We have been here so many times and it has consistently been a treasured jewel in our go-to places for authentic, handmade TexMex. I always say going to family run restaurants is like going to a friends mother’s kitchen. It may not taste exactly like the chain restaurants, but it’s that difference that makes the difference. Margaritas are delicious and strong without the chemical flavoring of some places. Their beef fajita nachos are the best in town (you can fight me on that. lol). Shrimp chipotle enchiladas are perfect every time (the shrimp has never ever been overcooked). Also, the chicken chipotle enchiladas are exceptional. My sister told me last time to never let her order anything else but the chili relleno anytime we take her there. She loved it so much. Fajitas are sizzling and flavorful and they give you a lot! Salsa is fresh and hot and good. I think the queso is very good, but that’s the only thing that I think is too expensive, (lol, go figure) so we don’t order it that often. That being said, they don’t “nickel and dime” you to death if you want a little extra sauce, or some extra jelapeno’s etc., they just bring it. If you like extra spicy salsa, ask them for the green sauce. It’s really good. If you want fresh from a family run restaurant, you can’t lose with this place. It’s a real gem!

I avoid the usual places for breakfast because there is always a wait. Not here and they serve great breakfast. They made the eggs how I wanted and their pancakes are huge. The breakfast tacos are also on point!

La Familia is an excellent small Mexican restaurant located along William Cannon Rd that provides good lunch options for people working nearby. I like their lunch menu that offers enchiladas or taco plates with iced tea included for under $8. From time to time, I would try their Plato Combinado that consists of choice of any two items from: Seasoned beef, chicken, barbacoa, al pastor, milanesa or bistek. The plate comes with rice, choice of beans andavocadosalad. The portion size is generous and has a great taste. I would definitely recommend it.

La Familia is right around the corner from me, and it took this long to find it? I sure wish I would have found it when they opened. Like everywhere else, prices have gone up now, but everything they make is wonderful.

Food is excellent, much better than Chuy’s I think. I loved my vegetarian enchiladas.

Came here once because it is pretty close and seemed to be rated pretty well on Google. I’m not sure exactly why though, sadly. It may have been literally *the worst* Mexican food I’ve eaten. At the very least the most disappointing. Potentially one of the most disappointing food experiences…ever, in general. Paid for the mushroom enchiladas (topped with cheese and tomatillo salsa) and…no joke, there was a small line of single mushrooms inside the enchiladas, nothing else inside- no cheese. On top there was barely any cheese. A couple months later I was doordashing and got a pickup from there. When I was inside, a fellow was really mad about the same thing I experienced. Barely anything in his food. The employee was telling him off and making him feel like he was crazy. I will never come here again. I really wanted a good meal. $17 for nothing. The beans were so-so. Not sure who can put together an enchilada, look at it, and think that that is a good meal to serve someone. I’ve worked in kitchens half of my life and would never send something that looked like that out. I’d feel too bad about it. I ate it all because I at least wanted to get SOMETHING out of it. And didn’t say anything to the waitress because I didn’t want to have to go through all that. Still tipped normally and left. I decided to take a photo near the end. Not the best photo but… this is how the entire enchilada was on the inside. One skinny row of small, flat mushrooms only. Folded in a corn tortilla. I left hungry, less money, disappointed and baffled at how they could serve someone that.

Their barbacoa mini street tacos are my go to order. Consistently delicious and the small side of beans on the side is what puts these above other tacos in the area in my opinion. A perfect meal.

The restaurant was clean and the waitress very kind. The food I ordered was freshly made and the best tacos I’ve had. They were filled and delicious. The flavor was like food made at home by our moms. I definitely will go again.

The barbacoa is horrible! But, that is not the problem. $9.00 for a little side guacamole. Price gouging much??? Be careful with this place! I will be reporting this as well. And of course….”the manager is not here”
