I'm from California and give this place credit for effort. I eat Mexican food all the time back home. I had the birria tacos with the esquites corn dip, it reminded me of elote corn dip the street vendors sell but I'd suggest more sour cream and Tajín seasoning. I'd also recommend including Mexican rice and beans as a side, burritos, Pico de Gallo with the chips, enchiladas and if you could include chile rellano I'd really be impressed

Food and drinks are excellent but if you're unfortunate enough to be put at the table that's immediately in front of the door prepare to be blasted by cold air all night when anyone enters or leaves. Also this is beside where the servers take phone calls so we had difficulty hearing each other at times with the phone ringing and not being answered for long times. This is the 2nd time I've been at this restaurant and I would return but only if I could be guaranteed I wouldn't be sitting right beside the door. I think this restaurant should sacrifice its seating capacity by 2 and just remove this table during winter/cold months.

The food was awful, we ordered it and then about 5 minutes later our main courses came out. They tasted bland, un seasoned and had clearly been sat around for ages didn’t seem like it was made fresh. and for the price you are paying that is ridiculous, the food should have tasted amazing. But it didn’t.

The food here is excellent - everything is pretty simple and really well done. The cocktails are top class, a proper authentic margarita experience (I'd especially recommend the mezcal margarita). There's good gluten free options and veggie/vegan options. The decor and general ambience of the place is pretty casual given the price of things, which is the only thing that maybe let's it down. Also worth noting hat a 10% service charge is automatically baked into your receipt. Overall, a reliable and tasty place to enjoy Mexican.

Fantastic food and drinks. One of the best margaritas in town. Interesting, well executed menu in very decent prices. Service somewhat spotty but fine. Atmosphere could be improved but overall definitely one to recommend when around Ormeau Rd.

I liked the food tbh also the prices are acceptable but the only thing that I didn’t like is the receipt…They have charged me 10% for the service without mentioning that…I asked then the waitress was ohh we are sorry it’s not something that you must pay for…it’s optional (The thing is they have put it already without asking or suggesting it)

Ate there last night. I feel like I've been robbed to be honest. The portions were laughably small. £10 for a shallow bowl of guacamole and a handful of tortilla chips. 2 very small tacos. I ordered a coke.....a joke sized 200ml bottle came, at the cost of £3!! In other words £15 quid a litre. We both left hungry and disappointed. The only over-sized part of our meal was the surprise 10% service charge added to our bill, for pretty unexceptional service. Poor value. Will definitely not be back.

It's nice to have a cool Mexican in the neighbourhood. Also pretty nice to have a connection to Snow Patrol as investors in the place. The Margaritas are delicious, and the guacamole as good as you'll find anywhere. Unfortunately the service is slow and disorganised, and the food is very hit and miss. Fish tacos were dried out and the batter was thick and badly overcooked. We told our waiter, who said, "Oh", walked off, and did nothing about it. When we complained about the flabby Papitas Fritas, he said "What's wrong with them? I had them earlier and they were fine". In other words, you're wrong and I'm right. Lovely. The place wasn't that busy. Could be so much better with some staff training and a bit of attention to detail. Plus, there's a compulsory 10% service charge, which is a bit hard to swallow. A missed opportunity.

Gone downhill since the last time I was here. Food didn’t taste as good and only get 2 tacos now instead of 3 like it used to be. Service wasn’t good enough to justify a 10% charge when I got the bill 😳 really disappointed as used to be a great spot.

An average experience. The fish tacos were the nicest part. The guacamole was bland and under seasoned, as were the beef tacos which were difficult to dip into the broth. Portions were on the smaller side and were expensive for what you get

Food was great! as a mexican, I was impressed with the taste and how authentic the food was however the service was a bit of a let down. We were four friends, three of us were mexicans. At the point of our visit, there was only one table and us in the whole restaurant. We asked if they could put some mexican music for us to which the manager said no without explanation. For us coming from Mexico, to a "Mexican" restaurant in a foreign country, this was very disappointing.

We finally finished the holy trilogy that is La Tacqueria!!! As with the other two restaurants, the food was as authentic as you're gonna get this side of the 'big pond'. Great service from the team too, with expediant delivery, confident cocktails, and a friendly smile with Norn Irish style! Reasonably priced to leave with a full stomach, and great decor too. Highly recommended!

Heard so much about this place and we were excited about tasting the food. I found the main meal to be bland and burnt. My wife’s chicken was cold and there was very little of it. One of the sides had an excessive amount of coriander. Sadly not to our taste. It wasn’t value for money and the gratitude charge (tip) was added. The customer should decide to leave a tip not the restaurant. We wish this local restaurant all the best in the future but we won’t be returning.

