Customer service is the worst. They charged 24 dollars more than they should have and when I asked them if I could get my money back, they told me the manager would call the next day. I waited and they never called and I had to call them. They just gave me $8 back. Never going back. read more

Thank you Yelp reviews! I don't know if I would have stopped here without your great reviews. As soon as I sat down I was immediately given chips and fresh salsa. The Horchata had to be the largest drink I have ever received in a restaurant (and it was delicious). I ordered the shrimp fajita and was pleasantly surprised by how many shrimp were on the plate. They were cooked perfectly and I love that it was topped with a grilled jalapeno. I also tried the choriqueso, which was fantastic with their fresh chips. I'll be back. read more

This place is super authentic and has amazing food, we stop here every time we are in Bismarck. If you haven't stopped by and ate here you are missing out. read more

We love this local Mexican restaurant! The food is fantastic, great service & delicious margaritas. We definitely found our favorite Mexican restaurant in town! read more

Terribly slow service, when the food finally arrived it was cold, cheese was a congealed block, salsa was weak and watered down, it seems as if there is anymore than two tables at a time it is considered a rush and the server will keep apologizing when he does make it to your table. Things like water are forgotten when you ask for them, and there may or may not be a distinct hint of racism when it comes to the order that you get you food. Read into that what you will. Where I come from everyone's money is green. read more

We had date night and decided to order takeout. WOW I am so impressed with La Enchilada. I read tons of reviews on Yelp for Mexican food and this looked the best. We ordered 1 of each of their street tacos. They were absolutely delicious. Every flavor was perfect! Not one was missing any extra jazz. They are simple with just cilantro, onions, and meet but the meet is BOMB.COM. We also ordered the Steak Fundido Plate - steak smothered in queso over sautéed onions. Again so delish. The queso was full of flavor and wasn't rubbery. I was really impressed with how great the rice and beans were. Usually those are just kind of a last min thing thrown together but these were a great addition. Definitely order extra rice. Lastly, we ordered the shrimp cocktail - the Coctel de Camaron and here I go on another rave - but amazing! Gigantic shrimp, the broth was so good I actually drank the leftovers (LOL), lots of onion, cilantro, and avocado. I have told so many people about this little hidden gem over the weekend. I am new to Bismarck and many locals didn't even know it existed. I can't wait to come back for margaritas! Amateur photos - but best Mexican food I have had in along time!! read more

Very good quick lunch! We came to Bismarck for a day work trip. The Birria Torta and steak quesadillas were really good! I loved their rice also! read more

Ordered from BiteSquad for delivery, was disappointed, and I hope the food served at restaurant is better than this. Carnita with green salsa was the only plate we finished. The choriqueso had good chunks of meat and was spicy, but tasted sweet as well, very strange. Everything was bland - the rice, the beans, the guacamole, and the al pastor fajitas.....and I'm a spice/salt wimp. No color on the veggies at all, meat was chewy, tortillas aren't homemade. 4 meals, 2 apps, happy with 1. read more

La Enchilada - Al pastor fajitas - Mexican Near Me - Bismarck, North Dakota

Rolled in during a road trip looking for anything outside of large fast food chains. Hit the jackpot here. Ordered a batch of tacos (picked several from asade, chicken and pork) and ordered a chicken fajita for good measure. Everything was tasty and intensely seasoned. price is super reasonable as well. we ordered to-go, inside the joint was not remarkable, but they must be doing well as they have two large screen flat screens that pump sports on the tube. for sure would return. read more

The food was absolutely fantastic! My husband got 2 chicken chimichangas with a green sauce. The chimichangas were stuffed full of chicken and cheese. I got the Steak de la Mexicana without the tortilla and it was phenomenal. My kids got quesadilla and fries and the fries were fried to literal perfection. The service was good too. We want to come back again when we're in Bismarck. read more

