La Mexicana

Delicioso! We came here with family after visiting a relative in Winter Haven. We were having a very heavy day and wanted some margaritas and beers and some delicious Mexican food and this is exactly what we got. Our waitress was so attentive and friendly. She was very quick and checked on us often. Most of us got tacos and we ate every last bite. My only dislike was the queso it didn't seem like real cheese but maybe it was just not for me. I am glad I found this place I know there are several locations throughout Florida.

This is one of the nicer Mexican restaurants in HC and the prices reflect that. I ordered guacamole to accompany the free chips and salsa and it was fresh and delicious. The chips also tasted fresh out of the frier, the salsa however was quite plain so I'm glad I got the guacamole. For my entree I had a combo plate with beef quesadilla and chicken tamale. The meat in both were exceptionally seasoned. Also the 2 hot sauces were house made, the green was just okay but the red one had a deep smoky chili flavor that I truly enjoyed. They offer Spanish and English menus and the service was excellent. The atmosphere was a bit plain but definitely clean.

I ordered a chicken chimichanga, an elote appetizer and a steak torta. We had to wait a little longer than usual for the food to be served but I believe that's because there was a huge family there this time. When the food came me and my boyfriend noticed that his chimichanga had steak instead of chicken inside of it. Strange because he clearly said chicken but it was delicious so he had no complaints. The elote and the torta were AMAZING! I would definitely go there again for those two things. Loved the environment and the workers were nice. Oh and I forgot to mention that there was a strange homeless man that came in and started walking around the restaurant. Me and the family were getting pretty nervous because of him but the manager was soon called and he dealt with him outside. Other than that and the extra waiting time everything was perfect. Delicious food and cozy restaurant.

Recently moved to the area and are always on the lookout for good food. Well, we definitely found one in La Mexicana. Indoor outdoor seating or takeaway available. We chose inside which was stark with decorations but music played and TV screens were visible from any angle. Greeted and seated right away even though the place was very busy. Chips and salsa (side of quac) while we looked over the menu. There were so many choices, yet we went for some of our favorites, chicken/steak fajitas and chicken enchiladas, both came with rice, beans and salad. Beer or Margaritas to libate or many more non alcoholic choices available. Our server was friendly and attentive. The food arrived hot, delicious and plentiful. We took a menu for future visits. Enjoy!

Tacos de suaderos are really good, my personal favorite but would like less fatty skin and more meat. Overall delicious food and service.

The food is delicious--I'd have included a pic but we couldn't wait to dig in. lol The guacamole is a fave, as are the enchiladas and tamales. Plus the staff are friendly and helpful. This is our go-to place for nearby Mexican food now. Happy to support a neighborhood business. Maybe one day we'll even have room for ice cream at their shop next door! Looks so good, and the ice cream is made there.

The foods are so delicious ! The ambiance is excellent and so clean. The service treats us so well. I would love to come back that restaurant again in the future.

Delicious filing lunch. Good food, service clean festive restaurant Reasonable priced.beans, rice, shrimp chalupa's. Fresh salsa, chips. They have beautiful patio seating.

Haven't been here in over a year and was in the area. Very disappointed. The portions were half the size of what they used to be and the prices are what they charge in Orlando.

The food was good, but my Diet Coke had a piece of napkin floating with the ice when I received it. (Picture below) Then I watched one of the waiters drop the wash cloth to wash the table on the floor, pick it up, wipe the seat, then wipe the table again, while reusing the same wash cloth and red water bucket for every table, especially after dropping it on the floor. I'm really disappointed.
