La Autentica Mexican Restaurant is a cozy gem on Central Ave! 🌮 The vibrant atmosphere is perfect for a casual meal with friends. I enjoyed their spicy salsa with warm chips, which had a delightful smoky kick. The highlight was the Pollo Crema - absolutely delicious!

Their $14 margarita pitchers are a steal, especially on a Saturday! 🍹 Though the service was a bit slow at times, I appreciated the friendly staff and the outdoor seating option. Definitely worth a visit, especially for those taco Tuesdays! Can’t wait to return!
