I really enjoyed my lunch here and will make it a point to return again.  I've only previously been here for a Yelp sampling event back in May 2023 and also for ice cream dessert.  Our party of 5, including the 2 kiddos, had a late Friday lunch at 1pm and we were the only customers present.  The daughter has been here with her family several times and the place is usually packed with families for Friday and Saturday dinners, so good for them.  We ordered: - makhani (aka butter chicken), $12 - steamed chicken momo's (dumplings), 8 for $13 - a set of 3 various flavored tacos, $11 - 8" personal cheese pizza, $10 - dessert of 2 scoops of cookie monster ($3.99 each) and a double scoop of coffee atop ferrero rocher ($5.99) I really enjoyed my order of makhani and it was a very good and delicious deal with a lot of chicken and delicious sauce for $12.  The basmati rice serving that came with it was a bit skimpy for the amount of chicken and sauce provided though.  I would return just for that dish but would want to try some other Indian classics also.  Others in the party all enjoyed their dishes as well.  The tacos and pizza were decent deals too, but the 8 momo's were relatively pricey.  They also offer a lot of Michoacana ice cream flavors for dessert or snacks including the unique black sesame flavor that we have come in for in the past. Thumbs up, and I would say a hidden gem of a place, or it's equally possible that I've just been under a rock. read more

We had tacos -liked the chicken masala taco the best, the chicken tikka was pretty good too, but korean bbq taco was weird and sauces do not go together. Since masala one was good, we are going to try their masala pizza next time. The popsicles are not overly sweet and may have just pure fruit juice to sweeten only. I like that. read more

Great vibe when you walk in, very clean and well lit with nice neon signs for extra aesthetic. Looks like it was also paired with another restaurant called Moti that looked really good. Lots of seating. There were plenty of options for dessert, different soft serve flavors and paletas, along with the various menu items. I got the ferrero rocher ice cream, and my friends got a mangonada and two paletas. All very delicious, and my ice cream was a great price. To top it off, they were offering free ice cream/paletas if customers filled out a short survey about their experience. Of course I filled it out, and got an extra mango paleta, which was a great deal. Overall, wonderful place, would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the area. read more

Still keeping my review at 5 stars, but I finally got to try their Frescas Con Crema, so I'm updating my review. Sadly, I did not enjoy it! The ratio of strawberries to creme was way off imo. There was barely any strawberries and the cream was extremely sweet. There was also an alarming amount of condensed milk that sunk to the bottom of the cup. It was so sweet that I got a headache after finishing only half the cup, and ended up having to throw the other half away. :( Fresas con Crema is one of my favorite desserts and unfortunately did not like it from here. Nonetheless, you can't go wrong with their ice cream and I've continuously have come back just for their Green Tea and Ube flavors! read more

I missed self-recognizing my momentous 1300th review, so here's to #1302! Below are 1302 reasons to love La Michoacana Moderna... J/k. Who has time for all that, right? I'll give you 1+3+0+2 reasons: 1) sooo many options of ice cream and paleta (popsicle) flavors!! Bubble gym, ube, Ferrero Rocher, cookies 'n cream, birthday cake, pistachio, you name it! Takes eating the rainbow to a new level! 2) hearty servings! My "small" cup was $4.99 and easily lasted me 2 sittings. Yes, I did put my leftovers in the freezer bc I didn't want to stuff myself in 1 sitting and summon the heartburn monster. See picture. Of my ice cream cup. Not the heartburn monster. 3) you can mix flavors! Single scoop is $3.49 and only one flavor, but you can get 2 flavors in a small, and so on, etc. 4) fun, upbeat, energetic decor and interior! Think pastel pink, green, blue, yellow furniture, like something out of Candy Land. 5) clean interior and friendly staff! 6) Indian fusion inspired appetizers are also offered here as part of Moti cafe, so you can get your savory and sweet cravings out of the way. Definitely recommend! read more

This food is crazy good! I often dream about the food here throughout the week and would eat here more often if I could.

