I used to come here pretty regularly for some decent tacos. The ladies behind the counter are always so kind to me and my broken Spanish. I got a handful of entrees for the kids and me. We all loved the simple quesadilla. It was loaded with cheese and the cheese pull on it was awesome. The tacos were ok. Kind of dry and were $3 each which seemed high for what we got. I'll come back again, and continue to experiment with the menu. read more

Reliable Late-Night Spot With Good Food and Great Prices This place has become one of my go-to restaurants for a few key reasons. First--and most importantly--their hours are far better than most spots in Reno. For a city known for being up all night, it's surprisingly hard to find decent food late in the evening. So many restaurants close at 9 or 10 p.m., even on weekends. Not this one. They stay open late, and they're consistently available when others aren't. The food? Solid. I wouldn't go as far as to call it great, but it's definitely good--reliable, satisfying, and consistent. The pricing is excellent as well, especially considering how reasonable the portions are. Now, I'll be honest--the ambiance isn't really why you come here. It's pretty minimal, and most people (myself included) tend to pick up and go rather than dine in. But that's kind of the charm. It's straightforward, dependable, and gets the job done. If you're looking for a no-fuss spot that's open late, rarely has a wait, serves good food at a great price--this is absolutely worth checking out. Hopefully they don't mind me saying all this, because I plan on keeping it in my weekly rotation. read more

La Michoacana could be the place to be for your late night Mexican food. The food here is decently priced. This time, I ordered tacos with buche, cabeza, and lengua. The buche was hands down my favorite--perfectly tender and flavorful. I also had the menudo, which was loaded with tripe and seasoned just right. I sent it back to get reheated because I prefer my menudo piping hot, and the staff had no problem accommodating my request. The horchata I ordered was creamy and refreshing, the perfect balance to the savory dishes. The service was excellent. The lady who took our order was incredibly kind and likable--she really made us feel taken care of, which is always a big plus. The ambiance is great for casual dining, whether you're stopping in with friends or grabbing a late-night bite solo. Based from my recent visit, I would recommend La Michoacana. read more

I loved this place back when I used to live in the apartments behind it. It was very basic back then. It used to be open 24/7 and I'd come here late at night for a good taco. They have really fixed the place up but the food is just as good! The staff are always friendly even though they can tell I'm just another white girl. I love coming here the prices are reasonable and the food is great! Definitely recommend trying this place out! read more

La Michoacana - Burrito Mojado asada with red sauce. - Mexican Near Me - Reno, Nevada

The tacos here are delicious. The meat is tender and flavorful. Usually I get the asada, carnitas, &/or the pastor. They have an open salsa bar for red and green salsa as well as limes and pickled veggies. The service is friendly. You order at the counter and they call your number to pick it up when it's ready. There's a pretty mural on the wall by the salsa bar. Sports playing on the tv, and a small arcade area. read more

Food has changed over the years but still decent .

Service is at standard read more

Quesabirria tacos for the win. The standard was set here for Reno a long time ago and I'm SO happy to see it still in business! Street tacos, desserts, you name it. They have it all. Don't expect a sit down experience where a server comes to your table. This is more of a cafeteria style where you order, park it and grab your salsas, and wait for them to call your name in the window. I love it, because its authentic, cheaper than most food experiences these days, and the food quality is above average. Enjoy! read more

The tacos are very good, the wet burrito and torta are some of our favorites. Been going to here over a decade, love introducing coworkers to the variety of apps and entrees.

La Michoacana - Chorizo, steak, carnitas tacos. - Mexican Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Came in with my son for a quick couple of street tacos - asada and carnitas and this little place did not disappoint. The tacos have come up in price since my last review. $2.25 and still not so bad for that price. Both meats were very tasty. I also had a horchata to wash them down, and it was a nice change from the holiday foods from weeks before. Busy place on a Sunday. The menudo looks like a hot ticket item. We initially ordered the birria, but they were sold out. I'm still a fan of the spiced veggies, and salsa options, but they are slimmer since the pandemic. read more

