Hidden in Wilton Manors, just outside of Oakland Park, at the Wilton Yard at 2430 NE 13th Ave is a little gem, known as La Mexicana Taco Bar. Pronounced La Meh-hee-ka-naIt this little gem is much more than a simple taco bar. It offers a unique dining experience with quality food, a picturesque ambiance and music. On their website they describes themselves as restaurant “...providing quality Mexican fare in a beautiful bohemian environment leaving you wanting to come back for more“! The quaint restaurant is known for their dining atmosphere along with the array of Mexican flavors their menu offers their guests.
From La Fruteria to La Mexicana
La Mexicana opened their doors just 5 years ago at this unique location. Initially known as La Frutera, where they offered a variety of fruit juices, it later developed into the concept that embodies the Mexican culture and flavors, while still offering the fresh fruit juices too!
Owner Diva Name was inspired by food and art and used this inspiration when scouting for a location for her business. Diva is of Colombian descent but was so enamored with the healthy variety of food options that comes with Mexican cuisine that she opted for this concept when transitioning the business name from La Frutera to La Mexicana. When asked, why she initially chose this location for her place of business, her answer was plain and simple, “Nature and Art is a part of our location and [our location] offers many outdoor seating options.”
