    Stale chips
    SF Native M.

    Review coming from a foodie: Food is ok, below average. I ordered al pastor (lacks flavor) burrito bowl. Not enough protein literally you can count by hand. Coming from San Francisco Mexican community their food is lack luster. Chips are chewy (a few days old). The only saving grace is the Modelo. I would stay away, not worth your money. I paid $29 for this so don't have to. Got rid of the food. Will not waste my calorie count in this.

    Left side is all tortilla? No rice in my bean, RICE and cheese burrito
    Brittney C.

    Really wanted to like this place since it's walking distance from our room but I can't. I don't think anyone appreciates when restaurants make their to-go orders wrong. After receiving the to-go order, I walked 15 minutes back to the room and had to put the burrito on the stove to give it actual crisp and color. You could tell upon unwrapping that the tortilla was low quality and that the burrito would burst at any minute due to the cracks in it. Finally sat down to enjoy my $10 bean, rice and cheese burrito but was met with disappointment and a lack of texture. The rice was missing, the beans lacked flavor. I know they closed at 5pm but was hoping I could call and someone would pick up to rectify the issue. Nobody picked up and I was hungry after a day of skiing so I forced myself to eat it even though the lack of texture made me nauseous. Called today and was told the only thing they could offer would be making me a new burrito. I don't think I should have to walk 30+ minutes round trip in the cold and have to eat another poor quality burrito due to their mistake. If you choose to come here, do yourself a favor and eat part of your to-go burrito before leaving so you don't get the same disappointment.

    2024 January

    Menu for February 2024 Decent food, easy, and kid friendly. Didn't do phone orders but food was pretty quick.

    Here's my test results after a days in the hospital.

    Bacteria-infected food is served here!!! Sent me to the hospital with Y. Entercolitica. Bacteria infection found in pork. Do not eat here, will give you serious health issues. What is concerning is that they even blocked up the food prep area so you can't see how untrained and unclean the place is. Unfriendly and incompetent. Negative stars since I spent multiple days in the hospital in serious pain - cramps, nausea, diarrhea and other health complications. The Y. Entercolitica. Bacteria infection maybe be the result of contamination from pork, rodents, and staff handling and storing of pork and pig products touching other foods (vegetables and rice) in prep area.

    This place is in Northstar Village. As I can see on Yelp, these quick and easy restaurants open and close frequently. There are no guarantees that they will be open next year. This one has Mexican food and I got a mini-kid's burrito. It was a build your own burrito with meat, pico, chicken, etc. It was good and a light snack. I had a Martinelli's apple juice. It was alright. So a year ago, I hit 1500 reviews and now I am at around 1980 reviews. I didn't hit 500 reviews in a year, but came so close...20 reviews short of 500 reviews.

    Super burrito, shrimp coctel, the special: pozole (hominy) soup
    Marissa P.

    For a Mexican restaurant in a resort, this place is pretty good. We ordered the super burrito with al pastor (pork) meat and it was huge. As most restaurants have it, it was too salty for my taste. The shrimp coctel didn't have as much tomato base as I would have liked, but it was still very flavorful. A bit spicy with the diced chiles if you mind spicy. The pozole (hominy) soup was a special on that day and it was delicious. Wish it had radish to garnish but again, it was great for what and where we were looking. The fried ice cream was too sweet for me but perfect if sharing. Coconut, cinnamon, and vanilla flavors. All in all, we would stop by again.

    Supreme burrito with chicken and guacamole

    Husband and I ordered the chicken super burrito the other day. It was delicious, we came back again today. Good stop for lunch, really hits the spot after skiing the slopes all morning and early afternoon

    We finally decided to pay a visit. The outdoor seating area is quite inviting, but unfortunately,…read moreit was a bit too chilly for comfort during our time there. The indoor space is also very pleasant, and the overall service was commendable. I ordered the pastor wet burrito, garnished with both red and green sauces. While the presentation was appealing, I wasn't particularly fond of the red sauce; it had a somewhat bitter taste that overshadowed the flavor of the pastor, which was disappointing. Next time, everyone mentioned that the tacos are better and were quite popular among others in our group who ordered them. The hot sauces available on the table were more on the sweet side rather than spicy. When I asked for a spicier salsa, I was informed after a 15-minute wait that they unfortunately did not have any. Despite these minor issues, I'm willing to give this place another try the next time I'm in the area. Great vegetarian options...

While dining inside was great/preferred, it was difficult to flag down someone as everyone else was outdoors. Their quesadilla was delicious, but the shrimps were super spicy so we ended up getting regular cheese quesadilla for the kids instead. Additionally, we got Super Nacos, a few tacos, chicken tenders with chips, and churro fries. The food overall took quite awhile to come out. At one point, we had to cancel one of our dishes because it never came and the kids were getting impatient about being there for so long...unclear whether this is because we had a large group and placed multiple orders (vs. 1 "complete" order in one go), but we likely wouldn't come back as a large group next time.

They were excellent. Like, the kind where you pause mid-bite and nod. The enchiladas were exactly what you want after a long Tahoe day: cheesy, saucy, and piping hot in the best kind of way. Comfort food perfection. Everything tasted fresh and made with care. A couple quirks to know going in: * Beware the green salsa. It is SPICY. Do not mistake it for guacasalsa. It's actually spicier than the red salsa and has some serious kick. * Chips aren't free and only come in one large size, so plan accordingly if you're just looking for a small side. Overall, fantastic food, generous portions, and totally worth the stop. We'll definitely be back next time we're in town.

We perused the market that is attached to the restaurant while we waited for our order. A great way to past time and loved all the authentic Mexican spices and produce there. Usually restaurants in Tahoe during winter season are super packed on the weekends with long wait times. But La Mexicana delivered authentic food in a prompt manner. Food was good. I got the carnitas and al pastor tacos for the combo. We also got an additional fish taco. The food was more than enough for me. I was pretty full after the two, and I pushed myself to split the fish taco. Fish taco was pretty good and had some good spice to it. I recommend giving that one a try.

The exterior green flaking paint should have been another warning sign. We walked into what at one time was an enclosed porch and seated in a converted bedroom. What a horrible place.. How this place passes county inspection is a true mystery. A basket of thick chips and a tiny bowl of hot sauce were placed on the table along with a pitcher of ice water. The pitcher was old, cracked and chipped.. We should have walked out but I thought maybe the food would make up for the decor, it most certainly didn't. We ordered the pork in green sauce, beans and rice with three miserable tortillas. The sauce had zero flavor and without being disgusting it looked like it had been served to a customer hours before. I opened the tortilla holder and found three luke warm tortillas that had been clipped off with a knife. Yanzi told me not to complain and I kept my mouth shut. In these difficult financial times, when every dollar counts, this is not where you should spend your money. Maybe 20 years ago this place was nice, now it's a total and complete, well let's just say it needs a total remodel job.
