Nestled in Live Oak, La Mexicana Market offers a menu that embodies the rich, authentic flavors of Mexican cuisine. The selection is both extensive and satisfying, featuring a mix of traditional staples and house specialties that make this spot a local favorite.
The standout on the menu is undoubtedly the Birria Tacos, packed with slow-cooked, tender beef, dipped in a rich consommé that enhances every bite. The balance of spices, crisped tortilla, and melted cheese makes these a must-try. Another highlight is the Carne Asada Burrito, a generously stuffed creation with grilled steak, rice, beans, and fresh pico de gallo, all wrapped in a soft flour tortilla.
For seafood lovers, the Camaron a la Diabla delivers a fiery kick, with shrimp bathed in a bold, spicy red sauce, served alongside rice and warm tortillas. If you're craving something lighter but still full of flavor, the Ceviche Tostada offers a refreshing mix of shrimp or fish marinated in citrus, topped with avocado and crisp veggies on a crunchy tostada.
Breakfast options are equally impressive, with the Chilaquiles being a standout choice. Crispy tortilla chips are drenched in either red or green sauce, topped with queso fresco, sour cream, and your choice of eggs or meat. The Huevos Rancheros, served with a perfectly fried egg over corn tortillas, bathed in a zesty ranchero sauce, brings a comforting start to the day.
No visit is complete without trying their Tamales, made fresh and wrapped in corn husks, offering a soft, flavorful masa filled with either pork, chicken, or cheese and jalapeño. Those with a sweet tooth will appreciate the Pan Dulce, a delightful selection of freshly baked Mexican pastries that pair perfectly with a cup of café de olla.
Each dish at La Mexicana Market is a testament to authentic Mexican flavors, delivering both tradition and boldness in every bite.
