We stop and ate dinner here while visiting Sauk. We sat at outside patio, the ambience was awesome! Lily our server was the best, very attentive and GREAT customer service. Made us feel welcome and valued. Tacos & margaritas were awesome! No wait time, food and drinks came out quick. Thank you Lily!! 💯🤩

The food was good, however, I thought that if they added twice as much refried beans, rice, lettuce, and tomatoes on the side, that it would’ve been much better. I would’ve been willing to pay extra for that. Overall, it was a good experience.

People said this is the best Mexican place so we tried it. For sure not good. Got in, went to wash our hands.. couldn’t even do that, as they had no soap in the bathrooms. Margarita was in a plastic cup, which isn’t a huge deal, just odd. Server was super nice, and food came quick. Just isn’t the BEST like others have said.

Positives- My burrito (pork) was good. Actually better than the previous few I've had at other places. Seasoned well and huge. The server gave us some good hot sauce. Chips and salsa were good.
Other- My wife did not care for the chimichanga, which she orders at every other place. Kids didn't like the quesadilla. It was too greasy (agreed).
CLEAN YOUR FRONT DOOR. And the booths and probably everything else in there that people touch. And why only have Pepsi, considering it is in a can??? You don't have a distributor that only gets you a certain brand. Just get a case of coke.. Maybe a glass with ice along with it too.?
Ok. The burrito was damn good.

Mexican restaurants are literally in every town. Right up there with the fast food chains except with great food. This one was so good to me. I love GREAT flautas that won't rip your mouth when you bite down on them.
Let me set this up. Audio-they were playing great Mexican music to really put you in the mood to chew and enjoy. Our first time here, and I really wish they were closer. Great people. Outstanding food.

Listen , this place is the real deal. I've lived in Wisconsin for 18yrs and the one thing missing is authentic good Mexican food. I've lived in TX and Chicago Illinois and this food ranks high on my list. Don't fall for the touristy places where the building itself is much better but for me the so called hole in the wall places have the best food. This place won't let you your tummy down.

Have been coming here over 10 yrs now.
Since I'm from out of town, don't get a chance to taste this excellent cuisine with any regularity.
Today I had the chicken and cheese quesadillas, with lettuce & tomato on the side.
Also a taco with ground beef, and a tostada with chorizo - Mexican sausage. The tostada was piled high with lettuce, tomato, and sour cream.
Served with Salsa Verde and red taco sauce on the side, and a Pepsi.
Everything was prepped to perfection & absolutely delicious. All fresh ingredients as I've known for many years now.
Try their corn tamales if you can, very fresh and made with chicken, beef, or chorizo.
The decor is very much an expression of Mexican national spirit, with beverages you'd expect (Modelo beer). I posted pix of the paintings by artists- hecho en Mexico. All the colors are rich and vaguely reminiscent of the murals of José Clemente Orozco & Diego Rivera.

I couldn’t help but help myself to them and I completely agree. Don’t let the outside fool you. Definitely a place to try.

We are new to the area.
My wife and I very much enjoy authentic Mexican cuisine. We were told La Mexicana served amazing food.
Perhaps it was an off night... our server had very little knowledge of the menu, was not at all personable, and missed the little yet important things like asking us if we wanted water & did not bring us more chips/salsa before our meal was served as we had asked of him.
We ordered enchiladas & flautas which are very basic and a common order, especially for a first visit. The primary course was bland and the rice & bean sides were as if they came off the shelf.
We might go back, but I doubt it because none of the staff seemed to have a customer first attitude.
Time to step it up staff & management, especially at the end of the night.

Very good real Mexican food. Odd to find in Sauk City but "What the Heck"! Visited someone close by and stopped on the way back to Madtown. Glad we did! Good prices. The only hiccup is the parking. It's on Water Street right after the bridge. Busy corner. Parking requires a little luck and maybe a little prayer...We'll stop again.

The food is not that great, nothing out of the ordinary.
They also charge you an extra tax on all the price you see on the menu. So don't take it that the price you see is the price you pay. There's an extra tax on everything, and they also charge you more then the Wisconsin 5% sales tax.
This is not legal and should be reported to the IRS...

We came here because the brewery up the road had a 45 minute wait and reviews were good. La Mexicana did not dissapoint.
Plates were about $10-$15 each and they came with plenty of food. Free first basket of chips and sals, but seconds are extra. I appreciate this because it did not spoil my actual entree, otherwise I would be tempted to house those chips.
I ordered the Toquitos Dorados (I think this is what they were called), something I have not seen on a mexican menu before. The tortillas were fried to perfection, a crunchy golden brown. The wait staff was happy to let me get 2 chicken taquitos and 2 cheese taquitos, even though the menu asks you to have one or the other.
We all loved our food, it was delicious! The wait staff was so friendly and very neighborly; they were happy to help us.
Drinks were cheap and margaritas were sizeable! Like really, really big. Definitely worth the value.
The only thing I wasn't a fan of was the salsa served with the chips, but that was my personal preferences. The bottled hot sauces were more my speed, and they were much better in my opinion.
