This is a great restaurant to visit, the food was authentic, the service was great. The restaurant gave of the vibe of family but also business casual. Everything we ordered was exactly how we wanted it and expected it. There was plenty of parking too.

We were in Rice Lake and hungry for some Mexican food. The reviews of this place looked great. Short story, La Autentica is great!
The chips they brought were light and crisp. Just fantastic. The house made salsa to go with them was exceptional. Not spicy. Just how a mild salsa should be. Fresh. Tastes great.
I saw they had their “Famous” Walking taco bowls. I got that with the Asada for the meat. A little pricy, but it was so delicious. One of the best things I’ve ever had at a Mexican restaurant. If it cost less, I probably would have eaten two of them it tasted so good. Plenty of food, I certainly didn’t go away hungry, I just wanted to keep eating it was so delicious.
My son got the chimichanga with house made chorizo. It was incredibly tasty. Not really spicy, like most chorizo, but just below a medium heat. Great taste and good portions.
If you’re ever in Rice Lake, give La Autentica a try. As their name says, absolutely authentic Mexican food. Thanks for the great meal!

We stopped in for lunch on 8/10/25 Sunday, our first full day of vacation. WOW!! Amazing food, quick friendly service, and a nice comfortable atmosphere in a modern, sleek, and tastefully decorated space. The place is great for couples, small or large groups, and is super clean. The food: nice yet not overwhelming menu with good choices from tacos, quesadillas, tamales, and a good choice of seafood items. I had the quesadilla with birria, rice and beans. It was stuffed! with flavorful tender meat - no need for salsas since it was so tasty. The rice and beans had good flavor. I also got the grilled jalapenos which were delicious. My husband ordered the pork tamales which were huge and also stuffed with delicious tender shredded pork. When I asked if they had a spicy salsa, I was directed to a covered metal condiment station filled with 5 different sauces, sour cream, cut limes, sliced radish, pickled red onions and carrots, and more. SO exciting!! I so hope people frequent this place and plan to return again before our vacation ends and returning next year!!!
