Taqueria y Fonda la Mexicana

DELICIOUS tamales!! Never gotten these from here before, will absolutely be ordering again (and again :

I feel terrible about leaving this review because I believe in supporting local businesses, especially small ones. But this food was not good. I have a cold and I knew some soup would hit the spot. My go-to is pho but i wanted something different. I ordered chilate and had high hopes. Side note: I googled chilate before I ordered it, so I knew what I should have been getting. The order consisted of a few hunks of subpar boiled chicken of questionable origin, and a lot of broth. Thats it. Though the chicken was gross, the broth was the wrst part. It tasted like someone had dumped a taco sauce packet into water and added some more MSG. I threw most of it out.

I was missing an item in my order. The tamale was dense, dry, and really not good. The filling for my tacos was supposed to be steak but it was pork. The salsa did not arrive with the chips. Overall, overpriced and not worth it. Especially with the items that were missing.

Best authentic Mexican food on the Upper West! Giant Burritos are a MUST. Birria is the most popular newest addition to the menu. They literally customize any dish the way you want! Amazing vegetarian vegan options!

My go to spot for good tacos... just wish they'd explore using mushrooms for the veggie tacos.. or marinade the broccoli more.