So I was headed to Olive Garden ... but I think it was really wanting something else and earlier that day hey buddy, I find asked if I've ever tried La Michoacana. I said no, but let him know that and I have been hearing about this mysterious place for years and I never knew where it was - when he said Olive Garden parking lot in down south Virginia I decided to go and get that and you know certainly I come into the parking lot for a different entrance and there it is so I put Olive Garden to the side and gave this place a chance. There was a freezing cold night and I did not wanna be out lat there te. This is why I was going to get carb heavy pasta ... was feeling like I needed to hibernate. However I'm so happy I changed my mind and try this place first before going in. I looked on yelp and Google and looked at the reviews and saw the menu which I don't know why but Google had like 10 different pictures of the hour sign and they're all different confused on if it was even gonna be open, but it was I went in and it smelled delicious fresh spicy jalapeño aroma that make your nostrils open up and say hello I just got three Carne Asada tacos to go based on one very simple online recommendation. The cost is way less than Olive Garden and and the time to get my food was faster too. let's not you know pretend that there aren't 100 other types of restaurants like this around the Reno Sparks area. Yeah, what makes this place better and worth the drive across town to ensure you've been here at least once? I moved here in the year 2000 and since living here I've heard about this place countless times from strangers to friends, and I can't believe that it took this long to actually figure out where it was and try it. It has been a staple for those around Meadowood Mall for many years and now I know why I am so excited to go back to try the other meats they have and other specials read more

La Michoacana - Parking lot - Mexican Near Me - Reno, Nevada

I like how this place is open for 24 hours. The service is very great along with the ambiance of the restaurant. There is a lot of seating, and there's a good amount of people that come in. I would say the prices are fair, especially the super burrito. The meat lacks a bit of seasoning and can be dry, but in terms of a good midnight meal, I would say to give this place a try to satisfy your taco craving. read more

The place resembles an old bank building with thick glass windows and a microphone to speak into when you order, definitely a strange setup. The sign lit up said 24 hours, but they closed at 1130pm. There's a vending machine that makes cotton candy and it beeps and makes noises constantly. I had plenty of time to eat, but they only give about 3 tortilla chips with a whole side of guacamole , I thought that was weird. The tacos are good, they load them up and the meat is very flavorful, but like $25 for two taco combo plates is a lot! read more

The lady that helped me was an angel. She was super nice and gave me a rundown of what was in the birria cuz I have a sensitive stomach but it was sooo good and the champurrado I gotta say might be the best in town. read more

I called the restaurant looking for a yes. No, answer. If you had black beans or not, the lady answered the phone, she was rude. She put me on hold for like 20 minutes. I hung up and called back and went in the voicemail. For like an hour, you guys need to teach your employees. How to be nice to other people? I'm not recommending your restaurant to anybody. read more

Stopped in and got some asada tacos to go. The place is plain. Just some tables and chairs to sit in. Just the basics. There was no one in line so I was waited on almost immediately. I got some red and green salsa for my tacos as I waited. My taco order was ready in just minutes. Brought the food home. The tacos were individually wrapped in wax paper. The tacos tasted good. The red hot sauce had a very good taste to it. You can chipotle peppers mixed in there. It wasn't too spicy. It had actually the perfect spiciness to it and good flavors. The tacos are small. I ate 5 of them and I was full. I remember when this place was open 24 hours. I wish they still were. read more

If i could put a negative star rating id do it, food is tasteless. Portions are super small and its more american food not mexican

The inside was definitely interesting but the food came extremely fast and the people working were very nice. The food was very good but the Tamal could use more meat. Overall I would recommend. I'm typically very picky about my horchata but that was also very good. read more

WoW. We're so disappointed today. Everything has changed. They no longer have Flan. I wouldn't reduce the stars for that. But the Huevos Rancheros are totally different. They are NOT served with ANY sauce at all. Just dry chopped peppers. And I ordered the eggs cooked as LITTLE as possible. And they came with broken yolks cooked totally hard with browned crispy egg whites. I also asked for sauce on everything including the beans. The beans were dry and not seasoned. Just nothing like it used to be. I think we may have a language barrier. She obviously heard me. I repeated it twice. She even went to the cook to explain the cooking. I just think she doesn't understand the difference between little and lot. I suppose if you speak Spanish it will be different. But if you do not, beware. I doubt we will return. (:-( read more

