La Orquidea is a Mexican grocery store and restaurant known for its great authentic food. Reviewers call it the best Mexican food ever, praising the street tacos, gorditas, tortas, enchiladas, and everything. The tortas milanesa are highlighted as exceptional, with a toasted bolilo, tender milanesa with crunchy batter, and fresh veggies. The homemade chips are crisp and yum, served with a sauce bar. The atmosphere is nice and the place is kid-friendly, with many families, temporary tattoos, stickers, and a claw machine for children. The attached store is a favorite part for many, offering spices, meats, cheeses, breads, and veggies at great prices, with a bakery section right next to it that is on point. The parking lot is big. Wheelchair accessibility is noted as easy with sliding doors and no stairs. While the food is consistently praised, comments on service are mixed, ranging from great to eh. Overall, it is highly recommended as a first pick.
The chips - YUM!! Homemade and crisp! They have a sauce bar with pico, onion, and cilantro. The street tacos were great! Our waitress could have been a little better. We ran out of water and chips several times. Great authentic mex food, not chain!!

We have eaten tortas milanesa across the country, but the ones! we had today were the best either of us ever had. The bolilo was toasted just right, the milanesa was so tender with crunchy batter, the veggies were fresh and oh so good. Bien bien bien !Muy delicioso!

We love going here and trying the fresh baked goods and fruits that we are less familiar with.
