Review by D'angelo Schuster

La Mexicana feels like a warm hug from home! 🌮 The chile colorado is hands down the best I’ve ever tasted - it's like they read my mind every time I order! I've been back multiple times this month; the enchiladas and the thick, handmade corn tortillas are absolute must-tries. Plus, Emma, the owner, brings such heart into the service. This cozy spot has been around for 45 years, and it's easy to see why. If you're craving authentic Mexican comfort food, look no further...!
