La Unica Taqueria & Restaurant — Restaurant in Frisco

Today we went to La Unica after trying to go to Marianas Taco Shop (our first choice), which is like .5 miles away. Mariana’s didn’t have enough employees show up so she had to shut down early. She was super apologetic. I bring this up because we went to La Unica right after that and had the EXACT same problem but a COMPLETELY different experience. We first made sure that there wasn’t a ton of people in the restaurant. There were only about 10 other people so we sat down. We waited a full 5 minutes with the lady walking by us several times before we got up and asked if we had to come to the awkward, weird window to order or if she took our order. She had the rudest tone and her response was “I didn’t see you come in. Where are you?” I pointed to our table and she walked into the kitchen. I first thought it was a language barrier but she spoke PERFECT English. We waited a few more minutes and she finally came to our table. My friends placed their order and then I tried to order “Huevos Con Chorizo” because there was nothing on the menu saying that they stopped serving food at a certain time. She immediately gave me a face and started shaking her head and just said “Nope”. I asked why not and she said “I’m not going to make breakfast. There’s too many people in the restaurant. You want tamales?” I love tamales so I said sure. We waited about 10 minutes and realized that we should go ahead and pay for our meals so when they came out, we could just eat and leave. I went back up to the weird, awkward window where she was and said politely “Hey, can we go ahead and pay for our food now so when we get our food we can eat and go?” Her response was one of the rudest I have ever received, along with a huge sigh. She said “I’m way too busy to do this. You need to just pay as 1 group to make this faster.” My response was “We haven’t even gotten our food yet so don’t we have time to pay separately right now?” Again, rude tone “Fine. Which food did you order?” At this point, I was flabbergasted and shook my head and said “Geez, louise.” Her response to hearing me was “I’m very busy and can’t do things like this right now so that is why I’m saying that” to which my response was “I’m still the customer, right?” She just shook her head and grabbed my card from my hand. Then she said “Well, your food is going to take forever so if you’re in a hurry then you’re not getting your food anytime soon.” This was the best thing she could’ve said because it gave us a reason to leave. I snatched my card back from her and told her we would never be back. Keep in mind; apologies go a long way- as we never heard an apology from this woman for any of her extremely rude behavior. Thank you for giving us a reason to ALWAYS go to Mariana’s Taco Shop because she was extremely busy YET was able to be courteous AND apologetic. People get busy but it doesn’t mean you...

This is a cute, cozy, authentic Mexican restaurant that serves great food! Serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner (until 6:00pm). It's located in a neighborhood in "old Frisco." Though there aren't great views, or upscale pomp and circumstance, the food is great, the staff are very pleasant, and it's "hidden" location give it the feel of coming home to enjoy a good meal with friends. It is a small establishment with limited seating, but I promise - if you enjoy truly authentic Mexican dishes - you will love this place, not only for its food, but for it's homey atmosphere as well. It's not your typical chain restaurant. It's run by family. It's not going to be as clean at Chili's. But the staff is friendlier, and the prices are much better. Though the staff are bilingual, Spanish is their first language. If you have a hard time with thick accents, or immigrants, this place is not for you. I hope you enjoy "La Ùnica Taqueria and Restaurant" as much as my family and...

My parents were in town and looking for a local Mexican restaurant similar to what we experienced in south Texas, and I remember passing by this place in the past.

The establishment looks like it was a home converted to a restaurant, so definitely has a very intimate ambiance and was exactly what we were looking for. There’s a small dining area of about 6-7 tables, so not a lot of room but that was not a problem for us. We had to park across the street as there were only a few parking spaces, but again, wasn’t an issue for us.

Our server was attentive and the owner stopped at our table to chat and refill our coffee. She chatted with my parents about their home towns in Mexico.

Menudo, caldo de res, and guisado de puerco were all good. I would recommend this place if you’re looking for a small Mexican restaurant with homemade food. It reminded me of the restaurants you find down in the Rio...
