Very disappointing. Had not eaten here in several years, food had little or no seasoning, queso was bland. I had the Fajita Taco Salad & it was 80% lettuce with maybe 5 pieces of chicken.
Will definitely not make a return visit!

Food is straight up—not that good. Atmosphere and service are both great! But, the rice wasn’t soft, the white queso was gritty/thick and had no chile seasoning, the enchiladas smelled and tasted like store bought El Monterey stuff. And the salsa.. so not good—no cilantro at all, and doesn’t taste fresh/juicy. Draft beer was cold and good. Strawberry Margarita was lackluster and not very good, cough syrupy. Our waiter was great though, awesome and timely service. Food was just dang near trash, farrr from authentic. Might I say white washed Mexican food.

Little Mexico has been one of my favorite places to eat for over 50 years. It tastes exactly the same and that's what I love about it the most! I can count on going in there after 15 years like this visit, just as delicious. The bartender 35 year employee, can use educated on how to be a little friendlier and have less of an attitude problem!

After we got our drinks, the service slowed down a bit, not so much that it was a problem, but still noticeable.
My margarita, no salt, on the rocks was delicious, George's Captain and coke was a very good pour also.
Chips and salsa are complimentary. One salsa has a very slight sweet taste while still being tangy, the second is fairly Warm!
I had beef Tamales with rice, beans, and guacamole. The sauce was also meaty and masa not too thick.
George and 1 of our friends each got taco salads. There was a good balance between lettuce, tomatoes, meat and cheese. The sweeter salsa made a nice substitute for salad dressing. Our other guest had a beef burrito. It was packed full of tender, seasoned beef, topped with cheese, lettuce and tomato.
All of our portions were big enough for 2.
It seems that there's good reason that they've been here so long. We will definitely visit again.

Great little place to eat, portions are good and food is really good. Every time i go everything is really good. Margaritas could have been better but all in all very good.

Absolutely.The worst tasty food of any mexican restaurant i've ever been at. The white cheese is not white cheese? It's some kind of tasteless creamy sauce. Me and my wife and my kids cat meals.Anonymous, eight any of it took it home and gave it to the dogs. The ambiance is really nice, though.It's probably one of the needest, decorated mexican restaurants I've ever been at. The guy that served us was really nice. However, you are there to eat and the food is not authentic mexican food. If it weren't for the nice gentleman and the ambiance, I would have given this plac one star. Sadly we will never ever eat there again. I frankly do not know how it stays open.
My favorite restaurant hands down. The tacos are the best...next to all their other food
Consistently good! Love this place!
One of our favorite places to eat. We've been eating at Little Mexico for over 45 years! I've never found the Cheese and Onion Enchiladas with the gravy anywhere else and they are delicious. We love the beef hard shell tacos too! Excellent service every time we go. We drove approximately 60 miles just to eat there and it was well worth it! Delicious!
If you’re used to authentic Mexican food, i’d pass on this place. The corn tortillas weren’t soft shells, the salsa’s were brown with no flavor, & they put A LOT of cheddar cheese on asada tacos? Veryyy strange. They call their queso, “cheese dip” & it has no kick, kinda just tasted like melted velveeta cheese.
