Food was delicious! Very rare we clear our plates when going out to eat nowadays but we mostly definitely did here. Chicken nachos were 100/10, house made chips that were crispy and didn't get soggy underneath incredibly cooked, juicy chicken. Also some of the kindest and best service in town with fair prices. We will definitely be back when we're craving Mexican! read more

La Tinga - Tinga Taco, Al Pastor Taco - Mexican Near Me - Bozeman, Montana

The owners Alba and Kurt are amazing humans and a staple of the Bozeman everyone moved here for. No frills. Just delicious, simple, authentic Mexican food. read more

This is the best Chili Relleno I have had in Bozeman. Alba is an amazing cook, she is serving up traditional recipes! Nothing special as far as plates and dining... but if you want to experience traditional Mexican food, this is the place. read more

La Tinga - a plate of mexican food - Mexican Near Me - Bozeman, Montana

Really good. Growing up and living in Southern CA for almost 40 years, I've tasted all kinds of good and bad Mexican food, and this is definitely way on the 'good' side, especially for some random place in the middle of Montana. We ate here two days in a row - we had their Tinga burrito (which is basically like a spicy carnitas), verde enchiladas, breakfast burrito, and chile relleno. Everything was honestly just really good. On top of that, the prices are very reasonable. Just a great no-frills type restaurant. Plus the workers there were all extremely friendly and genuinely seemed to care if we enjoyed the food. I doubt I'll ever be back in Bozeman again, but if I am, you can bet I'll be coming here. read more

La Tinga - a menu for a mexican restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Bozeman, Montana

Very rude customer service from the women working there. I asked for a side of onion for my burrito and the woman got very angry and hateful. My family and I did not feel welcomed or comfortable being there. Will not be back! read more

The lady running the restaurant is very mean. Asked for sour cream because the taco was very spicy but good. I could see a bottle labeled sour cream behind her. She told me no I don't serve sour cream at my restaurant and got very rude and angry. Was a very weird experience. Why have a bottle labeled sour cream right behind you? Seems like a money laundering front more than a restaurant. The place needs shut down. read more

Really Delicious. The service was great, and we watched as the corn tortillas were made. Our family of 6 was eating very quickly and everything was great we all left full, and prices were reasonable. Our party had several varieties of tacos, enchilada specials and a burrito. The portion sizes were just right. This will be on list to stop by when we are in town read more

Their fish tacos special is always nice to check out. The cafeteria style can be a pain go up and get more food. I wish the expand their menu to include burritos in the future. read more

La Tinga - Food preparation - Mexican Near Me - Bozeman, Montana

This is the place I go when I was a simple, nice Mexican dish. The beans are so flavorful---better than any refried beans I've ever had. The owners are nice and they really know how to add on the spice! This place is affordable and you leave full. What more can you ask for? read more

La Tinga - Chicken and potato tostadas! - Mexican Near Me - Bozeman, Montana

Nice people and fast service. The food was bland and not what we ordered. The Chile rellano tasted like it was a couple days old from the fridge. Kind of expensive. The regulars looked like they were ordering tacos no specials so maybe that's better. read more

A sloppy sign on the door says "Closed January and February". What biz in Bozeman can afford to have a new building, limited hours 7-2, seasonal hours as well, and only accepts cash? Unable to tip off Yelp that this joint is closed for the next two months. read more

The food is delicious, the corn tortillas are homemade, and the people are genuine. This place either gets five stars or one star depending on how much of a puts you are. If you order something that is too spicy and want apologetic service go somewhere else. read more

I ordered 2 Chicken Tacos with beans and rice on the side. Just a quick lunch, but wow it was good. I enjoy Mexican food but won't claim to be an expert at telling you just how authentic it was or wasn't. All I know is that they make their corn tortillas daily, and you can taste the result. The generous serving of fresh avocado on the Tacos was a great addition. The location is a bit out of the way, but it has a great view of the mountains. read more