This location is a combination of a La Michoacana and Moti Cafe. They do have an online ordering platform on toasttab that you can order items from Moti Cafe and La Michoacana as well. My first experience of Moti Cafe was in the city and it went really well. Ordering from here I had similar experiences. The chicken tikka pizza is definitely one of those things that are an acquired taste but I absolutely love it. It's a pizza that has a Tikka base sauce, green peppers, onions, mozzarella, garlic seasoning, Moti & Cilantro Lime sauces along with Chicken Tikka pieces. I personally wish they offered bigger sizes but the biggest size they have is the 12". If you get the 12" it's a thin crust pizza and if you get the personal size it's on a Naan Flatbread. I've had both and both are great. The chicken dumplings my brother and I both enjoyed as well. The sauce we liked best to accompany them was the Firecracker Sauce. Staff there was awesome, food was great. I definitely will be back. 5 all day!!!! read more

Went here twice this week! It's fairly new, super clean and cute. Love their Tikka pizza and elote pizza, we got small size naan pizzas and they were filling! Also got loaded fries and it was so crispy with unique seasoning and jalapeños for a little kick. I also loved their Guava agua fresca, very refreshing, and I don't think I've seen that flavor at other La Michoacana locations. I'm recommending this place to everyone! read more

I'm usually bitching that all food lately is boring, but at the same time I was debating whether to do a review or not, coz I rather this place be my little secret. I figure people will just by pass this and think, oh it's another La Michoacána chain. So, I have yet to try everything on the menu but eventually I will ... this place is like a combination of mexican/Korean/indian twist to it, not your typical Michoacána that you would expect. Bottom line, best damn tacos. No debate! I get their Indian chicken taco and their Korean bulgogi taco, add their el Lotte in a cup fully mixed hot cheetos and you will be in heaven. I cannot recommend this any stronger than that. They have other unique things as well, like dumplings, pizza, and chat, etc ... along with a huge selection of ice creams, etc. But literally best damn tacos. What's so weird is even with two tacos, which aren't really big in size, I'm like stuffed afterwards. It's like eaten elvish lembas bread. Anyway, really delicious. read more

Came in around 5PM today (just wanted to say the time to make sure to give some applause, for the employees cause I had excellent service and both guys were very kind! On top of that, I haven't used Yelp often but the quality of food here is just so amazing I had to download yelp and leave a review. My girlfriend and I got a slice of the tikka chicken naan pizza and also the samosa chaat. Ambiance and design of the place is cute. Overall a great place to grab really tasty food, I wouldn't just expect regular la Michoacana food here but so much more! read more

l've really enjoyed the paletas here - they are huge so I usually eat half and save the rest in the freezer for later (when I have self control). If you take them to go, they put them in small baggies to help them stay frozen. I tried their horchata, but that was way to sweet for me, but I'm happy with the paletas. read more

Such a cute place but the smell ughhhh. It smells like curry or some kind of indian food that they dont sell inside. It is gross. I was inside for only 10 minutes but my hair smells like it now. read more

We had people over and wanted to try something different. We ordered the chicken Tikka pizza, the bilgogi pizza, and the chicken dumplings in sweet chili oil. Of course we ordered some paletas bc La michocana is know for their yummy ice cream, for pick up. Everything was delicious! Food was warm, flavorful and perfect amount. We will definitely return. read more

This place is La Michoacána Moti. I love this restaurant. The Korean/Indian/Mexican fusion is creative and unique. Try all their pizzas!! The owner was on ABCs Family Food Fight and his creativity is in all the dishes. Dessert is great, too! There are so many choices and every time we come in, we look forward to trying something new! read more

For years my family enjoyed eating at this establishment, I mean how could you not? The combination of cultures and foods is a unique environment. But recently this combination turned into an unequal balance between the two different restaurants. I feel as though the original La Michoacana is losing its character and all its variety. The most recent visit to this establishment I experienced terrible service with the man at the register, I waited 15 minutes to be helped and even when it was done, it was done in a hurry and disrespectful manner. I feel as though this is on account of the decrease of workers in the store itself. And to say the store itself made up for the service is a gross overstatement, the place smelled bad and the tables seemed dirty, which would also be on account of the small amount of help for the workers. Seeing as there was a full restaurant and only two visible people working, under what seemed to be quite a bit of stress. It's sad to see such a unique and distinguishable place lose its element. read more

This place has become our new favorite spot. Not only do you get the best La Michoacana stuff like Mangonadas and Elotes but you get some of the most creative menu items from Masala Pizza. The Samosa Smash and Chicken Tikka Masala Tacos are probably the best tacos I've had in a long long time. The owner is a great guy and the staff is always really friendly. Great place, atmosphere, and food. read more

I had the pistachio ice cream and it was out-of-this-world! Consider myself a bit of a pistachio ice cream connoisseur. It was so creamy, full of flavor with lots of coarsely chopped pistachios and very light green (no artificial coloring). They have so many ice cream flavors to chose from that I will definitely be back. Prices are just right and the gentleman who assisted me was very knowledgable, friendly and welcoming. read more

loved the service and the food, we ordered kimchi fries which was also very filling and delicious :) I would definitely come again
