Tip: Ask for the hotter sauce if you like an endorphin rush, as the standard sauce with the chips has little kick. Also, they have a variety of salsas, just ask.

La Mexicana Sweetwater Reviews
The food was delicious and the service was excellent! We will definitely be back!
Great food and people. Really loving that avocado salsa .
Renee had very good customer service.
Very good food and clean place/good service as well.
In a previous life, this was a Whataburger. It's been converted to a Mexican restaurant, and the results are pretty good. The food is tasty, and the service was great. I tried the Picadillo enchiladas with red sauce. I'm definitely coming back to try everything else! Homemade chips and salsa!

This Mexican restaurant is the one out of 2 places that I go to but I’ve been going to the establishments more often. Best breakfast burritos by far!! Don’t get me started with the different salsas they offer, avocado sauces and the tomatillo chili!!
If you want Tex-Mex, do not come here. This place has AUTHENTIC, delicious, amazin food. We loved the fajitas, the banana leaf tamale, the enchiladas! We will be back.
Street Taco's were excellent had that for supper tonite good job. I have been a customer for awhile now and have never been disappointed with the food or their service.
The menudo is very great and authentic, if you want a good menudo, here you'll find it. It is a little spicy and has that great taste a menudo has to have!😍
Delicious food and fantastic service. Not a very big menu but the food is wonderful. Not to mention the chips are actually home made.
Absolutely loved the food. Best I have had in a long time. Our server was amazing. Will definitely go back.
Best authentic Mexican food you can get around here. Hands down. Highly recommend it.
Have gone several times for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and will continue to go! Prices are fair. They will make anything on the menu any time of day. The biggest breakfast burritos in town, normally I order 2 from anywhere else but not here! They have a variety of salsas all you have to do is ask. The menu is adjustable and they will make something even off menu if they can! I regularly see the fire department there so I can't be the only one that thinks it's good! I will say, the sauces and spices are more authentic Mexican rather than texmex, so the flavors are a little different but awesome. I recommend the breakfast burritos or enchiladas
I've been here a few times and oh boy do they feed you. The portions are big here. This is not the place for you if you're trying to lose weight. I got 2 burritos of brabecoa and they were freaking fat. I could only eat 1. Another time I got the menudo and while it is a bit on the spicy side. The flavor is very good. I got a large and it came in a huge bowl and actually had a lot of meat and hominy in it. The service is ok the waitress didn't really check up on me much. For me that's fine because I don't like being bothered while I'm eating. Others might not like that as much. I will definitely eat here again.
Wonderful experience! The food here is authentic Mexican food, it reminds me of when I would grow up in Veracruz, unlike other restaurants that say they make their food freshly yet it’s done in 5 minutes, HERE they make it fresh, they put their time and work into every dish. The food here is unlike no other Mexican restaurants in sweetwater and in Abilene, this is REAL Mexican food made by real Mexican crew! Definitely my new favorite restaurant, will be coming back!
Great food and great service. If you like an endorphin rush, ask for the hotter sauce. The sauce they bring with the chips is good but has little kick. The Asado was an excellent choice. Will be back.

This is the newest Mexican restaurant in town. It’s very colorful and it’s easy to park at. The staff are nice. I’ve only had the potato chorizo egg burrito. It was pretty good but the potatoes need to be cooked and seasoned more. Will try again before I make a final decision.

Nice place. The waitress was great. Food was ok. Nothing to hurry back for.
First time to experience enchiladas that were folded over like tacos and did not have any melted shredded cheese on them but had a good flavor. The best Quac I have had ever. The rest of the food was good.

Very dirty. Floors had not been cleaned con forever, bathroom did t work. Hair in my food.
Terrible and slow service. Food was served cold. Won’t be going back.
The food was disgusting 🤮 never going back
We waited 15 min to get a coffee refil, i had to take the cup to the counter just to remind her as she was just standing back there. Our food took 30 min to get out and came out cold then waited another 10 min. To get a fork to even eat the food and had to ask the food be warmed in the microwave . The manager then said they are slammed and they were sorry , there was us and 2 other tables of 2 people! .
This place is absolutely disgusting! I ordered burritos and it was very very greasy and nasty 🤮 I do not recommend for anyone to waste their money on that disgusting food ....
First off everything tastes off like not in a bad way but just off. I got the chicken fajitas and the chicken was dry and they only served me 1 tortilla! It was supposed to be a flour tortilla but it didn’t look like one. Also, it was so cold inside that I shivered the whole time even though I had a jacket on. The queso was gross, the salsa they served with the chips was gross, and the chips were over cooked. I also got food poisoning from this experience. I don’t recommend this place to anyone! Awful place to eat.
The food was ok the chips were a little burnt. I had street tacos asada and beans with rice .The beans were good but the rice was mushy . The tacos were ok the meat had little seasoning . And the salsa wasn't spicy. The guacamole was good just needs salt the drink were 2 dollars in a can so the food wasn't what I expected . It just wasn't good I wouldn't go there again.
I can't say how the food was because the service was so bad we ended up walking out. We were ignored from the time we walked in until we walked out 15 minutes later. I would have understood if we were told they were understaffed or that someone would be with as soon as they could or told anything but not a word was said to us. I would have been more understanding if it was super busy, but it was 1:30 on Sunday afternoon and there were only a handful of customers. We will definitely not be going back.
Street tacos were too greasy. Chips were over cooked, salsa was ok. Guacamole was bland. Rice was way to mushy and looked old. Had to pay a 4% for paying with a card. I paid for 2 orders of street tacos, 2 can cokes and scoop of guacamole (the serving was so small ) it was 37$.I asked her if that was with the 4% surcharge she said yes and it wasn't. Just disappointed, won't be going back.
