EL BUEN AMIGO mexican italian restaurant and tortilleria

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.

Ive had a lot of authentic Mexican food and this place is the best by far. Everything was cooked and seasoned perfectly. The queso was so fresh that it had a cheese pull. The prices were also fantastic with big portions. Will definitely be back

Their Birria tacos are the best I’ve had in this area. The corn was also delicious. I highly recommend!

Good place for breakfast with the family.

Originally from Texas lived in east coast 81/2 years, my favorite meal is street tacos, hot sauce and Mexican Coke nothing better than that combination. This place ranks with the best I have had, the food was awesome the service is great the staff and environment was pleasant. Finding a good taco place is tough, this is the 2nd place I have found which I can honestly say I look forward to going back; In Scranton it is definitely El Buen Amigo, in NYC it's Los Tacos #1 both are Top on my list. Check it out and enjoy.

The birria tacos are absolutely delicious, tender, flavorful meat, and the broth for dipping takes it to the next level. I also can’t get enough of their crispy nachos with salsa. And then there’s the guacamole—fresh, creamy, and full of flavor. Service is good and welcoming. Next time will be for the pozzole soup.

Delicious Mexican food, although parking is somewhat confusing, this is the place of you want really good Mexican food. So far I haven't been disappointed, and it takes quite a bit to impress me when it comes to Mexican food, very flavorful and their salsa's are delicious. I've never tried their Italian food but the Mexican is certainly delicious. Although it may not seem very fancy it's one of my personal favorites. The food is very worth it.

The food was excellent! The rice was different, in the best way, than other Mexican rice I've had. The atmosphere was so welcoming and comfortable and the service and was fantastic. And finally, the prices are very reasonable! I would 100% recommend this place if you like Mexican food. I think this is my new favorite place here in the Scranton area.
