seating in the summer months)
We ordered the catfish fillets, the pulled pork and the shredded beef. All 3 items were super fresh and perfectly seasoned. The pork and beef was juicy and had the right kick of savory spice to compliment any of the sides on the menu (I ordered the sweet candied yams and a corn muffin, my friend had chips and fresh guacamole). They also have some neat drink options, from a pineapple-ginger soda made from scratch, to Mexican Coca-Cola and Dr.Pepper, and a short rotating selection of local craft beers. All of the food is locally grown and organic (if you care about that kind of thing) and they even have vegetarian and gluten free options (if that tickles your fancy as well)
Brasa has it going on. Fantastic food, wonderful decor, just an all around great dining experience. 5 Flames for Brasa and the Black Star winner for my top restaurant choice in St. Paul.
