Really good Mexican food with excellent tacos. Their beans are delicious or they have grilled onions with all kinds of hot sauces. Plus, Daniels. Amazing

Very good service and excellent food. They have great flavors with all of their dishes. I wish I would have tried the enchiladas. They looked good along with the menudo. I'll definitely be back to try more. This location has been around for a very long time.

Great place to stop for lunch when on a road trip. I was travelling to OC to SAC, and wanted to see all that Weedpatch had to offer along the way (including the Historic Sunset Camp). It was about noon when I arrived, and was feeling a bit peckish. Yelp showed that La Mina was a top-rated option, and they were not wrong. I just got a couple of carnitas tacos, but the pork was out-of-this-world tender and tasty. A little salsa made them perfect. They were street-tack sized, and $2 each. A perfect snack to fuel 4 more hours of driving. I will return to La Mina's when passing through the Lamont/Weedpatch metroplex again.

Don't judge a book by its cover. This place looks a little run down and you can tell it's been here for quite sometime and that's what makes its so wonderful. The lady who served us and took our order was super nice and it didn't take long for us to receive our order. The carnitas were nice and crispy along with so many flavors, I didn't think I would be able to eat the whole burrito but I sure did. When I come back in January I will be sure to eat here again!!!

Fast and friendly service. Breakfast torta was on point, paired perfectly with a cold pineapple cucumber drink. Good menu selection and reasonably priced, my belly's full for less $8.54 out the door. I ordered the breakfast torta with a medium pineapple cucumber drink. That hit the spot. I'll be back for more!
