Mexican rice with queso and tacos
Helen S.

First off, service was fantastic. Quick to be seated and way too quick for my meal to be served. I didn't even get a chance to read a chapter in my book. Awesome service and quite friendly. Let me start with the Mexican rice with queso. Very delicious. Excellent flavor and just the right amount of queso. Quite a significant serving size too. The tacos were good. One carnitas and one Al pastor. The carnitas was good. I usually like a bit more char on my carnitas than they had here. I think this is why they seemed a bit oily. The Al pastor had a unique texture. However, they were very flavorful. I do not think the shells were homemade, but there were two shells, which is a must for me. I have had their fajitas before, so I will review them next time, as I remember them to be amazing. The restaurant was quite busy for a Monday night. It seems like there are a lot of locals who enjoy eating here. Very family friendly. The set up does get a little noisy, but not loud. I overheard someone say a surprise party of 30 was arriving and the crew seemed to manage it without getting stressed.

Nice outdoor space. Too bad it's surrounded by parking lot but better there's something than nothing!

A reliable restaurant which in my book is so valuable. The food is solid. My chicken fajita dish was massive. Of course I ate too much as usual, but I still went home with leftovers for a second meal. My son's kids cheese quesadilla meal was also great but instead of a ton of rice and beans I'd say it would be better with a second piece of quesadilla. Also consumed at our table was a chimichanga and fajita burrito bowls - all rave reviews. Service was a tad slower than normal my parents said but still was within a reasonable amount of time. Complimentary delicious chips and salsa plus 2 for 1 margs on Tuesdays and Thursdays (including a great non-alcoholic version for me) topped off a great experience all around.

This place serves up solid, authentic Mexican dishes for affordable prices (including complimentary chips and salsa). But....the overall meal was lacking in flavor and spice. Both of our dishes were bland. Waiter was fast and efficient but, didn't come back to check on our meals until we were done. Would have been nice to have had some hot sauce or jalapenos to spice things up. We were seated immediately. Parking lot is small so be prepared to park over in adjacent lots and walk over. COVID related observations: Some patrons do not wear masks. Waitstaff all wore masks. Ample hand sanitizer stations located throughout the restaurant.

YUM AND SO FAST! The drinks & salsa came out in 1 minute. We ordered our entrees and the food came out in literally 8 minutes - even with a pretty full restaurant. I have never had faster more attentive service. The staff is so nice and funny. The decorations and music makes it a really fun quick lunch spot but would also be great for dinner. Our total was $34 making it extremely affordable. Amazing experience thank you!

La Taqueria - Mexican tacos and cheesy rice

La Taqueria

4.5(46 reviews)

La Taqueria is now my favorite Mexican restaurant in Wisconsin Rapids…read more I would describe it as fast casual- you order at counter, find a table and pick up your food. Fast, fresh and friendly. The margaritas are pre- mixed, but one of the better premade ones I have had My seafood bowl was excellent.

This is definitely not the restaurant I expected when we pulled up in the parking lot outside a…read morestrip mall. Inside, we found excellent food, tasty drinks and experienced fantastic customer service. There were quite a few people in line when we arrived. Not only did the ordering line move at a good pace, the brief wait provided us the chance to look over the wide selection of burritos, tacos, meals and beverages the restaurant offers. The individual waiting on us at the counter was patient and helpful with his suggestions. We ordered, found a table and a short time later our drinks were delivered. I enjoyed the cucumber margarita and others enjoyed a mango margarita and strawberry margarita. If I wasn't driving, I would have had another! I ordered the chilies verde. It was so good. Tender pork and really good flavor. The portion size was generous. Another dining partner had a burrito bowl. It was large and according to my partner, very flavorful. Others with our group had tacos and one had a California burrito. It was so huge, they brought a half home. There were no complaints about the quality or taste of the food. Service was on the mark. I definitely plan to return in the future. It appears it would be a fun place to visit in the summer with outdoor seating and the ability to open large overhead garage doors to let the weather inside. In reality, I give it 4.5 stars; however, we know Yelp simply can't trust us with half stars in the actual review.
