Wow wow wow. Beautiful and now wow so yum!!I ordered the beef fauta (I may have misspelled that) and it was yummy! The salad that came with it was light and refreshing. The fautas were so good. First time ordering from here and not the last. Give it a try. It's worth it. Something for everyone. read more

Aqui Es - Such a beautiful plate. Gonna get all up on that now. - Mexican Near Me - Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

While most places seem closed on Mondays, we have Aqui Es open :) This is your authentic place for "street" tacos....and I'm all about it! Went with the Chicken Fajitas Tacos special which comes with rice and beans.....loved it! My bride ordered the Chicken Quesadilla and she commented on the great taste of the tortilla... however, it didn't have much Chicken - especially compared to my tacos at the same price. Very clean and fairly large dining Area. Very friendly service! read more

I enjoyed my burrito, the chorizo was good. The only reason I gave 3 stars was because the tacos. The carnitas were very dry, I was expecting juicy and more flavor. Idk if I'll be back. This was my first time trying your spot. read more

We have been wanting to try this for a long time and finally did today. What a letdown, completely overrated Tacos lacked flavor, they were average at best. Much better authentic tacos elsewhere in the LV. And the employees were not very pleasant. read more

Our family all agree that this is the best Mexican food restaurant in Bethlehem, PA. We are here to visit Bethlehem every Christmas time. And this is the must eat place for us. We have been here continuously for last five years! The food is phenomenon, authentic, fresh and delicious! The owner is so friendly and welcoming. We enjoy all the food in the menu, we have tried all types of tacos, burritos, and nachos, highly recommend corn nuggets and Birria taco!! But you can't go wrong with anything, I promise! And the environment is so cozy and clean! Please come and enjoy like our family! read more

Food and servicer were great ! The owners were friendly and accommodating and were eager to make sure we enjoyed the food .

When visiting my parents we ended up grabbing take out from Aqui Es. I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. I ended up getting the Al pastor quesadilla and it was so good! Not overly greasy which is usually my complaint when getting quesadillas. Portions size was great for the cost. read more

The prices have OVER doubled the past few years, DOUBLED!! Tacos used to be $3 a piece now they're over $6! They're skimping on the meat. Everything else follows suit as well. Sad. The food is good but not worth spending over double for less! read more

Food was horrendous! Worst Tacos I ever had. I got Taco Al Pastor and the Pork had no flavor. Normally Taco Al Pastor is very juicy w pineapple flavor mixed with a juicy and flavorful marinated pork but this spot didn't have that. Also the limes are not fresh but instead cut from the night before. I tried to squeeze them on my tacos, and NO LIKE JUICE CAME OUT because they were dry. It's not hard to cut limes to order to keep them moist and fresh. My wife got the chicken tacos and they were extremely dry and hard to chew. Its not hard to cook a chicken half way during prep, cut, and the. have them sit in a slow mole sauce so by the time they are ready to use per order, they are moist and full of flavor. Also they added a big chuck of radish that looked dried out to be old. Listen, if i have to teach you guys to cook - I can. Cut radishes julienne or sliced fresh in the mornings and put it in a salted water container and serve them per order either on or on the side of the tacos. This will help with your wilted radish problem. Lastly, I also got the steak burrito and tried it after my disappointment with the tacos and it was poorly put together. The flavors did not flow or complement each other. It was like they just threw meat, lettuce, cheese, rice, and beans together, and hoped it would do the job right. Listen - make a pico instead of just throwing tomato slices in it, make a chihuahua cheese and cheddar blend, and give the burrito some love, because there are tons of other places that show burritos love vs this place. Don't spend the money here. read more

Aqui Es is fantastic. Super unassuming from the road but trust me there is not much better than this by the way of Mexican in the Lehigh Valley. You order at the counter when you come in and then there is a fantastic seating area up some stairs in the back. We have had a number of different tacos including chicken, beef, vegetarian, and pork. All are amazing! All of the orders are cooked to order when you arrive. The guac is super creamy and the chips are crunchy! Love everything about this spot! read more

Been going here for the last 6 years and they have the best tacos in the area. Always fresh!! Everyone is so nice they walk you thru what's on each taco and they actually listen to what you want. Place is clean and very authentic. read more

Amazing portions! Prices were definitely higher than before but still affordable. Fish tacos were $3.75, so I ordered 3. My boyfriend ordered two steaks and one al pastor taco. We topped it all off with a side of sweet plaintains ($2.50) and two drinks. The food took roughly 20 minutes but the small shop has a couple of seats, which was nice. The store also had an ATM as it was cash only. The fish was a bit disappointing. The portions were big but it tasted like frozen fish filet, the ones you get in elementary school. I would give it 3/5 mainly for the size of the taco itself. The steak taco was also a bit on the dry side of things. Ended up drenching it in sauce which made it pretty good. The al pastor is 5/5. Very tender and juicy!! Highly recommend! The plantains were very sweet but a bit too mushy. It was around 4-5 pieces for $2.50, not sure if it was worth it. Great service which made the experience better read more

We ordered 3 Green tamales and 3 tamales de Rajas. Both were good, however we were expecting more of a kick. They weren't as spicy as we expected, but not bad. My husband asked for esquites and the owner said he didn't know what it was, but when I asked later on and he said yes. Didnt like that part, but over all delicious. read more

10/10 the chicken and steak tocos are amazing!! Their corn is also very good if you like street corn! I would recommend this place to anyone! read more

Wow. Hands down the best burrito I have ever had. Yes ever! I have been to many places in this country and this little hole in the wall managed to blow my mind. Fresh ingredients is where it starts. Chicken cooked fresh to order. The grilling on the outside of the burrito gave it a crispy texture that balanced out the burrito. Sauces are great as well. Nice staff - give them a shot - you'll thank me later. read more

Very tasty tacos for the cheap! Would definitely recommend. There's no seating available and CASH ONLY, but you there's an ATM inside that you can use for cash. I tried the fish, chicken and al pastor tacos all were very good! I had a spicy salsa on the side And I wish it definitely brought the heat but wish it was a little more flavorful. Still, I would get the exact t same thing again! read more

Aqui Es - three tacos in a styrofoam container - Mexican Near Me - Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

The food is so good here, and the owner and staff obviously take pride and what they do.

