Discover Little Tijuana

Little Tijuana, affectionately called Little T's, has quickly become a favorite dive bar in Minneapolis, offering a relaxed yet lively vibe. Located in the heart of Eat Street, it’s a place where locals and visitors alike can enjoy high-quality food and drinks without any pretension.

The transformation of Little T owes much to chef-owner Dan Manosack, who brings experience from top restaurants like Blackbird and Petite León. His menu puts a creative spin on comfort food, with standout items like handmade pelmeni (Russian-style dumplings) and a steam burger made with brisket, chuck, and short rib patties. The fried chicken sandwich with papaya salad is another must-try.

Co-owner and head bartender Bennett Johnson elevates the drink menu, putting a unique twist on classic cocktails. His Sazerac-analogue, made with Mexican herbs and aquavit, is a bold, flavorful take on the original. The bar also serves a variety of natural wines, local beers, and pre-batched cocktails, all with a casual, fun approach.

Whether you're a local or a visitor, Little T’s blend of tasty food, inventive drinks, and laid-back atmosphere makes it a standout spot in Minneapolis.
