My son and I stopped here on a whim after a visit to the bookstore up the road. It was a Sunday…read moreafternoon and White Pine felt deserted. We found everyone here at La Lajita. . .and for good reason! I have not had such flavorful Mexican food with an authentic selection in YEARS, and not since a family vacation to New Mexico have I had hot sauce like theirs! Don't miss this spot when you're in White Pine, or even just close by. . .it's totally worth a special trip!

The dining area was clean and well lit. I ordered the pollo loco and my sister ordered the Chimichangas. She ordered an extra order of Birria flour tortillas too. Everything was delicious! The best birria I've ever tried! And the cheese dip was creamy and thick too. They only have bottled drinks, so that's my only concern. Food was hot and delicious.

My husband and I split the Paraiso Special Dish and it was plenty for both of us. The decor is typical Mexican with pretty colorful murals on the walls. We will definitely be back!

The rest room is shared with the gas station behind it, and the loud, fast Mariachi music was annoying. That said, the food was surprisingly good and served quickly. Wife had fajita meat and sauce over french fries, and I had their Pollo Special. Both were really good, and the chicken was moist and served with lots of sauce, salad and sour cream. If this place was closer to where we live, we'd definitely go back.

As for the food/menu, I couldn't believe how extensive the fajitas menu was. My soon had the fajita Hawaiian, which had chicken, shrimp, steak, sausage, and wait for it, Pineapple. What a great a unique and fun combo. As for me, the fajita nachos. Which were very good but didn't come with the normal sides (rice, beans, sour cream and pico) that fajitas typically come with. However, the meal was very tasty. All in all, great place and we will be back. Bon appetite!

Oh yeah- the salsa is so good you could drink it out of a glass.

I just ordered from this place and will never do so again! The food they make is horrible. I had…read moreordered quesadillas de asada, and there was barely any cheese, if any at all. The meat appeared to be an unknown variety; it looked like a mixture of ground beef and pork. Nonetheless, there was not even a lot of meat; it was more onions and peppers. The new owners of this place clearly do not know what to do, or the cooks are just terrible. Took a bite and food tasted plain. Unseasoned or old. Looks like leftovers from the grill.

I have been there twice now and the employees were very friendly both times. I have to admit, it's not my favorite Mexican spot but it's very good and worth a try! Cheese Enchiladas: 7.5/10 You can almost never go wrong with cheese enchiladas! The cheese flavor is so delicious in these! Pork Tamales: 5/10 They only come in pork and have ground beef on top. The outside is very yummy, but the pork tastes odd. Almost like dog food as weird as that sounds. Carnitas Taco: 8.5/10 Carnitas meat is sooo tender and delicious! This is definitely something I would come back for! It comes with onions and cilantro. I didn't get the hot sauce, but I think that's what it was missing. It needed something to dip it in. Chimichanga: 4/10 Chimichanga was not deep fried. It was huge! It filled half of the box and the other half was rice and refried beans, but it was basically like ordering a supersized beef burrito with white queso on top. (El Chico a couple doors down has amazing chimichangas if that's what you're looking for)
