Has she ventured to this side of the river? There are a couple holes in
the wall here (B'ville) * but I've no idea if they would satisify. One
place is affiliated with a grocery store a couple doors away and at the
grocery store they sell tamales from a big kettle on the weekends. It
doesn't look like a setup the health department would approve of, but,
damn, the tamales were good!

Have her look up Rick Nelson at the Star Tribune and ask him for a rec.
He gets around. Tell her to find out which church has a heavy hispanic
congregation make-up and ask the padre to point her to a parishioner or
see if he's got a recommendation. Or tell her to try the MSP area of
Yelp.com.

Has she been to Lake Street? Has she done any formal searching online?
