    Unique and amazing hot sauce made every bite of my street tacos outstanding!
    George U.

    I found a food and service gold mine conveniently located about a half mile off Highway 80 here in Fairfield, CA. A true small shop with an authentic ambiance generally found in the smalls shops of local neighborhood eateries in the Spanish colonial area of Mexico City. Taqueria La Mexicana prepares their food like a mother or grandmother would prepare for her family. I truly tasted the love of food in every spoonful of what is certainly the best pozole I've ever had in Northern California. The highlight of the Pozole was the pork which was tender and flavorful. I also had two Al pastor tacos... very good too! The customer service can be best described as caring, compassionate, and selfless. I will be back!

    I purchased the One chicken taco combo and four extra tocos

    It's Tuesday, so we had a taste for some tacos. This establishment is under new ownership. The host was helpful and pleasant. This meal was very delicious, usually tacos are not filled up with that much meat. These tacos were perfect. I would recommend this establishment to friends and family. Just make sure to bring your appetite and try not to over eat. We got our food to go, but the people that were dining in seemed to having a good time.

    Barbacoa quesadilla, carnitas tacos, fish tacos, breakfast burrito, Abuelita hot chocolate and coffee.

    The food tasted great and service was awesome too. We ordered barbacoa quesadilla, carnitas tacos, fish tacos, breakfast burrito (they serve breakfast all day long). All was yummy including the Abuelita hot chocoa. So glad we found this place when we happened to be around the area. Will definitely come back.

    Saw a pretty girl out front waving a sign about a $10.50 super burrito and that was all it took to choose this spot. We haven't been here in a few years, but the owner remembered us , and is always super friendly. We ordered a mega carne asada mega burrito, which is a bit bigger than the super to go. There are several tables and the decor is really nice. The burrito was nice and big, the wife and I split it. The carne asada was good tasting, but I feel like the rice had no flavor. He included a couple containers of mild sauce, and a couple of the spicy roasted chili oil, let me tell you, that stuff will light your mouth up!! Very tasty!! The 4 star rating is based on the nice price, the friendly service, and the quickness.

    Best spot for Mexican food in the whole city. I don't know of any other places that have Suadero, an incredible cut of meat that makes the best tacos. Also, the Chile relleno is stuffed with cotija cheese, in the Veracruz style (very authentic). Everything I have had here has always been top quality and flavor, and the owner is so kind, a pleasure to be around. Don't let the unassuming look mislead you. It is one of the greatest restaurants in town.

    chips and salsa in a cute Jarrito

    It was our first time here, When we walked in a super friendly lady greeted us. she was helpful and explained the specials. The place was super clean and decorated thoughtfully. The place was not huge but it did not feel cramped at all. We were disappointed that they do not do lengua. We had chips while waiting for our tacos 1.99 is ok, chips were more than enough for 2 hungry people. the salsa was served in a cute little container. (she gave us extra salsa in a squeeze bottle too) our tacos arrived in rectangular plates which was clever. i remember thinking, they should do this everywhere! the tacos only had a little bit of cilantro and cebolla. Kinda disappointing. Asada tacos - Excellent flavor. not chewy and they gave a lot. 5/5 Barbacoa tacos - not a fan. the flavor was there but i'd rather have the dripping barbacoa on rice than a soggy tortilla. 1/5 Pastor tacos - flavor was ok. but the chunks were big and chewy. wife had a couple of fat pieces. they gave a decent amount. 2/5 Carnitas tacos - flavor was perfect! they gave a good amount but it was not crispy. its a preference thing. next time I come here I will ask for it to be crisped. 4/5 Asian style Chili oil salsa - We were surprised she served us this, even more surprised how it went good with the tacos! very spicy! it was chinese style chili oil but made with mexican chiles. awesome! they sell little bottles of it too 5/5 Horchata - Delicious. just delicious 5/5 I would give this place 5/5 for everything. Service excellent, ambiance perfect, pricing fair. it was just the food. they didnt offer lengua. carnitas missed it and pastor was weak. This place could easily be a go-to taco place. except not the best taco place. it has potential to be the best though. I cannot stress enough how nice the lady was though! the chili oil alone makes this place is worth a try.

