This is my favourite place to eat in Birmingham! The food is cooked fresh to order and all of the ingredients are fresh and zingy. I recommend the burritos with chicken and vegetables or the burritos with carnitas and chorizo. The pico de gallo is incredible and the guacamole is too. The sweet corn salad is nice but could use a bit more zest. The cheesy bean nachos are really delicious too. This is my go to place with friends and family. It is run by a mexican family and they are very friendly. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere and on weekends it has a nice bustle but isn’t overwhelmingly busy. They also have regular deals on the independent Birmingham app and customers can park around the back of the store.

Lovely food, greeted with kindness, you can tell the food is made with love, atmosphere so lovely where it doesn’t even feel like you’re sitting in Bearwood. Full house on a random Wednesday. Will definitely come back!

Firstly what a lovely family that run and cook the food. We ordered two different meals and both were a reasonable price and very filling.Was nice that for the quesadilla they were happy to mix chicken with chorizo which was a beautiful combination. Comes with a salad and rice.Went down really well with a fizzy guava drink. Had a tiny kick of spice but wasn't over whelming.Will Definately go back!

Really lovely spot with authentic Mexican food - which can be hard to come by. Staff were friendly and accommodating when one member of our party was late. All the food tasted fresh and flavourful, I had the tostadas - the refried beans were so tasty!Downside is there’s not much parking available. Would definitely visit again.

A local favourite’s with authentic mexican food, there’s even a sombrero in the house, the owners really put in effort in its decoration.Food was great and filling, just slightly overcooked with the bisteca. P.S. The hot sauce is a must-try, great for dares!

One of my favourite restaurants. This place is a hidden gem. Family run with authentic home cooked Mexican recipes. It doesn’t really get any better.

In one single visit this place became one of my most favourite places to eat in Birmingham. The food is hard to describe in words, you just have to try it. The service is also 10/10. Couldn’t fault this place.

Lovely little spot with nice decorations, vibes and very warm service. Most importantly the food was fantastic. Some of the best Mexican I have had. My friend who was with me said it was just as good as the food he had had in Mexico which comes as no surprise as the food is as it says, authentic and delicious! I love local independent restaurants and have always preferred them food wise, and it’s important to support them and I care about this especially as an independent small business owner. Had heard about La Mexicana for a while and it really didn’t disappoint, would highly reccomend and have done already!
