"The Guerrero Reloaded was well plated and one of the most delicious Mexican meals I have ever had. $15. The Birria pot roast was excellent on a return visit. $20."

"I really enjoyed my experience at Food Lab. My hubby and I went for a much needed date. I’m a super picky eater and both his and my plates were FANTASTIC! I thought the prices were reasonable, especially with the flavor and quality of the items we ordered. So flavorful! We also got complimentary chips and salsa upon arrival. Their chips are probably some of my favorite of all time. Highly recommended restaurant!"

"My wife and I loved our visit here for date night. We don't get out much but the prices seemed very reasonable, especially for the quality and taste of the food! I was here for the soft opening and the food was awesome then, but I think the presentation and flavor has gotten even better as well as service. They even decided to include AWESOME chips and salsa complementary."

"After visiting the popular Taco Lab food trailer, we stopped in at the new FoodLab location at 1203 Seventh St. NW., Rochester, MN just across from Zumbro Valley. It’s fun to see how owners Jorge Mosquera and Nino Morales added interior décor to the variety menu. You can select from tables and chairs and bench seating for dining in. A large knife and fork silhouette hangs on the wall – seeming to invite visitors to dive in and eat. They have lunch large plates, lunch small plates, lunch bowls, a lunch taco lab, and a combo lunch Mariachi. I wasn’t sure what they meant by “Mariachi” as I’m more familiar with associating it with fresh produce: apples, pears, watermelons, cantaloupes, mangoes, cherimoyas, tomatoes, and chayotes served with a crusty bread roll. The service was pleasant and the food was prepared and delivered to my table in a timely manner. What drew me in was the rumored word of how good their fresh fish is. I ordered the Pistachio Salmon Dinner for $20. It was topped with a nicely seasoned crust and a smooth lemon cream sauce with a few capers in it. The salmon was laid slightly over the steamed broccolini, which topped a bed of cauliflower puree. The puree tasted just like mashed potatoes and seemed to have a fair amount of fresh butter in it. Drinks are premade mixes so they were unable to custom make one for me with less sugar and less or no alcohol. They offer both a house wine and house red, along with margaritas and mojitos. Parking is shared with other business entities in the strip mall. I was able to fit in along with a few other vehicles parked parallel along the sidewalk streetside. Food can be preordered through Seamless and delivered by Grubhub and Doordash. It’s a nice family-style dining option for the Rochester area."

"We visited FoodLab today and wasnt I blown away by their pistachio salmon dish. The salmon was perfectly cooked and the blend of flavors from the cauliflower puree, broccolini, and lemon cream sauce was simply divine. The crunchy texture of the pistachios paired with the smoothness of the puree made every bite an explosion of taste. This is a must-try for anyone who appreciates culinary excellence. If you’re looking for a place that serves dishes with a blend of creativity and classic flavors, FoodLab is the spot in Rochester MN! What a great addition to Rochester MN"
