Andale Taqueria and Mercado in Richfield has been bringing authentic Mexican street tacos and the market food traditions of Mexico to the Twin Cities southern suburbs since it opened, building a menu around the slow-braised meats, house-made tortillas, and the from-scratch Mexican cooking that earns a Minnesota restaurant its destination reputation among the state’s large Mexican-American community and the broader Twin Cities food world that discovered it. It appeared in Season 23, Episode 5 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, “Homeland Favorites,” which aired August 28, 2015.
