50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Hellertown

“I have been coming here in Hellertown since it was just a little shop selling healthy, fresh, and delicious fruit drinks and teas. It recently expanded to include tacos, burritos, burrito bowls, and more! The food and drinks are all made with fresh, wholesome ingredients. Very nice portion sizes. The owners and staff are super friendly and accommodating. There is some seating inside and out. They were recently featured in a local food and sing magazine Edible Lehigh Valley! HIGHLY recommend!!“

“atmosphere was great, food was good. I miss this service since Moe's left. I wish their cheese sauce was better. homemade better, it was jarred. straight out of a can. I won't order that again but everything else was great.“

“If you know, you know. 🍰🥩🍸 La Maya isn’t just dinner — it’s a vibe. Nachos that slap, a horchata espresso martini that deserves its own fan club, and tres leches that should be illegal it’s so good. The branzino has a flavor that could take you into next year. Corn ribs, plantains and rosa tostada where the flavor just explodes in your mouth. Margaritas you will crave. Always treated like VIP, always leaving happy. The best servers, cooks and owners on this side of life. #LaMayaLove #MexicanDoneRight #VIPVibes“

“When I want Mexican food, I come here! It’s the best hands down authentic Mexican food!“

“The toasted almond burrito e (specify vegan or no dairy) is off the hook. The portions are really generous and the service is great. If you’re dining in, the space is on the smaller side so not great for groups of 4 . Updated from previous review on 2026-10-23“

“Delicious food and yummy homemade chips and salsa. Very friendly with good/quick service for lunch.“

“Quick service with fantastic food, with very friendly staff. I would love to eat here again!“

“First time eating here today we were just passing by on our way home thinking about having good lunch and order for to go as well.
We had tacos, mine was the special (with everything) pork al pastor hubby wanted the birria tacos but sadly they only had it for Friday. So he only had regular basic pork al pastor. Both were really good.
For to go I ordered chicken burrito (while I write this review my son didn’t have that burrito yet so I can’t say it’s good or not lol but I have faith that will be good), flautas was good, 4 tamales and bistec ala mexicana.
The bistec ala mexicana was with red tomato sauce all over I wasn’t expecting that. Usually when I order similar menu from different place it was just sautéed onions and grilled jalapenos on top and no sauce. Anyway the taste wasn’t that bad but the bistec was a bit thin and hard to chew.
All workers was friendly also price is reasonable.“

“We are so grateful to El Jefe’s for generously donating a catered lunch to our school staff during Staff Appreciation Week! Their kindness and willingness to give back to the community truly means so much. The taco bar was an absolute hit — fresh, delicious, and enjoyed by everyone! From start to finish, everything was seamless. Delivery was right on time, the setup was clean and organized, and the take down was effortless. Thank you, El Jefe’s, for helping make our staff feel so appreciated. Your support of our school community does not go unnoticed, and we highly recommend them for both their amazing food and outstanding service!“

“Absolutely phenomenal! This place was amazing!“

“This spot took me by surprise when I first visited. Literally one of the best Mexican food spots in town. I’ve become a regular ever since. Best prices. Best food quality. Just wish they were open till later since I get off of work at 6. They always close the kitchen at 5:30. Other than that. Best spot in town. Highly recommend!“

“If you want just authentic Mexican Food look no further LA Placita delivers from burritos to tacos to enchiladas with mole sauce and other Mexican dishes and soups and you have your choice of different meats to fill your choices with the green salsa is mild the red sauce is delicious but hot in a nice way this is more like a take out place though I believe they have a few tables in the back not recommended for big crowds looking to sit down to eat this is a hidden Gem 💎 Thank me Later“

“The food is always delicious. The employees are friendly and attentive. I would highly recommend LA Bamba to anyone looking for authentic Mexican food!“

“Heard great things about it…went there on 10/10/2024….and what I heard was so spot on! The amount of food was mind blowing! I got the Shrimp Po Boy sandwich with rice and my wife got a iburrito bowl….definitely enough for 3 meals! The taste amazing!!!! Can’t wait to go back“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Star Review

I am a regular customer, and I visited QDOBA Mexican Grill on Valentine’s Day evening. It was truly an incredible experience.

Maria, the Manager, and Kate, the Assistant Manager, made the evening very special for my love 😍 and my family. Their hospitality, warm attitude, and genuine care really stood out. You can clearly see when a team takes pride in what they do, and they absolutely do.

Just look at the picture. The bowls were beautifully presented and loaded with fresh ingredients, vibrant colors, generous portions, and amazing flavors. Everything tasted as good as it looks.

And let me say this honestly, everyone should try QDOBA at least once. I am confident you will forget about Chipotle Mexican Grill after experiencing the difference.

QDOBA offers:
• So many different sauces
• 2 types of queso
• FREE fresh guacamole
• More topping options
• Better value for the price
• Great quantity with excellent quality

When you compare price, quality, and quantity, QDOBA truly stands out. The overall value and variety are simply unmatched.

Must try at least once. I am sure after one visit, you will turn from Chipotle to QDOBA.

