"This Mexican spot is available for pickup and delivery. Order the burger." - adrian kane
"Taquitos, huaraches, and other south-of-the-border specialties dominate the menu at La Mejikana, but don’t overlook the hamburguesa. A half-pound chuck patty is covered with guacamole, an over-easy egg, grilled onions, Chihuahua cheese, chipotle mayo, and chorizo. It’s a delicious Mexican twist on a timeless classic." - Ashok Selvam
"Drinkers can customize their margarita by choosing between Dos Alas Tequila Blanco and Petunia Mezcal and nine flavors including strawberry, mango, pineapple and coconut. Other riffs include La Macarena, which combines a lime margarita with sparkling red wine. The Pilsen restaurant also serves tequila and mezcal flights and a wide variety of other cocktails made with the spirits such as a mezcal negroni and tequila cosmo." - Sam Nelson
"The burger is by far the best thing at La Mejikana. It’s a beef burger with a crispy chorizo patty (that we’d take over bacon any day), fried egg, grilled onions, guacamole, chihuahua cheese, and chipotle mayo. Available for takeout and delivery." - adrian kane
"We’ve found the rest of the menu at this casual Mexican restaurant in Pilsen to be hit-or-miss. But the burger alone is reason enough to come to La Mejikana. The beef patty is perfectly cooked, and topped with guacamole, an egg, grilled onions, chihuahua cheese, chipotle mayo, and a crispy chorizo patty that we’d choose over bacon any day." - Adrian Kane
