La Taqueria

Unfortunately I was mislead by the positive reviews. I have just spent 5 months in the Southern states of USA and can definitely tell the food served in this restaurant is not Mexican nor a Tex-mex food. The nachos were served with FLOUR tortilla and even though I have specifically made it clear I do not consume gluten (flour!) to the waiter, he did not recognize “their nachos” as potential hazard. I have never ever eaten tortillas made of flour. Nowhere. Not even in the neighboring countries of Serbia, which are also serving adapted Mexican food. The guacamole had yoghurty taste and their beans were not mashed but were pretty much puréed. Loaded sweet potatoes (not very Mexican either) was the only thing I could eat. I asked the waiter for preparation of a rice bowl (most of the tex-mex restaurants have this option)and they were able to fix a bowl with the content of a burrito. However, the pulled chicken on the top of it was very very dried and looked like overfried which should not happen as it was not supposed to be fried, but slow cooked - aka simmered, not slowly dried on a pan. To note: tacos were also available only in flour tortillas… I started being worried whether there was some lack of corn in this country… Unfortunately, I wouldn’t repeat. Nice interior though.

Tasty Mexican food, also gluten free options. Nice atmosphere.
