Very good food was fresh and delicious.Service was friendly & attentive.They prepare my Husbands favorite dish perfectly. We will return again soon.
The service, the food and the ambiance are amazing. This restaurant is highly underrated. When they get their liquor license approved they will be a force to be reckoned with.

Restaurant was very clean. Our server was very friendly and efficient at taking our order. Very attentive with just the right amount of service. Food was exceptional with a great variety of tastes. The salsa were fresh and delightful.
Restaurant had several customers but did not delay our service at all. We were waited on promptly. The chips and salsas were very fresh tasting and each had their individual tastes. Our meals had excellent presentation. All fruit and produce were very fresh. The entrees themselves were cooked with the right amount of seasonings and each mouthful was a delight. This truly is a great dining experience.
I had a Restaurant. Com $10 certificate, my sister and nephew recommended this place. I was rushed to order and I asked how the octopus appetizer was served...the waiter said "the octopus is $15 today." Instead of the $12 on the menu. I said fine but still didn't answer my question. I asked again, he said "boiled." I prepare octopus myself and the dish was a small diced piece of fish in a cold salad with tomatoes, onions, cilantro, jalapenos in a light lime sauce. Quickly my meal arrived. My table was full with the nachos and sauces, my appetizer and now my main entree. I was the ONLY customer in the restaurant. I tried to eat my main dish but was pestered by the server. I asked for a box and he gave me a very small container, impossible to fit even half of my food. I asked for a second one, then I received the Bill which added an extra $5 for the small amount of guacamole I ate with the "complimentary nachos?????" I left him a $1 tip to compensate for the extra $8 he scammed from me. Was he going to reuse the nachos dip??? I didn't even get to enjoy them! And if this wasn't insulting enough my sister recommended this place because they serve free margaritas, I was never offered a beverage, yet served a Snapple when I thought I ordered a mango sangria! When I collected my receipts and left a table that just arrived with 2 women were being served margaritas and said "keep them COMING!"
Didn’t enjoy the veal cutlet and had a side of pasta that was whole wheat. I did not order it and didn’t eat it. Very bad and I always eat my pasta!
We were frustrated to find a sign on door saying "We do not accept Restaurant.com". When asked, the manager indicated they have attempted to have you remove their establishment, all to no avail.
Great food, great atmosphere. Excellent BYOB spot!
Warm friendly service, and wonderful menu selections made this a go to location for us. The BYO tequila which is made into margaritas by them or mixed by you makes it an even better value. The ceviche was generous, fresh and delicious! The Chile rellenos were wonderful. The warm chips and 3 sauces were an added hit - 3 levels of heat!. We will be going back soon!

Service was incredible. Our drinks were refreshed immediately and requests acted on without having to ask again. Food was definitely cooked to order. Very fresh with distinctive tastes. Great variety. Definitely an eating experience.
Clean & fresh looking. Very open for being in Norristown. Beautiful tables. Food was hot (temperature) and fresh. Large portions.
Tried something new this time and loved it - the Churrasco was delicious. The only negative comment I have is that the chips have become thicker, and tougher to eat. The salsas are still wonderful!
Delicious food, large portions, good service, decent price. For some reason it smelled smokey, but other than that it was great.
Mole sauce is excellent.
Quality of food and freshness - exceptional.
The food was really good the atmosphere was very authentic and the service was REALLY great!! The waiter and hostess were nice

Great food and service. Loved it!
very good, authentic mexican food
Food and service was great
Fantastic chicken mole - the mole sauce is - to die for!
My family and I come to this restuarant at least once a month. The food is consistent although I'll admit that I don't like everything on the menu but I do have my favorites. I love the shrimp nachos and the chile rellanos. The fish tacos are good but not fancy. They give you complimentary fresh, hot chips and 3 types of salsa. You can get a large pitcher of margaritas for $15. (BYOB) They also have a kids menu. The staff is friendly and attentive.
Food was excellent and fairly priced.
The flavors in the sauces, salsa, and main dishes are amazing with each bite. Everything was prepared fresh and served warm. Waitress was spot on with all our special requests and didn't forget one thing. Always with a smile.
Good is awesome
Great service. Delicious food.
This is the best Mexican restaurant in the Philadelphia area hands-down!
Always good. Service excellent

