Great enchiladas!! Really all the food is good. You order at the counter when you come in so I think it's faster than other sit down restaurants. The fruity drinks they make are great. Price per person $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
Great place to eat! The Quesabirria tacos are to die for, and their fruit drinks are so good! The owner is super nice and way friendly every time we are there. I have seen a review or 2 that say that if you pay with card that you have to add gratuity. You don’t. There is an option add nothing, some people just don’t take the time to look over what is right in front of them. Again great food, good service!

Love going here! The owner has taken my order a couple times and is very enthusiastic. Ive had the carné asada and tortas and both were amazing. I love the fruit drinks/horchata in the mason jars, but I do think they are a little overpriced. They’re around $6 I believe.

I Love La Unica. BUT DO NOT Order Through door dash. We waited in the drive thru line for over a half hour and couldn't get out. Because we were blocked by other cars. Only to be told by the owner when we went in because nobody ever came to the window. that it had to be picked up inside because they didn't receive the tip from door dash. By the time we got our food it was cold. I plan on continuing to eat at LaUnica if I'm eating at the restaurant. I will not get takeout there again or drive thru, or door dash. I will not be paying a tip inside ever. At partial service sit down restaurant the service should be included with the price of the meal. It's not fine dining just good food unless it's cold.

We've heard nothing but rave reviews from all of our friends about this place, so we decided to go 1/5/24. We get there and there's no parking at all. We thought this was a good sign, as the place was packed. Long line, and kinda am odd way to order, standing in a long line in a sit down joint. We finally order, an enchilada platter, carne asada fries, chips and salsa, queso and guacamole, a cucumber and lime drink and a Coke. All this came out to $59, which I thought was a little steep for 2 people, until they hit me with automatic gratuity. If you're paying with a card, you cannot opt out of a tip. Which is crazy to me, because how do you tip for food and service before you have received it? With the 18% gratuity added, the total was now $71. For 2 people!! So, we proceed to go find a place to sit. The only table available at the time, was a larger booth, which was filthy on top and under. We wiped off the table and sat and placed our number out and waited. After about 5 minutes, we got our chips and salsa and queso and guacamole. A few later, a waitress comes by and asked how we liked everything. Told her so far, so good and she replied great, and took our number and said enjoy your meal!! Wait, what? We had no food!! My wife had to chase her down and get our number back to get our order. So we munched on our chips and wait. And wait....oh yeah, and wait some more. I get it's a Friday night and busy, but 20 minutes has passed and no one has even stopped to see if we needed refills of anything. We flagged down another waitress and asked for refills of chips and drinks. Finally, a few minutes later, my meal arrives. Just mine, not my wife's. And it looked straight out of a can. No filling to the enchiladas at all. Beans had no flavor. Rice, eh. We had to stop the waitress and ask for my wife's meal. She comes back and explains that they forgot it. The meat had absolutely no flavor at all, and fries were cold and stale. We decided to leave at this point. We could've gone to El Toro Viejo and gotten a way better meal for less money. This was a terrible first impression and sad to say, despite all the great reviews, we won't be going back. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $30–50 Food: 2 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 4

The food is good but they do not understand customer service. They made our order wrong and when we found out and called them to see if they could remake the order, the girl kept repeating how she was right, but they would remake them if we brought them back. We brought the burritos back like she asked us to, and then in front of other customers, she started to argue with me and kept going on about how she couldn't have been wrong. I had to remind her that she had asked me to bring the burritos back and that they would remake them. Service Take out Meal type Breakfast Price per person $1–10 Food: 4 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 3

It took a while to get my food but the wait was well worth it!! The food is always so good and I am obsessed with the California burrito, horchata, and their rice and beans!! I will definitely be coming back to try something new! Service Take out Meal type Lunch Price per person $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Green Sauce
