" While the food at La Unica Express is generally tasty, I had a disappointing experience recently. I ordered a burrito and while it looked appealing from the outside, the inside was lacking any substance. The beans were practically nonexistent and it felt primarily like I was eating tortilla. The service was friendly, but I was let down by an overall inadequate meal. I might think twice about returning here anytime soon. They definitely need to step up their portion game! " (*Curated Review*)

" La Unica Express is my favorite go-to for quick bites! The fajitas are succulent and well-seasoned. The staff is incredibly welcoming, and they always get my order right. I appreciate their dedication to using fresh ingredients as it really sets them apart from chain restaurants. Although the atmosphere is simple, I feel at home every time I enter. It’s hard to leave without ordering a few tamales; they are truly exceptional! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to La Unica Express for the first time last week and I can't stop thinking about the tamales. They were rich with flavor and had generous portions of pork. The salsa was on the thinner side, but still had a nice kick to it. The only complaint I had was that the drive-thru line was long, which made me wonder about how fresh the food could have been. However, I can't deny how delicious everything tasted. I will definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve tried various Mexican restaurants, but La Unica Express has become a favorite. Their food remains flavorful and filled with spices that truly reflect Mexican cooking. The service has always been pleasant, although I sometimes do wish for a tad bit of speed during the lunch rush. I urge anyone wanting authentic Mexican to stop by; you won’t be disappointed! " (*Curated Review*)

" Having lived in Mexico for a while, I always seek authentic flavors and La Unica Express did not disappoint. Each taco was packed with traditional taste, especially the al pastor which brought back fond memories. The only drawback was the menu design—it’s hard to tell what’s what at first glance. Still, I plan to return to enjoy those authentic dishes again. A solid spot for Mexican food lovers! " (*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.