Great food. Service that truly takes care of the customore.
Great flavors. Food fresh. Salsas are very tasty. Server has great knowledge of food and what her customers like.
very authentic,and delish.
The food was very tasty. Unfortunately, chips & salsa are NOT complimentary - but they are handmade chips served with three very good salsas. Service was decent, although menu items were a bit pricey.
Excellent food with very fresh ingredients. Quality and quantity were both tremendous.. Service was outstanding
Great food. Very friendly service. Unbelievable tastes!!
Great food and service.nice music.
There was no air conditioning on one of the hottest days of the summer. The wait staff said they tried to get a hold of the manager but it was his day off and didn't answer the phone. It was ridiculous!
Service was alittle off this time. Hope next time its better
Nice food, friendly staff
Every time we go it is excellent. Service is great too.Pleasent waitress.
best and most authentic Mexican around :)
The food and the service was great.
The atmosphere was nice and casual. The waitress helped me decide on a tasty dinner. I had the shrimp fajitas, really good choice. My son loved the chicken tacos.
Great food always. Ditto for service.
Food was very fresh, service was great, ample portions

The fajitas mmixtas were the best ever!
Great service. Very friendly but efficient. Food cooked fresh.
Best Mexican food ever.
The variety of flavors was incredible. The different salsas tasted fresh and each had it's own unique taste. All the dinners came hot and cooked just right. Very tasty. Server was great at suggesting a different dish which we did try. We were glad to do so.
La Michoacana serves authentic Mexican food.We all enjoyed everything we ate.Great service also.
The food is really good and our waitress was really friendly!
Service was exceptional. The waitress remembered a lot of our preferences which made the dining experience even better. All in our party commented on how the food really tasted incredible. Super restaurant.
Food was great, huge portions. Everything tasted very fresh.
Nice sized servings. Very flavorful
Great food, great staff and great atmosphere
Servers are always friendly and attentive. The different dishes we have tried have all been very good.
Food was exceptional. They had a dinner special which was nice to have another option. Service was superb. We were not rushed and all courses were served so you weren't waiting for your food.
The food is excellent and so is the service! The wait staff is very attentive and nice!
great service - great atmosphere - awesome food - will be back
$15 meal then they charged $1 for extra salsa
The special with octopus, mussels and tilapia in coconut milk was delicious.
Our party was 4 adults and 2 children. We ordered a variety of food. All was tasty and presented nicely. Even the children appreciated how well the food was prepared. Excellent service with all our requests met.
Could use some more vegetarian options.
Food was extremely tasty. Restaurant did a super job of preparing food and serving us. Especially considering the had a huge group that had come in.
Great service and food!
The Restaurant was nice but the quality of our dinners was not very good.
The food was excellent. It is a BYOB which is always nice. If you bring tequila they offer authentic margarita mix. We love the carnitas, carne asada, nachos con chorizo and anything with the mole sauce.
The best!! None of the chains can compete
Our waitress was perfect!
Food came out cold and dessert was tasteless and overpriced
Authentic Mexican

Pleasant service, good quality food
Tried the chalupas for the first time and they were excellent!
Food delicious. Portions large.
Food delicious. Portions large.
The queso fundido was literally a large glump of cheese. Nothing like I have every had before. after the 1st bite it was not edible. The Carnitas that had a thumbs up next to it was dry and tough. Couldn't eat much of that either.The sign outside says BAR and they didn't serve alcohol accept one complimentry margarita. VERY disappointing.
my dish was delicious and so was my friends. we both said we would love to go back and try other dishes.
Everyone in our party kept saying "The food is so good." Great tastes and blend of flavors. Excellent and very friendly service.
Nice atmosphere and decor. Great food. Great service. Large portions.
Great food and they accommodated some special requests.
Great service and food
Food is very good.
Great ambiance. Super service. Felt like the business was delighted to have us as customers. Server did great at customizing our orders to suit our tastes. Food tasted freshly prepared with great blend of flavors.
The prices are great as is the food.
food is delicious; portions are large;great service.
Was fine, would go back again when in the mood for Mexican food.
Wonderful authentic Mexican food. Large selection.
Both service and food were exceptional!
We usually start off with the chorizo nachos which is absolutely delicious. It comes with nice size chunks of chorizo, shredded lettuce with a nice mix of melted cheese over a bed of home made tortilla chips. The three complimentary sauces can be added to your individualized portion. I usually go for the carnitas as my main dish. The pork is succulent with a lot of flavor. The portion is big as you also get guacamole, rice and beans. Mucho muy bueno.
delicious food, pleasant service
Great mixture of flavors that always delights. Food is fresh and service with a smile.
Did take out food. Portions were much smaller and some things were missing.
Great chips and salsa. Food was good. Varied menu, lots of choices. Excellent service.
The food was good, and the service was fine.

