Uptown & Powderhorn

- Teagan White
Lake Street, stretching from Lake Calhoun all the way to St. Paul, is an eclectic showcase of the broad range of communities that call South Minneapolis home. Hennepin Avenue and Lyndale Avenue form the heart of Uptown, bustling on evenings and weekends with young people enjoying the neighborhood for its chic restaurants, trendy retail stores, nightlife, and entertainment. Powderhorn is a laid-back and vibrantly creative neighborhood known for its community-oriented and diverse residents, boasts the city’s largest concentration of Latin@ and Northeast African restaurants and businesses, and has family-run markets, pubs, barbershops, and community centers sprinkled amid the brightly-painted houses of its residential streets.

Yep, it really exists -- a taco place with delivery, only by bike (and with a cat mascot, because you CAN have everything in life). Taco Cat serves up creative takes on street-style tacos, burritos, and Sunday-brunch breakfast burritos. They'll even bring you bombers of beer from East Lake Brewery. There aren't a lot of eateries out there able to boast specials as abominable as a "$4.20 Cool-Ranch-Dorito fried-mac-n-cheese taco with bacon, ranch, hot sauce, and Cheeto crumble" while also providing unique vegan options, but Taco Cat is next level. Order it for delivery (and don't forget to tip the messenger!) or stop by their walk-in location at [Midtown Global Market](www.onthegrid.city/minneapolis-st-paul/uptown-powderhorn/midtown-global-market).
