La Norteña is a hidden gem known for its delicious and authentic Mexican food. The store offers a well-stocked selection of fresh ingredients used in traditional recipes. Customers praise the top-tier guacamole, which is highly addictive and reasonably priced at $6.99 per pound, perfect for dipping. The tamales are large, flavorful, and reasonably priced at $3, with a good balance of masa and filling, especially the chicken tamales with tasty sauce. The corn tortillas are praised for their perfect thickness, complementing the great beef and chicken dishes. The restaurant has been a go-to spot for takeout for over ten years, with many customers appreciating the excellent customer service, even for those with limited Spanish. The carnitas are considered some of the best around, and the tacos are consistently good, often better than those from taco trucks. Overall, La Norteña offers delicious food at reasonable prices, with friendly service making it a favorite for regular customers.
I’ve been buying meat, yerba mate, and all kinds of other traditional Mexican salsas and fixings here for years. Could not be happier buying things at La Norteña; the guacamole and pico de gallo are excellent. Recommended!

It's a bit on the small side, but the staff is friendly and the shelves are stocked to the gills with quality goods.
