Everything was great! The food was so good and everyone enjoyed their meals. Prices were very reasonable and portions were generous. This place was busy when we came, but the service was still very prompt.

We decided to have lunch at La Mexicana due to the good reviews. The food and service were excellent - we will be back the next time we are in the area.

What a gem. Hands down the best authentic Mexican Restaurant. We were looking for a place to eat and we will definitely be back. Second to none. Top notch food.

We absolutely love this place!! Since the first time we ate here, it has been one of our favorites; we have returned many times (both take-out and dine-in). All the dishes are top quality and fresh. The atmosphere is fun, and the staff are always so friendly and happy. It also seems like a very authentic place as some signage and many patrons and staff speak Spanish. The Mexican grocery store attached to the restaurant is fun to explore as well! The fajitas burrito is a favorite. ❤️Dietary restrictions: They do a great job accommodating lactose free.

If you want authentic Mexican food in the Iowa City area, this is it! Anything you order, you will love. Delicious salsa, queso, tacos, asada de puerco, and churros. Excellent service as well.

Holy cow. The Quesobirria is amazing! Came back here for the second time and just astounded at how good these are. If you haven't tried one, you are sleeping on La Mexicana!

Outside of Dallas, this is the best Mexican food I've had. Stopped in on a whim this afternoon and I'm so glad we did. The tamales were incredible and the guacamole was so fresh. The service was fast and the restaurant was clean. You can tell that the owner really cares. Can't wait to come back!
