Reviews For La Taqueria

The food was great! Loved the horchata and flan the most! Have flan was soooo smooth! I got the chicken and chorizo burrito. It was good but it had waaay too much rice. The queso chorizo dip was so good. I also really liked the corn but it seemed pretty obvious that the corn isn't cut from the cob fresh like it should. It's probably canned corn. If they used fresh sweet corn i bet it'd be delicious! The shrimp taco was so good too! I wasn't expecting so much inside for a cheaper menu option. The ceviche was very flavorful too! Loved it

Great tacos! Counter service, they come out really fast. I had el pastor - excellent! So many other tasty things on the menu that I didn’t get to try. Chips are great, real tortilla chips. Great salsa & guac. Nothing bad to say!

For a fast food place the Mexican food was fantastic. And pretty authentic. Including having options of the tongue and cheek meats for tacos. The chorizo was good not too very spicy. I had the chicken bowl with rice lettuce tomatoes some cheese refried beans it was fantastic. I was supposed to get a chipotle sauce not sure maybe it wasn't gluten free but I didn't get it and they missed my sour cream on the side. But it was my first time there I didn't know what to expect. The meal was fantastic without it. Gluten-free options and healthier foods than most fast food restaurants.

We really love coming to this place because the food and service are always top-notch. Every time we visit, we make sure to try something new from the menu, and we especially appreciate the variety of sauces they offer on the side. Personally, I can't get enough of their tacos. One of our absolute favorites is the Chicharrones De Harina with Valentino sauce – it's a must-try! And don't even get me started on the delicious cake they serve. It's a treat every time we come here.

I went with my husband and our two teen boys. The restaurant was great, very clean, good atmosphere, and fast service. It was expensive, but what isn't anymore? My family enjoyed the food. The only thing we wouldn't get again is the 3 leches cake, it had a plethora of frosting and was not flavorful. Everything else was fine.
