    Updating here in order to add photos of the current menu, as of May 12, 2025. Also to write and advise that it's a good idea to confirm, before you go, that they are indeed open.

    A friend and I were driving through Gilmer on our way back home to Austin and saw the listing on Yelp. We stopped for lunch and enjoyed a traditional dish from Mary's home town. It was so delicious! We were very glad to have stopped there.

    This sweet little authentic Mexican restaurant was terrific! I had pork with verde sauce, corn tortillas plus rice and refried beans... so delicious! I wish it were Tuesday for taco Tuesday!! Service was quick and the place is obviously popular with the locals. I'm glad we found this little Mexican gem!

    We stopped by for lunch on a Sunday afternoon and WOW! A small place with BIG taste! The pico and guac were freshly made and the rice and beans were delicious- and that's just the sides! My quesadillas were amazing and my boyfriend really enjoyed his chicken fajitas. We loved it and look forward to visiting again!

The Allen location closed, and we have missed it. We have driven two and a half hours to Gilmer in order to relive our La Finca joy. the salsas are excellent. Ask for the green and brown, because they only bring red otherwise. All three are great. The veggie fajita and veggie enchiladas are top notch. Don't order anything with shredded chicken because it's dry. Beef tacos and steak fajitas are good. Queso excellent. Our server was shy which hindered her from being an excellent server, but we didn't complain. I'm looking forward to our next road trip! Viva La Finca!

    Good food. Good value on specials. I was here for a quick dinner and was pleasantly surprised. I do…read morethink this restaurant and many others charge ridiculous prices for a fountain drink. I could buy a 12 pack of drinks for about $6-7 dollars at most places, yet it's $3 or $3.50 here for a fountain drink that might cost fifteen cents for them to make. $2 per drink would allow them more than enough profit. It's why many people are switching to water. Go back to charging $2 and you'll sell more and make more in the long run. My family would order drinks all the time for $2 each, but will continue to ask for water with lemon as long as these greedy places charge $3 and up for a Coke. 4 family members x 4 drinks at $2 each = $8 gross profit. 4 family members x 4 glasses of water = $0 dollars gross profit and pissed off customers who would have enjoyed the meal more and would dine out more often.

    Ok, so I've been to this restaurant several times now. I went several months ago and it was good…read more Not great but not bad either. My fiancee loves tacos and it's the closest Mexican restaurant. I always get the nachos. The first time I got them they were good. I've been back four times since then, and I don't know what happened, but the food and service got worse. I went several weeks ago, nachos were not good at all. The meat was cold, like it had been sitting in a warmer drawer all day and they didn't have it hot enough. Anyway fast-forward to tonight. I took my pregnant fiance for Valentine's Day. Worst experience yet. I once again got the nachos. (Thought maybe the cook had a bad night the last time). I tried chicken this time. It was terrible, chicken was cold, like the beef was last visit. The chips looked old and off colored. I couldn't even finish my food. I ordered the full size and each time I get less and less food. The chips were soggy already, it was like a pile of goo. How can chips get soggy so quickly? We sat and waited for the waitress to come back to our table so we could get more soda. Took her forever and there was only one other family there. On my way home I got sick and had to pull over on the side of the road. Was the last time I'll visit this establishment.

    Clean restaurant, friendly and quick service, but the food was not good. Tacos were okay. Chips…read moretasted off and salsa was very bland. Chile relleno was covered in what was advertised as queso but didn't resemble any type of cheese I've ever seen nor did it taste like cheese. Wouldn't recommend or return.
