our story
From Our Kitchen
From Our Kitchen
to Your Corner
La Favorita Market is a family-run cocina tucked right on Gastonia Highway - a little market with a big soul, slinging the kind of Mexican street food you'd only expect to find from an abuela's kitchen or a sizzling corner stand in Jalisco. Every tortilla is pressed to order, every consomé simmers for hours, and every taco leaves the kitchen dripping with the stuff that makes Bessemer City line up for more.
We specialize in birria - slow-braised lamb and beef barbacoa that's turned into cheesy tacos, fat quesabirrias, and even a PizzaBirria you have to taste to believe. Add loaded fries stacked with your favorite protein, burritos built six ways, and warm mini churros tossed in cinnamon sugar, and you've got a menu that keeps locals coming back week after week.

"The barria Taco Birrias were amazing and fresh! I couldn't even eat all 3 in one sitting. The consomé had huge chunks of meat in it that paired well with the Side of Rice. Definitely would order again! The Mini churros were also delicious and fresh."

"Omg - the Quesabirria was so cheesy, flaky and flavorful. It was way bigger than I expected and I was able to have some left over for later. The consommé was very light and flavorful. I definitely recommend and will be ordering again :)"
- Dominic M.
"The Personal PizzaBirria was PHENOMENAL! The dipping sauce just made it even better. And the Loaded fries... OMG... those have got to be some of the best things I have ever eaten in my life. We will DEFINITELY be ordering from here again. Best Mexican around."
