La Mejikana, a Mexican culinary gem in Pilsen, offers an unforgettable dining experience. The vibrant atmosphere and welcoming ambiance with a lot of energy and a fun vibe set the stage for a delightful meal. Their margaritas, crafted with fresh fruit daily, complement the authentic flavors of their dishes. Standout dishes include the octopus, cooked to perfection, and queso fundido, which is delicious. The birria tacos are GREAT and the Alita wings are also delicious. The lomito taco is a winner and the fish taco is really good, fresh, and crunchy. The food tastes so good and comes quickly. The restaurant boasts an impressive tequila and mezcal selection and provides friendly, attentive, and fast service. It is a very well run restaurant. The staff is especially accommodating to vegetarian and vegan dietary restrictions, offering black-bean entrees and a delicious Portobello epanada. Although the space can get busy and pretty packed, the lively atmosphere and music make it worth it. The restaurant’s small but mighty space creates a fun, energetic environment. Guests have praised the skirt steak for being juicy and tender. Service is friendly, and the automatic inclusion of gratuity and charges for inflation show support for local, hardworking businesses. Overall, La Mejikana is a fantastic place to enjoy great food, drinks, and a lively atmosphere, with many dishes recommended.
