Antonio Ferrara
It is a cozy place, and its style is distinctly American, central bar, quiet, popular music in English. In short, a very cozy atmosphere. The Mexican food of the place is not good at all. I would recommend ordering another type of food from the menu or the different types of drinks offered by the bar. I should also mention that the place has a very practical payment system in which you can order and pay everything from your cell phone.

Super cute space but the food was underwhelming and pricey. I loved the open concept, local art, and funky decor. However, my fish tacos were unfortunately not good. The fish didn’t taste fresh, and each taco came with a huge fried chunk of fish that overwhelmed the garnishes and made it difficult to eat the taco. The guava roll had excellent flavor but was just a bit too dry. The yuca fries were good but didn’t need the seasoning. The dipping sauce for the fries was excellent though. Overall, I wasn’t impressed, but my friend suggested I give it another shot, since she usually has positive experiences here.

First time at this Centro location and it was great! Had no idea Centro did brunch stuff so that was a welcome surprise. Different vibe than the original Centro in NE, but really cool and has something for everyone, including burgers and sandwiches, etc. I had the Centro Crunch (their version of Taco Bell Crunchwrap) and their seasoned tater tots with habanero ranch. Loved both of them! My wife had the chorizo and egg Crunch and the guava roll, both of which were really liked. Highly recommend.

Awesome all around. You find a seat (so many tables, some cozy corner tables and couch/chair options), order on your phone or at the counter. Kids menu is on the QR code menu only, but you can still order both ways. So many great kid options. Best $5 kid hotdog and fries or burger ever. Burger and chicken sandwich are best in the cities contenders. Lots of n/a drink options that aren’t overpriced our non-drinking party appreciated. Food came out so fast. Check out the cookies and treats by the counter. The spicy cereal bar was amazing. Staff was welcoming and attentive. Our go-to spot on Nicollet for sure.

We ordered takeout from this location and I wish I would have eaten in the restaurant. Lots of murals, interesting design elements, and a ton of color. They have a really cool atmosphere with a quieter dining area, louder “food hall” feel area, and a lounge area that reminds you of an interesting coffee shop.

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!

Tacos AND burgers under the same roof!!?!? Ok, you have my attention Centro. Tried it for lunch with a friend and it was EXCELLENT. Disturbingly good french fries, great tacos AND margaritas by the pitcher??!? You order from the table on your phone, but friendly staff brings food to the table and cleans up for you. GREAT bar in the middle of the space and fantastic build out.

Brand new beautiful stunning space. You order with a QR code and they bring the food to your table. There are some familiar favorites but there is also a menu for Burgers. Not a ton of outdoor seating but plenty of beautiful spots inside. My favorite was the fish taco but the prickly pear margarita was pretty damn good as well.

The food is incredible and the servers/service workers were great, but the manager was creating a pretty hostile environment for the workers. My food took approximately 11 minutes to make and she was snapping at them multiple times that it should be ten minutes max– pretty unreasonable for such delicious food. Treat your workers like humans! They are worthy and important, more important than one extra minute of my time.
