La Mexicana Restaurant & Grocery — Restaurant in City of Schenectady

This is the second time we planned to go there this is the first time we made it there as the first time we got lost. And went to LA Flores. And I was dying for a melon drink but they don't have it, I'm hoping to have it in the summer. I got a seafood enchilada which had shrimp, avocado, sour cream, and tomatoes, lime to Spritz it , and it was yummy. I had the pork tacos with cilantro and they were awesome. They were so juicy and fatty. They were just awesome. I also had the steak taco which were okay, the steak was a little dried out. I think if I went back I would definitely get more pork tacos and I try some other things on the menu. The value is awesome ($2.00 taco), the service is nice and the restaurant is cute.

Like I’m sorry but who says that? My mom owns a deli and the first thing she told me was “keep the customers happy” ik just really upset cuz I like that store but that lady was extremely rude. Imagine you’re having a bad day and you go in there and they don’t give you good customer service how would you feel thru the whole day? From what I’ve learned a “hello how are you?” Could put a smile and change someone’s whole day!! Sorry I’m not going back to...

Tried again, nine months later. Now I'm just plain discouraged. El pastor is lumps of greasy, flavorless meat of some kind with not a speck of pineapple flavor (or much flavor at all) and definitely not shaved as el pastor is done traditionally. And the boatload of cheese on the quesadilla was repulsive. GOBS of tasteless white cheese only obliterates any quality there might have been... Why some reviewers call this food "authentic" is unclear. I really did want to like it. So convenient. Reasonable prices. But oh so disappointing. Oh well...

Just kinda fair... Not very flavorful or exciting food. Sort of tedious. I wanted to like it but was not thrilled. I keep trying their food because of the good reviews, but I remain...
