Petit León is a neighborhood restaurant in South Minneapolis. They are currently only open for takeout (March 2021), but I am looking forward to the day I can sit inside, enjoying food from Chef Jorge Guzmán and unique cocktails from Travis Serbus. When looking at the menu, website, and most importantly eating Guzmán’s food, you can feel and taste the intentionality and passion behind their operations. The Petit León burger is up there in my top 5, and a lot of their other snacks and dishes (the olives with feta! the lamb meatballs!) are something truly special.