I've been a customer of La Tinga (Bozeman) for years (also at their downtown location before they moved). Their food is down right delicious, the service is always delightful and the options are simple. Some menu items change weekly to mix it up which is another quality about La Tinga I enjoy. One week they'll have a chile relleno plate (fried pepper stuffed with cheese) and the next week green chile enchiladas. I grew up in a Mexican household, have family in rural Mexico and La Tinga is what REAL mexican food looks and tastes like. Corn tortillas are made fresh daily (also used for their chips), generous portions; this is Mexican comfort food people, authentic, nothing extravagant, just simple and delicious. By far the best Mexican food you will find in Bozeman. read more

After finding this sorta authentic Mexican restaurant on an isolate road and before 2pm (closing time), I was excited to eat what my friend called real tacos. Upon walking in there is a big CASH ONLY sign which doesn't bode well for a 21st century restaurant. That didn't slow me down because I come strapped with hundred dollar bills, however only dollar bills are necessary here due to the relatively cheap prices. I ordered 2 tacos w/ mole which came with rice & beans. These were average Mexican street tacos with mole on them, pretty good. I did try the only hot sauce they had which was boasted as reaaaaallly hot. It was medium hot. There were no condiments or extras that I enjoy at my usual taco spots. This place was pretty much just ok. I might go back and try something else. read more

Easily my favorite Mexican joint in the valley since 2006. Super friendly staff and a delicious simple menu.

Great breakfast burritos, even better customer service with very friendly faces. Small but very cozy. Curt was the bomb and gave me a rundown of the breakfast and lunch options and all the variations. Will be back soon! read more

A long time staple of Bozeman, La Tinga provides the most authentic, simple (and take this as a good thing) Mexican meals you will find in SW Montana. The food is incredible, the service is excellent and everything is very very fresh. You won't find over complicated TexMex here, you won't find shredded lettuce and government cheese covering your plate, but you will find amazing and traditional Mexican flavors with ever bite. This is good stuff! read more

La Tinga - Special tacos and a tinga taco. All for $8 - Mexican Near Me - Bozeman, Montana

You know this is my joint. I'm here at least once a week on a lunch date with the big guy. The tinga is my favorite and usually what I order unless there is an extra awesome special. Fresh, simple, flavorful and affordable! Also, take a deep breath and try the jamaica or tamarindo drinks; both are good and completely different than anything available in a bottle. read more

Absolutely by far the best street tacos you will get anywhere near Bozeman! The owner is a SUPER great lady, very friendly, and her tacos are TO DIE FOR!!!! I was eating street tacos in Mexico a few months ago and have been on a quest across Montana for the best street tacos ever since. These are by far the winner thus far!!!! read more

So disappointed with La Tinga on my recent visit. I always enjoyed the food and service when it was on Main Street. The fish tacos were very small and virtually tasteless. Skimpy serving of beans and rice as well. My La Tinga taco fell far short of expectations. While the woman who runs La Tinga is always welcoming and kind, the gentleman at the counter was gruff and not very pleasant. Sad to provide this review but maybe it can be a wake-up call for what used to be one of my favorite restaurants in the Bozeman area. read more

I love this place but I'm giving it 4 stars because their hours are so limited. If they stayed open on nights and weekends I would go more often. Don't let the location affect your opinion - it's tucked away in a residential area but the food is authentic and the tortillas are handmade. They only have a limited special menu each day but I've haven't had a bad meal yet. read more

If there was a way to give this no stars I would. The worst customer service I have ever had in this town! It was so bad that we walked out. Extremely disappointed!! read more

Good food, poor location and no regular opening hours. Really love the food but hate getting there on Saturdays and finding the place closed. Bummer. Could be closed for good because the phone number seems to be disconnected too so you can't even call to see if open. read more

