All of our meals were amazing! I got the chicken fajita quesadilla and it was monstrous! And delicious! Of course we got guacamole and cheese dips. Yummm! My daughter and I shared a large margarita. It was ok, a little weak, especially for the price we paid. Staff was very nice and attentive. Definitely recommend!

This place has the best street tacos we have ever had! I got Al pastor and my partner got chicken and carnitas. So flavorful and good portions. The margaritas are soooo good. The staff was very kind and made sure we had everything we needed! Definitely our new fave place.

1st time there, with a group. A bottle of pop, a bottle of Modelo and 4 taco's was a little over $30 + tip. I thought the price was steep. But everywhere is now it seems.
My friend got a Pablano pepper that looked awesome. Wish I'd of tried that. Flavor was fine. Didn't have crunchy taco shells either.
It's worth another try sometime but not very local to me living 50 miles north. Also the salsa was very good.

I travel all over the country for work. There’s mexican restaurants everywhere. There is no comparison. La Mexicana is the ONLY Mexican restaurant you want if you want to taste south of the border. Yum.

Probably one of the most unique Mexican restaurants I've been at in terms of menu items offered. Service was great too.
Air temperature a bit hot though.

What a great little restaurant. Have driven by it so many times but have never stopped in until today. Let me start by saying their chips and salsa are seriously slapping. I assume they are fried in house. So good.

Decent amount of choice on the menu, lots of things with tortillas and then things like fish, tamales, menudo, etc

Prices are very reasonable for the large portion sizes

The food is so fresh and so full of flavor. The drinks are amazing. The service is wonderful. My husband and I drive an hour just to come here.

Parking: It is street parking but if you go on certain days parking is free. On other days you have to pay at the meter, but you download an app and pay through the app.
There is a parking lot that’s free but the closest parking to the door is meter parking

This place is my wife's absolute favorite for tamales. I'm here for the chips, salsa, horchata and enchiladas. Everything is super authentic.
