La Joya Reviews

3.5 - 122 reviews

Had dinner here last evening and was underwhelmed. Language barrier with the wait staff who did not understand the request for a glass of water to drink. Enchiladas and burritos had no cheese which was odd. If you are in this area I suggest you go to Taco Bell across the street.

This is a diamond in the rough. So glad we stopped to try it. My lunch special #3 was so good. And my daughter had #4. Hers was also really good. I've never seen her clear the plate so fast. The plate didn't have time to cool down. The waitress was amazing. I will definitely go back.

Authentic home cooking in a Mayan tradition. If you want Tex'Mex, you won't find it here, but this food reminds me of the local hangouts in the Yucatan and Guatemala. Key here is authentic - not fancy, just hearty and very flavorful.Dietary restrictions: If you ask nicely, the people here will, if it is possible, prepare your meal without any ingredients you specify.
