Their move to a bigger space seems to have gone well. The menu is a little bit bigger and there's more interesting stuff to explore. They also now have table service. Had three tacos yesterday and loved them all but the beef cheek was the best. Congratulations on your move across the parking lot. Looking forward to diving deeper into the new menu items!

Wow. Absolutely incredible. I got the Alambre Hawaiian and it is probably the best food I've had in a long time. So flavorful and the meat was perfectly cooked. Had a lovely char on it. It was huge, so a good meal to share or to take some leftovers home! I also loved the topping bar they had with different sauces/salsas.

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, bu

Nice Mexican restaurant in Rice Lake. As someone who is used to "authentic" Mexican food, I was honestly a bit skeptical of La Autenica. The skepticism was unwarranted. This is truly on the same level as other real Mexican establishments. The food is quite good and you get good portions. The pricing is very reasonable. The atmosphere is casual but fun. Would recommend.

La Auténtica in Rice Lake has the best authentic Mexican street food! They offer the best margaritas , micheladas, and my fave street tacos with a complementary salsa bar. Love this place and I would recommend it to locals and anyone visiting the area.