The servers were nice and personable. Husband noticed they had ceviche on the menu, either camaron (shrimp) or pescado (fish) "made at time of order". When the ceviche came out, we were both blown away. Plenty of fresh fish pieces served with a darker sauce, not the usual clear lime juices. The flavors were so fresh and full of umami, it was a burst of goodness that you must try! I asked someone about this - turns out he was the chef! I forget his name but he was so gracious in explaining the salsas he creates and adds to the juice for that delicious burst of flavors! I had never seen this before. It elevated that dish so much. He spoke about how this is actually traditional in his hometown in MX. He then surprised us when he came out with 2 small bowls of the salsas, one brown and one deeper red. So delicious and fun to taste on their own and with chips too! I had a combo plate with the chili verde enchilada and chili relleno. The pork in the enchilada was super fresh, soft, flaky, incredibly yummy! We'll be going back for sure.

Walking in, I was immediately greeted with smiling and welcoming vibes from the ladies at the front and told to take a seat wherever I'd like to sit. The hit for me is that MENUDO is available on a non-weekend! I've been craving it and when I ordered it (on a Tuesday), I hoped it would be fresh and it was! The broth was savory and flavorful as is but with the added oregano, dried peppers, onions, and cilantro to my liking- it just made it even better! The best part was that you can either order it with pata or no pata. Shoooot, you don't have to ask me twice! I said I want the pata hahahaha that with tender and not overcooked tripe was just what I was wanting! If you love menudo, this is a place I'd recommend and go to get it regularly. The MICHELADA MARISCADA is tasty! It's a mixture of seafood in a sweet and tangy sauce. For those who do not like spice, this is a great option.

He continued to speak Spanish to us every time he came by. He knows English though and we kinda wondered why he kept speaking in Spanish to us. Me and my cousin have mixed ethnicity so we kinda look Spanish but based on our tone in speaking you could tell we only know English. Later I noticed that the booth tables were all Spanish speaking and the middle tables had every other ethnicity but I could be jumping ahead thinking wrong and the guest in booths made reservations Besides all that mentioning the star off issue, the food and drinks were great.

I asked to add jalapeños- they said that would cost an extra $2. That is crazy. I know food prices are rising but jalapeños are still inexpensive - I've eaten at hundreds of Mexican places - not one ( except Taco Hell - Bell- ) has charged me for jalapeños. So after taking my order he told me to come back in 15 minutes - like standing there and waiting was going to cost them money - how rude. Another bad 1st - being told I can't stay and wait for my order at a place I ordered from - WTF? Also the prices are too high - I can get burritos in San Francisco for $12 and they're great - as I did yesterday at a street fare - I thought $7.95 was too cheep for a burrito - but $18 in a small town? The burrito better be best tasting ever - writing this while I sit in my car. When I walked in the restaurant it was quiet - Saturday at 8:20 pm in the summer - was dead and it still takes them 15 to twenty minutes to make a burrito? That is crazy. So the ambience did not impress me that's for sure. What could improve? How about treating your customers who come into a place for the first time nice and not ask them to come back? How about not charging for jalapeños when every. other Real ( Taco Bell in NOT Mexican food) Mexican restaurant does not charge for them??? Update - the young man who took my order seemed like he did NOT want to be there - and was not attentive. When I picked up my order there were two women who were friendly and nice to me - so I added a star. The burrito itself - the beef had a excellent taste and the refried beans were good ( yes - I have had bad refried beans before ) so the burrito tasted good but on the bland side as no salsa was inside the burrito. Etc when the first guy took my order and told me jalapeños were an extra $2 I said no to the extra but did request extra salsa - all I got was a small - very small container - I like my Mexican food spicy - and this was not - tho had the potential to be great with some heat - spice - the salsa/ more of a sauce than salsa - had an excellent flavor but no the mild side for me but if had a lot of it - it would have worked as it did have a good to excellent flavor - so it gets only two stars - had excellent potential to be great - but initial bad service from the male staff and charging for jalapeños and very little salsa killed it - can not recommend

I'd come back again and try some other choices off the menu!

    Taqueria Mi Mezcal - Our menu was chicken fajitas, refried & whole beans with rice. We also ordered the guac and pico de gallo. Delish!
