Bought tamales (dozen), cheese and chicken. Usually I would get a chicharone burrito but opted for Tamales . Service was excellent. It's a little market with fulfilling needs. I need something to eat. All was great. read more

Best chorizo in town. Also good premarinated meats. Restaurant area in market has delicious food. Saturday special is great. They will also take tamale orders. I ordered 2 dozen pork and 1 dozen green chili and cheese. They were for a winery event. They made them the morning of the event. They were hot, warm and delicious. People who work there are wonderful! Support local small businesses! read more

I didn't even order. It's really gross inside. The lady who serves the food spoke Spanish to the man who appears to be the owner and said rude stuff about me for asking for a napkin. Not knowing I am fluent in Spanish very disrespectful. The whole place is dirty and with that service i hope nobody experiences that service. Should be ashamed to be named LA Mexicana and sad that my own race can be racist. read more

Ok... Our first visit here and I think will not be returning. We ordered a lengua burrito with one carnitas soft taco... This goes down as the greasiest soft taco I've ever had with relatively skimpy meat. As for the burrito I thought the lingua was remarkably flavorless... Skimpy on the meat too. So why two stars and not one? I thought it looked really nicely arrayed and it looked very clean. Two old ladies running to shop and one guy behind the cash register. All seemed fairly polite and friendly. That gets plus one star. Dabrito itself was good size just it lacked having meat. read more

Fast, fresh, and super friendly. This has been our go to spot for take-out tacos and fresh meat and poultry during stay in place. Prices are super reasonable. They were taking precautions-wearing masks and gloves-before they had to. I love their chili verde, and hubby is hooked on the carne asada. We've only had the tacos but after seeing them make a burrito last week I'm going to try that next. Home-made chicarones, too. It's inside a little market that I think has been opened for years and years. They have a little of this and that-a typical neighborhood small Mexican market. read more

Yum! Went here to try out the taco truck food for my wedding next year. Was recommended by a bride who got married at our same venue. We ordered the tacos el pastor, chicken, and Carne asada, plus rice and beans. They were delicious! Definitely a "go" for our wedding! read more

Carniceria La Mexicana - Mexican Near Me - Lompoc, California

See all

Great customer service! Their seasoned meat from the carnicería is very delicious! This little store has everything! The gentleman is very sweet and welcoming making it a wonderful environment to do some shopping and get food! A little gem in Lompoc. read more

The tacos are very delicious I just think they should make them bigger if they're gonna be $1.79 because they are tiny! Too much for a tiny taco. read more

If you want the best Mexican food north of Tijuana, this should be your first and only stop. Inexpensive food with the highest quality taste you're going to find anywhere around...around here or anywhere else. Their al pastor has me hooked and recommending this place to everyone! The kids and I love eating here and everything we've had is fantastic. It's a grocery store with a "deli counter" in the back so, while they do have tables, the ambiance isn't about candle light and romance. If you're looking for a great place to eat and feel very comfortable in jeans and a T-shirt, this should be at the top of your list. Oh, and did I mention that the food is awesome? read more

I got chicken tacos and carne asada tacos. They were pretty good, a little on the fatty/greasy side for the asada though. My only compliant is that I wish the tacos had more filling. My chicken tacos were really lacking in the chicken department. My boyfriend got the enchiladas which he enjoyed. It is quite a hole in the wall place, with a tables. Not the best dine-in setting but the prices were good and the food was good. read more

it's a convenience neighborhood Deli market. Deli food is delish! if you are looking for Tamales order soon!

Have not been back here since I was a kid. Saw all the great reviews and wanted to go back and try it out. Feel bad that I am giving a 3 star review. Want to give it more, but just can't. So, I got a pastor and carnitas burrito. Let me explain that I am very picky about having too much fat and slimey parts in my food. Well, the carnitas burrito had plenty of both. Will stick with my other favorites for carnitas. The pastor was pretty good, no real complaints on that one. Beans and rice were very good. Service was friendly and quick. Might try it again someday... read more

nice little neighborhood market with a meat counter and a kitchen in the back. The food is consistently good and the al pastor tacos prepared on the weekends are FANTASTIC! read more

If you want authentic Mexican tacos, the ones most Mexican Americans crave when going to Mexico I would recommend La Mexicana's Al pastor tacos. No doubt, the best tasting pastor tacos in 805 and Ventura county. Very savory, made off the rotisserie pork stacked adobo flavored Al pastor meat. Your missing out if you haven't tried them yet? read more

Best carniceria in town, absolutely love the carnitas and pastor burritos!!! An amazingly friendly family has owned and run the place for over a decade now so they certainly know what they are doing. read more

I've been going here for about 8 years now usually just random stuff like the burritos in the back. Sometimes I get the tamales in the weekends now those are bomb.com!! And they are fairly priced! Oh and of course! They have good fresh meat!! :) read more

I ate a lot of good meals while visiting Lompoc but this is the one I still talk about six months later. And it will be first on my go-back list if I'm in the area again. The food counter is located at the back of a convenience store but don't be put off -- the food was fresh and really, really good. read more

They have excellent preseasoned chicken legs which are great for a barbecue for the same price per pound as the grocery store. In the back there is a burrito bar, and the ceviche tostadas are amazing. Only reason I did not give it five stars is because it is in Lompoc which is a craphole on the Central Coast, itself a steaming pile of afterbirth. read more

I just had the best Mexican food in Cali.. This little spot is so much more that a market.. They have a small restaurant with the best beans rice chile Colorado but the prize hog is there the PASTOR...best I've ever had!!! Go if your close to Lompoc ca read more

Best al pastor tacos & burritos anywhere! All else is good too!

I have lived in Lompoc for over 20 years. I tried this place for the very first time. The chicken and asada tacos were both fantastic and the spicy salsa was nice and hot. I'll definitely eat there again. read more

I'd give it zero if I could.... don't waste your time. Horrible food.. dirty. Gross. An overall bad experience..

Their beans are so very good. We have to go to the lunch counter at least once a week for burritos--we just can't get enough--and the service is terrific. read more

What I always enjoy when going to Miguel's Carneceria is the aroma when you walk in. I've never been let down. This family runs a nice small business. The store is always clean. The butcher area is immaculate and when I've bought meat or chicken there they always take the time to don some rubber gloves for sanitation. The tacos are regionally authentic and tasty but my favorite is the chili relleno burrito. read more
