Legit Mexican fare. No joke. Chef Mariana Gonzalez celebrates her family’s generational recipes and shares them with you. Sounds yum…and don’t worry, the drinks are just as good.

    Food was very good. To be honest drinks were very weak. My margarita tasted like lime juice. Not good in the drink department at all.

    The table for our reservation was not ready because the party before us was slow. So we had to wait ( no problem ) but when we got to our table the restaurant had Nachos waiting for because we had to wait. Excellent service and great food.

    Went for lunch between Winter Festival activities. The staff couldn't have been better. It's Burger Bash week too, so I had their burger contestant which was wonderful. Food was great, can't wait to go back and try some of their normal fare.

    An excellent dining experience. Terrific guacamole. Rice & beans were outstanding. Delicious, well-made cocktails.

    Our first time eating at La Vecina. The food was delicious and house margarita was very tasty. It was my husband's birthday so there was a signed card on table and they presented a delicious bread pudding to him at the end of meal. The only suggetion would be that that burrito should include rice and beans as a side. Staff was friendly and attentive. Would definately return :)

    Our server Madison was amazing! She was attentive, pleasant, and helpful. We were celebrating a birthday and they made it special with a card and a little cake with a candle. Such a nice touch! We’ll definitely be back again!
