I absolutely love La Unica! This is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in the area. The staff is always quick, efficient, attentive, and friendly. The kitchen always gets the food out SO FAST and it always tastes amazing. I've never had a bad meal here. This time around, I got the chori pollo, which was very good, and flan for dessert. I definitely recommend the desserts here. The tres leches, flan, and xango are my favorites. If you're thinking about going to La Unica, you 100% should!

This is my middle grandson's favorite restaurant. I was very honored that he shared it with me. The food was good! It was even more fun watching him enjoy it 😂. Our server was really great. And the atmosphere was great as well. They give you a lot so go prepare to eat a lot and or take food home.

Some people call the dish Chile Colorado, but La Unica calls it Steak con Chile. No matter what you call it, this dish is spicy heaven on a plate. It's probably the spiciest dish on their menu, and it's absolutely delicious. The rich chile gravy cooked with the chunks of steak will send your taste buds to the moon. I finished the whole plate and used my tortillas to wipe up the rest of the sauce.
