Customer Reviews
I thought it was suppose to be more authentic however the cheese enchiladas were so gross. Just regular shredded chewy cheese instead of your traditional creamy cheese. The grease was only thing giving the red sauce flavor as it was so watered down. The sauce for the chips was watered down tomato flavored. And everything was cold. The enchiladas and the rice. The only warm item was the charro beans which were good. Rice was very dry but not terrible. The ladies taking the order were very friendly unfortunately the food was over all bland and cold.
I have always liked la Unicas food. Went there today at the la Unica express and what a disappointment. There was a huge line up right up to the street on the drive thru,so I decided to go in maybe faster? I put in my order,and waited,3 guys come in put their order in and left before me,meanwhile the drive thru cars are gone. I get my food and asked for extra red sauce,OMG,it was water with a pinch of red pepper I guess,it was just watery with no flavor. They can keep their crappy food and crappy customer service because I’m not going back there. I’m changing my review after Speaking to Marta the owner of la unica express and she was so nice and told me she’s going to check out what’s going on. I hope she does,than I’ll go back.
I got 3 breakfast tacos. On flour, with chorizo & potatoes. Their salsa is super thin, so if you like a thicker salsa, this isn’t it. I couldn’t give 5 stars because at the edges of the tortillas, it was rock hard. Buttttt, the rest of the breakfast taco was DELICIOUS! Soft potatoes, savory chorizo. The salsa has a slight kick to it. It kept me full until noon for lunch & I ate at 7:30 am. I also had a fountain Coke & it was PERFECT! The service has always been good & I’m pleased to see La Unica doing well.
I've been coming through here for years and I'm TIRED of getting the wrong items. The food is good but I've routinely been given something I didn't order. Burrito with cheese when I asked for no cheese. 2 burritos when I ordered 3. A side of charro beans when I asked for refried beans. No drink when I ordered one. I know they work hard and mostly do a good job but its frustrating to drive away and not have what I ordered to feed my family. Why can't you read the order back to ensure we're both on the same page?
Great breakfast burritos. Love the way they grill them to give it that bit of crisp on the outside. The green sauce has the perfect amount of heat! Fast and friendly service. Highly recommend!
