The staff is friendly and attentive. The food was fresh hot and super Delicious. We had the tacos Asada, shrimp tacos , tacos pastor and a vegetarian Sopia . The freshness and flavors took us back to street taco carts in Mexico. We don't live close ,but do pass this exit often. They will def be on our "Stop by " list! Go , you won't be sorry. Did I mention it's super clean and the iced tea is just sweet enough and fresh. One and a half miles off I75 Calhoun Exit.

Stopped in for a weekday lunch. Shabby strip mall looking place but not bad inside…read more Had a few vegetarian dishes which was nice. Chips and salsa were generic, sadly about what I was expecting. Vegetarian burrito was above average. Lots of veggies, unfortunately they were a bit oily and overall the burrito was also bland. Ironically, it was plated very well with some grilled onion, rice and beans and guac. The rice and beans were the same industrial type food as the chips, but the guac was actually pretty good and I appreciated the grilled onion. Not my first stop, but not horrible.

Street Tacos, Tamales, etc. were all excellent. Get your Soft Drink from the Store and Pat there on the way out. Our Waitress spoke limited English, so ask for everything you want. They won't assume anything. Did I mention the Tamales were excellent; ask for extra sauce to kick them up a notch.

We passed by multiple exits with fast food options and less than desirable reviews. The Yelp score is what caught our attention. We went in for lunch and we were greeted by 3 cheerful young ladies. We were thankful they allowed us to bring our dog in, as it was too hot for him to stay in the car. He tucked himself comfortable on the cool floor under the booth. We ordered 2 horchatas, a carne asada lunch plate and 3 el pastor mexican tacos. The portions were plentiful. The food arrived quickly. It was hot, flavorful. The beans and rice were made well. The el pastor tacos had pineapple cooked in them. The carne asada was thinly sliced, savory and tender. The guacamole was fresh with a little heat from the jalapeños.We left nothing behind. Big hit for us

If you crave authentic street tacos with fresh, soft, made to order, tortillas, and melt in your…read moremouth meats then stop wasting your time reading this, get in your car and go now! (I highly recommend the chicken.) For those still reading, if you're used to going out for "Mexican" food where sombreros hang on fake adobe walls and the lunch menu includes something called the Speedy #5, forget it. But, if you grew up in the South like me and know that a craving for Nanny's biscuits and gravy means avoiding flashy chain restaurants like the plague, you'll understand Carniceria Y Tienda La Mexicana the minute you walk in the door. This is a wonderful place serving up authentic examples of Mexican down-home cooking. A few things to keep in mind: 1. The menu seems to be fairly extensive, although I've never actually seen a menu. 2. If you don't speak Spanish, you might be in for an adventure. Don't let that scare you away though! Persevere and you'll be well rewarded. My first time, I was a bit out of my depth. Luckily a nearby table of young ladies came to my rescue and acted as my translators! 3. When you're ready to pay, take your ticket to the counter in the attached grocery store. Make sure to browse while you're there for tasty treats unavailable in your local mega-mart. 4. If you're concerned about a language barrier, go to the grocery store counter when you arrive and ask for a little assistance ordering, they're very nice and quite fluent in English. I've saved the best for last. On Fridays and Saturdays, the ladies in the kitchen make up a giant batch of the best Tamales I've ever tasted. In fact they might be one of the best anythings I've ever tasted. So, run by on your Friday lunch break and pick up a couple. You won't even have to wait since the guys at the grocery store counter keep a bunch on hand. Your mouth will thank you!

This was authentic Mexican food. So delicious. You felt like mom and pop were in the back cooking…read more We had tacos and they make their own corn tortillas. I'm not a fan of corn tortillas but these were AMAZING... the salsa was wonderful too. Now they did not serve chips and salsa so don't be disappointed when they don't bring you chips, but the food was totally worth it. The tacos were big and full of chicken or beef (which is actually steak). Don't be fooled by the grocery store attached. There's a little restaurant beside it. The service was wonderful and she spoke English, which was great, cause we don't know Spanish. I would totally recommend this place!!! Forgot to take pictures...

It's only chicken and cheese for $11 bucks i would at least expect onion, peppers or even a sprinkling of cilantro. No flavor at all. Rice seemed like it was made earlier this week then microwaved today. I gave 2 stars because the al pastor taco was decent. It came with grilled onions, grilled Serrano, radish and lime. It was tasty. On top of that there's paper plates and plastic utensils. Which I would expect from the food truck they have sitting in the parking lot. Not at a sit down. Won't be back.