I wanted to like it. The decor was authentic and so was the menu. Sopes! The tacos look muy bueno, but I wanted to test the sauces so ordered the enchilada plate which was pricey for lunch-time at $12.95, but included three enchildas. The plate arrived with soupy and not very flavorful refried beans, red, bland rice and three small enchiladas. One was ground beef (maybe should've requested shredded, but more on that later), one was cheese and one was chicken. I ordered red sauce on the beef and cheese and green sauce on the chicken. To me, enchilada sauce is the mark of good Mexican cooking because it uses a variety of dried chilies. These sauces were meh, the red being a bit more robust and the green watery. The service was a bit surly. I made the mistake of not ordering when first given the opportunity and finally had to flag the guy to take my order. And, no the place wasn't very busy, probably about a third of the tables in use. I had to ask for a refill on soda water three times before receiving one. When I got the bill, I'd been up-charged 3 dollars. Two for the soda water & refill and one for the salsa piquante I'd requested. Wasn't informed I'd be charged for a spicy dipping sauce. Suspect I would've been charged more if I'd request the shredded beef. Disappointing. If I come back, I'll try the street tacos which did look good. read more

First visit to North Dakota and wanted to sample some Mexican food while this far north. Pretty darn great. Had a couple of tacos and the verde sauce was spice tasty and great. The chips and salsa were perfect. Tacos were authentic and very good. Outside seating was a great choice, nice breeze and lotsa just right sun. Lil rough looking on the outside but well worth the trip. read more

OMG!!! We live in the SF Bay Area, land of over a 1000 Mexican restaurants, and this is GREAT!! The carne asada, Carnitas and shrimp tacos were exceptional each in their own way. The sweet plantains were the best I've had in years bar none. read more

Waited at our table for 10 minutes with being greeted or acknowledge as waitress bussed a table and checked on everyone else around us. She then went inside, we waited another 5 minutes before leaving without seeing here again. Not worth wasting your time. read more

I was delighted to find a real taqueria in Bismarck with authentic Mexican food! Having lived in both Northern & Southern California most of my life, this is my comfort food. House-made chips were hot and just the right amount of salty. Tacos were cheap (woo, Tuesday!) and there were a wide variety of meats to choose from. My family tried 5 different types, and the winners for us were shrimp and chicken. All the tacos came with a big fresh lime wedge. Yum! read more

Very authentic Mexican. Friendly service and probably the best mole I've ever had! Huge house margs, great guacamole, chips and salsa are incredible, and even had amazing lengua enchiladas (not on the menu). I've had a lot of authentic Mexican food in my life and this ranks near the top. Very surprised and thrilled to find this little gem on our way through North Dakota while we explore Bismarck for a couple days. read more

Delicious, authentic, service is awesome and great family owned small restaurant environment.

Awesome! We stopped in for a quick bite. Very clean and happy atmosphere. I love the chairsThe homemade chips and salsa are on point. We got a the quesso cheese dip, which is probably the best I've ever had. I had the pollo (chicken) tacos, which were excellent. My date had the barbacoa (beef) tacos, the meat was really tender and delicious. We talked with the owner and he said they're working on bringing even more authentic Mexican dinner items to the menu, which already has a great selection. Looking forward to our next visit! read more

Disappointing Our order was forgotten and we had to inquire about it. Some of the steak in the tacos was actually crunchy. The did give us a discount for the delay. read more

Awesome street tacos. Queso is poppin. Chips are home made. I order take out from here more often than I'd like to admit. LOL

We enjoyed dinner at La Enchilada this evening. Having traveled away from tourist areas in Mexico, I can confirm that the food is very authentic. I was able to speak with one of the employees and learned that this is a family owned and run business and that the family is new to the restaurant business. My date had tamales and I opted for the chicken mole' (which was delicious) and a Sole (cerveza, yum). The sauce had the sweet rich flavor of chocolate with a nice tangy heat at the finish. It was obvious that neither the chicken nor the sauce came from a can as nice saucy pieces of chicken were swimming in the obviously homemade sauce. The decor was acceptable and latin music videos were streaming to the large television in the dining room. These we found to be very entertaining and we both wound up sitting on the same side of the table to better see them. With drinks, the tab came to around $35. Alacarte selections including $2 tacos on Tuesday could result in a significantly lower bill. I will definitely return in the future and wish this family run business my best wishes. read more

San Diego resident here. Some might find this weird, but the house tortilla chips are as good as the best tortilla chips in San Diego. Well, El Indio's chips are on a different t planet, but other than that Enchilada's can hold their own. Barbacoa taco was ehhh but the El Pastor was banging. read more

