La Mexicana Restaurant is a Montrose tradition. What started out as "the little grocery store" in the 1950's, has changed hands and evolved into a family owned and operated Mexican restaurant since …
I tried the menudo, horchata, and barbacoa taco, and everything was delicious! The menudo was flavorful and comforting, the horchata was refreshing, and the barbacoa was tender and tasty.
My only complaints are with the ordering experience and the toppings. On DoorDash, it wasn’t very clear that each taco is ordered individually. At $6.66 per taco, I was expecting more, so that was a bit disappointing. I also wish they had been more generous with the cilantro and onions for both the barbacoa taco and the menudo, it felt a little skimpy.
Overall, the food was excellent, and I’d definitely order again. I just hope they make the DoorDash menu clearer and include a bit more of the fresh toppings.

This was my 1st time eating from this restaurant. So freaking good! The Beef Fajita Quesadilla Plate (3) was well seasoned. Flour tortillas were soft. I would recommend! I loved the Churros, they are best when hot! Make sure you eat with the chocolate sauce. And the Crispy Taco was delicious, I should have gotten two!

My always faithful, reliable, and delicious restaurant for the last 30+ years. My favorite meat is the carnitas, and the pico de gallo is hand chopped and delightfully fresh.
