The food here is consistently fresh and of the best quality that I have enjoyed regarding authentic Hispanic cuisine in East Texas. I drive an hour every week just to eat here and always leave more than satisfied with my experience dining at La Mexicana. The service is prompt, attentive, and extremely polite as well. Overall if I could give them more stars, I would. read more

This place doesn't look like much from the outside. Walked in and was greeted right away and told to sit where we want. They sell all drinks by the can or bottle. The menu is small, but the portions are HUGE! I got the children's chicken enchiladas with rice and beans. They were delicious! My husband got the chicken Diablo and it was really good and fresh! You can tell everything is made to order and hot! Our server kept checking on us and the place started to get pretty busy! We will be back when passing through. If you live in the area, you're lucky!! read more

Stopped in for Saturday breakfast and was pleased with the menu and it's options. Delicious homestyle cooking with Huevos Rancheros and Huevos con Chorizo and what had to be homemade corn tortillas. Their guacamole was my perfect type with not too many tomatoes and no overwhelming peppers. The restaurant is quite humble - nothing fancy - but clean and their bathrooms are great! Service was excellent, but there can be some language differences. I couldn't remember the words fir some things, but that was easily fixed with help from Google translate. read more

I called in an order for the birria taco plate which I saw on an old menu on Yelp as the #20. I was passed among 3 people on the phone before an employee that spoke well enough English could confirm my order. Once arriving I saw a handwritten piece of paper on the door that read cash only l. I was baffled as no one mentioned this during my phone call order and I am a traveler that was passing through headed west. I went back outside and found two ladies that were kind enough to allow me to Venmo them money in exchange for cash, which I was able to use to purchase my meal although I kind of wish in hindsight no one had cash and I would've had to forfeit this meal because what I received was not any form of birria. I'm familiar with. There was meat in a to go box with a few peppers on the side and then rice and beans, a very small portion. Aside of that four tortillas were wrapped in aluminum foil. While the taste of the food was OK, I had my appetite set on birria tacos yet there was no consume to dip the tacos in and there was no cheese whatsoever and I had to make the tacos myself and try to eat while driving. In addition to this order not being what I expected, I did not appreciate not being told they were a cash only restaurant as well as having to eat a mediocre meal while driving on a long road trip. Also - the near gas very sharp small bones & large pieces of fat in it. So disappointing read more

I have been to this restaurant a few times and every single time the food has been amazing. In this small restaurant the service is great and the vibe is very laid back. I have had the tacos and every type of taco I have tried here was wonderful. My favorite is the breakfast tacos. This place only accepts cash so be prepared for that, but the prices were good. I would say this restaurant serves the best tacos in Marshall. read more

Very very good breakfast burrito! Kind of a hole in the wall. They only take cash. No credit cards. The people were nice. Again very very good breakfast burritos. read more

La Mexicana Taqueria - a view of a parking lot - Mexican Near Me - Marshall, Texas

For someone who loves Tex-Mex food, I was hesitant to dine here because this place serves authentic, interior México-style dishes. But other Yelpers rave about the two salsas, so I had to give it a try. The red and green salsas are both spicy (the way salsas should be). The red has a slow burn that will sneak up on you minutes later. Salsas like these deserve better chips than the ones served here. The yellow corn chips were served at room temperature and tasted like they came from a bargain bag at Sam's Club. This was the biggest let down of my visit. I ordered beef and chicken soft tacos. The chicken was a bit dry and flavorless -- no grilled or smoky flavor. The beef was pretty good. This would be a three-star review, but it was saved by the salsa and friendly service. read more

Buena comida, gente realmente agradable, solo asegúrate de tener efectivo, no una tarjeta.

I got the beef tacos on corn tortillas and iced tea. That was $5.95 which isn't bad. It teased very authentic and fresh. I wanted to try the cheese quesadilla but came as part of a meal with rice and beans. Just by itself it was 7.99 which was too much for me. It must on really large tortilla so I wasn't that hungry. Recommend. read more

My goodness! This place is delicious. We had the breakfast platter. Tons of food on the plate. Friendly service too. We will be back....

If you like Mexican breakfast tacos or an egg plate with beans and rice, give this place a try. The homemade corn tortillas are pretty good. The eggs are good with choices of ham, bacon or chorizo. I had chorizo with added cheese. Mmm. Two were a perfect size. The breakfast plate with bacon and eggs came with large portions of refried beans and arroz. Both were spiced perfectly. It was very good but more than we wanted for breakfast. The chips were thick, crunchy and not over salted. The hot sauces come red and verde. The red has a significant burn on finish, but an oily sweetness on the front end. The flavor profile is unique and hard to describe. The verde sauce was rich with the tomatillo flavor and a lesser burn. I liked both and added them to my breakfast tacos. Be aware this is a cash only establishment. This is a good choice if your tired of Waffle House or IHOP or just looking for something new. read more

This was the best place ever. We had beef and chicken tacos. My friend had The pork with red sauce and it was amazing. The meat was cooked and seasoned perfectly. It was very clean and the staff was so friendly and helpful. The red salsa be careful. It is spicy and sneaks up on you. I highly recommend this place read more

La Mexicana Taqueria - Two steak tacos and two pastor tacos. very good. - Mexican Near Me - Marshall, Texas

This is the real deal y'all. When you go into a place and you see all the locals there, it had to be good. My companion was leary because it is kind of a dive. For Mexican, often it is the five that's the best IMHO. Of course, I was right! Lol. Be aware though. This is not fast food at all. Be there with the expectation of a wait. I had the flautas and he had a Supreme burrito. We were not hungry when we left. read more

Was not what I expecting but glad we stopped. Authentic Mexican food. Delicious and spicy salsa. Bring cash as they don't take anything else. read more

La Mexicana Taqueria - Chicken tacos - Mexican Near Me - Marshall, Texas

whoever gave this a 4.6 is mind numbing!!! wow!!! fantastic. burrito supremo kick BUTT!!!

