I had the spicy shrimp and the meals come with red rice refried beans and salad . Not all their food is spicy. There is something for everyone even the kids. My mouth is watering writing this review.

    “We had a very nice experience at Wonder on High Pointe Blvd in Harrisburg. While the concept seems geared toward takeout and delivery, the dining area is modern and comfortable. Ordering is done entirely through the app or self-service kiosks. The app may be quicker since there are only two kiosks. Valeria, our hostess, went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly and checked in on guests throughout the visit. The menu offers an impressive variety of options. My burrito was very fresh, delicious, and arrived within just a few minutes, faster than the app had estimated. My friend ordered several items, which took a bit longer, but the wait was still reasonable and well worth it. She was very happy with her food. What stood out most was the level of hospitality. Although the restaurant operates with a digital model, it never felt impersonal. In addition to Valeria’s attentive service, the manager/chef came out to greet guests, answer questions, and make sure everyone was having a good experience. Overall, Wonder does a great job combining convenience, food quality, and genuine customer service. We'd gladly return.”

Each taco has a whole portion of high quality fillet topped with fresh tangy salsa, and the crunch from the radish and cucumber makes it perfection. Comes with an additional salsa of various spice levels but I don’t even think it needs it. Authentic simplicity done right.”

And then go a second time cause my husband asks for it when I leave work. Says the food i bring back from this one specifically is put together way better than others!

That was the very first times I had ever had guacamole! Big fan ever since! Today we visited with our service dog in tow, and they were extremely accommodating and immediately brought him a foil bowl and 2 servings of fresh cold ice water. Thanks! We visited on a Friday at 4:30 and enjoyed $5 margaritas on happy hour and free chips/salsa. For dinner we selected the slow cooked beef tacos and they were delicious. Service was excellent and server was efficient and polite. Lots of free parking and clean bathrooms. Small bar area and very large indoor and outdoor seating areas. Patio is a well behaved and service dog friendly. Highly recommended.”
