Folks, B Loco is the best bar in Dinkytown. That’s not saying much since there are only like 3 left, but I digress. Their daily food specials will keep you wanting to come back and try out the full scope of their offerings. The bartenders are friendly and sometimes quite generous. The atmosphere is very much a college town bar, but with none of the pretentiousness. Come for the wings and beer, stay for the beer pong and touchtunes.

Best burritos in the state. Especially the BBQ chicken.

First - let me say this place is a dive. You order your food and drink at the counter and the place is generally full of loud college kids. Don't go expecting anything different. We love the tacos - especially before a concert at Varsity or a sporting event on campus. The music is loud and there is nothing flashy about the place. Which is it's charm. Cold beer, cheap food, and excuse to remember getting old hurts.

Best drink prices in town, best environment if you're looking for something more than just to have casual conversation. Food is phenomenal and it's open late, and the staff is excellent. I'm a little older then the college scene but I still consider this one of my favorite bars because the people, the wonderful owner, and the amazing environment

Been frequenting this place for 22 years since they got me hooked when I was back in college. Heck, even when I lived in Iowa I came up to Minneapolis...mostly to get a burrito here. 'nough said.

2 dollar drinks on Tuesday was totally awesome. Live DJ and great atmosphere on a otherwise dead night elsewhere. Great food, unbeatable local burrito. Cool upstairs area with pong and outdoor patio seating in the front. Totally sweet place to go to.
