The creamy green salsa in the squeeze bottle was delicious and super spicy which I love! Honestly it was the best thing of all. The salsa served complimentary with chips was very plain tomatillos sauce. The side of refried beans tasted like canned to me and the birria tacos ($18 for 4 with ample sauce) just were not the best. I'll go back and try something else next time. The waitress was great. I do realize it's hard to compare 98% of authentic Mexican restaurants to my F go-to authentic restaurant La Mexicana (with a market in front) which closed down on Siegan a couple months ago. I went there for at least 7 years on the regular and let me tell you.. the dishes were amazing and even their refried beans & rice at La Mexicana tasted like they were cooked completely from scratch .. like a true home cooked taste by a talented cook and I keep trying new places out looking for my new favorite.

Everything feels fresh, fun, and like they really gave the place a whole new life. And the DRINKS?! Yeah... they may have just become my new favorite margs in the BR area.

If you haven't been since the new owners took over, GO BACK. It's giving new spot without actually being a new spot, and I'm here for it.

They brought a trio of salsa samplers - volcanic jalapeño, mild tomato, and another volcanic one so hot I can't tell what it tastes like. Chips were thick and crispy, with a few stale ones. Street corn (nibs) was very good - just a little mayo/crema, and sprinkle of seasoning. Enchiladas mole with grilled chicken means enchiladas with a bone dry piece of grilled chicken on the side, but the mole sauce was good. (I suppose I was expecting something more like fajita chicken inside the enchiladas). Chile relleno with shrimp was good, too.

The drink options are also pretty slim but I go for the food, so that didn't bother me. The lady at the window taking our order was extremely friendly. She answered our newbie questions. I asked about the size of the quesadillas, which come in "gringa" and "minigringa" size. The menu isn't terribly descriptive but I was comfortable asking about items. The gringa quesadilla was served open faced and it had cheese, pork, onions and cilantro. My daughter and I flipped it over to make a traditional (is that a thing?) quesadilla, but not before squeezing some lime on the contents. The tacos were incredibly fresh and full of flavor. We squeezed lime over these, also. They were a smidge on the dry side but were served with green and red salsa that definitely helped to moisten them. A word of caution: the green salsa is really spicy! I thought the red salsa would have been spicier but I was wrong. Both had a great taste. My daughter and I both decided that the tacos were good and the quesadilla was even better. To repeat, the food was delicious and fresh, and that along with the service and value ($3 tacos are a good price these days), we will be repeat customers.

We arrive here to this very cozy restaurant in the corner of the shopping center. We entered and were greeted immediately. They have a bar of the left side when entering on the right side just a few booths and huge tvs. It was perfect for watching the World Cup. Tuesday here meant taco specials. I didn't get a picture of the specials menu but I believe it was $2 per taco so I got 5! Chicken, Carne Asada, and Carnitas. I also got rice and beans and side. It wasn't included but I didn't care. The margaritas were buy 1 get 1. By this time im already in heaven and the fact that we drinks were great put it over the top. The chips and salsa were home made! They were cut in strips so you know they make them in house. They are also dusted with a delicious seasoning. The food came out nice and hot in about 15 mins or so. The chicken tacos were a bit on the dry side for me but still good. The Carne asada were my favorite. The star of the show were the refried beans. I've never tasted refried beans that damn good. Very well seasoned. My date ate all of his shrimp and fish tacos so im guessing he also enjoyed his meal. All of this food for about $50 and I think it's the cheapest ive paid for a date night in a long time. I can't wait to become a regular.

I haven't been here for at least seven maybe possibly 10 years since Renee Ortlieb was the owner…read more The reason I came back to try it today was because after a visit to La Mexicana a few days ago only to learn it has closed (and it had become my staple for the area of authentic Mexican). To my surprise, la Tienda Latina is a Honduran restaurant. To my taste Honduran food is blander then real Mexican food. After reading the reviews, I ordered a Mexican coke and an appetizer while I looked at the menu. The friendly English speaking waitress brought salsa and chips to the table, along with my Coke and ample sized appetizer. Shortly after she returned with the Honduran tamale ( chose pork vs chicken). She also brought two condiment bottles of homemade sauces, both green tomatillo and red chili .. both very standard at authentic places. The salsa and chips were nice and fresh tasting and I particularly liked the green sauce with the tamale sauce. Realizing how much food this was already I decided just to order a side of refried beans and some Mexican Crema, which was actually perfect, and I had food to bring home because I only ate half of the tamale and about a fourth of the beans which were delicious. The tamale did need extra flavor although it was packed with potatoes and rice and chunks of cooked roast type pork, and a few peas I think. For the price I think it's quite a bargain to fill up on. However, I filled up quickly by drinking a second Mexican Coke, and had an extra order of the salsa with the chips. I dipped the chips in the beans which were absolutely probably my favorite dish of all. La Tienda won't replace the flavors and menu formerly offered at La Mexicana. I'll have to find another place that has similar type food, but I did enjoy my experience here. However Hondorian food isn't what I get cravings for. Yet, the restaurant was tidy and clean, although I didn't go to the restroom, which is always very telling of how clean a restaurant is. Btw, I know Mexican cokes are usually very pricey, but the idea of paying eight dollars for two medium (quantity) cokes is annoying, but the price of on tap cold drinks has gone up significantly as well around the Baton Rouge area, so often I just have to order water in order to enjoy a sit down meal eating out without paying a total cost of what I used to consider to be premium dinner time treat when I'm just looking for a quick afternoon lunch. Due to my budget lunch (appetizer & 2 sides) selection today I went ahead & ordered a 2nd bottle, and quite enjoyed it, and therefore I have leftovers to enjoy later. I will keep reading other food reviews made here so I can return again and try something else and just maybe I'll find a new favorite!
