Went here for a birthday lunch for my wife, as I stated in the reservation. Lovely outside seating and classic margaritas were great. Our server Mario came across overly charming but pleasant and took our order without issue but kept coming back with questions of what we ordered, as he kept thinking we ordered something different than we did. What did come out was mostly bland but okay. Tacos that we ordered with all the other food took an hour to come out after we were done eating and just waiting for them and they were not what we ordered. When we told another server it was incorrect (Mario never checked on us) the manager told Mario but he denied he put the wrong order in. When the manager checked in to tell me our correct order would be coming, I shared the above and stated that it had been a disappointing dining experience, especially since we were celebrating a birthday and he dismissively said sorry, walked away and never checked back. I've never had such a dismissive and disrespectful dining experience in my life, plus the food was meh.

Food was incredible. I wanted to show a US colleague the different types of tacos Mexico has to offer in a nice, upscale environment. La Unica had a vast selection.

Great vibe but very loud upstairs and more like a club (with a DJ). We went on a Saturday night - very lively and noisy - depends on what vibe you are going for. Upstairs appeared to be a younger crowd vs downstairs where it was much calmer. Food was delicious. Highly recommend the yellowfin & watermelon ceviche, as well as the corn ribs!

La Unica siempre es una opción segura. Se mantiene la calidad y el servicio atento de siempre. Como todo en Mexico ahora, el precio está disparado y es insostenible.
