★★★★☆ 4.0 Our NH Hill · Sep 2025

Stoped for lunch when passing through town. Atmosphere and service is great. Good was good and plentiful.

★★★★★ 5.0 Gabriel Jourdain · May 2024

First time going here. It looks like a hole in the wall from the outside but it is really nice on the inside. It is very very big inside, They have it cut off in two sections. The restaurant side that is very nice and then and open area side that can be used for dancing, parties, or whatever. Our Server was a very nice lady call Leonela that helped us so much and was very nice at making use we had everything we wanted. Keep up the good work everyone that works there. And Thanks again Leonela for the best service I have had in a long time at a nice restaurants.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Just “P” · Dec 2025

Sorry, I was hoping for authentic Mexican food, but found the carnitas which you cannot go wrong with was deep fried using used chicken frying oil. Did not taste good at all. Carnitas is cooked with lard, oranges, Mexican coca cola and doesn’t need to be fried. My friend got Molajete, tasted sweet but the veggies were fresh. Corn tortillas were not good either.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Sherry R · Dec 2022

My husband and I have been here two or three times now. The food is very good. I love getting their shredded beef tacos. The meat is nice and tender, and they remind me of the tacos in CA. It's nice that they provide white sauce with their chips, as some places charge extra for that. Our server was nice and made sure we were well taken care of. Service was a bit slow, but we were warned that it might be because of a party being there at the same time.

★★★★★ 5.0 Brent Dockum · Mar 2024

This is by far the best Mexican restaurant in this area and surrounding area! If you want authentic, this is it. We will only eat at LA Tiendita for Mexican from now on. Amazing job to all the cooks and servers!
