Sioux Falls has a food scene that surprises people. The city has Argentine dinners, modern Mexican cooking, handmade deli food, intimate tasting experiences, and neighborhood pizza places that feel deeply local. The best meals are not always the ones visitors expect, which is the fun of it.
These five off-the-beaten-path Sioux Falls restaurants are worth seeking out.
1. Tarquin
Tarquin is a hidden gem on the north end of Sioux Falls, bringing Argentine food, wine, music, and hospitality into a lively dinner setting. It is built around gathering, sharing, and the warmth of Argentine culture.
Expect empanadas, steak, Malbec, family recipes, and a room made for lingering with friends. Tarquin is ideal when you want dinner to feel like an evening rather than a transaction.
2. M.B. Haskett Delicatessen
M.B. Haskett Delicatessen has been serving downtown Sioux Falls since 2012 with ingredient-focused food, changing menus, and a community-minded spirit. It began with a simple idea: real food made by real people.
The menu often shifts, but expect sandwiches, deli plates, brunch items, baked goods, and food that feels handmade rather than assembled. M.B. Haskett is a downtown staple with hidden-gem soul.
3. BibiSol
BibiSol brings modern Mexican food and Indigenous technique to Sioux Falls, with dishes like tamales, tostadas, empanadas, sopes, and tacos. The restaurant connects South Dakota life with generations of Mexican culinary heritage.
The food is bold and unapologetic, full of masa, spice, texture, and story. BibiSol is one of the most exciting restaurants in town because it feels personal and rooted.
4. HK
HK is a chef-driven, multi-course dining experience led by chef Bryan Moscatello in downtown Sioux Falls. The restaurant focuses on seasonal ingredients, evolving menus, and a slower, more intentional style of hospitality.
This is the place for a special evening, a celebration, or anyone who likes trusting the chef. HK is intimate, composed, and proof that Sioux Falls dining can be ambitious without feeling stiff.
5. Sunny’s Pizzeria
Sunny’s Pizzeria is a family-owned neighborhood pizza joint built around thin-crust pies, community spirit, and a deeply local identity. It feels like the kind of place a neighborhood rallies around because it belongs to them.
