La Taqueria is located in the food court of the Boulevard Mall. It may never rate a Michelin star, but it far surpassed what I would have expected from food court fair. Most fast food Mexican restaurant give you a choice of hard or soft taco shells. If it’s a slightly better place they might even give you the option of flour or corn tortillas. La Taqueria takes things just one step farther, offering you the option to eat your tacos on lettuce shells. This is fantastic news for those who’ve chosen to go gluten free. For me, it was just a very healthy and very tasty option that elevated my simple order of tacos with carnitas into something a little more special. I ordered a plate of 3 lettuce tacos, each of which came on a very large leaf of what appeared to be romaine lettuce. The lettuce was crisp and fresh, and was showing no signs of having been out of the cooler before my tacos were made. I headed over to the salsa bar which had three different kinds of salsa and a variety of other veggies. There was a mild red, medium red, and a green salsa. There were chopped onions, chopped cilantro, sliced limes, whole radished, pickled jalapeño slices, and some kind of pickled onion or radish to choose from. I loaded up my tacos with fresh condiments and headed for the tables to try them out. Mmmmm… Cool Crispy crunchy lettuce, warm tender moist carnitas, spicy salsa, juicy pico de gallo… These were damn good tacos for a food court. I must admit the atmosphere is standard food court with a sterile feel and completely lacking in any character, but the food makes up for it in spades. It was a fresh and tasty lunch that felt pretty healthy compared to some of the other stuff we ate in Vegas and I left feeling pretty satisfied.

Seen this place was new on Grubhub saw they had Carne asada fries and Nachos so we figured we’d give it a shot. The nachos were ok. I mean the topping were good, the meat was tender and flavorful, but the chips were kind of chewy. The same with the fries all was good but the fries could have cooked longer. Will definitely order again. Next time we’ll try the tacos and burritos

Man this place is shiznit! I’ve been coming to this place since it first opened. The food has always been on point, fresh and very authentic overall. There are menu items you won’t really find at other typical Mexican restaurants like tacos ahogados or avotacos. The staff and owners are friendly which makes me feel comfortable coming back as a customer. Although I dislike its location, it gives me a reason to even go to the mall, but it would be great if this restaurant opened other locations. As far as the food goes you can’t go wrong. From the typical street tacos to the homemade rice and beans, this place is great to satisfy your Mexican food cravings. And if you’re hungover, you can’t go wrong with chilaquiles.

Chicken Enchiladas were awesome. Not too spicy and very filling. Side of rice and beans are proportional. Very authentic recipes. Great place to check out when at the Boulevard mall.

My second visit to this little hidden mexican food outlet within a mall. This time I ordered the Carne asada burrito. Beef, rice beans, pico, guaq, mild salsa, garnished with some fresh squeezed lime for each bite. All I have to say is WTF, why is this place in a mall. The food is awesome. From what I have ordered there has always been a balance of fresh flavors. You guys rock, I will return to try more items on the menu.

I was in the mall and decided to give this place a try rather than my favorite place at the food court. Unfortunately, the burrito was just average. The texture was good and it was huge. However, it was huge because it was stuffed with a ton of rice and beans. Where was the meat? There was just a little bit of the meat, so it tasted like a vegetarian burrito. The service was good, but I’m disappointed.

I wish I could say something good about this place but sadly I’ll never get to know if the food is any good because of the cashiers horrible attitude. God forbid if you have any questions about how the food is served or special request to have the taco toppings placed on the side. All your questions get you is attitude and a sense that they want nothing to do with answering your questions let alone serve you. I’ve never seen such a small mom and pop shop with poor customer service considering they depend on your business to remain open. All I wanted was 2 avotacos with the lettuce, cream and cheese on the side. They made me feel like I was asking for a million dollars. I’ll probably try again earlier in the day when you can expect people to have a decent, welcoming attitude.

This place is exquisite. Normally I wouldn’t expect much from a restaurant in the mall, but La Taqueria is full of flavor. The food is fresh and tastes like a lovingly prepared homemade cooked meal. Items on the menu include the very traditional sopas, empanadas, enchiladas; there are also original items like the avotacos. The food is seasoned with signature sauces that you won’t find anywhere else. La Taqueria introduces large traditional Jalisco meals at very reasonable prices.

If you’re looking for authentic flavor, but in a hurry this is THE place! My personal favorites are the Carne Asada Fries and some Empanadas! The fries are so big that it is definitely a two person job! Everything is fresh and made to order! Also has lots of healthy options for those of us watching our figures, so that makes it even better for me. I feel like I get my cheat in without doing any actual damage. Good stuff all the way around!

Hands down the quickest and most authentic Mexican food I have ever had in the Boulevard Mall at the food court of all places! The portions are huge and the prices are great! A wonderful gem of a place!
