If you haven’t made it to La Unica yet, spring is the perfect reason to go. Tucked right on Main Street in downtown Pennington, this family-owned gem has been winning over Mercer County one taco at a time since opening its doors in 2023.
Owner Rafa built his reputation on catering before bringing his “Cocina del Corazón” — Cook of the Heart — to a brick-and-mortar spot in the neighborhood he’s called home for over a decade.
Everything on the menu is made from scratch using native ingredients. No shortcuts, no processed food. Just signature tacos, flautas, enchiladas, esquites, and more — the kind of food that makes you feel like you’re actually in Mexico.
With a 4.8 Google rating and dine-in, takeout, and catering available, La Unica is a local standout worth every visit.
La Unica Mexican Eatery. 20 N. Main Street, Pennington. 609-901-3181. la-unica.net.
