Went @ 6pm on a Thursday, friendly staff seated us right away. Drinks were good, food was tasty, and service was prompt and polite. Only detractor was trivia going on, which night be great for some people, but we were trying to have a conversation.

Wait & cost for the food was reasonable and they refilled chips throughout. Overall very similar to other Mexican restaurants in the area. All the food was delicious and I hope we can return soon.

Friendly staff, great food. A beautiful interior! And quite possibly the best quesabirria I've ever had. The Bob Marley margarita was delicious too. Will definitely be back.

Rafael was one of the best waiters we ever had. My step mom accidentally spilled her drink on her food and he replaced the entire dish. Plus of course the food and salsa was awesome.

Really unique building that is architecturally beautiful. Best guac I’ve ever had by FAR. Loved my chimichanga especial meal. My boyfriend enjoyed his chicken quesadilla. My friend said her margarita was too sweet. We will definitely be back!

Stopped here for dinner yesterday and it was amazing! The chips and salsa were fresh, hot and crisp, and the server got our drinks immediately. Our orders came out quickly and everything was cooked to perfection. My husband had the Fiesta Rancheros...grilled steak, chicken and shrimp with onions and broccoli over rice with cheese sauce....and I had the Chimichanga plate...three chimis (beef, chicken, and shrimp) with rce, beans and salad. The portions were large, and the food was fresh and hot. The prices here were very reasonable....approx 40 for our meal, including a 20% tip. We will definitely be back again.

Food and service was excellent. My wife and I shared a dinner and it was more than enough for the both of us. I also ordered some chili toreatos and they accented the flavor of my meal perfectly. We will be coming back.

La Finka is one of those pleasant surprises in casual dining. While many Mexican restaurants offer a limited and very Anglo-influenced menu, La Finka has a varied menu with a number of decidedly traditional and contemporary Mexicano dishes full of flavor and creativity. Service and prices here are reasonable. This restaurant also offers trivia nights and has had live entertainment in the past.