Visiting Reno and just walking through the plaza when this restaurant caught our attention Food/Taste/Flavor: 5/5 - these are the items we ordered: 2 taco buche (intestines), 2 taco cabeza (head), taco asada, and burrito pastor (based on recommendation). It's not as common to see buche and cabeza so we were super excited! The buche was cooked well without being queasy or chewy with a really earthy taste. The cabeza was a bit oily compared to the asada which was expected but still so delicious. The pastor was marinated well with so much flavor that no sauce really was needed on it. There is a salsa bar but no onion, cilantro, or the avocado sauce. Ambience: 5/5 - clean and spacious with social distancing in mind. Three arcade games in the corner for entertainment as well as large tvs on each side of the restaurant Service: 5/5 - cashier was super cheerful, nice, and friendly. Knowledgeable about the food and customer preferences Value for price: 5/5 - delicious food, great customer service, reasonable price read more

Open 24hrs. We had lengua, cabaeza, and bucce street tacos and they all were so good! I liked their red sauce over the green personally. My girl had queso birrio tacos which were also super fire. Service from staff was friendly and our food came out fast. Place wasnt busy at all at 1pm on a sunday. Nice and clean bathrooms and inside. I would go back the food is really good! read more

Discovered birria and now if I see it on the menu, I try to make it out there. So here I am. This soup is orangy looking and lightly salted. Added the cilantro and finely chopped onions that gave it the extra flavor boost. So new to this soup, I was a little dismayed to see a lot of bones and connective tissue in the many chunks of meat that were in it. Kind of like an osso bucco where you pick out the meaty parts. The taste is there and the bones contained a lot of marrow if you like to suck those things out. Different cut of meat than what I was expecting. My dad would enjoy this style of meat. On to the burrito supreme. About $13 for half an arm's length of burrito. Definitely shareable. Not much spice heat. Choice of green and/or red sauce. So this is a stand in line, order and either take-out or dine in this widely spaced seating area. A place to eat and drink a variety of Mexican drinks, beer and sodas. Brewed iced tea, too. Not a romantic place. Just a quiet place to eat Mexican food. read more

I don't understand all the good reviews. This was disgusting. Like canned dog food quality and nothing had any flavor. The meat in the taco was nothing but disgusting pieces of weird fat and like 2 stringy chunks of it. It was so gross I would even feed it to my dog. Glad it's cheap because I couldn't even eat it. Definitely get what you pay for. But there's petty of good quality traditional Mexican food in Reno. Do not go here!! read more

Great customer service and delicious food. Lovely lady that helped us was so sweet and welcoming. Also the prices are very reasonable plus they are open late. Highly recommend! read more

Updating my review since it's been a few years! I have a sweet spot for this place because it was my go-to place for after a night of drinking in college. I'm glad to see that this place is still open after so many years (can't believe it's been more than a decade!) They've really cleaned the place up post corona. Less tables, no more racks to put your dirty dishes, and lcd screen menus! Same great service with bilingual staff to take your order. The pastor is a lot better than I remember!! Got the pork tamale and it was SPICY!!! WOW. I couldn't handle the heat. Sadly, it is no longer 24 hours, but still a solid cheap taco establishment!! I personally like the cafeteria style of ordering up front and finding your own seat. read more

I'm from Cali and so far this is one of the best spots for Mexican food. Reasonably priced and pretty authentic for RENO. They have plenty of dining space and a small arcade with some old school games I haven't seen in years! I've tried two different dishes so far. The chicken enchiladas, and the combo plate with your choice of meat, rice and beans. The red enchilada sauce could be spicier. Like I said Reno be lacking on good food but this place is is close to authentic. The rice could be better. But for the prices I'd come back. I'm a night owl so I'm glad it's open pretty late. Only reason I dropped a star is because they charge for chips and salsa, grilled onions/chili peppers. In Cali and other spots.. it's free. read more

Reliable food. Basic Mexican dishes. Food flavor has changed over the years but still tastes well enough to go back. The agua frescas are the best part. All the flavors taste really good. Service is always good super friendly. read more

For a quick spot for Mexican food this is a good place to go! I loved the nachos topped with tomatoes, beans, guacamole, and sour cream the ratio of chips to toppings were perfect. Not to mention the portion size of nachos were HUGE. You also get to choose what meat you want on top, I got the carnitas and they were fire, but I did wish I tried the carne asada. I loved how they put the melted cheese on the side so the chips didn't get soggy. The street tacos are not my favorite but there are still 8/10! When ordering to-go large orders they are great!!! I also love how they serve beer & micheladas here also :) They use to be open 24/7 or open late but I think due to covid their hours changed. read more

