Rochester, Minnesota has a new and unique restaurant.  The Nile Restaurant  is rapidly becoming a local favorite. The Nile offers most of what one would expect from an "authentic" Ethiopian restaurant. The menu includes a range of traditional non-vegetarian and vegetarian dishes such as doro wot, beef tibs, ye-beg wot ,  salads   and one cannot forget the accompanying Injera (a traditional flatbread). Price-wise for the dishes the cost seems pretty fair, considering how much food you get.

Rochester Yellow Cab and Med City Taxi Rochester, Minnesota Review   Rochester, Minnesota has two main Cab companies, Rochester Yellow Cab and Med City Taxi. Rochester Yellow Cab has been in business in Rochester for over 17 years, Med City has been in Rochester for roughly 11 years. As a transportation driver in Rochester, I will give you my basic opinion and review of both as they pertain to 5 different categories and on a 10-Point scale (10 being the highest). My short review of both is my knowledge as a driver and also from the customer's responses and opinions of both. Meter Price:  Overall this category seems to be the same across the board. Most of the Taxi Cab drivers in Rochester are honest in this way and don't gouge the meter for customers and the most part travel destinations in the local Rochester area by cab usually don't cost more than $15.00 one way.  Med City 7.0 / Yellow Cab 7.0   Dispatch Call Center:  I've heard from numerous customers about
