Mixicana food is one of the best Mexican restaurants I advise you to try the shrimp cassadia it's the fire ..
Great food at great prices!! The service was great and the food was served quickly. I recommend the chorizo breakfast burrito!!
Planned on lunching with a friend at a restaurant that was closed for a private event, and we ended up here. I was not feeling it as I had had Mexican the night before. Alas, friend wanted Mexican. I ended up ordering a carnitas quesadilla; I am partial to quesadillas. This was by far the best quesadilla I have ever had. The ingredients were so fresh and full of robust flavor. Unlike with most quesadillas, the cheese wasn't just there to drown everything out with its glorious comfort food crown, it somehow waltzed with the tasty carnitas and the other ingredients. Bravo!
Aside from the prices being reasonable, the food being delicious, and the wait time being small, I appreciate that I can easily make my meal vegan by specifying either grilled vegetables or tofu as the filling, and excluding the cheese. Awesome! Adding Mexicana to my short list. I will be back!
This is our go-to place for take-out: good food, fair prices, and kind folks working here. We have a range of food preferences/ restrictions that Mexicana is consistently good about accommodating. Our favorites: chicken quesadillas, each of the tacos, and the burritos with a side of guacamole. Sauces (and the guacamole) are mildly spicy, for those sensitive to spice. Definitely recommended. Check 'em out.
After moving our son into his dorm, we came here to get some food. The man and woman and young kid at the counter were all so nice! Truly kind, warm people. The food was delicious! My son said this will be his new home! lol. Meaning he will be there often to eat. The carnitas and pollo asado were flavorful. The chilaquiles were delicious and the egg cooked perfectly! But! the kindness of the people there will blow you away! Th ey make you feel like family and that goes a long way with me!! Gracias por la comida rica. Estoy segura que mi hijo regresaría pronto. :)
This was surprisingly reasonably priced Mexican food with a lovely outside seating area (the Epicurious Gardens). We all got burritos and guacamole, so I would like to return to try the torta and tacos to have a more rounded experience. The food was slightly under salted or spiced, but salsa fixes that. It was a great value, and I appreciate that they have a kids' menu.
