14 Best Mexican Restaurants in Scranton

“First time here and the experience was AWESOME! The best mexican tacos I'd had in the east coast, much more for the Scranton area! Delicious food, well seasoned, quality of ingredients, presentation, prices and customer service are second to none! We felt like we were back on the west coast! They got us as permanent customers!!! 💝“

“The best! Fresh! Wonderful! Authentic!“

“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!“

“1000/100 amazing food and service breakfast was amazing 👏 pictured is 1/4 of what you get portions are huge and delicious 😋“

“I Had* been trying every single place within 50 miles of the Poconos, i even went to NY to try to find really good tacos, I have to say this is the best place you can go for real Authentic Mexican Cuisine this side of Philidelphia food truck tacos! I have since brought my family and friends and we can all agree this is the best place to eat in Scranton. Enjoy!“

“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.“

“I've been here a handful of times, and the food is always excellent. The dishes are full of flavor, and the ingredients are fresh. The staff are always really nice...many of them do not speak a lot of English, you just have to get creative with communication sometimes. They clearly know their stuff when it comes to the food. The atmosphere is great-the decor is really colorful and the restaurant is simple and clean. One of our favorite spots for going out to eat.“

“I was feeling sick and I asked if they can make a soup for me and they was very kind and made it for me with love and dedication. The chicken soup was delicious served with a rice side and tostones (fried plantains).I am very grateful and I really enjoyed it!“

“Comida 100% Mexicana los caldos el pozole el menudo las quesadillas ni se diga un pedacito de nuestro México 🇲🇽 lindo y querido Dios bendiga las personas que preparan esas delicias“

“growing up mexican the recipes taste exactly like how my mom used to make them, 1000/10“

“The owner made margaritas for us and they were delicious. No mix used, which is bizarrely a rarity in Mexican restaurants.

Had Al Pastor, Birria, guac, queso. Everything was very good. The Al Pastor and guac especially were A+ 10/10.“

“Great food and staff always very kind and friendly to customers. The food is always hot and comes in a timely manner. Taco Bell is by far one of the best fast food restaurants in America. They are a blessing and such a great convenience for taco lovers.“
