La Mexicana Taqueria - Chicago

The food is great and our server was very nice.Food: 5/5

Food was ok. No real problems, just overpriced for what you get. $30 for carne asada dinner. And there couldn’t have been more than 1/2lb slice of if.

Decent place for a quick bite to eat and they also serve alcohol.The only issue I have is that they include an 18% tip to your bill.Food: 3/5

Great little spot for authentic flavors and vibe. The giant sign out front makes finding this place easy.I was greeted right away and told to sit anywhere I liked, then upon my selection, I was given a basket of nachos and a couple salsas to go with.It was my first time there and the menu is packed with a lot of options, so it took me some time to order. But I was not rushed by the polite and friendly staff.I didn't eat much, just a set of fish tacos with chopped cilantro and diced onions, but they were very good. The salsa provided to me earlier was used on the tacos as well.I liked the bar and the red brick wall with arched windows. It made the space feel welcoming. It was also cool to see the chef in the order window checking in on the restaurant periodically, it signified to me at least, that he cared.I'll be back to try another dish soon!Kid-friendliness: Definitely safe to bring the kids. They will enjoy eating with their hands!Wheelchair accessibility: Shouldn't be a problem for wheels chairs, the entrance is a little tight, but I'm sure it's manageable.

I love this restaurant but today was just a no for me....my whole burrito fell apart...i told them and he said its because he cut it..don't cut it unless ask to do so??‍if it's going to fall apart..the girl didn't come over not one time and ask how's the food? is everything ok? She just chatted with the other lady behind the counter the whole time...I come here during the weekend at least 3x with totally different customer service
