La Mexicana Restaurant & Grocery

Authentic Mexican food with other south American influences. The atmosphere is basic, but food is delicious with good value for the portion sizes. The guacamole is very tasty. The menu is not huge, but there are some original dishes and variations. Definitely try the tacos, carnitas or Al pastor. The flaun is a delicious dessert to end the meal. Parking is tight, but there is more around back. There were many Spanish and Mexican people eating there when we were so it speaks to thr native flavors they offer. Don't forget to drop by the store for some different foods you can't find elsewhere.

Authentic delicious Mexican restaurant with grocery store next door. We had the chicken tacos 🌮 served with fresh cilantro, radishes and lime juice. We also shared a fresh guava juice. Gluten free options as the tortillas were 🌽 corn.

Good food healthy food 🥗 they have Mexican grocery stores as well

Wonderful little restaurant. Service was fast and friendly. The food...the best we've had outside of Mexico! Very family friendly. When finished eating, check out the attached Mexican Grocery (fyi...they sell elotes in the grocery. We did not see it on the restaurant menu.) Highly recommended!

I love this place because it's a restaurant, a bar, and a grocery store! The grocery is organized and you can get lots of items. The restaurant & bar has a vibrant atmosphere due to the colors everywhere. The food is great too!

Authentic Mexican food. Been here twice and had the steak tacos both times. Hot chips and fresh salsa start you off. Cold drinks to be had. The tacos are superb. And the price is amazing. Two dollars for a taco. They offer two sauces for your food and one is spicy hot but not overpowering. This is a "Hole-in-the wall" food joint in the best sense of that phrase. It''s an area original. You can bet I'll be back.
UPDATE- Second time was even better. Tried the chicken and pulled pork tacos along with the steak this time and WOW, this place is truly the best Mexican food around.

The chicken tacos were delicious, and the beef soup was fantastic! I am going back for more very soon.

Party of four. Great staff and dinner. I got a chicken burrito but forgot to get a pic, it was very good :-)

The food here is amazing, very authentic and very reasonably priced ..and then there is the grocery store as well where you can get all your own ingredients and try and make your own authentic food ..and never come close to what you can just buy here

Amazing authentic Mexican food! They have a great variety on their menu with reasonable prices. Imported sodas and Mexican beer. Clean environment and friendly staff. There is also a store front with imported candies, food, peppers, etc.

Best chicken burrito ever!! The warm chips and homemade salsa as well as the tacos were delicious too.

Awesome place with the most authentic Mexican food I've had ever. They have a supermarket with tajin/chamoy(I don't know how to use it properly)and everything else to cook authentic if you want. Full bar too if you like. Good parking too.

We love being able to get Mexican and Peruvian food so close!!! They even make masa for tamales!!

Gracias!!!

Best food ever!
I'll be eating here at least once a week.

Best Mexican food we’ve tasted since bing in upstate!!

Authentic Mexican food that has good prices and a fair variety. I definitely recommend the chorizo tacos or bistec tostadas. Must visit!

Authentic Mexican food some of the best in the area and they also have a grocery store connected which cells amazing produce and assortment of Mexican food and candy the people there are very nice and hard-working

This is real mexican food, I'm not sugar coating anything I am from California and I will tell you this is just as good or even better then most places out there. My top pick for upstate NY. I will be back again and then again some more.

Food was amazing! Very reasonably priced as well! One of the best kept secrets in the Capital District. If you are looking for authentic Mexican food, you will be very pleased! Enjoy

We just happened to drive by and decided to stop in. So glad we did! Tacos were perfect! Definitely authentic! Well worth the stop!