Highly recommended. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“I am beyond impressed, the food was delicious and perfectly seasoned! The service is fast! You order at the counter and can do to go or you can sit in their sitting area upstairs! Very cozy and super clean, I am not usually in this area a lot but I will be definitely be coming back often just for this restaurant! The portions are very big and I definitely recommend coming with an appetite! And they now accept card payments!“

“as soon as you walk in the owner will greet you. the quality of food is phenomenal, you do get your money's worth and then some. and the price is not bad at all for authentic Mexican food.“

“Just had an amazing authentic Mexican Lunch at Tijuana Tacos on 309 in Quakertown. I had the chicken flautas, my husband had their Birria Tacos. The consomme was on point!!! Both were exceptionally well prepared. They give free fresh tortilla chips with beans and queso fresco crumbles right as you sit down. They offer a really nice menu selection and the service was quick and personable! 5 stars!“

“Great food and service. Highly recommend.“

“great food especially tacos,sopes, and enchiladas verde!“

“Omg the food was amazing the service was exceptional and the prices are amazing. Our first time going and it won’t be our last the drinks are a plus too. You won’t be disappointed. This is a hidden gem the chicken soup is to die for.“

“I ordered door dash here for the first time and the enchiladas in red sauce were excellent!! Whatever they do to that red sauce had me slurping this meal down. I haven't really found authentic Mexican food like this since moving to Allentown from Philadelphia and have been trying a bunch of different places to get the right taste that I'm used to. There were 3 chicken enchiladas in spicy red sauce, and a side of rice and refried beans. The staff were very friendly that I dealt with on the phone with questions before placing my order.“

“This place is a great addition to Easton. I hope it’s getting the attention it deserves because it is so good! I got the birria tacos first and yummy! I got birria tacos from another place shortly after I had them from here and they did not compare.
The second time I had a chicken breast and rice and salad, the chicken was cooked really nicely and was a bigger portion than I expected. I can’t wait to try some authentic tacos next!“

“excellent service, excellent food, excellent drinks, casual, fun and friendly vibe. had my first visit here tonight and will 100% be returning!“

“We were here Sat. night, it was packed a line down the street. They handled the crowed like nothing, we had a big order and we had no issues, we got everything we ordered, the way it was advertised and pictured. Delicious, there was nothing that any of us could complain about. We loved everything we tried and we tried alot. If you have not tried this place you definitely have to, you wont be sorry. We drove 1 hr to try it and will definitely be back. So worth the drive. Excellent food and service. Best wishes!“

“Stumbled upon this gem on accident and will definitely be coming back to sample the whole menu (breakfast all day!!!). Food was super quick AND tasted amazing, all fresh ingredients. Very authentic and the owner is buena gente“

“Awesome tacos and service!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻“

“I'm traveling from Florida, I searched Spanish food near me. It. Didn't disappoint! This food is definitely authentic! And such a great surprise! When I went in it was dead, but people are sleeping on this place.
We got
- Mofongo, Pernil, fried cheese. (Sauces: garlic sauce, and ketchup mayo) so good.
-chicken strips +fries= the chicken is well seasoned.
In Tampa they would charge double for these plates and there would be lines out the door!
The only drawback, they didn't speak English, but we made it work! And I got exactly what I wanted! 💜“

“Fue algo muy apreciante tanto como el servicio y la comida 👍“

“Finally a delicious and authentic Mexican restaurant! My husband is originally from the Chicago area where taquerias are on every corner. His family is from Mexico so we are use to having homemade Mexican. Pancho Villa is exactly what we were looking for locally! Def our new go to! Highly recommend! You can’t beat the delicious homemade tortillas! Atmosphere is cute and service was excellent!“

“Had a shaky start…bar didn’t have most the tequila flights we asked for and was ready to leave.. but Rebecca, our server, went above and beyond and turned our day around… she got the manager to basically give us a private tasting…turned out to have a really fun day…thanks Rebecca!!!“

“I have eaten here several times and always have had an amazing experience. But if you need a place to host a private event go to Tacos y Tequila in Allentown. My friends and I threw one of our best friends a surprise birthday party and Tacos y Tequila went above and beyond. Edriana was my organizer she was so helpful especially with my 100 questions ?. Brandon is the manager he was so kind and attentive. We had two amazing servers by the name of Jose and Kayla. They were so kind and I hope to get them as servers again in the future. The food of course was amazing. They set a menu for you and your guest and everyone enjoyed everything. Their mojitos are also amazing. I definitely will use their services again.“

“breakfast, lunch, and dinner here is always fantastic. the huevos racheros is one of my favorites!“

“The food is premade, but still fresh. Much like another popular chain restaurant. The grilled chicken was okay. The roasted pork was a bit too salty, but very flavorful and moist. The portions are generous. Good option if you want something on the healthy side.“

“best Mexican restaurant in the valley!“

“I’ve been going there for years. LOVE IT! Authentic Mexican.“

“Very Good food with fast delivery !!! Great setting indoors and good energy! Definitely will return again and I recommend this restaurant to everyone. Shout out to our waitress Kayla.. Great job 🙏🏾“

“We ordered their taco bar for a birthday party! They supplied everything from the food to the toppings to the utensils and plates. Food was excellent! We will be using them again!“

“is the best place for entire world to eat, really Mexican food😋😋😋“
