| - Interestingly, I lived in Tallmadge for 2 years and never went here but as I was moving, finally went when I needed to refuel. La Mexicana is different from other Mexican restaurants, and I frequent them so I'd know.
First of all, the menu is much larger and has more to choose from. The drink selection was better too. I about flipped when they had mojitos because I like those more than margs and most basic Mexican restaurants don't have them. I got one and my husband got a jumbo marg since we normally split a half pitcher (note: I didn't see a half pitcher option on the menu here, just full.)
Next, we got queso which is a given. It came in a larger crock than normal and was priced a bit higher, but worth it I think. I then ordered fish tacos and wow. They were as authentic as seafood can get for the middle of Ohio. There were 3 and they were large, topped with a light cabbage slaw. They came with a cup of some fresh pico and a spicy orange cream sauce that was delicious. I want to say it was sour cream and some hot sauce, maybe some mayo? Who knows, but the perfect cool topping for the tacos. The Mexican rice that came with it was different too. It had corn and beans mixed in, which I loved. I took one taco and half of my rice to go and scarfed it the next day for lunch.
Service was good and so was the atmosphere. It looks like they have live music a lot. Luckily I only moved a town away, I'll be back! There's a lot more I want to try on the menu that typical Mexican restaurants don't offer.
