This is my favorite Mexican restaurant. The food is great and the woman is very friendly. I think they need more windows in the dining area. Not a big deal. Every trip here has been a pleasurable dining experience. Sundays are tamale days.

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!!! 💝

Really, really good food and lots of selections. I don't have the experience to know if something is authentic, but I first went here based on the recommendation of neighbors who did. Every time I go back, I'm equally delighted with the service and the food.
It's a colorful, cheerful venue with carry out or dine in options. You can ask all the questions you'd like and understand what your options are. The staff is pleasant and patient and happy to talk about the flavors of Mexico.

My family of 4 had a variety of dishes. The birria tacos, flaunts, tostada and quesadilla were great. We had a very nice and attentive waitress.

Excellent authentic Mexican food! It's a small place (parking in back) and we missed it once, but once we got in the place is great. Good music and decor, fast service and huge portions! Thank you!!

I was originally reluctant because from the pictures it looks a little fancy, and generally fancy taquerias don't really have what I'm looking for. I could not have been more wrong. I don't remember the last time I saw huitlacoche on a menu. Everything we had was entirely made from scratch, even the tortillas. I literally wish I could leave 10 stars.

El Buen Amigo Mexican Restaurant was outstanding. My family and I visited Scranton and decided to stop here. The parking is in the back, you walk in around the front. The food is so delicious that it should be priced higher. We had queso w/ chorizo and guacamole w/ chips. We had chimichangas, tacos, enchiladas, dobladitas. Every dish was excellent and we had a great time together.
