Los Grandes Restaurant: Sushi, Mexican, Seafood in Burnsville, MN

Came on my lunch break as it was right next door. Insanely impressed with the selection of dishes and cocktail menu. It’s hard finding a place that does seafood right in the area of Minnesota, but here there is a unique take. The La Terra dish for the price tag of $30 is almost charity for the variety of seafood: Shrimp, octopus, oysters etc in a unique sauce that you can have two meals out of. Take your date here, take your coworkers here in the middle of the workday, for sure.

The Don Ceviche is my favorite, I would even say it’s the best I’ve ever had. Portions have been getting noticeably smaller as prices slightly increase. Drinks are okay. Great vibes, I have yet to find a restaurant w banda.

I think this is the first time I found a good fresh seafood restaurant, plenty of options and a nice place to eat with family and friends. You have to try the Shrimp cocktail and agua de Jamaica. The service is great and the staff really friendly. Loved the Pulpo.

My husband and I ordered a variety of foods. The guacamole with ribeye is pretty good, he got a molcajete vallarta it was so fresh and savory! I got the quesabirrias and they were huge, well proportions. Definitely recommend. Do want to mention the band charges for each song they sing.

The food was good overall. I especially enjoyed their sushi rolls and shrimp cocktail—both were definite standouts. The ceviche was pretty decent as well. Some of the drinks were quite enjoyable, though they were a bit on the pricey side—not outrageous, but worth noting. The atmosphere was a bit loud, likely because they were prepping for the evening crowd. They have a live band and a dance floor in the basement, so the noise level probably helps set the tone for their nightlife vibe. Service was a little slow. Our waitress was friendly, but once we got our food, she seemed to disappear. We didn’t see her for quite a while and eventually had to ask someone else to track her down so we could get our checks. A bit more attentiveness would go a long way. Overall, this spot is great if you're looking to hang out with friends, enjoy some drinks, and have a fun night out. It may not be ideal if you’re hoping for a quieter family lunch or dinner.

The food is flavorful and well-seasoned, and I really enjoyed it. The drinks are a bit on the pricey side, but the overall vibe of the place makes up for it. The live music adds energy, though it can get a little too loud at times. The waitstaff is friendly, but they tend to disappear, so it can take a while before they check back in. I especially like coming on Wednesdays for their buy-one-get-one sushi deal! I tried the Miramar pasta, and it was absolutely delicious worth the try!

Saturdays and Sundays are fantastic here as they have a band that sings while you eat. They offer a variety of unique authentic Mexican food choices which makes it interesting every time we go. We love to take a group, celebrate a birthday, or just enjoy a good meal.

If you want a quiet place, this is definitely NOT the place to come. And I normally don't like loud environments. The band plays loud and constantly. However, once we got our heads wrapped around the idea that this was intentional, and we were celebrating a birthday in the group we were okay with the idea. We had really good service, but the staff are all hispanic without great english (or perhaps it is us without good spanish). So it was a challenge to always communicate. The menus have lots of great pictures and descriptions, so it worked out. We all ordered different drinks, which were large and very tastey. Not sure what kind of margarita to get, no problem, get the flight of four different ones. I got the PassionFruit Margarita and it was excellent. The place is know for seafood, and it was all fresh, served hot, and large portions. I got the Grilled Octopus and it was truly amazing. The rest of the entrees were good as well. We endup up with a piece of cake for our birthday person. They brought it out with sparklers, the band, and waitstaff, all doing a special version of happy birthday A little pricey, a little loud, but very special experience. Not to self. Bring earplugs next time.