We wanted to eat here but when we pulled up and parked there was a big sign that says CASH ONLY. Like most people who are vacationing in the area we don't carry a little alot of cash with us. I understand margins can be tight in the restaurant business, but your competition takes cards. read more

,This place is overrated! I cook better Mexican food at home and I'm white. Their burritos are small at $5 apiece and they use a store-bought flour tortilla. They have the choice of mild or extra extra hot. So I ordered the hot version. As of right now I'm debating whether I should go into urgent care because my insides are literally burning. Food is nothing special read more

I had not been in a while and went back recently and was blown away! Had the special mole with beans and rice. Rice was light and fresh beans were delicious! And the mole tacos were sooo good! Love the salsa and chopped cilantro with onion that I pile on everything. This is a great place in Bozeman-cash only so bring your dollars! read more

Save your money. Go to Taco Bell instead. The portion size is small the food is flavorless the atmosphere is non existent. I had to pay extra for lettuce and cheese on a "burrito" that looked more like a disappointing taco. There rice is reminiscent of food cooked for life giving caloric intake not of food cooked for enjoyment. If you are going to eat here make sure you plan on eating again to provide yourself relief from the overwhelming blandness. This is mexican food in the same way that natural light is beer. read more

If you are in Bozeman please treat yourself to the most authentic Mexican food in the country!!! I have been fortunate enough to have been eating La Tinga ever since they had a hot plate in the old armory. I moved to California about five years ago and still come back here for authentic Mexican food. The home town service is also a rare thing to find. I love this place and the owners!! Thank you Kurt and Alba!!! read more

The food was ok but we asked for some sour cream to tone down the spice on some chicken tacos(which were recommended to not be spicy) for my daughter and they refused to give us some. We asked again and were told no, seems pretty silly and arrogant for a taco place, by the way they only take cash as well. read more

Number one, they don't take credit cards and they don't have an ATM machine. I stopped at a lemon aid stand that took cards. Get with it guys! Number two, cook your tortillas! Amateur hour, who wants to eat a taco on a raw corn tortilla. Seriously horrible! Three, the menu is small and I tried most of it very home cook and everything has the same flavors. Nothing different. Four, when you get a togo order they don't even provide you with a full clam shell. If the food was good it could be viewed as charming/different but it's not so its just cheep. Five, it's not cheep, that being said I wouldn't go back if it was free. read more

Best Mexican food in town, but that doesn't say much because there is no good Mexican in Bozeman.They keep limited hours and only accept cash. I will be picky and comment that their onions are sliced a little thick. Go for fast, no frills eats. read more

This food is sooo good! The best Mexican you can get in the valley! And the prices are not bad either! The staff is very friendly and sometimes offers free meal samplers in exchange for feedback. Try their breakfast burrito and you'll have a favorite spot to stop before heading to the mountain. Located on the north side of Bozeman, they are off the beaten path, but close to the 100 Acre Park. read more

This is the ONLY place to get good, authentic Mexican food in Bozeman! SO YUMMY and the staff is always genuinely delightful.

Cash only! Call first to make sure they're open! Food is awesome. Folks there are super friendly. Once you start adding everything up it can get a little pricy, but I'm a big guy and like to eat. read more

Best Mexican in Bozeman! Very authentic and delicious. They have great tacos and burritos for an even better price. I'll take $2 tacos any day! Only open for lunch though, and they only accept cash. If you want great Mexican food in Bozeman, Montana, go to la tinga. read more

Food was great. Taco and burritos were awesome. Only downside is they don't accept cards... Make sure to bring the cash

Everything I have ever eaten here has been delicious. Alba is an amazing chef and if you go here often, Curt will take the time to remember your name. My favorite is the carne asada tacos with some of that awesome homemade hot sauce. This is one of the few restaurants in Bozeman I actually get excited about going to eat at. read more

People rave about this place so I gave it a try. Very disappointed. I was really hoping to try delicious food. Good thing I go to Mexico often to get my fix. read more
