Reviews
I ordered take out from La Presa finally after having passed by it so many times. The food was absolutely delicious! I was very impressed. The restaurant when I went to pick up my food was clean, all unoccupied tables were clean. When I arrived the hostess verified my name before handing me my food. Food was still hot when I got home. Grabbed a menu before I left the restaurant and saw they have some daily specials and drink specials I want to try another day. Will definitely be coming back here! So happy I got to finally try La Presa.
Very nice place to enjoy mexican food . Burrito is very good, seafood also good . We ordered this time deep fried red snapper. Was Ok , little overcook and very overpriced. Nice and friendly service.
La Presa is one of the last standing and true "Taco Tuesdays" restaurants in the area! Tacos are still $1 are on Tuesdays and that includes Steak (some restaurants do not include Steak as eligible for $1 tacos). They are very tasty and the meat is good quality but they are a bit small, I think you need 4 of them to have a good meal, but they are really tasty. I'd highly recommend stopping by on a Tuesday, the $1 taco deal is good for carryout as well. Great place to beat inflation and still getting to eat out. P.S: when I dined in, the margaritas looked amazing, but I haven't tried them yet, stay tuned...
If it was just a review for my soup. This would be a 10 star review but I need to knock a point off for the fish ceviche, it was lacking that day. Came in over the weekend as hubby and I were in the area. We ordered a fish ceviche as it's something we gave been craving but are too lazy to make ourselves. Unfortunately it was lacking salt and limes. We seasoned it ourselves but it was a but disappointing. Now onto the meals hubby got the steak tacos which were good. I got the La Presa Soup. 100% Yumminess right there. Full of seafood. I had a huge chunk of fish, a cluster if crab and at least 10 langostinos/shrimp. I need to go back just to have it again soon! Of and it's huuuuge. Easily 3 people worth of soup
Food is amazing and authentic, and most restaurants give me anxiety but this one is so relaxing! Love it here, the servers are kind as well.
