This is not a place I plan to go back to. When they brought the food out, it was only warm. Their chile relleno was more like a bland, chewy omelet stacked on top of a poblano with a dollop of salsa over it. The mozzarella (what? Mozzarella in a chile relleno??) was tough and rubbery because it was not served hot. The steak in their enchiladas was awful. It tasted like fish. Perhaps the meat was a few too many days old-- I had to cut my night short because of stomach pains, and I?m writing this review between trips to the bathroom. To add insult to injury, the service was terrible. We had to ask to have our orders taken, and then we had to ask twice for our drinks. I ate at Rachel?s a few weeks ago (the restaurant that owns this one, not too far away), and while the service was no better there, the food was a lot better and it certainly didn?t get me this sick.

  • Pros: Some things are pretty cheap
  • Cons: It tasted terrible and got me sick

Half our chips were stale, guacamole was not fresh and had a soupy consistency, the Poblano Chicken Mole burrito did not taste like mole at all and the quality of the chicken was substandard. The Tacos D-F were authentic but lacking in flavor. And although they say they have speedy delivery it took over an hour to get our food and we only live two blocks away...

  • Pros: ?
  • Cons: not very flavorful, ingredients not fresh, slow delivery

This is a small restaurant, but the food is pretty good and not very pricey. Twice they brought my meat Raw ( I ordered well done), but in general it is worth a visit. This is not a real MEXICAN, it is more like a Tex-Mex kind of place.

PROS: Price

CONS:

La Taqueria has some of the best burritos I've ever had, and believe me I'm an expert. While I usually stick with the basic orginal burrito, there is large selection of different burritos. I recommend you pick up a burrito if you're chilling in Prospect Park on a nice day.

This place has the best tacos I have ever had. They have lots of vegetarian options and you can get 2 meals out of each taco (they are huge) It is super crowded on the weekends and not much place to sit. But perfect to bring home or find a spot somewhere outside.

Honestly there is nothing better to say about this place..then "OUTSTANDING". I am the kind of person that has to have mexican food everywhere I go. I have been going to 'Taqueria' for the past 4 years and I just cannot stay away. I eat their vegetarian burrito and its just simply the best I have ever had. Many ******** I give.

  • Pros: the burritos rock, awesome atmosphere, reasonable prices
  • Cons: , can get hot inside, very busy at times

I work in the neighborhood and almost everyday at least one person orders from LA Taqueria. Whoever said this was bland obviously hasn't tried a burrito with spinach and roasted peppers. The salsas are great, especially the mild one which has undertones of smoke and garlic. Plus, for about $5-7, I always go home with leftovers. They are also always consistent with special requests such as no dairy in burritos.

  • Pros: vegan friendly, inexpensive, fast service

I love the fresh ingredients, but why so bland? I've tasted many of the items on the menu, and all have been poorly seasoned. This is not was southern Cali Mexican is all about, there the food is always well seasoned (not necessarily hot, but always flavorful.) Chile Rellenos here are awful, they taste like a burnt pancake. But nothing beats the value of the Original California burrito, just use lots of extra salsa. And what's up with the ever-changing delivery policy?! 50% of the time the claim that they don't deliver to my address, but the other times they deliver no problem.

  • Pros: value, good ingredients
  • Cons: seasoning, delivery weirdness

Great food, always fresh, great prices, and a no-frills atmosphere very conducive to a hearty meal. (PS they are always cranking great tunes.)

  • Pros: Fresh food
