Had lunch here today. Counter service for ordering but food prepared quickly and brought to table. I had the best pupusas I've ever had and excellent fish tacos as well. My companion also enjoyed the pupusas and the platanos. The place was clean and spacious. I will be back.

Very good. I went in for taco Tuesday. Carnitas was excellent. Prices on their other food is good too. Just fresh, good Mexican food.

Came here because I was told it was the best Mexican restaurant near by. Sorry, but white people make the worst ethnic food recommendations. It wasn't the worst Mexican restaurant, but it was mediocre at best. The tacos were decent. The burrito was tasteless. The salsa was pretty good. The prices were very reasonable.

Food tastes fresh and delicious!! I'm just happy they took off the flan on caviar because I hated being tempted and disappointed.

Excellent breakfast! Had egg white omelette, spinach, grilled red onion, tomatoes and fresh fruit. Not on menu , they were flexible.

Best tacos ever! I don't really know what to say besides that! Gotta get some Carnitas tacos, platinos, and/or chips and guacamole.

Sadly I must give three stars even though the food was very good and the service very nice. But I am allergic to perfume and the waitress had on clothing washed in insanely strong perfumed laundry products- probably those awful, awful dryer sheets,and every time she came by I just got sicker and sicker and more and more nauseaus due to the strong scent mixed with the good food in my tummy.

The food was okay but taquitos made my stomach feel weird for a few days. Won't be coming back.

Went for $2 Taco Tuesdays. Order the fish, chicken and steak tacos. The fish taco was delicious. Reminded me of Rubio's fish taco but not as greasy. The chicken was OK, but I felt they overcooked the steak. Spacious and relaxing environment. There weren't too many people when we went around 7pm. One negative I had was they ran out of soap in the bathroom and the trash bin was overflowing with paper towels. They were nice and quick when I asked them to refill the soap dispenser since the idea of eating tacos with dirty hands was unappealing. Overall, 3.5 stars.

La Crema gets 5 stars from everyone in our large party of ~20. It's not easy to accommodate so many people with dining preferences, but we found that there's something here for everyone. All of us had an excellent impression based on the food. We ordered dishes from across the spectrum: vegetarian burrito, chicken with mole, pupusa's, ..., and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their entree. The sangria also received a 4.5/5 rating from someone in our party. I have been here twice now, and this time La Crema knocked it out of the park. The food arrived in reasonable time, and was flavored very well. The mole in my entree was intensely flavored and a tad spicy...yum! (Last time unfortunately a gentlemen in our party did not get served until 45 minutes after the first person in our party received their food, and by that point he had to leave....it was a shame.) The waitress was also very courteous and polite, which is not always easy to do with a large party. She handled us well! We would love to come back here for more good food and memorable times.

One of the absolute best meals I've had in awhile, excellent service and the most delicious burrito!! I got the vegetarian with black bean option and added guacamole. The serving is huge too. 10/10 Shocked that it only has 3.9 stars on Google.

The service was good and the food was tasty and not heavy. The Father's Day crowd had a good flow as well.

This place was mediocre at best. Those who say it's authentic...I am not sure how that can be. At least my husband and I did not feel sick after eating here. It's the best i can say.

Nice, low key, cheap, and yummy. Limited beer and wine list. Plenty of space. Good for kids. Good for vegetarians.
