La Mexicana Bakery & Taqueria

I have been here twice now and can’t quite seem to figure out what the hype is about. I’ve gotten the shrimp quesadilla, California burrito, carne asada, tostadas, and bakery items. It’s all just meh, and overpriced in my opinion. Today I got vegetable tostadas and carne asada and it was $30. Ok fine, the “vegetable” menu items always seem to befuddle restaurants- it was lettuce. I don’t get it. It’ll be my last foray to this place.

The food here is absolutely amazing! Have their food once and every time you pass by their location, you'll want to swing in and grab something. I crave their California Burrito daily...it has french fries. You can have something different each time and that will be your new favorite dish. The pastries and pan dulce are really good too. They make Mexican wedding cookies, which we ordered for our wedding recently. They're a little different than what you'd find in Southern Texas, but still delicious! I see a couple people commenting on the customer service and seating. As long as you know what you want and don't hold up the line (because the line can be out the door), you'll have a great experience! They're very friendly and helpful but are also trying to serve everyone and take orders. There aren't many seats inside, but we place our orders for pickup through the phone, which is our preference anyways.

Food was great, definitely has a southern California touch. Staff are friendly, I like home styled restaurant vibe too. Had the California burrito, I was charged extra for jalapeño and sour cream even tho it's listed as an included item on their site. $14.50 for a California burrito is very pricy. For birria tacos they charge an additional $3 for consume soup even tho its a standard part of the dish. Prices on the site are very outdated. Just be prepared for hidden charges regardless. Tostadas were delicious, I had the carne Tostadas. Good size and good price. January 2022 update: I went again this morning, we got 6 tacos, 2 toastadas, and a bean and cheese burrito. Food seemed as if it had been reheated and poorly so. Was lacking freshness and some of it was still cold. The cheese in the burrito wasn't melted. The taco carne, lengua, and chorizo were cold. Only other thing in the tacos was onion.

HANDS DOWN best birria tacos I’ve had in this area no lie. They were my first ever queso birria taco w consome, so I waited until I tried from a few other shops to make an opinion. I went back again today and I can finally say YES they are so amazing and #1 to me. The tacos are slightly crispy, piping hot, super flavorful and thick consome so it’s PACKED w so much goodness when you dip. Cheese was crispy from oozing out on the grill. Even better paired w horchata. Try them out!
