Cool, maybe they're taking someone's order, I'll try again in a bit. Tried again, still off the ringer. I live close enough so I decided to drive up and order.

I kindly let her know the phone was off the ringer, and she pulls it out from behind the counter, eyes me up and down, and puts it back under the counter. Great look guys.

We randomly decided on this place because our original choice had a long wait, while this…read morerestaurant was able to seat our large party inside immediately. 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.

The fish tacos tasted delicious with the combination of salsa and toppings on it. However, the fish was overcooked and my friend's corn tortillas were not pan fried enough and she had food poisoning from the chicken tacos. Shrimp tacos were amazing and i love how they had a thick hot sauce which looked like the diablo sauce. My mango sin mocktail was delicious as well. The shrimp quesadillas were great. My daughter enjoyed it! The server is pretty nice, but a bit slow because they only have one or two when they are very busy.

This place was surprisingly bad. I am pretty forgiving to restaurants and restaurant workers as…read moreit's such a hard business to be in. But this one, I have to warn you about. The food was just bland. All the flavors were off. The chips tasted bland. The salsa was flavorless. Even the rice was terrible. The service was rushed, and they got 2 of 4 orders completely wrong, and had to remake them. At the end the meal, the server rushed me into paying her without showing me an itemized bill. She also pre-selected a 20% tip on her credit card machine. The amount seemed off, so I asked her for an itemized receipt upon payment. That's when I realized that she had charged me for extras I never ordered and that were never served. The wife didn't want to create a scene and wanted to get back to the hotel, so I just wrote it off as a loss. Food: 2/5 Service: 2/5 Cleanliness: 2/5 Ethics: 1/5

If you're in Kings Beach and craving legit, no-frills Mexican food, La Mexicana absolutely…read moredelivers. Easy 5 stars. The fish tacos were LOADED with large pieces of deep-fried fish. 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.

We were seated at a booth in the middle of the spacious restaurant but decided on another for more privacy. We were given a bottle of water and glasses without prompting. Looks like they repurpose liquor bottles for this purpose and I like that very much! We decided on Fried Cheese Curds, Pork and Padron Pizza, and Los Olivos Pizza. They all came out quick. The cheese curds were delicious! Crispy outside and chewy inside, sweet and salty, and the dipping sauce was so tasty we asked for another. We enjoyed both pizzas too, with their flat dough. We were hungry so this hit the spot for us. We weren't able to finish all tho so we brought some leftovers back, which tasted fine cold for dinner! Staff were attentive and friendly. Prices seem reasonable for the unusual ingredients, quality, and portion. 4 stars.

Alibi was a cool spot with awesome wall art inside their bar and in the adjacent dining area. You order at the bar and can choose either scene to enjoy your food and drinks.

I ordered their seasonal Asian Wonton Salad ($15) with a sweet dressing and loads of cabbage, carrots, and onions, and it was a refreshing bite to pair with my draft beer. Drinks were fairly prices and had a great selection of local choices. If I'm ever back in warmer weather, would definitely enjoy checking out the outside patios.

Very warm and very friendly to talk with. She was always checking on me to make sure my water glass was full and how b my meal was. Super nice person!! The beet salad is "To Die For!" The dressing on this fabulous! So tasty it's addicting! The beets, candied walnuts and cheese mixed with the arugula was such a fantastic and delicious combo! I'd drive 4 hours just for this salad! The all meat pizza is delicious! The tangy tomato sauce is a very welcomed change of flavor when compared to other pizzas. The sour dough crust is a welcome change too! Very tasty with the tasty meat toppings! The beer flight I had was delicious! I liked the first one a lot! I'm not a very big drinker but I liked the first one. The stout is very delicious too with a fairly strong coffee flavor. All the beers were very yummy!

Maybe schedule a team meeting and hash it out there? Things don't usually improve when the employees are more self-involved than they are concerned about customers. That's not why we visit.