Stopped in for business lunch. Great food and great service. Don't miss out on this place. Looks are deceiving. I will definitely stop back in when I'm in Bismarck. GREAT food. read more

Wow! This place is Killer. Real authentic street Tacos. Chorizo Cheese dip was amazing. Al Pastor and Assad's tacos were amazing. Get here as fast as you can read more

What great food! We stopped mid afternoon during the week and there were still a fair number of people eating. My husband and I had more than we could eat and it was very good! Service was excellent. Highly recommend! read more

Taco Tuesday! $2 tacos! This place is the real deal. It's authentic and delicious. The tacos are savory, the tortillas are wonderful, the horchata was sweet, the michiladas were perfect. Definitely worth a stop. read more

We're traveling and it's been a long day. Stopped here after reading reviews. The weekend special was ceviche. We love ceviche so we gave it a try. I enjoyed it but it was a little too spicy for my husband. He ended up getting a small green salad with chicken. They were so nice because there wasn't a small salad on the menu they just whipped up what my husband wanted. Including cooking up the chicken.....it wasn't shredded. This place is a little out of the way but it was close to where we're staying. We thought my google map was sending us on a wild goose chase. Give this place a try. read more

From the outside it doesn't look like much, but this is the best Mexican restaurant in North Dakota. If you love Western Mexican Food, you will love this place. They even serve Birria Tacos all day! 10/10 would highly recommend! read more

If you like getting screwed over for your money go here.I ordered a burrito and it was wack.The burrito was small and the beans and rice were cold.The waiter was unknowledgeable and didn't want to ask the kitchen staff.My friend ordered super nachos for $12 but they were small and should have been on the kids menu. read more

Wow this place is another great option for legit Mexican cuisine. The shredded chicken and pork fillings are moist, spicy, fresh and delicious. Had the chimi, fajitas, basic taco plates. Dang good service considering there is only one main server running the whole joint. Kudos dude. Can get busy and it will slow up/forget things during a boxing match or game. Had to pay an extra 5 bucks to dine in during a boxing match I didnt know about. Their "Jungle Juice" margarita is potent and good too. read more

How this place has a high star review I do not know. I will never go back here again. First the food made me sick for the rest of the day. Food was not good. The server was also lousy. He would not give us anything such as napkins, refills or anything really just the food that made me sick. Also the food was over priced. Compared to other locations in Bismarck this was by far the most expensive. My spouse is Mexican and the server is possibly racist against other Mexicans, I know it may seem far fetched but there it is. Server would stand far from us and was acting weird but a group of white people came in and he goes near them without issue and handed out all the usual restaurant items such as napkins, silverware and tortillas. My spouse had to ask for the tortillas and the guy had kind of an attitude about it. I would give this place a negative star but this is not an option. Not even one star but I am not able to give less in this format. read more

My wife and I visited today for the first time. We sat outside on their deck and enjoyed a nice late summer afternoon lunch. The food and service was very good. My wife had a couple of tacos and I had the steak Mexicana. The ingredients were fresh and the presentation was very appealing. We really enjoyed the complimentary chips and salsa before the meal. We thought these were the best chips in town by far, as well as the salsa. We think that for the money and for authenticity the La Enchilada can't be beat! read more

Awesome Mexican food! I'm from AZ and was looking for authentic Mexican while in Bismarck. This place didn't disappoint. They were in the process of revamping their menu, but everything we had was great. Chips and salsa were great and flavorful. Also, a lot of places don't have Mexican shrimp cocktail, but they did. It was incredibly flavorful and refreshing on a summer day. I will definitely be back when I'm in the Bismarck area! read more

Great Mexican food! Reminds me of how my mother and family make it. So nice when someone else makes your Mexican food instead of me always having to make it in this area. A super contender with El Guerro. Where as EL Guerro is your take out. This is your sit down with a blended margarita kind of place. I highly recommend it to anyone who like California coastal/Baja Mexican food. read more

We are from out of state and try to find an authentic Mexican place when we go out. La enchilada was great. The chips and salsa are among the best I've ever had. I had the chicken tacos, which were excellent. The only negative is that the prices seemed a little higher than what I'm used to for Mexican restaurants, but that seems to be a theme in Bismarck. read more
