La Mexicana — Restaurant in Racine

🌮La Mexicana is one of my favorite taco spots in Racine!

I’ve been coming to this place for a few years now and it never disappoints.

Tucked in the back of the store is a small restaurant with a full menu and let me tell you… their tacos are everything.

They are always fresh, full of flavor and served with grilled onions and a roasted pepper on the side which I love.

Honestly, they are definitely top three when it comes to tacos in Racine.

What makes the spot even more special is how much more it offers beyond the restaurant.

They are actually a small grocery/corner store as well. In addition to having a small restaurant in the back they are also a little paleteria (ice cream shop) so you can grab a refreshing popsicle or ice cream (perfect after a taco) and if you’re in the mood for street corn they have those too (also one of the best in Racine).

Whether I’m swinging by for a quick taco or elote fix or picking up a mangonada from their little paleteria window… I always leave happy.

Friendly service, great food, and the authentic welcoming vibe keeps me coming back....

La Mexicana has delicious authentic Mexican food. It's one of my fav spots to grab something to eat really quick. Yesterday, I was disappointed though. I brought the camarrones de diabla bc I wanted something different & it was nasty. The sauce tasted like they mixed ketchup with hot sauce & poured it over the shrimp. I tasted & seen no onions or arbol chiles at all. I ended up throwing the meal away. I don't know if they were rushing bc they had alot of orders....but overall, the food is yummy! Just don't get the camarrones. I will still eat there just beware...

I have been looking for this place since the first time I had it, three years ago. Needless to say, I was super excited to have found it. Well I wish I didn't. I was beyond upset when I opened up my tacos. They were everywhere in the box, it looked like a salad with shells. I thought no big deal, I can just make them myself. So I did. Now the meat was super dry. The only good thing was the corn. I do not suggest this place. It wasn't worth the money. Spend money on the corn, corn was delicious. Service was okay. Overall. I do...
