La Unica Express — Restaurant in Lufkin

I didn't care much for anything. I had chicken fajitas, tamales, ranch steak burritos , and regular crunchy and soft tacos, and chips & salsa. I took a bite- 2 bites out of EVERYTHING, because Im a Secret Shopper, and was NOT IMPRESSED. Everything just tasted so bland. And also was old. The salsa had NO vegetables in it. It wasn't thick at all, just runny. It was spicy though. The chips were old and VERY OILY. The BEST Mexican restaurant I and my husband went to while in Texas was, Casa O'Le. We were traveling from Kentucky to Lufkin and also Longview Texas for Thanksgiving holiday. We stayed 4 days. Casa O'Le was THE BEST RESTAURANT we went to while in Texas! Thats compared to, Whataburger, La Unica and, Chicken Express, King Fish.

At Casa O'Le I ordered Chicken& Shrimp & Beef/steak fajitas, my husband ordered Steak Quesadillas. And the food was BEYOND AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS!!. AND CHEAPER than La Unica Express. It also took us ONLY 10 MINS to get our food from Casa O' Le and at La Unica it took close to 30 mins to get our order. And paid $40 , which was...

I have always liked la Unicas food. Went there today at the la Unica express and what a disappointment. There was a huge line up right up to the street on the drive thru,so I decided to go in maybe faster? I put in my order,and waited,3 guys come in put their order in and left before me,meanwhile the drive thru cars are gone. I get my food and asked for extra red sauce,OMG,it was water with a pinch of red pepper I guess,it was just watery with no flavor. They can keep their crappy food and crappy customer service because I’m not going back there.

I’m changing my review after Speaking to Marta the owner of la unica express and she was so nice and told me she’s going to check out what’s going on. I hope she does,than...

With a touch of the grill along every side of the burrito, La Unica embodies "delicious guilt." The beans possess a more layered and richer flavor than found in typical places, which sets the theme for the rest of the menu: flavor. Nowhere seen is the bland, grey soup. The pico doesn't skimp on the cilantro. Just a touch more here or there and La Unica could approach a more "haute" flavor, but it is not and should not. Embrace and enjoy it as it is, a comfortable TexMex with enough authenticity for flavor and bite, sealed with a grill. If you're on a diet, go ahead and enjoy a soda with your quesadilla.
