La Loncherita

Crazy how many authentic Mexican places there are in Harvard. It seems out of place for a small farming town for real. La Loncherita is another one of these. Actually it's more like a convenience store than a cafe. This has a dining area, so you can eat it here or take it wherever. About the most authentic Mexican food you can get around here, super authentic. It has the area to order food in the back. There's a dining area with a few tables. If a few people come in here it will be crowded. Very cramped and full of local Mexicans. Food menu is pretty limited. There's tacos. It's about $5 each. These are bigger than the fast food type of style. Have to say it's more like a convenience store than a restaurant to be honest. It's limited and it's pretty cramped inside. There's also lots of Mexican groceries and things.

Came here for lunch on a Saturday and it wasn't too busy. Decided to get street tacos and they were excellent. Got a al pastor, an asada and a chorizo; all three were just cilantro and onion. The al pastor was on the sweet side as it had pineapple in it: it was good but not my favorite (but my wife loved it). The asada was a bit dry but put some salsa on and it was just delicious; maybe my favorite taco there. The chorizo was on the spicy side, and I loved it. Overall, cost was good and the portions were large. We took our food down the street to Rush Creek Distillery and spent several hours. Even as I write this the combination was excellent (way better than pizza with top shelf spirits) and I can't wait to do it again.

Mexican grocery store in downtown Harvard. Walking distance to Harvard train station. Police Station next door. Walk all the way to the back of the store for their take out restaurant. Menu on the large chalkboard. Order your food at the window. Pay up front. Then return to the window when your food is ready. Kind of dumpy and dingy but great street tacos. We ordered two of each:Chorizo, steak, and ale pastor. The Al Pastor has pineapple and is very moist and flavorful. The steak was a bit dry but still good. The chorizo was a mess but spicy and filling. We brought our food to eat at the local distillery about a mile away.

Great food, friendly service ! A little heavy on the rice for my liking with burrito but otherwise it was great!

Just like what everyone said...this is that hole in the wall place. In the current COVID situation, masks are required. Walked to the back and order the food. Drinks are from the convenience store. We just got tacos. The tacos are on the larger size. Generally get it with onion and cilantro...but wife ordered it with everything. Comes with green and red sauce. The red is a bit on the spicy side but delicious. Great on the taco. Very filling. We ate outside in the car and watched a woman walked up to a closed store/restaurant. She was quite disappointed that it was closed. She shrugged and laughed. Think she was looking forward to some good Mexican.

Haven't been back to Harvard in a few decades. This place was recommended by my favorite teacher ever. She was always on target and this proves some things never change. Had the carne asada tacos, chips and guacamole and a jaritos soda. This is a little "hole in the wall" type place in the backside of a little bodega. You know what they say about places like this? They are either feast or famine. This one was outstanding. Everything was excellent. The homemade chips were just the icing on the cake. In the interest of full disclosure I know my way around street tacos. I've been in Mexico City twice recently and found it to be a hidden gem just like this place. Everything made me feel like I was back in CDMX, even the prices. Give it a shot. It's going to surprise you.

Delightful courteous service and flavorful authentic Mexican food. Normally, we eat the always delicious well seasoned tacos (care asada or polo being our favs), but recently my fiance and I decided to try the torta Cubana (Cuban sandwich). It was HUGE! Definitely, the crispy on outside soft and pillowy on the inside bread held at least two pounds of shredded pork and ham with just a thin layer of lettuce, tomatoes, onions and a mayo based garlic laced sauce. It was enough for two and maybe even a third person. Did I say it was HUGE? It had the height of a perfect "Dagwood" sandwich. All for $10.95. The many choices of fruit based Mexican branded bottles and cans are available, and as always we picked a new favorite Boing Mango.This continues to be a favorite of ours for service and flavor. We continue to leave happy.

Food is super authentic and fresh ingredients used. Had the chicken tacos dinner. Highly recommend.

Excellent tacos! Very large serving and so delicious! Will visit again! We ordered 3 carne asada, 1 chicken and al pastor! All were great.

Very good authentic food. Good fried chicken also. Fresh made order food Pesoli soup on Friday's
