Great tasting Mexican food in a 'hole in the wall'. Authentic and cheap including the Mexican soap opera on Univision :-)

If you're in Kings Beach and craving legit, no-frills Mexican food, La Mexicana absolutely…read moredelivers. Easy 5 stars. The fish tacos were LOADED with large pieces of deep-fried fish. They were excellent. Like, the kind where you pause mid-bite and nod. The enchiladas were exactly what you want after a long Tahoe day: cheesy, saucy, and piping hot in the best kind of way. Comfort food perfection. Everything tasted fresh and made with care. A couple quirks to know going in: * Beware the green salsa. It is SPICY. Do not mistake it for guacasalsa. It's actually spicier than the red salsa and has some serious kick. * Chips aren't free and only come in one large size, so plan accordingly if you're just looking for a small side. Overall, fantastic food, generous portions, and totally worth the stop. We'll definitely be back next time we're in town.

Solid We stop by…read morethis hole wall in call La Mexicana/ grocery store after Sand Harbor Beach to pick up some street style tacos togo. We ordered a total of 7 tacos and one tacos plate that comes with 2 tacos and rice and beans. Each tacos was $3.99 each. Don't let the price fool you like i did. Their street style tacos are a lot bigger then what we are use to in LA and very generous with the meat. You can definitely make 2 tacos with one. As for the meat we ordered the Asada, Pastor,Lengua, Buche and Cabeza. The pastor was just ok but the rest of the meat was delicious. Their salsa are were fantastic with a kick and they have 4 different types they give you. Ask for extra red salsa. Service was friendly and simple. You order from the outside and they'll call you number when it's done. Overall, food was solid and satisfying.

I recently went to Truckee and tried Old Town Tap. We got there and found spots at the bar really…read morefast. They were playing one of the soccer games on the TVs, which was fun to watch. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, and it's actually pretty spacious inside. We did have to wait a little bit to get a menu, but once we got one, we ordered our drinks and food. We got the Margherita pizza, and it was SO good! I loved how crispy the crust was. When you picked up a slice, it didn't just flop over. It stayed nice and crispy. It had so much flavor, and I was seriously so happy with it. I also got the Help Wanted drink, and it was really good too. I think I found my new favorite pizza spot! If you're ever in the area, I definitely recommend stopping by. I'm already planning to go back so I can try more of their pizzas and appetizers!

Old Town Tap used to be one of my favorite places to stop whenever I was in Truckee, but the last…read moretwo visits have been a disappointment. The quality of the food, and the care that used to go into preparing and presenting it, has completely fallen off a cliff. During my most recent visit this week I noticed that much of the kitchen staff seemed to be different from the team I've seen over the past few years. The pizza was genuinely disappointing. The crust lacked flavor, the toppings were sparse and it felt like something that had been rushed out of the kitchen with little attention to detail. Even the presentation was careless, which was surprising because this restaurant used to take pride in what they served. It's frustrating to see a place that I used to recommend decline this much. I really hope the upper management takes a look at what's happening to the restaurant because the Old Town Tap I used to enjoy no longer seems to exist.

Delicious food and warm and friendly people!…read more Had dinner here tonight. Ordered a beet salad, meat lovers pizza and a flight of beer tastings (4 flavors) First off the Server was wonderful! Very warm and very friendly to talk with. She was always checking on me to make sure my water glass was full and how b my meal was. Super nice person!! The beet salad is "To Die For!" The dressing on this fabulous! So tasty it's addicting! The beets, candied walnuts and cheese mixed with the arugula was such a fantastic and delicious combo! I'd drive 4 hours just for this salad! The all meat pizza is delicious! The tangy tomato sauce is a very welcomed change of flavor when compared to other pizzas. The sour dough crust is a welcome change too! Very tasty with the tasty meat toppings! The beer flight I had was delicious! I liked the first one a lot! I'm not a very big drinker but I liked the first one. The stout is very delicious too with a fairly strong coffee flavor. All the beers were very yummy! Great ambiance to just hang out all day or night long passing the day drinking tasty beer and eating delicious food! Please see the pictures below and let your eyes do the feasting!!

I had a honeymoon period with TBC when I was coming mostly for the burgers. The burgers are great…read more But I gave up eating beef and things have been a bit mixed since... GREAT: wings, fries, beet salad NOT GREAT: Fish and chips (they're fish sticks) chicken parm sandwich (they're chicken tenders), pizza (sure is a pretty pizza oven though) Also, the dining room is small, and too often the setting for employee drama played out in full view of customers. Maybe schedule a team meeting and hash it out there? Things don't usually improve when the employees are more self-involved than they are concerned about customers. That's not why we visit.
