Serious Ink Tattoos & Body Piercing

I had an amazing artist from my shop in California flying out for a convention in St. Paul. Some of her very specialized needles happened to go "missing" in her flight east. I called around to 30 plus shops and this was the only one to have them. They were also one of two shops of the whole lot that was nice to talk to. Nick Jajic, whom I spoke with was very knowledgeable and a lifesaver to boot.

I had our most award winning artist from our shop in California fly out for a convention. One of her boxes of very specialized needles went awol in flight. I called around to over 30 shops in the twin cities looking for a replacement for her. I dont know who I spoke with at Twin Cities tattoo, but this shop was only one of two shops that was nice to me. They were kind and helpful. I cant say enough how great they were. They knew what I was talking about (most shops seemed to have a very dense shop girl who knew NOTHING answering phones) which was fantastic.They didnt have the needle type we needed but they are still 5 stars in my books. A shop that knows what a German cartridge system is knows their stuff. Thanks for being awesome Twin Cities!

Why am I giving 5 stars to a big box store when I love local business so much? Because Anne in the kitchen design department helped me get an awesome kitchen! She was so up on what discounts were available that I was able to get all the Kitchen, Living room and Bathroom all done for a lot less that what anyone else was quoting. I also saved $600 on my appliances alone. What a difference it makes working with someone who knows what they are doing! Show owner comment »

I am not too sure why there is more than one listing for this place, so I will repeat what I had put in on the other profile:
I stopped going here about 4 years ago and only returned yesterday to be very pleasantly surprised by the changes. The food was fantastic and everyone working there was so cheerful. If I didnt have to go back into work, I would have stayed for their First Tuesday tequila tasting. They now also have a happy hour from 3-6 that has some super yummy and filling dishes for only $5. I am definitely going to be suggesting it when I am asked out for dinner again! They also added a full bar and have updated their outdoor seating. I won't have to go to MidTown next time I get a craving for crackrific carnitas!

    I had avoided going back here for quite some time because all of my meals were coming out somehow wrong for quite some time. You know when you have a really long great run with a place and it starts to go bad but you keep hoping it is just you and they will pull out of it but finally you give up this once staple? Florez was that to us. It was local and had decent breakfasts. Then the beans started to taste strange and the meat had the increasingly more frequent strange chewie bit. We went back the other day and I had the Pozole. Finally, something I can eat that had nice chunks of meat and came with lots of flavor. I enjoyed it. The coffee still sucks, but at least the food seems to be getting back on track.

I would like to start this review by stating I dont like sandwiches. I never have and I dont expect this to change any time soon. I however have found an exception to the rule. Dinosaurs' veggie yummy somethingerother is super good. It has so much flavour and taste to it! I think of having to go work in that neighborhood every other month and I start salivating for that sandwich. I dont know what you do but job well done.

I was soooo ready to love this place. I had been dying for schnitzel and was excited to see such well rated schnitzel and not in SoCal. A long wait? No problem, they have lots of beer to pass the time. However, sometime between us waiting and realizing the host was seating all of his friends who just came in to us finally being sat it got a bit, well, apparent we were not as important to the establishment. I was fine when the older couple was sat before us. I am a firm believer seniors should get seats first. But, when the obnoxious expletives got a huge booth for the two of them because they were such big complainers I got confused. You want to reward their behavior over those sitting patiently and happily at the bar? After about 6 tables of this happening we were seated. I thought maybe the people had reservations but the waitress assured me they did not take reservations. The food may have been spectacular but I was so rattled about being so constantly put down that I didn't eat much. Maybe I am just at that age where I would rather spend more and be treated well than worrying about being hip enough to be seated. I sooooo wanted to love this place and I tried to put a positive spin on everything that happened in the first hour of being there but I just left saddened by the whole experience.

I absolutely love this place. Anytime I am having a beyond rough day, my partner takes me here and it is an complete turn around on my day. Not only is the food fantastic so is everyone working there. Now that they have lunch there as well, I have become a sucker for their Soup and Salad. This isnt the generic veggie soup with a caesar salad. I usually get the arugula salad but now I am in love with the chevre. The soup I had yesterday, the Potuguese clam chowder,  was a red clam soup with chorizo. yum yum. It may just be my favorite place in Sacramento to eat. :)

    I just had one of the most amazing experiences. I was having a rare truly exhausting day. I was well past the point of thinking and unable to comprehend what to cook. My partner sensing my distress suggested we go out. Masullos seemed perfect in tempo for me. We went there rather late and I was worried was within minutes of closing. I would hate to be that person who throws off all the closing procedures to deem my life more important than those who had already worked all day and are wanting to go home. The waiter sensed us trying to read the sign and decide and waved us in. We can not thank him enough for encouraging us because the meal we had was fantastic. We ordered the antipasto plate and I have to say it was one of the fullest and yummiest selections we have had. The fennel had the perfect amount of olive oil and ground pepper on it for me, lots. The hot coppa was a welcome addition. My sug who normally is opposed to anything resembling a blue pushed aside her prejudice to try the lovely layered goat cheese. I had the Eileen pizza. I ordered it with extra sage because I have had this pizza before and knew I was wanting to overload my taste bugs a bit. I have been so burned out by bland terrible food out there lately that I was so excited to get food that would not let me down. The pizza was fantastic. It was perfectly crispy without being burned. The mushrooms had a golden toast to them and were not undercooked yet still had a great tooth to them. And it has bacon on it. Bacon it really a super food. It makes so much food blossom. The bacon is more in lardoon strips than brittle burnt chunks and it comes off as more subtle. It does not overpower the other flavors. I love the strong dry dusky herb flavour sage instills in the pizza giving an edge to the creaminess. Two Trumners were a perfect partner to the meal. I don't remember what Sug ordered because I was so engrossed in my meal. Masullos not only provided me a great meal, they helped to turn a bad day around.

    I could eat here everyday for the rest of my life. The joy of yelp is knowing what you are getting into. I knew  that this was not a little league post game type of pizza place and I am glad for that. It is about the quality and clarity of ingredients. The parents of children that were there were fantastic at keeping their children engaged and respectful of others eating. A rare happening these days. I always get in trouble when ordering because I want everything from every course. Save room for dessert, their chocolate pot de creme is just as it should be. I am very glad yelp introduced me to them and they were the reason I decided to start reviewing myself.

Open till 3am most nights? And, the food is pretty good?!? Oh yeah, we are going back again. Now if only a magic parking fairy can make it a little easier in that neck of the woods on weekends. :)
