    Enchilada Combination Plate, sorry already ate the other Enchilada before I took this picture.
    Patrick L.

    La Mordida was definitely a mixed bag this time around. We got enchiladas and tacos this time. The enchiladas (Pastor, chicken, and carnitas - rare options for this item) were great. The tacos on the other hand were pretty dry. Each dish came with rice and beans. The beans were likely the saltiest I ever had. Not sure if it was just an accident or not but something to take note of. Overall there could be improvements.

    I just went for lunch after a long hiatus due to quality and and consistency issues. I ordered a crispy taco plate with two ground beef tacos. The ground beef's texture was akin to the mystery meat in a Taco Bell taco. It had very little flavor, and was mushy like refried beans. I don't know how they cook their meat, but it wasn't appealing.

    Last week was the last time I will eat here they put lettuce in a burrito that's all I gotta say that's a no no

    I ordered a bean and cheese burrito and there was literally no beans in the burrito at all. The entire thing was cheese and disgusting. How the heck do you mess that up?

    La Mordida has been one of my go-to taquerias for almost the past 5 years now. Unfortunately, I've started to notice that the quality of both the food and service has gone waaaay down hill. Despite this, I've still continued to patronize this business because I generally enjoy the food and I love supporting my local businesses. I guess I've been in denial for a while, but the food just hasn't tasted the same for the past year and half. Tonight was honestly the final straw for me. I ordered my usual which is their crispy chicken tacos. The previous time that I had ordered these, they forgot to add guacamole and also charged me a fee which they never really explained was for. Today, I picked up my tacos with such excitement because it's been a while since I've had them. Took my first bite and it didn't taste right at all. At first I thought that maybe it was the salsa. But after taking another bite, I realized that something tasted old and spoiled. They remembered the guacamole this time, but it was bad. Spoiled. Rancid. I opened the taco just to double check. Sure enough, the guac was brown and old looking. Like, really y'all? Did you not think that I was gonna taste that sh*t? What's crazy is that they've raised their prices AND they now charge a fee if you used your card. The sad part is, this isn't the first time that they've done something like this. The beans have been flavorless as of late, and the rice was super hard and overcooked the last time that I ordered them. The chips always seem to be stale and they only give you like 5 of them now. They've become extremely skimpy with the salsa, and they just don't taste the same as they used to. I've basically only resorted to getting crispy tacos here, but now they're starting to f*ck that up too. I used to see the same young ladies working here for years. I know that people move on and the staff changes, but there are new people in there every time that I come in now. EVERY time. They don't really care about good service anymore either. Honestly, there are so many damn taquerias in the neighborhood. I'm just sad because this was my go-to. But after tonight, that's just gonna have to change. I don't think I'll be coming back here for a while.

    Wow. We came here six (6) years ago and just came back again for the first time since then - what an extremely drastic change. Horrible, horrible "service" - don't think we can even call this "service." First of all, when you walk in, you cannot hear anything because they are BLASTING music - I thought we just walked into Marquee Club in Las Vegas (I wish, lol). Secondly, the first thing the lady says (did not give eye contact or say "hello") is "cash only." Okay, we know that because it is taped to your front door, so we came prepared. Third, after paying for the order with cash, my husband asked for $1 bills for one $5 bill, and immediately, with the most attitude ever, she replied, "NO." Okay, fine - "how much worse can this experience get?" we thought to ourselves. Well, it gets worse. Fourth, we asked if it will take "15-20 minutes," and her short answer was, "10." We asked for salsa, and she POINTS to our order in the bag. She not only looks super mean, she IS mean. Not coming back to La Mordida ever again.

    longest lunch wait ever.

The zucchini was cooked perfectly and not overcooked or soggy at all, which made the whole burrito taste fresh and flavorful. We also got the appetizer with the chips, zucchini, arugula, and cheese and that ended up being one of my favorite dishes. Everything paired together really well and had a lot of flavor without feeling too heavy. I also tried the mango margarita with tajín on the rim and really liked it because it wasn't overly sweet. Super refreshing and balanced. The Dude ordered the chicken enchiladas with verde sauce and really enjoyed those as well. Customer service was also really good. They checked on us periodically throughout the meal and everyone was friendly and attentive without hovering. Overall the restaurant felt clean, relaxed, and comfortable. Definitely a spot we would come back to again. Especially a lot of vegetarian options ! Vegetarian approved!!!

I noticed how enthused and attentive they were to other patrons in comparison to how they were with me and my daughter. I'll leave it at that. I purchased a chicken burrito, a steak burrito (burritos came with potato chips), a mango margarita, and a cheesecake. Pros- the food is fresh and made with quality ingredients. The mango margarita.... Best thing I ordered! Cons- Burritos lacked flavor and was pretty unremarkable. The cheesecake. Idk if it was spoiled or a different type of cheesecake but it didn't taste good at all. My daughter ate it bc she's greedy lol and said that it tastes "interesting". I do feel like the food we ordered is not prepared the way I'm familiar with, so I'll own that. BUT flavor is flavor and this place did not do it for me at all.

Yes it does have amazing outdoor seating and yet it's under a gazebo so good for wanting to eat outside without the sun hitting you so bad! Now when you walk inside this restaurant you are greeted by this most amazing person. I would have to say best customer service ever his name is Erick! He greeted us as soon as we stepped inside also for this hot weather that AC is a god sent! Now for the menu everything is posted in these big screens with such nice decor on it. It honestly goes with the theme of this place! We decided to order a quesabirria tacos and two regular tacos one alpastor (marinated pork) and one carnitas. Erick asked if I wanted hot sauce or mild I said "do you mind giving me one of each?" Which he replied with oh yes! Most places will not bother going the extra mile for a customer but Erick is on point! Total for our food was $23.00 something tip included. I loved the fact that Erick said next step on the tablet is tip you don't have to put anything if you don't want to just click no. I'm super happy that he gives his customers that are not eating in a chance to say yes to tipping or no! I decided to tip and yes I'm happy to do it. Now let's talk about the food!!! My son as soon as he bit into his tacos he said "i couldn't have chosen a better option than this. You can't ever go wrong with this tacos" as he continued to down the first taco. My tacos were amazing the tortillas were small portions which is perfect and the ratio meat to tortillas to cilantro to onions was in fact perfect!

I ordered a pork tamale, a crunchy ground beef taco and some arroz. My friend ordered a chile relleno and a crunchy ground beef taco. The food came with complimentary tortilla chips and a salsa dip with frijoles. The dip and Chios were fresh and the salsa with blended with frijoles was enjoyable. The crunchy tacos were fried nicely and had a good amount of filling. I thinking about trying carnitas as the filling but there a bit of a charge. The tamale was pretty good. The masa was not too dry or too wet. The meat to masa ratio was about right. My friend liked his chile relleno. The rice was more well done than I usually prefer and needed a little more seasoning. Overall, the food was delicious, service very attentive and pricing was a bit higher than other restaurants but still fair. I plan to take the family next trip and try other dishes. For a good family meal or with friends, drop on in for good food and service. You won't be disappointed.

Isla's fish tacos are phenomenal--easily the best in the area and a must-have every single time. I usually go for the tilapia, though I've sampled the red snapper as well.

I also visited their new location today and was pleasantly surprised by the ample parking and comfortable seating. The space is beautiful, making it even more enjoyable to stop by for those irresistible fish tacos. Here's a quick rundown of my ratings: Fish (all varieties): 8.7/10 Birria: 7/10 (good, but not their standout item) Carne Asada Super Burrito: 5.8/10 When it comes to satisfying my fish taco cravings, Isla remains the only choice.
