Oh my goodness! The food was fabulous. Hot, fresh and wonderful in flavor. The staff is super super friendly. I live in the Hickory area and I would drive the one hour just.to eat there again. I had the steak chicken and shrimp. It was enough for 3 people 😮😮 I also had an empalada and it was SO good! Thank you for such a pleasant experience.

I had an incredible time at La Antigua! The staff was very friendly and funny. The "Garnachas" were delicious, the "Chiles Rellenos" are spicy hot which is good, and the steak was incredibly juicy. After eating, we had coffee with some authentic "Pan Dulce." I couldn't resist buying five bags to take home for my family.

I live in the area and I’ve noticed this restaurant since they started remodeling but today was the first time I stopped by I must say the restaurant is pretty nice and the food was very delicious not too expensive as well. I love that they make homemade tortillas and they’re humongous. Definitely my new restaurant to go to nearby. Will try the buffet next time .
