30 Best Mexican Restaurants in Reading

“Holy guacamole!!! The food is absolutely amazing!! I had the shrimp taco salad and hubby had the tacos! My goodness it was so delicious! Both the ladies working were so kind! I loved that they had music playing but it wasn’t blaring like some chain restaurants! We will definitely be back!“

“We love Alebrije and go there frequently for a good meal! But had to share…we had our first catering experience with them since our daughter requested their fajitas for her birthday party! Everything was EXCELLENT! From the ordering process, accommodations, pick up, presentation, and of course the food was delicious! Just wanted to share for those that might not be aware that they offer catering, how GREAT of an experience it was! Thank you!!“

“Service was excellent, good was probably some of the best Mexican food I've had in the area! Definitely recommend this place!“

“My daughter loves this place! She goes all the time with family and they have unique tastes of ice cream! Ready for the summer cravings! 🥰🫶“

“So so so good! I grew up on authentic Mexican food, so I'm a bit of food snob. SO glad I found this little place. GO! You won't regret trying it, it's the real deal! 🙌“

“Good service, delicious food!“

“Today our server was YSARA, OMG the whole package, pleasant and knows her menu. Very attentive to us, making sure our drinks were replenished. Checking on our food. A very positive experience today. We don’t live in this area, moved away 8 months ago, but decided to stop by and wanted to give this Plaza Azteca a chance to redeem itself from a not so positive experience in July. Possibly that visit was an off day for them because today was what we are used to here at Mt Penn’s Plaza Azteca. YSARA was our server once before and she definitely needs to be recognized as an asset to your restaurant. Kudos to YSARA ?❤️“

“Wonderful service , really clean spot . Freshest fruit every time .“

“My husband and I just returned from a delicious, well-priced dinner at Norte Sur on Perkiomen Avenue in Reading. The portions were large, and the food was delicious. My husband had a burrito which took up the entire plate. I had a wonderful taco salad, and we shared sopapillas for dessert. The staff was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was relaxing and comfortable. We received free refills on our iced teas, and the total bill was less than $40. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Norte Sur, and am looking forward to returning soon.“

“This taco stall inside the Fairgrounds Farmer's Market was an eye opener; their guacamole was fresh and bright with a touch of heat. I also enjoyed their street corn. However I was slightly disappointed with their steak tacos. While the meat was tender it lacked flavor. I look forward to my second visit so I can try their enchiladas.“

“My family and I love coming here. Best I've had in the area or anywhere in PA! Me encanta los huaraches!“

“Todo es una gran familia te hacen sentir muy cómoda“

“Taqueria Jimenez Claimed Me and I’ll Never Escape

There are restaurants you eat at, and restaurants that claim you. Jimenez claimed me years ago and I have never once tried to escape.
The chicken huarache is my personal religion. The birria tacos are a flat-out revelation. Every out-of-town friend I’ve dragged here has gone silent on the first bite. That silence is respect. When visitors say “I don’t know what I’m in the mood for,” I don’t deliberate. I just drive towards Oley St. Then I point them toward the Horchata or the Jamaica and watch their entire worldview expand in real time. Also the music videos and telenovelas on either of the TV’s really make you feel like you’re just at your Tia’s house in Reading.
The seasoning operates on a level that feels personal. The staff will converse with you in English, entertain your broken Spanish, and quietly correct you so you actually walk away more fluent. That’s not just hospitality. That’s generosity.
Taqueria Jimenez and their staff are a pillar of this community and to me they are Mi familia(whether they know it or not) and have earned every ounce of those titles. If you haven’t been, go fix that immediately.“

“Wow, super happy I live near this place! So far this is my favorite spot in the Mt. Penn area. Ceviche mixto was delicious, and the special fried rice was truly amazing. The fried rice was better than the best Hibachi fried rice I have ever had! The provided sauces were awesome as well. Plantains were delicious, and the free appetizer, a sort of cold potato with sauce. Highly recommend!“

“Stopped in by reading for a family need. Saw this place and made the best decision to eat in. The food is amazing and delicious! I highly recommend this place! The most authentic place I've ever been to in USA ! I live exactly 4 hours away from Reading PA and I'll sure stop in every time I'm around! SE VALE CHUPAR LOS DEDOS!“

“Visited the Shillington location for takeout. The staff was very friendly, prompt with the service and were able to answer questions. Most of the food was delicious!!

“Play some pool. Was only a dollar per game which is very nice. To drink they have big fridges with what look like every kind of beer, mixed canned drinks including a zero alcohol option which is awesome. Of couse hard liquor aswell. Staff and security were very nice and helpful. Didn't try the food, but what I saw looked good. Fun environment with multiple TVs with different sports on and pretty chill which was nice for me as too loud of spaces can affect my anxiety. Now there's another room in the back which was definitely louder, but it didn't impact my time. The only real downsides for me was the dollar per song jukebox and the men's room wasn't the best. Usable, but not great. Definitely will check it out again.“

“I had a blast! Beautiful people wow ?. Dj Lobo on the wheels of steal great music every one having a great time small but boy it makes up with big lights and music. Security outside of the bathrooms for your security. The front door guy is a little too close for comfort ? but if it keeps us safe so be it. Great time will be back.“

“Thank you for the delicious lunch today!! I had the steak sandwich and fries. The sandwich was great! And the fries were just how I like em!! Thanks for doing what you do!“

“Newly constructed location very nice staff was friendly the only downfall is they took KFC out of it but no complaints, instructions were actually followed food portion was much better compared to other locations in the area way better than Wyomissing location thats for sure I highly recommend“

“I had Taqueria El Carreton cater our Staff Appreciation luncheon at Lauer's Park. I must say there customer service was awesome and their food was even better. All the teachers and Staff members were really happy.😊“
