Wow. Am I glad we found La Mexicana Grocery. We are from the area originally - but live in Arizona now. We spend our summers in the Midwest. That said. We know Mexican food. We have a Taco Tuesday group and go out every Tuesday to different Mexican restaurants each week. Since we are here in the West Bend area - we decided to try La Mexicana (for the restaurant) not the grocery store - for Taco Tuesday. What a gem of a find! I have driven by this store many times and never realized there is a small cantina restaurant in the back. The owners are awesome and make some of the best burritos I have had to date. And that’s saying something. These burritos rival some of the best we get in Arizona. But right here in Wisconsin. This is a down to earth place. You walk through the grocery store to reach the restaurant in the back. Simple and delicious food served by people that make it with love. This is a small place and the owners do the work. No staff. Expect a wait if they are busy. But they are worth the wait. I think our burrito weighed nearly 1.5lbs! Big and delicious. We got the Carne Asada (which was great) and the pastor (with pineapple). Both loaded with ingredients. The green and red sauce are excellent. The red had a good level of spice. But it is hard not to continue eating it - even as you get that burning sensation - it is so good. The burn doesn’t hang around. It’s really good. You can dine in, but we did do “take out” as it was near closing time. The menu is small. Mostly tacos, burritos, tostada, enchiladas, tortas and a chimichanga. A huge selection of ingredients to try in any of these items including lingua, chorizo, and 16 more… We will go back. Repeatedly! Now that we know it’s here. The grocery is worth a browse while you are waiting for your fresh made order to be done. Mostly Mexican fair and some bakery and meat options. Even take home Tamala’s. Check it out. I hope your experience is as good as ours. If you need a high class atmosphere. Don’t go here. You will simply be disappointed and that is not what this place is about. It is more or a diners, drive ins and dives type destination. This is worth a a few more returns to try other menu items. But the burrito was winner-winner. We’ll be back!
