LA TAQUERIA may be a familiar name in Murrells Inlet/Garden City, but under its new ownership it's…read moredefinitely worth another visit. With the owner, manager, and chef all actively involved in the restaurant, there's a real sense of pride in both the food and the customer experience. There's plenty of free parking, it's easy to get in and out, and you're welcomed into a clean, inviting dining room with bright, vibrant colors. I ordered the birria tacos, and they absolutely lived up to the hype. They come with a rich, flavorful consommé for dipping--it's like the French dip of the taco world. Every bite was packed with flavor, and I'd highly recommend them to anyone visiting. As I looked around the dining room, every dish heading to neighboring tables looked fresh, colorful, and beautifully prepared. It definitely left me wanting to come back and work my way through more of the menu. Whether you've never been before or haven't visited since the change in ownership, LA TAQUERIA deserves a stop. Based on my experience, the new team is doing an outstanding job, and I look forward to returning.

The inside was very clean and modern. They have a different special every day of the week which seemed like a great way to try everything on the menu. The star of the show was the shrimp burrito. Perfectly cooked, tender shrimp, excellently seasoned rice and beans all combined together with crema and lettuce in a grilled tortillas. There was actually quite a bit of shrimp in the burrito. And the salsas added extra depths of flavor. We also got chips and salsa. The chips were nothing to write home about, seemed to have been sitting out for a bit. The owner was nice, she brought out a free chip refill. The verde salsa and spicy salsa were homemade with good flavory and a nice smokiness. I felt the same way about the side salas that came with the burrito. It was decent, nothing special. I imagine the fries would be similar. Overall this was a great place to get some fresh hispanic seafood! The tacos also looked amazing, I would definitely recommend trying out the entrees here.

I read…read moreall the reviews and was excited - and I will tell you this - the ambiance and the watermelon mint margherita were on point. That drink was amazing. My wife's burrito was as good as you can get at any Mexican restaurant but not really better. I was pretty excited to try the chicken mole because so many reviews were talking about how authentic this restaurant was. When I first got the dish I tried the mole sauce. In my experience a good mole sauce is something that is a passed down for generations with a complex and unique flavor and a minor unsweetened dark chocolate undertone. This mole was not all that flavorful - was somewhat cold and painted over a fried 1/2 chicken. I was going to power through it and this may have been a four-star review - but when I peeled back the breast part of the chicken it was really cold - like refrigerator cold - almost frozen. Not undercooked - cold. This tells me that I was eating a meal that was prepared in advance and then re-heated. I will say that the server was excellent - and when I returned the dish he handled it like a pro, I ended up getting a different dish that was pretty solid - nothing exceptional. I haven't returned a dish in years and was happy with how this process went. I did get comped one of those excellent watermelon drinks which made me happy. All in all - I will probably go again - but I would probably only go to the bar for the drinks and ambiance. I'd give 3.5 stars - but cannot give 4 stars.

The carnitas, my go to at Mexican restaurants, we're the best I had. My wife loves birrias and it was excellent as well. We had Street corn, cachete tacos.

The selection ran from mild to spicy (habenero) with all the salsa carrying great flavor. A hidden gem was the pickled onions that held some spice as well. It paired wonderfully with the carnitas. Great selection of Mexican beers and an in-house sangria. This is a great choice it you are in the mood for a more authentic Mexican food experience.

Fortunately, the new owners do too. As always, I ordered the authentic tacos; however,the cilantro they contained was mostly yellow. Otherwise, they were okay.

It seems that the place has been refreshed a bit by the new ownership. Of course, prices have increased significantly too.

I've never had Arroz con Pollo be spicy and I typically do not care for spicy foods. I had them leave out the peppers, onions and mushrooms and add pineapple. Therefore, this was not my favorite Mexican place that we have eaten and will I go back? Probably not but if someone suggests it, I wouldn't turn them down, I will probably tell the waitress the next time to not add any peppery spices.
