Customer Reviews
La Unica, Mexican Eatery is such a gem! So glad to have found this spot. Kind and thoughtful service. Highly recommend the pork and rajas (not pictured). The salsas are delicious too! If you are looking for something for extra spicy be sure to request some hot sauce. Looking forward to returning and trying other menu items! Happy to have found a new fave spot.
Its name says it all. A unique restaurant! You won't find a better place for authentic Mexican food. Tacos, flautas, quesadillas, empanadas... I've tried them all, and each one is better than the last. And I can't forget to mention the warm, friendly, family-like service provided by Rafa and his entire team. A must-visit or the best delivery option to enjoy with your family.
One of the best Mexican restaurants I’ve ever been to! Even as a vegetarian, I was impressed by how many delicious options there were. Every dish was perfectly seasoned and bursting with flavor. Definitely don’t miss getting the tres leches, it melts in your mouth and was not overly sweet! The owner, Raphael, was incredibly warm and welcoming—it was such a joy chatting with him. Can’t wait to come back!
AMAZING—La Unica was absolutely outstanding! Every Tuesday, they offer a fantastic “Taco Tuesday” deal: buy two tacos, get one free. We sampled all the tacos they offer, and each one was phenomenal in its own unique way. The guacamole was unbelievably good, and we also indulged in all three desserts, which were mind-blowing! Even the salsas were exceptionally flavorful. This is the best Mexican food I’ve ever had in this area. The staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. The wonderful gentleman who served us guided us through the entire menu with expertise. I would highly recommend this place to anyone and everyone!
I catered from here for a group of 10. Rafa was so incredibly helpful and accommodating with our order. The food came out delicious and so incredibly fresh. Prices are very reasonable as well. We did a build your own taco bar. Our guests loved everything! Especially the birria and guacamole. No pics, sadly. We ate as soon as it arrived!
