La Ciudad

Ordered take out from here last night. Never tried the place but went off yelp reviews.

We had the chicken with Mole sauce, and tacos. Both were AMAZING. The rice that came with it was to die for!

Seriously. Will be coming here again. Can't wait to actually dine in!

Pulling up to this place, you might think to yourself "ummmm....so why did we decide to try the place in the rundown strip mall??".  But don't worry, you made a great choice to come to this restaurant!  Like most Mexican places, they immediately bring out the chips and salsa.  I like my salsa really spicy, so I thought it could use more spice, but not everyone does, so I understand.  We also ordered some guacamole to eat with the chips, which was tasty.  My boyfriend ordered the Angel combo which has a stuffed poblano pepper and half a portion of carne asada.  I tried a bite of his stuffed pepper and I definitely got the spice I was looking for!  It was really good.  I ordered the Burrito Suizo with chorizo inside.  I devoured 3/4 of my plate before I stopped and realized I just at a large man's portion of rice, beans and burrito.  But, despite my disgust in myself, I still had room for a few bites of Flantastico for dessert.  Definitely a must have to end my meal!  The best part about this place is it's BYOB.  We brought 2 bottles of wine with us and drank every last drop.  Great service and flavorful dishes!  Definitely give this place a try!

Holy Guacamole!

I seem to have a tradition of going to Mexican restaurants for my birthday. So this last year, thanks to Yelp, I chose La Ciudad for it's proximity, prices, and BYOB-ness.

An excellent choice to start off a new year right!

The food was delicious. I recall the standout being the Avocado and Mango salad that a friend had, but every. single. dish. was tasty.

Service was fantastic, even before a friend notified them that it was my birthday. They were funny, attentive, and managed not to seem frazzled, even though it was a busy Friday night.

Oh boy is this place small though. We had a group of 5 and that seemed to be about as large of a group they could fit in (on a busy night like a Friday at any rate). But the ambiance was perfect, somehow intimate even though you could easily tune into the conversations at other tables, somehow happening even though I'm not really sure what that word means, and fun fun fun!  

Plainly put, I loved La Sierra (the birthday Tres Leches cake didn't hurt) and I will absolutely return.
