As finals approach, students needing to refuel can head to Homi, a new Mexican restaurant just two miles from campus.
Located on the corner of University and Victoria avenues, Homi opened its doors last October.
Homi's decor is warm and inviting, as earth tones highlight the dining area. The clean and natural atmosphere is accented with lively Mexican music.
The owners are personable and friendly, giving Homi a distinctively personal vibe.The owners of Homi are Miguel López from Hidalgo and Hortencia Ambrocio from Veracruz. Homi is a combination of their first names, López said.
López moved to the United States in 1991. He spent four years in California before moving to the Twin Cities.
"I love Minnesota because it has four seasons. I even like the snow," López said.
He said he also appreciates Minnesota's landscape and has enjoyed lakes all across the state. The only thing he said seemed to be missing was authentic Mexican food.
López said Homi provides this type of cuisine to the neighborhood.
"We use the original recipes," he said.
Diners may be surprised not to find fajitas, hard shell tacos, chimichangas on the menu.
"Those are actually Tex-Mex," López said.
Diners will however find familiar foods like tortillas and tamales as well as some more interesting options such as cactus salad.
"Cactus is a common food in central Mexico. You can put cactus in almost anything," López said.
The authenticity is even evident in the condiments.
At the table there is salt, chiles and oregano, but no pepper.
"Campesinos don't buy pepper," López said. "Homi has food that families in Mexico normally eat."
In the tradition of family, Homi has no employees, only family members; diners may be greeted by López's sister or son.
Despite the fact that López and Ambrocio each have other jobs, one of them is always at Homi.
They said they both love cooking, and they are commited to their restaurant.
"If someone isn't happy with what they ordered, one of us is here to fix it," López said.
Reservations aren't necessary, but customers shouldn't expect to zip in and out; nothing is pre-made.
"Everything is made fresh," López said.
All the menu items - from guacamole to tortas - are made for the customer on the spot.
