So, I've been to this place for just drinks once and dinner couple times. Reason I don't go more…read moreoften? Cause I'm not always around this neighborhood. Tonight, had burrito fajita and strawberry margaritas and can I say, hello Mexico! Plus, we went at 8:30 they close at 9, they didn't shrug. 9:00 came, they told us to basically chill, enjoy our drinks. Service was spot on, so relaxing and we were treated very nice. Alls I can say, is, go here, try it out. I'll be back!

First visit and was just ok with everything. Margaritas…read morewere very tasty but too much ice and not enough "drink". Received the customary chips/salsa when we sat down. Salsa was too watered down and not enough substance to it. Also needs a bit more spice. Main meal was fajitas. Tasted good and came out fast. Kinda made me feel like not made fresh? The beans definitely were a bit light. Service was great. Lots of help. Nice place to visit and a decent dinner crowd. I would say we give it another try.

The pizza we ordered was excellent but the burgers were overcooked and the fries were cold. The…read moreserver didn't check in with us until we were done eating and never asked us how the food was, so there wasn't even a chance to make things right. We did love the ambiance outside and hope the kitchen and service improves for future customers. Update: when we got the bill, we discovered that we had paid $6 for each premium meat topping on the pizza instead of one $6 charge for the premium upgrade. We were shocked and asked to speak to the manager who explained that the menu could be better worded to be more clear and that they are short staffed right now. She was very kind and gave us a slight discount, but it was still a very expensive meal considering the food and service.

We ordered a variety of items from the menu. Some good. Some not so good…read more We we pretty disappointed in the standard Mexican fair: tacos and chips with queso. The steak was bland, chewy, and like small nuggets. The tortillas were dry and undercooked. The queso dip was too salty and the flavor was less cheesy than one might expect; I'd bet it was either a processed cheese or canned sauce. Now, the cheese quesadilla was quite nice and it's side of rice was very good. We also tried their wings, mango habanero and parmesan garlic. Both were excellent, although I'd like more heat from the habanero. They were deep fried in clean oil and retained the crispiness when served; just the way they should be. They were sauced appropriately. We shared our disappointment and delight with thee server who was empathetic and apologetic. I'm not sure what to make of the cost at $50. Seemed high for the quality, quantity, and everything being ala carte. I'm also not so sure about the ambiance. They had plenty of tvs on the walls, and I just don't like that outside a sports bar. The place was clean and that says a lot.

People at the store suggested this…read moreMexican restaurant so we stopped here, took us a trip around the block to figure out the parking in the back. We were seated quickly but it took awhile for our food to arrive after ordering, so we ended up eating way too many chips and salsa. Our fajitas were huge and excellent, and service was above average. The place is nicely decorated and the tables and decor were impressively neat and original. We'll put Casa Mexicana on our list of restaurants to remember to stop again if we're in the area. After leaving I realized that it was Valentine's Day and that affected how busy they were.

Food: This is probably the best Mexican around. I ordered…read morethe chimichanga and it exceeded all my expectations. I would highly recommend, especially because it comes with rice and beans. The beef inside tasted very authentic, not to mention delicious. my Sister also got the burrito and enjoyed it a lot. It was very big. The complementary chips and salsa are also a highlight because it's the only salsa I actually like. They also have a small complementary topping and dip bar where you try all kinds of different salsas and other dips and also grab lettuce and limes for you entrée. Over all: food is 9/10 Service: As soon as we walked in a waitress came up to us and seated us. We did not have to wait. She asked us what we wanted to drink. We both got water, but it had lemons in it so it felt fancy. We got our drinks and we're able to order fairly quickly. After we ordered our meal also came very quickly. Our server was very nice and smiley and we got checked on a few times. (Once when we went here our server had this really cool mustache and it honestly just made the whole experience better.) over all: service 9/10 Ambience: The environment is very nice, like if you dress up fancy, you wouldn't feel out of place but you also feel it wouldn't feel out of place if you dressed casual. It doesn't feel cramped but it also isn't overly big. They have lights on the ceiling that moved to the beat of the music that's quietly plain, which is very neat. The fake plants on top of the lights dangling down at a very neat effect. Makes me feel like I'm in Mexico! Over all: 9/10 Over all: Would highly recommend La Authentica (especially the chimichangas) whether your dining alone on a date or as a family
