Colita is a Tex-Oaxacan restaurant from chef Daniel del Prado's DDP Restaurant Group (the Martina and Bar La Grassa team), open since October 2018 in a converted former gas station at 54th & Penn in southwest Minneapolis's Armatage neighborhood. Named after del Prado's first dog, it pairs Oaxacan-influenced barbecue, creative tacos, and mole-driven dishes with a well-regarded bar program in a fully gluten-free kitchen. The drinks menu carries a dedicated "Zero Proof" section of four house-made, $10 non-alcoholic cocktails built with the same care as its alcoholic list — fruit-, herb-, and tea-forward sodas finished with carbonation. Named pours include the rose-and-raspberry Rosas, the citrus-and-lychee Naranjitas, a cinnamon coconut-milk Horchata, and the honey-sarsaparilla 3leche Miele. The program is a real, named NA list but a focused one — a strong complement to the meal rather than a full standalone bar menu.