The food was amazing and the portions were very generous and very authentic. If you bring your own tequila, they will mix up complimentary margarita's for you.
big portion, goodfood
From the salsas to the entree's you cannot beat the different flavors. Every bite is exceptional. Fresh food and good blend of flavors.
The service and the food are always good.
The service and the food are always good.
authentic, great selection. fresh food.
Food was good and staff was eager to please. They once had a liquor license so I missed having a margarita. Plans to have one in the future.
This is a great authentic Mexican restaurant. Bright, Cheery, and excellent, fresh food. Service is attentive and friendly. I have been going here for years and it's one of the best. The prices are very reasonable and you get a lot of food.
Exceptional flavors. Food was hot and tasted fresh. Great combination of flavors.

Very Nice Experience
Very tasty food. We love it.
Delicious, authentic food with excellent service!
great fresh food, delicious use of spices
very authentic - very enjoyable - will come back -
Problem with liquor license, so no alchoholic drinks available. Food is just average and high priced for what we got.
Wait staff was excellent and so was the food.
they've been without their liquor license for close to a year. margharitas would help a lot!
Service was great, waitress was very pleasant. The decor of the restaurant was also very nice and made it feel like an authentic Mexican restaurant. Food was also good, some items better than others. The complimentary chips were a bit too oily, but their assortment of salsas was extraordinary!
Had to keep trying to get waitresses attention.... she kept forgetting tobring us things..... very frustrating.....
We always love coming to La Michocana - like the atmosphere and the wait staff. They are always very friendly.
Best authentic Mexican food I've eaten on the East coast!
EXCELLENT FOOD. GO FOR IT.
will cpome again. great food and atmosphere!
We discovered this restaurant on our own. When thinking of where to eat out this is always tops on our list. Waitress was exceptionally friendly and really added to our great dining experience. Food superb.
Had a very enjoyable time. Very welcoming!
Very Good top quality food at reasonable prices
This was the blandest Mexican food I ever had. Even the salsas were all bland.
Awesome food...awesome service
Waited an hour for our food. Food cold. What service? Forgot about our party of 2 adults 3 children. Hard to miss. Save your money.
Waitress very nice!
The service was great - the place was comfortable and clean - the food was pretty tasteless (even the salsa), with the exception of my mole sauce.
This food is consistantly good. Everyone is also very friendly. Easy parking.
we eat there several times a month and love the food; it is authentic and reasonably priced
Wonderful authentic Mexican restaurant with a great atmosphere and amazing food!!!
The food took too long to come out. We waited 45 minutes after we ordered to get our food. In addition, there was only one server serving 10 tables.
Excellent food and friendly atmosphere.
This restaurant is nothing less than spectacular.
Best mexican food around!
Very authentic food
we really enjoyed. our meals. food was delish! My husband and I love authentic Mexican food. The presentation was also very good...something you usually do not get in Mexican restaurants. Overall excellent!
Fantastic food as always!!! I travel from Delco to eat here and it's always worth it. I wish there was a La Michocana near me!
Absolutely superb Mexican Restaurant, with family type atmosphere and fresh home cooking.
Food was excellent and many choices.
Loved the restaurant both the food and ambiance.
The food was really good, but the service could have been a little faster and proactive.
I have had 3 or 4 very good experiences with delicious food, and love the atmosphere/ decor.
We enjoyed the food, the service and the evening.
very good authentic food
service was very good - food excellent, good quality and authentic. Huge portions. atmosphere is fun and relaxed.
The food was authentic Mexican and delicious.
The waiter with the ponytail needs to be friendlier or find another job. Everytime we visit we seem to have him serving us and he always seems to be in a bad mood.
used to frequent the place but feel the quality has gone down and the prices have gone up. the service has always been marginal
Tamales appetizer started well...a bit dry but flavorful. From there downhill. I ordered the whole fried red snapper and you could tell the fish was not fresh. And at $30 I expected this to be as good, if not better, than other places I order it at. It had a stench and the skin wasn't crispy, almost as if it had been deep fried previously and re-heated. Wife ordered the fajitas, which it was clear they didn't use traditional flank steak meat. Poor choice of meat used and very greasy. Enchiladas were dry..again as if cooked previously and re-heated. Chips and salsa were the best part of the meal, and the margaritas were very good as well for the price. Overall, not worth the money for a good dinner. maybe for tacos or to come try the Pozole on the weekend, you'd figure (or hope) that at least that is made fresh since only offered on the weekends.
We went on our lunch hour & called the order in ahead and they got us in and out in 45 minutes. Service & food was perfect!
Love this place!
Have been there bwfore
A bit pricey but the food was excellent. For an sparcely filled restaurant service was lacking.
It's ALWAYS Wonderful ! I highly recommend dining there.
The enchiladas verdes were pretty spicy! I have had them before and they were definitely more spicy this time than any time before.
best mexican food in the philly region! will definitely visit again. thank you!
We would highly recommend this restaurant.
