Ordered take out. Had to wait a bit after I was told ready in 10 minutes. Chicken fajitas were mostly onions and peppers. Not much Chicken at all, especially for the price. Also ordered tacos which were ok ,nothing special. Definitely overpriced for the quality. Staff was friendly.

Went here for lunch and the waitresses spent 15 minutes deciding who wanted to take my ordered. Then when I expressed my complaint they had something to say.

Food was meh. Not very flavorful. Had two "spicy" dishes that had little to no spice.

Very disappointed. I ordered for pickup at 5:15 , then I was notified that order was ready at 4:48. No lettuces, tomato, sour cream included with Texas fajitas. Requested a substitute of Guacamole Salad for rice (an online menu item option) but didn’t get it. Refried beans were cold. I had a similar bad experience 2 weeks after they first open and excused it to newly open issues. But bad order issues seems to be the norm. I’ll go back to La Unica. I have never had a bad experience with La Unica.

This is a hidden gem. The food was amazing. It was a great experience. Some of the best mexican food i had in a long time. Everything was seasoned perfectly. I had fajitas taxanas. Big portions, plenty of steak, chicken and shrimp. The veggies were cooked to perfection. I also really enjoyed their salsa. The atomphere was cute, with hanging plants to look like you were outside on a veranda. The stample was pleasant, made accomdations as needed. Just a pleasant disposition. Then the robot server came out playing a cute little song. A great experience all around. I will be going back soon.Parking: Plenty of parking is available lm

One of our regular spots. The service and food are very good. For special occasions they sometimes have DJ's or live singers as well.The menu has a wide variety of Mexican favorites. One of the few places that still serves a mild and spicy salsa with their chips. I especially enjoy the birria dishes. Good mixed drink menu with seasonal options there, as well.

I ordered take out - I arrived to pick up, gave the name for the order, they were insisting they never got my order! I had to show receipt so they can say: oh yes, we have it, just a couple of minutes. Waited 25 min there to finally get my food. First and last time I ordered here.

Food was good and the proper portion size. However the atmosphere of this Mexican restaurant is strange, it is overly modern and they have a food delivery robot that seems totally unnecessary for a Mexican restaurant. The waiting staff repeatedly have to step aside for this robot to make its way back and forth from the kitchen, doesn’t seem conducive to a dining experience. The prices were on par with what you would expect and the portion sizes were fine with the free chips and salsa you receive. I will return to this restaurant, it’s a good option.

If you are looking for authentic Mexican this is not it. This is Tex-Mex at best but the food was just bad. Maybe it’s what we ordered but the rice was cold and the chicken on the sopes was bland and tasteless. Additionally, our order came wrong! Nice people, chill atmosphere but be warned if you like good food in general don’t go here.

Service was great and very friendly. The food had many selections to choose from and the tacos were amazing. There was a big dessert menu all with great choices. This is a must go to restaurant and is easily my favorite restaurant.

So happy we finally have a fantastic restaurant in our area that’s close by! The food is great and the service is as well! Very friendly and accommodating too! The restaurant itself is not very large so if your group is over 9 or more people it’s advised to call ahead and make sure they can accommodate or go early around dinner time. We love this place and the drinks are top notch!!!
