La Calentana is a hidden gem in Lakeland that offers fresh and authentic food. The restaurant features a food truck where customers can enjoy outdoor dining, with the outdoor seating area being accessible. The food truck serves delicious tacos and nachos, with the nachos described as able to feed a small family. The tacos are especially praised for their fresh corn tortillas made daily, and the menu includes a variety of options such as lengua, brain, tripa, and homemade chorizo. On weekends, they prepare traditional Birria tacos with goat, which are highly recommended. The asada alambre is also popular, served with sautéed onions, peppers, melted cheese, and plenty of tortillas—more than one person can typically eat. The restaurant offers homemade red and green sauces, with the red sauce being preferred for its spicy kick.
In addition to the food, the food truck serves delicious natural aguas frescas made with real fruit, which adds to the experience. Customers have enjoyed drinks like a watermelon pineapple mix, and the mango smoothie with chamoy, tajin, and candy gummies has also been a hit. La Calentana provides great food in a casual outdoor setting, ideal for those seeking authentic flavors rather than a high-end dining experience. Most customers order outside and take their food to go, enjoying the ample quantity and quality of the meals. Overall, La Calentana is a place worth visiting again, especially to try the tacos next time.
