Boca Chica Mexican Restaurant has served the flavorful, authentic cuisine of Mexico since 1964. It was then that Guillermo and Gloria Frias opened the doors to their new restaurant that seated only 28 patrons. Today, Boca Chica has grown substantially and is rated "one of the best Mexican restaurants in the Twin Cities," according to the Minneapolis-St. Paul Magazine’s March 2018 issue.
The authenticity of the food is maintained by making everything from scratch, the old-fashioned way, with fresh ingredients. Even the fiery salsa is still made with fresh tomatoes, chiles, and that special Frias family touch. Our menu includes some of the more traditional foods such as guisados, sopes, carne asada, chile rellenos, and tamales. Taste is never compromised. We also have a full bar featuring the city’s best selection of Mexican beers and premium tequilas. Voted "Best Margarita" by City Pages.

The Lexington is more than a restaurant, it’s an institution. Located on the corner of Lexington Parkway and Grand Avenue, this St. Paul community was the most fashionable at the turn of the 19th century. The St. Paul elite lived just blocks away and the first electric trolley brought visitors up and down Grand Avenue. The Lexington opened in 1935, after the end of prohibition, and was a popular neighborhood bar to gather and socialize. Previously operating as a speakeasy, the expansive wood panels were perfect for hiding a little booze and one can only imagine the shenanigans going on beyond the hidden staircase behind the coat check. For decades following, The Lex, as it’s called by locals and enthusiasts alike, was the place to be seen; business dealings, cocktail hours, and milestone celebrations were a regular occurrence for St. Paul socialites.

In every city, there is a natural gathering spot for city folk and neighborhood people in the know. This place in Saint Paul is know as Bennett's Chop & Railhouse. Located on West Seventh & Victoria, it is the perfect meeting place of uptown and downtown, of quiet neighborhood and big city lights.
It's called a chophouse because it specializes in a casual steakhouse atmosphere with top-of-the-line cuts of the finest meats. It is a Rail-house because it is on the old railroad line serving the city and rail drinks (as well as top brands) are served in the convivial atmosphere of the horseshoe bar.
And of course Bennett's is Bennett's because owners Joe and Meghan Bennett ensure that welcoming hospitality is always served. They have taken their decades of experiences with leading hospitality brands and translated it into an intimate venue where you're not only a customer, but more importantly, a welcome guest.

    My first time here. Went with three office mates and had a delightful afternoon. Drinks and food were delicious, service was prompt despite how busy they were. I had a delicious patty melt, though one of my table mates had mushroom toast that looked incredibly yummy. We ordered their pear blackberry cheesecake to share and it was that perfect level of not too sweet but still a great meal ender. Although the room was filled with holiday parties, you could still hear the conversation at your table

    This was a girls night out, and it was fantastic! If you enjoy superior customer service, and excellent food, this is the place for you. I was greeted warmly at the door, they took my coat, and put my packages at my table. Had a drink at the bar with my friends before dinner. Had fun joking around with the bartender. The drinks were as beautiful as they were delicious. Highly recommend the Lex Cup. Matt, our server, as well as the others who helped along the way, were attentive, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to be around. Our dinner was delicious. We had the Sweet Onion Boullion (get it: the presentation is beautiful and the cheese, crostini, and broth are excellent), filet mignon, sea scallops, whipped potatoes, truffle Gouda gnocchi, and asparagus. All of it was top-notch. Prepared perfectly. We can’t wait to go back in the summer and visit the rooftop patio. The old school steakhouse is alive and well at the Lexington.