We went on the recommendation of our host (she works in one of the sister restaurants). In fact her top suggestion was to get a coconut margarita and she wasn't wrong. Food was excellent, the fish tacos were a particular highlight. Even better the tacos are 100% corn so they were coeliac friendly. The staff were able to provide clear guidance as to what was or wasn't gluten free on the menu. So, if you're in South Belfast for dinner, La Taqueria is certainly worth a visit. Booking in advance is probably advisable.

Looked great, tasted bland. I've no idea how they have managed to make it look so good but have so little flavor. I asked for Chipotle and the waitress didn't know what it was. Only had 2 in-house sauces one was herbs and the other a black smoky sauce that didn't have any kick to it. I'm not crazy on spice but there was no depth of flavor in anything. Such a pity. I thought it was better a few years ago but now I'm doubting myself. Basic Ormeau eaterie. Bring your own sauce.

I’m a Texan now living in Belfast. Gotta tell ya, these folks make a lovely Margarita. My preference is the Tommy Margarita. Each made to order with fresh juice. Amazing!! Also their tacos warm my heart and belly when I’m feeling a bit homesick! Seasonal menu changes with available ingredients. Great guacamole and chips that are hot and crunchy. Last night had ceviche tostada, would have again. All good and brought to you by their staff who are super sweet and attentive. This place makes me happy.

The food was awful. The only thing nice was the Corona. For starters we had tortilla guacamole which was bellow average who puts spring onions in the guacamole and no chillies. It tasted like it was sitting there for ages. Mains was birria tacos which tasted like a toastie with beef. The beef was so bland it tasted like they just boiled it and shredded it. On top of the food been so disgraceful the floor was greasy and table was dirty plus they wanna charge 10% for service charge when they can even offer a clean table. Imagine the kitchen where they cook your food. Had a sneaky peak to the kitchen and the hot plate (grill) was was black no wonder the tacos looked so black.

i never review stuff but i’m literally so appalled at how much of a rip-off this place is that i saw no other choice. partner and i got a takeaway. i got the birria tacos, he the pork belly. we shared a side of holy mole fries, and requested the mole verde on the side. we received a box of plain potato cubes (fair enough) and a TINY tub of mole verde, with the “cheese” in it too. the holy mole fries allegedly come with cheese, but there were probably ~3 strands of shredded cheese in that tub alongside the mole verde. it was audacious how poorly portioned it was. the price of the tacos, which wouldn’t fill a gap in your tooth, was ludicrous too. to top that all off, upon entering the restaurant to collect the order for takeaway, my partner was abruptly told “no tables” by a member of staff - good thing he wasn’t looking one. perhaps a more friendly greeting from the staff would be appreciated next time. well, actually, there won’t be a next time.

This place deserves 0 stars worst experience I have ever had at any restaurant. Customer service was appalling as you literally have to wave down a staff member to place your order. The place was uncomfortably warm with no air conditioning in sight and to top things off the food portions are tiny and less than satisfactory, as well as the cocktails as they contained no alcohol. In my amazement I was then hit with a 10% service charge? For what service? This place was also very dirty from the floors to the tables, stinking. Never again will I be back.

Booked this as it was restaurant week in Belfast and La Taqueria we’re supposedly offering £15 dinner. However when we got there, there was no sign of this and when we asked we were told it was in the other restaurant. I explained to the waitress that it never mentioned this on the Restaurant Week website nor on the menu provided by La Taqueria. No which a very rude woman, who I wasn’t even speaking to interrupted to tell me ‘Actually it does’. After double checking it in fact does not state that anywhere. Regardless the overall food was just satisfactory. And then to top off the awful service the waitress asked was I happy to pay the 10% service charge which they had automatically added on for serving 2 people some tacos on a wooden board. Safe to say I won’t be back in the restaurant which is disappointing because I love tacos.

Food was lovely! Cocktail was nice. However, we did not feel welcome at all. On arrival, we received a frosty welcome and were told we needed to give up our table in 50 minutes. Bearing in mind that the place was empty! Whilst we were still eating, we were told they need the table back in 5 minutes. We asked for the bill. While we waited for the bill, another person came over and told us they needed the table back in 15 minutes. Not sure why, as the place was still pretty much empty. When the bill was brought over, they highlighted that there is a 10% service charge on top of the bill. Paying 10% for a frosty welcome and being rushed to leave 🤣 Maybe just get a boojum next time!🌯

Can’t fault the flavour and quality of the food we tried, but the portions were tiny for the price paid. They also add a “discretionary” 10% charge onto the bill when you go to pay.
