" Every time I manage to visit La Unica Express, I leave feeling satisfied. The freshness of their ingredients stands out, especially in their tacos that are made to order. I truly enjoy the breakfast offerings, particularly the spicy chorizo tacos. Although I agree that the space is small, the food more than makes up for it. I always recommend to friends who want authentic Mexican fare without a hefty price tag. " (*Curated Review*)

" La Unica Express is the place to get your Mexican food fix in Lufkin. Their tacos are consistently delicious and bursting with flavor! I love their carnitas and tacos al pastor—the authenticity shines through. The only downside is the limited seating; it's more of a grab-and-go spot. But it’s always worth it for good food. Just wish the prices were a bit lower as I’ve noticed they’ve increased recently. " (*Curated Review*)

" While I had some good meals during my visits to La Unica Express, my last experience was very disappointing. I ordered a chicken burrito but found mostly tortilla with very little chicken. The remainder of my order, including the chips, was fine but couldn't make up for the burrito's shortcomings. The staff was polite but seemed overwhelmed during peak hours. I hope for better next time if I choose to return. " (*Curated Review*)

" I keep going back to La Unica Express for the simple reason that their food is quite wonderful. The beef tacos have a robust flavor that never fails to impress. What I appreciate the most is that they are willing to adjust my order to my taste preferences without any fuss. Though the place is always busy, the turnaround time is still fast. I can't recommend them enough for anyone looking for authentic flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a mixed experience at La Unica Express recently. The tamales were outstanding—full of flavor and generously filled—which is what I’ve come to expect. Yet, my burrito was lacking in beans and flavor. I felt a bit cheated for what I paid. The service was good, though, and the staff were friendly. It's hard to completely critique the restaurant when some of their offerings are so good! I would say they are authentic staples that you just can't get elsewhere. " (*Curated Review*)

" I love visiting La Unica Express! The food is consistently excellent and offers a nice variety of authentic Mexican dishes. Every bite is flavorful and satisfying, whether I’m ordering the tacos or a burrito. The staff is friendly and welcoming, making the experience even better. While the location is small, it emphasizes the express nature of the place. I can easily see myself returning time and again! " (*Curated Review*)

" My last visit to La Unica Express was not as impressive as previous ones. I ordered the ranch steak burrito, hoping for a hearty meal, only to find it lacking in beans and cheese. I felt quite dissatisfied due to the size versus price ratio. The service was friendly but a bit slow. Overall, I’d say the authenticity is still there, but I do wish they would focus on consistency with their portions. I might consider trying again, but it wouldn't be my first choice now.
