Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

I went here tonight for the first time. I ordered 3 steak tacos with everything and a pork tamale (they also have chicken mole tamales). It took about 5 minutes to get my food to go, which was awesome cause it was a spontaneous on the way to work decision, so I'm glad it was fast. Having read some of the past reviews I was afraid that I would have been there way long and been late to work. I was still late but it was cause of the stupid train not because of La Mina. The tacos were good. They tasted authentic and they were made with El Milagro type corn tortillas which I prefer and was actually really surprised to see. Usually places use tortillas that are more like Guerrero, or Mission white corn tortillas. So that was awesome. The tamale could have had more filling. It was 97% masa, one chunk of meat and a smaller chunk and a spoon of sauce. It was still good. It's not the most aesthetically pleasing place but it felt very authentic and genuine. I would go again.

Loved this place until the other day.. WARNING.... already they take a long time to make a taco but it's worth the wait, we went on Sunday and yes it was busy and yes we forgot it was cinco de mayo but I ordered 2 chicken tinga tostadas and bf ordered 2 steak tacos, mine took 20 minutes- they were luke warm- and we waited another 5 for his when another gentleman walked in and ordered the same thing... they gave him our order is my guess! But their resolution was we will take it off your bill!! WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What was he suppose to eat! We are never returning- that was terrible service and 3 tacos should not take that long at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We paid for what we got and left!!!!

Went back for carryout and ordered a Cubana torta but found a steak torta in my bag when I got home as they might of accidentally heard me talking about steak to a buddy of mine right after giving my order. I was pleased with my decision to not go back to get my intended Cubana torta. The torta was perfectly portioned as you tasted every ingredient with each bite. The lettuce were long thin shoe-string shaped and didn't overshadow the taste of the steak, which is the case from other places that I've gotten tortas from. Plenty of diced steak with some guacamole and a sour cream/mayo spread on top. This mishaps was somewhat of a blessing in disguise.

Yum!!!!!!! Some of the best Mexican food I've ever had!!! The tamales are excellent.

Nothing special. Most of the tables were dirty and full of dishes so we had to take wherever we could find to sit and it set a bad ambiance. The carne asada steak was dry and rice and beans were bland. The enchilada was good, though. Will I be back? No
