The flavor is spot on - the green & red sauce add a good amount of spice to offset the richness of the meat. We also had the street corn which is creamy & delicious. We had a 1/2 lb of Chicherones - they were high quality pork belly - crispy on the edges & fatty in the middle. I prefer the cracklins, but these were delicious. We had 1 other taco entree, but the name escapes me now. I was assured it was also delicious. I definitely recommend this place. Don't think you'll get away cheap from this place because you won't... but I must say it was worth every penny!! The staff is very friendly too. We will definitely go back.

I was actually in the mood for breakfast burrito and i also order a bunch of other items to try them. Everything was tasty and delicious. The breakfast was decently sized. The taco meat were great, and the churros were so delicious. What i like about this place is the price... felt like its extremely affordable for what you get. Guess this place makes money off the volumes. what's surprising is that, they have taco tuesdays. only 99 cents, which is insane with inflation. i legit thought all tacos places got rid of 99 cent tacos. Good to know they still have it around. The workers are very nice and friendly. They also have live music, at least when i went.

Little ones had a blast on the outdoor play area that families have direct access to their kids out on the patio space. I believe this used to be a daycare that was closed down during the pandemic and the owners then bought it and turned it into a restaurant. Rare to find an exposed playground at a sit down restaurant. A+ for that alone. The mango margarita is refreshing and not too sweet; I enjoyed the happy hour pricing. Fajitas were fine. We would definitely get their tres leches and sopapolllas again! All in all I highly recommend for parents looking for a spot for their kids under the age of five.

Be prepared to walk if you are coming here. The cheese dip was good and my margarita was strong. Our server was very nice and we definitely overloaded him with the amount of things we asked for, but he handled it in stride. The floaters were good and the tortilla soup was great. The guacamole however, was left to be desired. They filled the bottom half of the cup with shredded lettuce and added extra onion on top to make it look fancy so when we mixed everything together, we didn't notice there were already onions in it and that there was lettuce underneath to make it look like there was more in the bold and they're actually was. So the guacamole just tasted like onion and there was hardly any guacamole. It was mostly lettuce covered in guacamole pretty disappointed in that.

It had a cute patio (it was too cold at the time) and inside is somewhat intimate with how dimly lit it is. Service was pretty straightforward, we ordered and we were checked on consistently. I had ordered Manuel's enchiladas and they were so perfectly saucy. I like that there was a variety because I can never make up my mind on what I want. We finished off with the coconut flan and it was everything I wanted. The coconut flavor and flakes added a whole different level to flan for me. I've never had it this way before. I look forward to having it again!

The bathrooms weren't the nicest but also not the worst--one of the stall doors didn't lock, though they had added something to help with that. The inside is pretty nice, and our waiter came over shortly after we were seated. We ordered appetizers and drinks, and the appetizers arrived in about 15 minutes. Unfortunately, the service wasn't the best. Our server would leave for long periods and didn't check on us, even though she passed by our table multiple times and we clearly needed assistance. She also addressed us with very casual language like "yeah," which didn't feel very professional. That said, the food was excellent. Everything starting with the chips and salsa was great--the salsa was one of the best fresh salsas I've ever had. We also ordered the cheese quesadillas, and they were perfect in every way. My entrée was delicious as well; the cheese and meat were cooked perfectly, and the rice and beans were great. (I got the fajita Monterrey) Overall, the food was very tasty, but the service could definitely be more professional. Also, the menu is not very flexible--you can't substitute ingredients (like removing onions from the guacamole) or order off-menu items such as egg tacos, even though they have the ingredients. The food was good, but I'm not sure I loved the service.

Let me tell you they were cooked really well. Crispy on the outside and a little chewy on the inside which is perfect for me. Tortillas were ok but didn't seem homemade. Overall they were tasty. Salsa was decent. Simple taco. My meal order was the pork in green chili sauce meal. This was actually pretty good and the beans and rice were flavorful. The flour tortillas didn't seem like they came out of a bag. I washed it all down with a horchata that was good but maybe missing cinnamon. Final review is this place was good but nothing over the top. I might go back to try something else and see if the menu is consistent.

Our cocktails were all good - and the appetizers were very good. We had the crispy pork belly and the tostaditas with barbacoa. The crispy pork belly was especially delicious and I would order as my own dinner in the future. It comes with onions and sauces and corn tortillas and it's to die for - so crispy and flavorful. We ordered the Bistec enchiladas and they were good but not as good as the appetizers. They give you a variety of sauces when you're seated that you keep throughout the meal - from mild to spicy but I would say the "spicy" is on the mild side. Still good and flavorful but not unapproachable for most ppl. We had the Campechana dessert and it was a little strange. It was basically a vanilla Icecream cake with a crispy waffle cone like layering that was really hard to break until it sat a while. It was oddly addicting but also not that good? I can't explain it. We went to the cigar lounge area after dinner and had Mexican espresso martinis and watched football before heading home. There was little smoke smell but very minimal until it got later. Around 8:30 (on a Saturday night) ppl started smoking cigars and they opened the side windows and being 90degrees right now - it became less enjoyable so we decided to end the night. In the fall that room would probably be quite lovely with the windows open. They have comfortable seating and fire pits. Really more of a 4.5 out of 5. Loved the decor near the restrooms and patio too.

I am now addicted to the salsa, and the chips are perfect. We now go regularly, so I've changed my previous review from 4 stars to 5 stars. Also, the staff are all wonderful. Prasham has become one of our favorites. My husband and I ate at LA Vista Cocina for the first time today. The restaurant was very clean with a nice atmosphere. The staff were friendly and very gracious in trying to make sure we had a good experience. We were served salsa and chips, and although we loved the warm salsa, the chips had a taste that neither of us cared for. I'm not sure if it was the oil or lard that they were fried in, but we both noticed it right away. We still ate them because the salsa was really yummy. Both of us ordered the house tacos. The menu has a lot of interesting entrees, but I was looking for a combination type platter so I could try a taco, enchilada, and tamale, but there wasn't anything like that on the menu. We were served generous portions, and the refried beans were very good. The rice was dry and bland, but it was okay after I poured a bunch of salsa on it. The taco shells were on the stale side, and although my husband noticed the same odd taste that was in the chips, I had poured quite a bit of salsa in each of mine, so I didn't notice. Overall, the restaurant and waitstaff were top notch, but unfortunately, we didn't feel the same about the food we had. Maybe we'll try ordering something different next time.
