As with true taquerias, Cantina La Mexicana's sauces are minimal (more like condiments, really), but that doesn't take away from savory authentic treats like tamales and chalupas. Prices are exceptionally low, as most patrons can fill-up for under $5. After ordering at the counter, patrons take a seat in the colorful dining area. Other popular items among the lengthy menu include tortas, flautas and quesadillas.Photo courtesy of Cantina La Mexicana

A little hard to find but well worth the effort if you want really GOOD authentic Mexican food, prepared from scratch and delicious. No ambiance but who cares!

Taqueria la Mexicana has THE BEST Mexican food around. I grew up in California, where Mexican food is pretty much considered a staple and have even been to Mexico a countless number of times, so I've certainly had more than enough experience with Mexican food to safely consider myself an expert, and I will honestly say that they have the best Mexican food I've ever had. In addition to the fact that Taqueria la Mexicana has the best tasting Mexican food, it also is probably the healthiest, a word that is rarely mentioned in the same breath as Mexican food. They make everything fresh and from scratch, which is pretty amazing and you can definitely taste it...in fact, I'm actually eating one of their burritos as I'm writing this review.
