Owner Robert Valencia has replicated the ethos of the big-city Mexican taco stand. Red and green chili stew is big here. The best tacos include pastor, carne asada and lengua (Spanish for tongue). It is also a good idea to come whenever gorditas, stuffed corn shells, are on for specials.

This place is a joke. My wife and I went to this place on a recommendation from a desk clerk at the Bellagio while in Vegas for vacation.The owner has taken the cheap way of operating his establishment. First, he has no staff to take your order. You order at the desk and then wait. I asked for two coffees and I was told by the owner (Robert) that he had no coffee. WTF? I ordered Huevos Rancheros (Ranch Styled Eggs) Traditionally, as in in my home town of San Antonio, Texas, this plate is served with pan fried potatoes, beans, freshly made hot sauce, eggs (scrambled or sunny side up), and tortillas (flour or corn). I asked the owner Robert that I would like the two orders of eggs scrambled. He looked confused and had to specify to his cooks how to prepare the dish. After waiting for about twenty four minutes and looking at the various pictures of boxers that have dined in this hole in the wall, I was summoned to the cashier desk to get my two orders. The eggs looked overcooked with a small scoop of beans, Spanish rice, a half dozen of corn tortillas, no salsa or sauce, and this was served on styrofoam plates. Who in the h*ll eats Spanish rice for breakfast? The extra taco I ordered came on a styrofoam plate and this taco could not have been no more than 4 inches in diameter all the way around. I am not kidding. I can't see what these so called famous guests saw in this hole in the wall. I may sound like a homer but if you really want good Mexican food you must travel to San Antonio, Texas. The best bar none. Yes, I have a learned a valuable lesson. Don't eat Mexican food at these little mom and pop locations in Vegas.

This guy from San Antonio is a "Tex-Mex" kind of guy. When i first had a taco at La Mexicana when i was in need of a taco fix, They were just like the ones i had when i would cut school and go to Tijuna Mexico. They are bitch`n. If you love Taco trucks or just love the soul of Mexican food. Eat the tacos here. Can`t wait to go back..Taco Police.

This tiny, informal restaurant serves street tacos. You order at the counter and are called your food is ready. There is a small area with a few different salsas. We ordered 3 pastors and 1 pollo. Though the tortillas are on the small size, they are delicious, filled to overflowing and priced right. 3.5 Forks out of a possible 5
