La Autentica: Reviews & Ratings
A big place that feels welcoming and cozy. Probably because the staff was so very friendly and attentive. Tamie to our bartender made the most perfect skinny Margaritas and the mgr checked on us throughout the evening making sure we we happy with her food recommendations. the chilie poblanos were perfect and the food came hot and well presented. The complementary chips and salsa were warm and the salsa was the right amount of well seasoned heat. The mgr had her daughters name on necklace so I didn't catch it but she and Ramiro made us feel at home and we can't wait to go back
This place is Amazing!!! The food was Great, The service was even better! The robot was cool to watch bringing out food for some tables!!! I believe this is my new favorite Mexican Restaurant! We went for lunch, but I will definitely be back for Dinner sometime soon!!!
The staff and service are off the charts, as well as the bar and atmosphere. As a pescatarian, I have been able to find several tasty dishes. And also have plenty of food to take home.
Some of the best salsa! I love how they give you both the hot and mild! Food was good. Great service at the bar and the robot is awesome!!
We were pleasantly surprised at the excellence of service and variety of food and drink options for our party of eight. The decor is fun and mostly tasteful. We will return.
Incredible food, fair pricing, and robots bring your food out. Yeah, I said what I said. Great atmosphere, not too loud, and it's really cozy, if you're picking up what I'm putting down. You won't be disappointed
Just left La Authentico what a beautiful place, our server Junior was on top of everything and checked in on us. We will be going back. Nachos were 10.75 and we were very full
We went here for the first time for my husband 's birthday. Our waitress was very sweet and prompt, but not overly so. The food was delicious. We will definitely come back again
We were so glad to see this beautiful building occupied once again. We arrived, and there was a 20 minute wait, so we headed to the bar for some delicious margaritas. We were offered chips and three salsas to enjoy while waiting. The bartender was great. Once seated, our server Eileen was awesome. We ordered and had a great dinner with plenty of leftovers. We enjoyed our visit and definitely will return. Our friend ordered the margarita flight. It looked amazing. I wish I had taken a photo. The restaurant was packed, and people seemed to enjoy the restaurant as much as we did.