So glad we were passing through the town of Marshall and found this hidden gem. Doesn't look like much from the outside, but I couldn't believe how delicious all the food was. My boyfriend and I had an order of tostadas, gordita, sopes, and soft shell beef tacos. Everything was phenomenal, but my favorite was the pork and chicken tostadas. Highly recommend a stop if you're in the area! read more

This is our Top Favorite Authentic Mexican place so far that we have tried anywhere. JG score of 6.5/10 (+3 for food, +0.5 for atmosphere, +1 for price, 0 for no Diet Dr Pepper, 0 for service and +2 for we look forward to returning each time) The food here is terrific. Anything that has beef is awesome. This is a favorite place for several Hispanic foodies we know. Literally, everything here is good. The place itself is a small room that seats quite a few with a TV always playing some Hispanic show. Nice red and white checkered tablecloths. Just has the whole authentic feel to the place but very basic too. Price here is very reasonable. No Diet Dr Pepper but they do have Diet Coke. We also like the Mexican Cokes, bottle drinks too like the manzanas, and the agua Fresca esp melon. Service is typical. They speak English too. As for returning here, we always do. We have been going here for 5 years now. read more

Mexican Cokes in the fridge and spanish soap operas on the TV. This is true blue Mexican! The food is awesome and the staff is friendly. Definitely a "locals place". I always get the chicken tacos on corn tortillas. My husband ordered the shrimp cocktail after seeing it served to someone else. It was so good! You won't be disappointed. read more

La Mexicana Taqueria - Beautiful shrimp cocktail. - Mexican Near Me - Marshall, Texas

I got the breakfast taco with chorizo, beans, and yellow cheese and well as Horchata! It was so good. They have great authentic food and a wonderful atmosphere. They do not take credit or debt cards so keep that in mind. And if you are a gringo you probably won't like their salsa as both the green and red are hot. Everything is very reasonably priced and the people are friendly. I will definitely be a returner and would recommend it to anyone trying to find Mexican food in Marshall. What more could you ask! read more

What a little gem! Stopped by this place on a long road trip for some lunch and it was such a nice surprise! When we stepped in, you can tell a lot of Hispanics dine here, which is a great sign of authenticity. They have a lot of very traditional Mexican restaurant items. I ordered Shrimp Cocktail, my husband and my father in law both ordered tacos. Everybody enjoyed their food a lot! So happy we came here instead of the taco bell 2 blocks down the way! read more

Muy autentico, to the point where it's so lacking in pretension it is almost pretentious (but it isn't). Friendly, family run. Not a bland, generic Tex-Mex chain. Mexico City style tacos were very good. Market fresh cilantro and onions complimented lean, diced meat, though I could have tolerated a little more spice. The red salsa was great. Just the right amount of heat, and there's a smokey quality to it too. We got ours to go. Next time we'll stay. read more

Another solid Yelp find. I don't get enough good Mexican or Tex-Mex living in MS, and after living in Fort Worth, TX for 10+ years I've got a pretty good barometer for it. This taqueria is highly authentic & satiated my taco craving so it's on my "gotta repeat" list. I had 3 tacos, beans + rice, Mexican soda for $10. Cash only. read more

La Mexicana Taqueria - Beef tacos - Mexican Near Me - Marshall, Texas

Visiting Marshall from DC for a family reunion. My wife's cousin eats here basically everyday during the work week and highly recommended it. And he was right, the food is amazing! The prices are incredibly reasonable, the food is delicious and authentic. Melon water, three soft tacos (steak, chorizo and al pastor) and a tostada. If I lived in Marshall I would likely eat here everyday too! read more

We visited the La Mexicana Taqueria just by chance as we seen so many people going in there n coming out looking very pleased. Omg their food is the best I have had in a very long time-very authentic not the norm Taco Bell if that is what you are looking for. My husband had the carnitas burrito(huge) n I had the chile relleno it as so good n so big I could only eat 1/2 of it. This is our new restaurant to go to. Now we know why so many people frequent this place as we usually go to the Wing stop. Thank you for serving such great food....if I could I would give you 10 thumbs up!! ; - ) read more

The most delicious Authentic Mexican Food EVER! The Burritos are the best I've ever had, including mine! The green sauce has the kick I like, and it really enhances the taste of whatever you order. 16 oz container costs only $6. Can't say enough good things about this dive... read more

Good authentic taqueria, not tex-mex. The real deal mexican food. We had #7 taquitos, a couple of tacos al pastor, and some bean tostadas. All really good and cheap, be sure to bring cash. That's the only payment option you have here. read more

Food was great. It was just like going to an authentic taqueria in LA!

Very average. If that is the taste of authentic Mexican food-I will stick with Tex-Mex. I was not impressed with burrito or enchilada. The beef taco wasn't bad. Sorry. Just trying to be helpful read more

Great little place! Mexican street style tacos were made quickly and we took them to go. Salsas were fresh and great. Can't wait to try their other food. Simple presentation, but don't mistake that for lack of quality. read more

Solid place to eat. Nothing special for me though. We stop while passing through. The service is good and quick and the food came out quickly too. Coming from Houston where you have to be amazing or you're out, I was expecting more from 4.5 stars. Nonetheless, our bellies were pleasantly filled. read more

We were driving through on our way to Houston. This place has great food and good service. It is also family friendly place. It has a 4 choices for kids. My children had the quesadilla. My husband and I had chilaquiles. Cash only. read more
