Crazy how many authentic Mexican places there are in Harvard. It seems out of place for a small…read morefarming town for real. La Loncherita is another one of these. Actually it's more like a convenience store than a cafe. This has a dining area, so you can eat it here or take it wherever. About the most authentic Mexican food you can get around here, super authentic. It has the area to order food in the back. There's a dining area with a few tables. If a few people come in here it will be crowded. Very cramped and full of local Mexicans. Food menu is pretty limited. There's tacos. It's about $5 each. These are bigger than the fast food type of style. Have to say it's more like a convenience store than a restaurant to be honest. It's limited and it's pretty cramped inside. There's also lots of Mexican groceries and things.

I opened up Yelp and found this little taqueria in the cute downtown of Belvedere so we decided to stop here. The inside definitely makes you feel like you're at a family owned restaurant. It reminds me of all of the pizzerias I went to as a kid in New York. The staff are all incredibly friend and funny and were cracking jokes the whole time to our table. They offer a wide selection of Mexican specialties from some of the more common ones to some of the harder to find ones. Lately, I've been on a Gordita kick so I ordered the Gordita dinner. The rice and beans were so good, and the fresh tortillas, along with the beautiful meat inside were all perfect. I wasn't expecting to have such incredible Mexican in this part of the US, but I need to reassess my biased because this was fantastic. Highly recommend!

Barely looks big enough to be a restaurant to be honest. The place has more of a homeliness to it, which can be charming if wanting to focus on the good meal. Any decent Mexican restaurant should have margaritas as well as free chips. It's about $9 for the cheapest margaritas. These have several flavors including classic lime, as well as mango and strawberry. Maybe these aren't too strong, but there's enough to get a buzz. The food has typical favorites like tacos, and because it's authentic there's also tortas. It's about $12 for a burrito. These are pretty big and packed full of stuff. Lots of fajita vegetables and especially great with jalapeños. These can be made vegetarian by not getting meat. If wanting meat though, you have choices. There's beef, chicken, chorizo, pork, steak, and tongue. Check the hours before going. It often closes for private parties. These often happen on weekends.

Chips and salsa were fantastic. Definitely tasted home made. Bistek a la Mexicana came in a large portion with lot of onions, fresh jalapeños, and tomatoes.

Would come back here again if I were in the area, but I would pick something else from the menu. All in all not bad, but not great.

Has a pretty basic menu of Mexican American favorites. The margaritas are better than the food it seems. Anyone can figure out this isn't going to be authentic. It may be just what you expect from a Mexican restaurant in this kind of town. The drinks may be the best things as far as value. It's about $6.50 for a pretty big margarita. These may not be strong, but they're pretty good tasting. As for the food, it's food. There's the usual like burritos and tacos. Protein choices are all meaty. There's not a whole lot for vegetarians. It's $6.50 for Chips And Guacamole. The chips tasted pretty old and stale. Basic. The guacamole was pretty plain to be honest. Come here and don't expect much to be good. It may be good for the locals. Those who know more about Mexican food won't like the food as much though.
