Came to this spot for the carne asada meat. It was recommended by my coworker. I'm not going to waste anymore time with this review the meat was horrible. Not going back not even for a second chance.

A little piece of Mexico! I have lived in the Abilene area for over 7 years and if there is one thing that I have found Abilene lacking in, is real Mexican food or even decent Tex Mex for that matter. Well, not anymore! I cannot believe this treasure has been hidden from me all this time. Although, La Mexican is listed a meat Market, it is way more then just a meat market; it s a little piece of Mexico in Abilene Texas. It is a Mexican import supermarket as well as a little cafe that sells REAL Mexican food. Having grown up in Mexico, I can say that when I walked into La Mexicana for the first time, I felt like I was back in Mexico. The food here is beyond great. It is true authentic Mexican food, NOT TexMex, which is what every other restaurant in Abilene thinks is "Authentic Mexican Cuisine" (What a joke!). I heard about La Mexicana from a friend that saw it and we went by to check it out. They serve "Caldo de Res", and it must be good, because I have yet to get to taste it because they are always sold out, even though they cook about a 20 gallon pot of it each day. On the first day I went here, they had some real, fresh homemade coconut candy that tasted just like the stuff I use to buy off the street vendors down in the Yacatan when I was a kid. It tasted so good I almost cried and I was instantly transported back to my childhood in Mexico. On my second visit, they had some homemade hot elote tamales for sale and they were just as good as the ones I have had in Mexico as well. I can't wait to go back and see what they have next time. If you live in Abilene or are just traveling through and you want to experience a little piece of Mexico and have a chance at some REAL Mexican food, you need to stop by and try out La Mexicana.