If Juan is behind the grill, you're in for a treat (and he's seemingly always working - take a day off Juan!). Great food. The chorizo burrito is my go to. But the quesadillas and tacos are fantastic as well. read more

Amazing quality and price and the workers were also very nice. Highly recommend this place

Best mexican food in the lehigh valley! Highly recommend the Birria tacos with their hot salsa

What a find. We were here to a number of different reasons, but Mexican food was definitely not on that list. The store front is tiny but you get to see the army trained rows of taco tortillas lined up on the grill as you enter, and a possible sighting of the jumbo burrito grilling on the other grill. There are small seats in the front with a window bar facing the outside taco-less world. Ordering is pretty quick and the menu can seem overwhelming. I got the carne asada and the chicken peach tacos...My SO got the jumbo burrito. We were seated in the back upstairs room where there was more seating and saw that Vanilla Ice had visited. The wall decor is obviously reminiscent of a beautiful home country and our order was out in about 10 15 minutes on a busy Sunday night. The jumbo burrito is about the size of two burritos...For 10 bucks and 2 meals, it's a damn good deal. The special part is their burrito itself is grilled, so the outside isn't this gooey piece of flour. It holds up very well. The tacos....Can't complain. Some of the best I've tasted in the new England area. (Mid atlantic?) Damn good. Please try...It's seriously got me drooling thinking about it. read more

Absolute perfection! My first visit today and it certainly won't be my last. Tuesday's as far as I can tell you can get three chicken or beef tacos for $6. These were the best I've ever had. Can't wait to try more items from their menu. Staff incredibly pleasant and we very welcoming. Will 100% be back soon--and often. read more

This is our second time and first time back during covid. My family pulled up on rainy Sunday noon and we ordered variety tacos and just went to town in our car... 5 of us ordered 16 tacos chicken, pastor, tongue, carnita, chorizo, fish they were all fantastic. Lady even came out to give us more napkins and at the end a gentlemen came out to see if we wanted to discard garbage!!! Lol. I love them. read more

Food is really good!! The nachos is a meal in itself! Burrio tacos where decent. Their pastor is good! Churros was good too! I'd order ahead if possible. Waiting outside too awhile. Not much room inside! Not sure if their is indoor dining before Covid but none now. Def a take out for now! Really tasty food! read more

Really disappointed! Prices have gone up by 50% in just a few short months! The last time I was here three shrimp tacos were $7.50. Now just a few short months later, they are $11.25 for the same three shrimp tacos. Owner blames food prices. Absolute bull pucky! Says that seafood prices are going through the roof. I shop at ShopRite in Bethlehem once to twice a week. I purchase lots of seafood for my menus. Seafood has not, repeat NOT, gone up by 50% at all! Shrimp prices are the same at ShopRite now that they were two years ago. This is just nonsense and greed in my opinion. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. But I'm not experiencing any where close to 50% increases in food prices where I shop. Sorry to say, this was my last visit to this establishment. Way too expensive now! read more

I had an excellent experience with the take out here. I had a fried steak Torta (sandwich) and it was great. Fresh avocado, refried beans, mayonnaise and all the trimming on a great roll. I also had El Pastor tacos (marinated pork and pineapple). The were terrific, full of flavor and a great portion of meat. I had the chorizo tacos which were also excellent with a fine portion of meat. The tacos were packaged three to a box. They provided me with three complimentary sauces. They could have easily charged me for these delicious sauces: salsa verde, a red chipotle sauce and an avocado/ cilantro sauce. The service was excellent and expedient. They really made a point to turn out the food quickly. They also have a great selection of Mexican sodas. read more

I will make this short. Tasteless white flour chips. Horrid Pace like salsa. Terrible customer service experience. No greeting when I arrived... no smiles... no thank you. No niceties... just a bored looking woman who took my money. Good quality chicken in the chicken tacos, however there was no indication of any marinade used so it was essentially flavorless. All I really tasted were the packaged corn tortillas. The abundance of positive reviews for this place indicates to me only that there is a lack of good quality Mexican restaurants in the Lehigh Valley. I found Mexico Lindo to be much better for chicken tacos. They use a great marinade and it has a ton of flavor. Plus, the people are very nice there and appreciate my business. So, bad chips, bad salsa, bad customer service. Mediocre tacos. No reason to return. read more

Aqui Es - Nice presentation of mediocre food - Mexican Near Me - Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

A good Mexican restaurant with authentic Mexican flavors. Coming from California with so many great Mexican restaurants, taco trucks and taquerias, I'd have to say..."Aqui Es" is as close to the authentic Mexican flavors that I'm used to as can be around here. Their shrimp taco is currently my favorite. Their steak burrito is great too. The steak tacos and chicken are a little overcooked and dry at times, so it's a hit and miss. I have yet to try the rest of the menu but will update as I go. Overall, I really enjoy the foods here. "Gracias" for bringing the authentic Mexican flavors to this part of town. read more
