La Mexicana Restaurant

In one month this place dropped off my favorites list. They quit making the breakfast omelette that was great. I ordered the shrimp burrito, what a mistake. Small not good quality shrimp! The filling isn’t good and they don’t fry their tortilla crispy at all, just soft. This sucks for a shrimp burrito, December….This is a great breakfast option and seen plenty of locals walking in for lunch. The omelettes are enormous and delicious, no cheap chef bs here! The Guaymas Omelette is something I’d recommend driving an hour for. Nice server and calm inside. Their salsa is delicious too 🙌🏽

This place is such a gem! I can’t imagine how many times I must have passed it when I’ve been in town visiting my mom. Went here on a whim with a friend from SLO tonight and we were both blown away with the quality of the food, drinks, and service. The decor is special! It feels like a vintage diner time capsule. The food was exactly what I’d hoped for from a sit down Mexican spot—we both got a combo plate with a cheese enchilada and shredded beef taco. Everything was seriously delicious. So glad to have found my favorite Mexican spot in A-town (after nearly 15 years of misses).

The best kept secret if you want a steak. This is the best Mexican food I've had in North County. I judge Mexican food starting with the rice and beans, and theirs is exceptional. It's a diner style environment, so if you're looking for hipster Mexican get on down the road. Otherwise this is the place.

My husband and I enjoyed our scrumptious dinner very much. He had two beers while I enjoyed a sparkling sangria soda. The service was off-the-hook! We certainly recommend that anyone in the area try to dine at this restaurant! Thank you, Donna and Eric

My best friend and I wanted to try something new, and we found that La Mexicana was a walkable distance to us. I'm not sure why we haven't tried it before, but the food here is GOOD. Hot and fresh, I'd usually take a picture before eating, but it was so good I couldn't help but start eating before I took the picture. There was more food before my best friend and I started. We ordered the platter for dinner (around $25-29). Sharing it was not an issue whatsoever. We couldn't finish it by the end. The proportions are Costco levels, which make it so good for the price. Could realistically feed three people in my opinion, unless you were really hungry. The waiters and people inside were so kind, and we didn't even have to try to ask them anything. They were always generous and helping. The atm
