We had a great dinner on the back patio on a Saturday night. This felt like the “hole in the wall” type of place and we really enjoyed it. The Pollo Crema was the best dish that we had at our table. $14 margarita pitchers. We will be back!

OK, so I’m going to be honest. I walk by La Authenica every day on Central. Looks like it’s closed, but I ended up going to The Refuge for a drink and found out that its not only open, but it’s a happening place. There were 1 million people back there. They had an amazing indoor and outdoor space. The staff are amazing and incredible. My friend and I sat at the bar and Eli the bartender took such amazing care of us. They’ve these beautiful amazing, huge margaritas. Apparently on Tuesday they have two dollar tacos. I am definitely, positively going back here!!!!

Food was Mexican, which is always good unless frozen. It felt like a Mexican restaurant that would be in Mexico except a little cleaner. The service was on the slower side. I think it took about 35 minutes to get our food, and the restaurant only had a few tables seated. Friends that were there an hour earlier said it was much faster for them though

Local vibes, authentic tacos and budget food. It can be your go-to Taco Tuesday place. Green sauce with chips and chorizo tacos are my favorite.

The burrito I ordered was quite tasty. Would have preferred more guac & sour cream. A little less lettuce maybe a slice more of tomato.

The drinks and chip and salsa are great! The only problem were the tacos. I order three Al pastor tacos and they had no flavor whatsoever and there was no onion or jalapeno that came with it on the side. The queso dip also had no flavor it was just bland cheese. Also the food took awhile to come out, the server even told us it was going to take a bit.

Nice family atmosphere and delicious food. The attention is excellent, Antonio, Stephenie and all the staff are very professional, which makes La Auténtica an excellent restaurant. My wife and I really enjoy the quality and service we always come back

The food here is the best! Friendly, courteous wait staff, and comfortable surroundings. No wonder it’s one of our son’s favorite local restaurants.

Super fun place to go for taco Tuesday if you don’t mind waiting a few minutes. The tacos are good if you pick the right ones. The crunchy pork and the beef tongue are absolutely delicious along side the house margarita.
