What People Say

Reviewers on TripAdvisor and OpenTable praise La Única for its authentic Mexican food with a home-cooked feel, especially the tacos al pastor, tamales, and enchiladas. Guests love the friendly staff and the vibrant, colorful interior that adds to the festive mood.

Areas for Improvement

Some diners note that the location feels a bit out of the way if you're staying downtown, and parking can be limited during peak hours. Also, while the atmosphere is fun, it can get a little loud during busy times—great for hype, but maybe not ideal for a quiet catch-up.