La Michoacana - Carnita & chicken tacos, carnita nachos, michelada, - Mexican Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Great Mexican food. I finally found a place in Reno, NV that has Mexican food that is comparable to the Mexican food in L.A. I had the Bistec combination plate with a breakfast burrito via the eggs over easy... instead of the standard go-to scrambled eggs. The green & red salsa was good along with the pickled jalapeño, onion, & carrot medley! I thanked the Mexican lady cooking in the back and said the food was very good! You see...it takes having a Mexican lady cooking because they do the best job...lots of put into everything! Their prices are very reasonable!! They are also generous with their great food. read more

Maybe I'm not used to this type of Mexican food since I'm from south Texas, but I didn't expect my enchiladas to taste sweet. I'm used to a savory flavor and sometimes even a tad bit of spice. I truly couldn't finish my enchiladas. The rice and beans were ok. The nacho order was just chips and queso. Not bad for $1.50 The prices are fair. They are fast. Parking is available on site and shared. read more

Here's a funny story. From 2009 to 2014, I came up to Reno to work quite often. When I did I stayed nearby at the Marriot. I also was a regular here. So in 2014 I moved here and have not eaten here until last week. Why? I have no idea. Strange. Now I work nearby. So last week I go in and get some tacos. Carnitas--wow Al Pastor--wow Shredded chicken---good Grilled---good What elevates them is the super fresh corn tortillas I suspect they make. These are great street tacos. Traditional. For $2.99 I got chips and cheese. Big portions. The red and the green sauce are good, plenty of carrots and peppers. Truth be told, went back the next day, so close to my work. read more

Awesome simple food . What you would expect in a small taqueria across the border. Best tacos and tamales I've eaten in Reno ever

I was actually recommended here by two co-workers for their tacos. So glad that they mentioned it - I now come here when I get a craving for tacos! I love how they're open 24 hrs. When I get off work, I'm able to stop by and get some tacos to take home. My boyfriend has tried all the different meats and prefers the Carnitas. I, myself, tend to stick with the Al Pastor. I've only been here for the tacos, so my review is only for that. They're decent tacos at $1.25 each~ The place isn't that fancy, but there's plenty of seating and some arcade games to play. On display are some of their fruits and desserts near the order area that you can take a look at. The ladies taking our order were also sweet. After receiving your order, there's a bar area where you can take some lime, pickled veggies, or salsa to go. My only complaint would be that sometimes the order takes a while, but waiting is worth it~ read more

La Michoacana - Menu 01/20/19 - Mexican Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Full disclosure this review is based strictly on a takeout order at night! Overview I'd say small to average sized portions. Affordable prices. Basic flavoring and ingredients. More specifically chips and salsa; chips were nothing special, obviously. I feel like I've bought the exact same chips at Costco. And the salsa- though it did have a nice subtle heat to it, was still lacking flavor. The nachos; really light and fresh-ish tasting thanks to the mix of guacamole and sour cream dressing they put on top, some beef and beans gave it a twist but they left out the CHEESE! No nachos are complete without cheese. And the flautas were soggy, bland, and weren't filled up as much as would've been desired! So to sum up in one word; lacking:/ Probably will opt for another place in the future read more

I'm becoming convinced that there isn't a good taqueria in Reno. Was at the local watering hole and asked the bartender where to snag a burrito. He steered me here--had my eye on this place for some time. It was pretty bad. Burrito was missing the guacamole, was cold, cheese not melted and runny....probably should give 2 stars but I don't know it's day after thanksgiving so maybe I'm generous. Ah nope--2 stars it is. Terrible would skip it. read more

Okay I haven't gone here in awhile so I decided to get a breakfast burrito with no rice or beans. But you can clearly see rice and beans. Like cmon man. Imagine getting thos if it got deserved but I picked this up. I am truly upset because I am not a fan of beans. And I hate the rice in burritos just because its to much and you get less taste from the meat and eggs. This place truly disappointed me today. I don't know if I will be back. Also I used to come here very late at night because it was only one of the few places open late and now the close at 10. So mainly the reason why I come here in the first place because it was open late. read more

I love this spot. Its right next to where I live. Also you can't beat the prices. Their tacos are $1.25(small street tacos) and I get those every time. Their taste is consistent. They always get to you right away when you walk up to their counter. I always get the same thing. I get 3 al pastor tacos and 1 asada torta. It comes out to less than $13. Can't beat that. I would definitely recommend this place. They're fast, their food is tasty, and they're open from 6 am to 10 pm! read more
