I ordered takeout and the food was on time, environment was welcoming and the service great. The shrimp tacos were delicious, the best I’ve had, will definitely return.

I was furniture shopping in the area and decided to stop by and grab a bite to eat at this place. Wow I'm so surprised by the authentic menu and the quality of the food! The eggplant taps was so unique and delicious. The tacos were probably the best street tacos I ever had (I tried a shrimp, a beef, and a chicken to try, shrimp and steak were my favorite ones).

Was in town for work and stopped by La Prensa for a quick lunch. The food was outstanding. Simple order - chicken burrito and side of chips / salsa. Both were exceptional especially the burrito. I had the Chicken Tinga which included bits of cabbage, cilantro and onion. The shell was light and thin with a slight crisp. Also included some rice and black beans but was mostly chicken. The service was also exceptional and there was a nice laid back vibe. Will certainly be back and look forward to trying new items there.

This place is incredibly good. A must try. I came here for the veggie empanadas and I was not disappointed at all. So good. I also had the chicken tamale which was just perfect. Probably the best in Loudon for this type of food. Highly recommend

Found this place on a recent work trip. Honestly some of the best Mexican food I’ve ever had. The Chicken Mole enchiladas and seasonal mushroom taco were both phenomenal. I will return.
