I've have eaten here for years and I don't know why I've not posted a review for La Mexicana. It's like not introducing your best friend to a great woman you've know for a long time. I always have the same thing, not just because I'm predicable, but also the burrito pollo is always delicious. And my lord is it huge. Something that big is never on a lunch menu. This ain't Chipotle with 80% rice, 10% beans and then dig around to find the meat. There must be a full piece of white meat of chicken in this thing. If you look closely at the ingredients you'll actually find vegetables. I'm not kidding. Most Mexican restaurants smoother meager portions with carne, cheese or guac sauce. La Mexican puts the red or green chili sauce on the table so you can self-sauce to taste. The chips are thick and generic, but instead of same ole' salsa are served with a bowl of green chili sauce that is spicy enough to clear your sinuses, but not so much that you'd stop eating them. Just take an extra chip, with out sauce, to clear the kick from your taste buds. The variety of meats is huge, including brains. The also have bottle of Coca-Cola from Mexico (Which, from what I've read recently, is not made with 100% cane sugar). While it's in downtown Newport there's plenty of parking behind the store, from there it's just a walk through the tienda to the restaurant. The décor is bland the food is not.
