14 Best Mexican Restaurants in Scranton

“The service is EXCEPTIONAL. The food is delicious. The tortillas and tortilla chips are so fresh, the queso and guacamole is second to none and did I mention the service? Hands down the best.“

“I was nearby visiting my wife in the hospital, and I remember seeing some young man wearing a Chicanos t-shirt near my house which is about 1.5 hours away.
So I decided to go by and get a couple of items to go and eat them when I got home.
By the time I got home it was really late, but I decided to taste everything anyway and it was absolutely fantastic!
Much better tasting than I was expecting and they were very generous with everything and their portions.
I got the pork posole, which came with a couple of bean tostadas! To my excitement and surprise! And the Posole?
Was both chicken and pork cooked into the stew, but here you have to choose whether you want to have pork or chicken. So this is something I was not used to and I thought I was going to be disappointed.
Having chosen pork, when I rewarmed it the next morning I was unbelievably surprised at how fantastic this was, easily some of the best posole I've had in a decade!
A carne asada burrito, which came with chips and salsa.
And I remember thinking to myself when I picked up the burritos oh my gosh this thing is really a big burrito! I haven't seen a real size burrito since I left the West Coast in 2010! ? The taste was absolutely fantastic and it even had grilled jalapenos in it which just kicked the flavor up another notch!
Not to be not to sound arrogant, but this Salsa was so good, it was like if I made it myself, super fresh! ?
I have to say my favorite thing was the chorizo tacos!
Anyone that grew up with real Mexican chorizo and knows what they're exactly it's supposed to taste like and these tacos absolutely did!!
Chicano's, Let me know if you guys sell your t-shirts, cuz I would absolutely and gladly wear one all over! I need a size XL! ?
Great job, cocineros! Muchas Gracias!“

“Excellent food, service, and in general the owners are great company.“

“Excellent homemade & authentic Mexican food. We stopped by around 2:45pm, and the food was amazing. Mixed meat tacos on corn tortillas, and sopes. The side sauces that came with the meal were superb. Perfectly sweetened horchata as well. On our way out, we grabbed one of the pastries —- pan de leche (?)— reminded of an egg custard meets pound cake meets cheesecake. We will come back again soon.“
