La Tia Taqueria is a culinary delight that deserves every one of its five stars! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with the irresistible aroma of freshly prepared Mexican cuisine. The menu is a tantalizing symphony of flavors, offering a diverse selection of tacos, burritos, and other authentic Mexican dishes that will transport your taste buds south of the border. Each bite bursts with freshness and authenticity, showcasing their dedication to quality ingredients and traditional recipes. The vibrant and welcoming atmosphere adds to the overall experience. This is the first place where we’ve been to in a long time where the management (Les) made it a point to remember everyone’s name in the party and made himself available for any questions at any moment. With friendly service and food that exceeds expectations, La Tia Taqueria is a must-visit destination for anyone craving authentic Mexican cuisine!

FIVE STARS!!!!!!! Truly the most amazing food and service I have received in this town. I have been there twice and each time has been amazing. Les was our waiter and he was so welcoming and had a great sense of humor. We met Leo who is one of the owners and he was incredibly kind as well! I truly could not recommend this place enough!! The Birria tacos are 10/10, the best I’ve ever had!

Awesome, authentic Mexican restaurant. They have all the traditional Mexican dishes plus specialty items that set this restaurant above the rest. I had the braised short ribs that was spectacular. This and a few other specialty items set this restaurant above the rest.

The birria tacos and quesadillas were unbelievably good. I couldn’t stop eating the salsa. Their spicy margaritas are on point too. We have put La Tia in the rotation and will be back again.

Had a luncheon here last week and everything was so good I came back this week for dinner. Their skinny spicy margaritas are so fresh and delicious. We had the pastor and birria tacos and quesadillas and they were fantastic. They also have a private room that is great for events. Cannot say enough great things about La Tia!
