This restaurant could be really good because food had good homemade taste. Chicken in chicken fajitas was shaped like little cubes, like processed chicken from a can. Refried beans didn't look like beans because they were liquid. The two salsas were from a can, one too hot, the other too mild. I liked the way Tres Leches was chilled; if sweetness was reduced, it would be amazing. Was not impressed with carne asada first time we came here.

This place is the best authentic Mexican place I've ever been to. They are so kind and give you such a good deal for what you get. I only paid about $17.50 for a drink and my three tacos. They also give you free home made corn chips Every time you eat in. If they don't have the self serve sauces available they will give it to you in containers. I've been here with my boyfriend so many times and it never disappoints me. The food is always high quality. The pink building and colorful environment is different but very authentic. They won't even let you clean up after yourself if the owner is there.

Closest thing I've found to real Mexican food in the Lehigh Valley. I'm here from Los Angeles and I was craving real tacos. Not the white boy tacos you find everywhere else. Very good.

My husband went by for takeout, and it was one of the best Mexican food we had in a long time, everything was fresh, hot, delicious and my husband said the service was quick and they were very friendly, we will be back for more good food and will highly recommend to family and friends.

This review is based on the Enchiladas Poblanas, bc I happened to order it first and it was so good I have repeated it 4-5x. I've not found a Mole sauce this good anywhere this side of the Rockies (lived in Southern Cali for a couple of years and there were 1-2 places there that could rival it). The rice and beans are perfect as well. I don't know the owners, but this seems to be an old school family-run establishment. Bottom line: I'd argue this is best Mexican you'll find in Lehigh Valley, maybe in PA overall, and beyond. Don't hesitate. (And get the Enchiladas Poblanas.)

Stopped here for gas, and ended up finding this amazing gem. Maybe the best tacos we've had outside of California since we moved. Sort of out of the way, next to a park, but the tacos and the home made corn tortillas were a real win. If you're in the area or driving through, do yourself a favor and stop. Also, as a side note, there is a tree outside with some kind of nut on it, and people kept driving up, eating them and then moving on. We didn't inquire.

One of the best little Mexican spots I've been to in the Lehigh Valley. It's a hidden gem by Jordan Park (not the greatest location, I know). But the food has been so consistent and they are always so nice. Will always recommend this little spot!

This is our go to place after hockey and gymnastics. Food is always good and everyone is super friendly. Definitely recommend trying it out if you want good Mexican food.

The place is definitely authentic Mexican food. However, it was missing some flavor. I asked for veggie tacos with cilantro and onions and didn't get the c&o. The tostadas were good but didn't have guacamole. I guess is not safe to assume that it will have guacamole just because it's "vegan". So overall I wish for more vegan options than what I customized. The drinks didn't disappoint. Authentic jamaica and tamarindo juice. Horchata is my favorite but it wasn't there.
Authentic amazing mexican food and especially for around this area! Ordering was easy and simple. And the food was just amazing if you want authentic Mexican food i highly recommend trying this little place out!

An authentic place with Bose speakers. The pozole was the best. Nice bright colors. The location is in an industrial area but don't let that hold you back.

This place has changed for the worse in my opinion. The portions are smaller while the price has increased.

Amazing to find such authentic mex food so far from So Cal. Hawaiian pork tacos aka el Pastor the best!

Another strip mall fast feeder that I stumbled into by way of a happy accident. It doesn't look like much but punches way above their weight. Excellent tacos, really tasty enchiladas and a very American cheese omelette if authentic Mexican fare isn't doing it for you. No heat lamps here, everything is fresh and ready in a flash. Don't be scared of a little strip mall, El Jalapeno may make your day. It made mine. An easy five stars.
