Enjoyed this restaurant. Lots of seating. Paper menus would be nice as the menu board is in an odd spot and up high. Food was all delicious. Music would be nice in there . Theres seating outside as well.

The Birria Tacos are amazing. Crunchy tortilla. The cheese is nice and creamy and the sauce has all the right flavors

La Tienda its just the perfect place if you want to eat real authentic mexican food. We started off with a trio of Guacamole, Queso Fundido, and Salsa. We ordered 6 Tacos and the Birra Tacos were the best by far. The Camarones a la Diabla were also very rich in flavor. However, the reason for the 4 starts is due to the slow service, the kitchen to table execution could have been much better. Overall, amazing food.

This place is always a great experience. The price for the food for the portion you get is fantastic and the quality is not only consistent but it is consistently great! I have never had a bad dish or experience here. Be it eat in or take home. A cute little bonus is the back grocery store they have. They are also super realistic about wait time/pick up time. Obviously because this is a gem lunch hour is always swamped but everything is still put out in great timing. I have never waited more than 20 minutes for food even when packed. My family and I have been going to this place since we moved 7 years ago. Do yourself a favor and eat here, and definitely work your way across the menu you wont be disappointed.

I wish I lived closer to try all their menu items. I had carnitas tacos and the pork was very well marinated, not too greasy and the portion was generous. Very authentic feel to the restaurant. It's a mexican store extended with plenty of tables indoors and around the wraparound porch of the restaurant. Amazing food and great place to relax and have a beer on any given day!

I went to La Tienda this weekend, and had a great experience as per usual. This local latin restaurant is always clean, the atmosphere fits the fun latin flare, but is relaxed enough to stop by just for a quick bite to eat and the staff are always friendly. I went with my friend and we always have to get an order of chips and salsa to share because the salsa ingredients are so fresh, and the chips always come out hot and crispy. By far our favorite salsa in Gainesville. My favorite recommendation is the pollo tacos, I order them each time I come and I am always satisfied. You get three corn tortillas, piled high with pulled chicken, onions and cilantro toppings. So delicious and filling. I recommend La Tienda to anyone coming to Gainesville looking for the perfect place to eat for lunch or dinner, if you want the fun casual dining experience of a local restaurant in your favorite college town.

I hesitate to give 5 stars but make no mistake this is the best and most authentic Mexican food in the area. I have lived in the Southwest and have eaten a lot of Tex-Mex food, this is the place in North Florida. I have driven from Gainesville to Hatch, New Mexico for their annual "Pepper Festival" so I take this type of cuisine seriously, La Tienda is as good as it gets without taking a long trip. I highly recommend you give it a try. However, if Taco Bell or Las Margaritas is your idea of good Mexican food, you will not like this place. If you want plush surroundings, save yourself a trip, if excellent food is your measure for judging a Restaraunt, head for this cantina.

Very surprised that the beef cheeks were the most moist and best flavor out of all the tacos we got! Chicken was dry and the barbacoa was dry and flavorless
Melissa Kowal
Awesome authentic Mexican food and sooooo very reasonably priced! This place came highly recommended and it did not disappoint! Four of us all ordered something different and we loved it! Chips and salsa were also super fresh and flavorful and they had one of the best queso dips I have ever eaten.... Can't wait to go back!

Just love this place. Been here a number of times and had a wonderful experience every time. 3 tacos for $6 is the best deal for me(beats any Taco Tuesday deal IMO) but their meals are excellent as well. Have tried a few of them and each had a unique flavor of its own!
Bob Nagy
Excellent tacos, maybe a little dry but lots of flavor. Salsa great but too hot for some people.

Expected more from this place! My food was horrible..The chicken was unbelievably DRY, I couldn’t even eat it. Waste of money and really disappointed

This is a very authentic Mexican eatery! I discovered it a few years ago! While attending a meeting we took our lunch break and thus I was introduced to some very good and very authentic Mexican food! If you are looking for a fancy environment with live mariachi band and linen table cloths with fine silverware then you have come to the wrong place! The service can be a little slow at peak times, but then what restaurant doesn't! If you decide to have a vegan meal, well it's really going to be slow! It's like going to a fine steak or chop house and ordering a fish dinner! You don't! Go to a seafood restaurant! laTienda is outstanding for quality and portions! If someone is visiting me and they decide they want Mexican then this is the place! Most of the restaurants in Swampville are watered down anyway because of the disparity in population! The so called high end restaurants are want-to-be places! La friends is always an excellent choice! No false pretenses here!!!!!

Worst customer service ever!! Ordered a burrito, got home and the burrito was missing its rice and beans so i did not eat it, called back the next day and they told me they could only give me the rice and beans for the burrito that has now been sitting in the fridge. Asked for a refund and they said they can only give me a refund for the rice and beans, not for the burrito that went uneaten. Currently waiting for a call from the manager.

Stopped in on our way to Miami and the food here is top notch.

Authentic Mexican food at great prices. Typical meal with tons of food for < $10.
John Robbins
Awesome, authentic Mexican food. Large portions (I couldn't finish my plate) at a fair cost. I'm new to the area and this was my first trip to La Tienda and it won't be my last!

This is a great place to eat authentic Mexican food, and not expensive at all.
