Fiesta Ranchera
A true celebration on a plate. This fan-favorite features a “fiesta” of grilled chicken, steak, and succulent shrimp cooked with fresh broccoli and onions. It is served on a generous bed of Mexican rice and smothered in our signature creamy cheese sauce.
The “La Finka” Fajitas
Our namesake dish uses a special family recipe. We cook tender strips of beef, chicken, shrimp, and chorizo with sautéed onions, bell peppers, and tomatoes. It comes to your table sizzling, garnished with lettuce, fresh guacamole, pico de gallo, and sour cream, served alongside rice, beans, and warm tortillas.
Authentic Quesabirria Tacos
Taste the trend that’s taking over. Our Quesabirria Tacos consist of three birria-style beef tacos, folded into corn tortillas and topped with melted cheese. They are served with a side of rich consommé (broth) for dipping, topped with fresh cilantro and onions.
