La Unica Tortilleria - Lufkin

First time here. This is one of those hidden gems, off the beaten path that the locals keep a secret. Service was good and the food was awesome!! Looking for a great meal? This is the place!

We?re traveling from out of state and we?re craving authentic Mexican food, the reviews led us here. When we walked in, the place was clean and tables nicely distanced, the friendly young lady took my order in English, after she noticed my Spanish was not sooo great. The chips with salsa and pico arrived at the table and both were flavorful. Our meal arrived piping hot! Everything was seasoned correctly, the eggs cooked perfectly and we were very happy with the meal! Perfectly authentic! After eating I checked out the bathrooms and they smelled and looked clean! No complaints, only in agreement? this is the only one! La Unica! With a full parking lot, it?s a must visit when you?re in Lufkin!

This la Unica is not as good as the other la Unica express with the drive thru. The other one with the drive thru has bigger portions and includes for take out chips and salsa. The Spanish rice is better at the other one too. When we first walked up to place our order the employee walked away from us without saying anything and she turned her back to us while talking to the people in the cooking area. Eventually we did get our order in it took a while and when the food finally got to me it wasn't the hard tacos that I wanted instead it was the street tacos which I still enjoy very much but I had ordered hard tacos for the crunch. Also my beans weren't refried and the Spanish rice wasnt that great. Next time I'm going to the la Unica express with the drive-thru for sure but I thought I would at least give this one a try. Place was clean and it wasn't too busy. Price was a little bit more than I wanted to pay for what I got. I don't think I'll be coming back again.

I didn 't know what to expect. Not being from the area only came because of the reviews. OMG! The food was by far the best tasty Mexican food I ever had (I 'm not Mexican). I talked to the staff since I had no clue what was what, a very sweet lady took the time to explain to me so I order. HOLY FRIJOLES! Do not for one second let the location or building fool you. You want to eat flavor come her and ignore all else. You won 't regret it!

My hubby had some of there ???? at work in a meeting and he said they were good.. so today I went and bought 8 different kinds and I can say they are delicious.. yummy ????
