Greeting Text

Following twenty years of farmer's markets selling locally grown vegetables, native fruits, and local honey Linda created Marianne's Kitchen in Shoreview, MN, an oasis of good food, conversation and laughter in a suburban food desert. Operating from 2011-2017 the cafe offered home made soups, fresh bread baked daily, great sandwiches and treats and a complete line of gluten-free soups, pickled products, jams, jellies, salsas and locally sourced soups, honey and grains.

The Marianne's Kitchen of sharing, conversation, and learning continues with ongoing commentary, food reviews and food finds as we grow, cook and eat our food and sample local restaurants.

Dinner at Los Ocampo While Selling a Car 1/9/2018


Anne is selling her car, so we were meeting some potential buyers in East St. Paul...at dinner time. We grabbed a quick bite at Los Ocampo on I 94 & White Bear Ave.
Not crowded, so immediate seating.

We sat in the 'greenhouse' and had great service from the guy Anne sez is the best server in the place (older, with greying hair [John believes old & grey, like him, is a pinnacle of success and cool]).
The waiter brought out ALL of the sauce choices (& we ate most of them!!)

John had his standard alambre, Anne opted for the corn tortilla quesadilla, & I had 2 traditional tacos with a side of
veggies...see, it's possible to eat your veggies almost anywhere ; )

Pretty standard Los O fare tonight-- nothing outstanding, nothing bad. Great service, decent food, and a pleasant environment.

Nice quick dinner after the evening's test drive.
