“Traveled through the area and got takeout based on the Google reviews, and we were not disappointed. Online ordering was so convenient, pickup was fast and easy, and the staff were very friendly. The chimichangas were absolutely delicious. We got them fried with chicken. We also got the 3 combo with enchiladas and tacos and preferred the chicken enchiladas. Our order came with a ton of chips and delicious salsa. I'm so glad we found this gem ? also so affordable! We will be back!“
“Authentic Mexican food — SO fresh! The salsa is amazing and there is a big variety of tacos prepared with traditional Mexican ingredients. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. I had several questions about some items on the menu I was unfamiliar with- I learned a lot! Portion sizes are very generous -including the $7 Happy Hour Margaritas, which are made with fresh squeezed lime juice. No mixers here! My husband’s comment when we first tasted our food: “they definitely don’t take short cuts here”. This is a great addition to downtown WB - can’t wait to go back!“
“Went to Wilkes barre for a concert and was craving Mexican food. The location looks a little suspect coming from the outside, but going in everyone was friendly. Super authentic Mexican food, friendly staff, extensive menu and everything was delicious. Salsas were all very good, which is awesome considering you get free chips while waiting for your meal! If I’m ever back in the area I’ll be back.“
“Love love coming here for some good quality Mexican food. I'm a big fan of the beef gryo and plantains. Beware there are not fast food prices so come ready to spend. There's outdoor seating available when the weather is warm Hours and Menu with prices as off Nov 2023 attached“
“I got food from here delivered off of Uber eats and I am so pleased with my order! The esquite was good and the birria tacos might be the best I’ve had so far. The only thing I would say though is that I wish the chicken in the flautas were a little more seasoned, otherwise everything was delicious!“

“I don't leave a whole lot of reviews but this place is above par. I am not one bit surprised all the reviews so far are 5 stars. I ordered delivery, they called to clarify a discrepancy in my order. Food was here in less than 30 mins and it was hot, fresh and so absolutely delicious! I feel like I just ate a home cooked meal that's been cooking all day. Highly recommend for great service, hospitality and amazing food“
“I’m OBSESSED with this place. Everything about it is top tier. The environment is so exciting, the food is amazing & Leah is the BEST bartender/server. She knows the menu like the back of her hand & she was the reason we came back two times this week. She brings the energy!!“
“Very nice place, the waiter was very good. He probably thought we were a bunch of morons, story for another time. My step son had a spicy burrito, he loved it. I had chicken enchiladas, the chicken was very good, the black beans also very good. My fiance didn't really like his tacos, but that's the first time he ate real Mexican food. We had to explain to him they don't make American tacos (that's what I call them) he said next time he'll try what I got. That's part of the reason why the waiter was very good, he was a happy and nice man. Prices were pretty good. For four of us, the bill was under 50.Kid-friendliness: Kids menuWheelchair accessibility: Yes wheelchair parking and wheelchair friendly“
“Simply Fantastic! The food, presentation and service were all excellent. Loved our hostess! The food is authentic, fresh, and we tried a new item called Sopes. It was delicious and I highly recommend. There were a couple of other new ones too. They are more than happy to accommodate requests for making the dishes vegetarian. Gem of a place!“
“I recently stumbled upon a hidden gem in Wilkes Barre that has forever changed my perception of Latin cuisine - a little cart that serves up the most mouthwatering arepas (not on the menu - $8 and it takes 8 minutes to make) and a wide array of Mexican delights. From the moment I took my first bite, I knew it was authentic. 99% of the customers are Hispanic, and you can also bring your beer and sip it while enjoying the food. They take credit card payments, and you can pay via apple pay, etc. This truck might not catch your eye at first glance, but believe me, it's a culinary treasure waiting to be discovered. These golden, crispy corn arepa pockets are filled with a variety of delectable ingredients that will make your taste buds dance with joy. Order only one because it's filing. The hot sauces that accompany the arepas are okay. Perhaps skip them. We had chicken arepas. They recently raised the price from $6 to $8 per arepa, and my Latin friends were not happy with the price increase but it does take 8 minutes to make them. Their menu features an extensive selection of tacos, burritos, and quesadillas (enough for two meals at $13 per quesadilla), all made with the freshest ingredients. Whether you opt for the succulent carne asada, the zesty al pastor, or the flavorful vegetarian options, you'll be treated to an explosion of flavors that will transport you straight to the streets of Mexico. While we were eating, several Mexican construction workers came for their dinner, as well as some white-non Hispanic patrons who came because the aroma of the food was amazing. Don't expect it to be a 5-star restaurant. As for the ambiance, it's a "hole in the wall." It's a place where the focus is entirely on the food, and that's exactly how it should be. If you're a fan of Latin and Mexican cuisine and find yourself in Wilkes Barre, you simply must try this place. And for those of you who don't speak Spanish, they speak fluent English.“
“I've had many wonderful meals at Casa Blanca. The staff is always very polite and professional. The food has always been fantastic! Whether I'm looking for Caribbean fare or a great steak, Casa Blanca has never been anything but a great experience.“
