We headed over here for lunch after visiting nearby resort. After hearing about how this was a Boiling Springs historical staple, we gave it a visit. Unfortunately , it was very underwhelming, in food and in service. They were not accommodating with our young children, as no booster or high chair was available. We ordered "Mexican" food, but being from Texas, there was very little Mexican about it. The flavors were extremely bland. Taco salad did not include a protein, which for chicken was an additional $3.50. Steak would have been $4.50. Prices were steep for what it was. At least walking around the place was nice.

First and probably last time here... Didn't know how the seating and all worked so went inside to ask. Employee told us to go sit where we want and they would come out and give us menus shortly. Waited for about 10 mins and got tired of waiting so went back in for the menus. Got the menus and ordered. Food came out quick. I got Caesar salad wrap. Tasted cheap, the dressing tastes really cheap. If they would just get a better dressing the whole wrap would be better. The chicken in the wrap was too salty. But the chips were so bland and needs more salt. Iced latte was okay. Once we got the check, no one came back out to get the money. So once again had to go inside and pay. The servers and employees were nice but still not great service overall.

This is a small restaurant so could wait on a busier night for a table as they don't take reservations. The parking lot is attached to the side of the restaurant, there Is also a small outside area. The price point I think is a bit much for a Mexican restaurant. I got the sampler 101 for $17.50, I would have liked if the quesdilla that came with had meat in them, besides the quesdillas everything was very delicious. My fiance got the enchiladas nortenas for $16.50, he said it was good, however didn't feel well after eating it. I think ended with a caramel frappe for $6.25 which was pretty delicious. I'm not sure if I'd return the prices are pretty steep.

A little cluttered inside - "find your way to a table". Gotta navigate the oddly places seating in this old house. The prices are not cheap, but portions are generous, nice balance. Staff is a little aloof but super friendly and kind. Lots of drink and meal options ... eat inside or out.

Quaint eatery with a nice menu. The salad I had was hood but the dressing was a bit on the salty side. The young man that served me could have been better trained and more knowledgeable about the menu. I noticed a lot of people coming in for milkshakes which I did not try. The seating area outside was in high demand.

I've been here a few times now - sampling different items in order to find my 'go-to' dish...still looking;) Everything I've tried has been primo - on this visit I went with one of the wraps ...great again! Venue is terrific with a nice patio overlooking the lake across the street. Service has always been stellar as well. Note for first-time visitors, figuring out how to get seated is tricky ...currently you go inside to a counter near the kitchen to ask for your table. After that, it's pretty much smooth sailin' - wait staff has always been attentive albeit busy! There are a lot of great choices - may take a few visits to find your favorite!

It's Cinco de Mayo! What better way for a foodie to celebrate this day than by enjoying some…read moreMexican food. Unfortunately one of the Mexican restaurants in the area has closed down, and the most popular one was inexplicably not open (as least so said DoorDash), so I tried this one. Actually I visited this unassuming little place (think food truck fused into a building with a handful of equally unassuming indoor seating options) and the food wasn't bad, so I figured I'd try it today. It certainly beats Taco Bell! Actually it was pretty good. It was more of a 3.5 but until we can give 1/2 stars I rounded up to a 4 in honor of Cinco de Mayo! My favorite dish was the chicken tostada, followed surprisingly by the fish burrito. The chips were pretty nice. The "hot" sauce/salsa was disappointing because it was anything but hot - in fact more sweet than hot. I had a variety four pack of tacos but was a bit disappointed they were on soft tortilla shells when I hoped for hard shells. If there was an option it wasn't readily discernible. Lastly, the empanadas were solid but nothing special. This place is near Dickinson College and serves a vital role of food variety for the area. It's not special but it certainly is not a place to avoid. In fact, if you are in the area and craving Mexican, give it a try. It's more hit than miss and will leave you satisfied overall.

Highly recommended. The tacos were amazing. The cheese was to die for, especially that spicy guava…read moresauce. I cannot wait to go back to try more things. The decorations are so cute. We wanted to try the flan, but they were all sold out, which means it has to be amazing. I'll be trying it next time I am in the area. They are limited in seating, so I would recommend calling before hand if you would like to dine in.

Picture it: Friday. 4:45pm. Snow falling. 28 degrees. And me? Standing in a taco shack parking lot…read moredreaming of warmer days when I'm sitting at one of their picnic tables pretending I'm on vacation instead of actively battling Central PA winter. Because when the craving for real tacos hits, logic and weather forecasts no longer matter. First things first -- parking is easy. Big stoned lot right at the shack. Love that for me. Second thing -- and this is important -- Little Mexico Tacos is CASH ONLY. I learned this at the counter, which triggered an immediate wallet excavation worthy of an archaeological dig. My goal: secure enough funds for a chorizo burrito and street corn in a cup. I found a $20 bill and decided to live dangerously. Plot twist #1: they were out of rice. Brief emotional damage. Apparently rice is a key player in many menu items, but I pivoted like a seasoned professional because when tacos call, you answer. Plot twist #2: my total came to $20.14. FOURTEEN CENTS OVER. I braced myself for the walk of shame, but the guy at the counter waved it off like the legend he is. Sir, if you're reading this, I hope your pillow is always cool and your tacos are always perfect. Also elite-level move: at freezing temperatures, he told me to wait in my car and he'd holler when my food was ready. That's customer service with survival instincts. Let's set expectations: there is no inside here. None. Zero. This is an open-air taco shack. If the weather isn't nice, you're eating elsewhere... or embracing your inner feral raccoon and demolishing tacos in your car. Now for the important part -- THE FOOD. Street Corn (mild -- because I specifically requested "no spicy chaos"): Creamy. Tangy. Fully sauced. Not bland, not overpowering -- just perfectly balanced. Also served in a cup instead of on the cob, which means maximum efficiency and zero mess - WINNING! Chorizo Burrito: Absolute unit. Packed with just-the-right-level-of-spice chorizo, huge portion size, and -- surprise MVP moment -- the tortilla was lightly crisped instead of being a sad floppy wrap straight out of a bag. Half of this thing could feed a small village. I finished every bite of the meat like it was my job. Bonus green sauce situation included (avocado? wizardry?) that I fully expected to melt my face off -- but instead it was mellow and delicious and paired perfectly with the chorizo. Final verdict: Little Mexico Tacos is the real deal. No-frills setup, big flavors, generous portions, kind humans, and the exact kind of taco shack energy that makes you feel like you've unlocked a local secret. I will absolutely be back when the weather warms up so I can sit outside like a civilized human instead of a burrito-powered winter gremlin.

Still the best taco shop in the area. He makes Birria on Fridays and Saturdays. Delicious!…read more Note: Cash only

Worse still the owners do not respond to the issues their customers raise. However we thought we would judge for ourselves. The menu is very large, too large in my opinion as to how can everything be fresh. I had the carnitas at. $11.95. The roasted pork chunks were delicious, they had a crunchy bark and then tender. Nicely seasoned. It was served with rice, beans and a bit of salad. The rice and beans were good. I would suggest they serve the salad separate as with most take outs the dish needed a couple of minutes in the microwave. I would definitely reorder this dish again. We also had some chips and salsa that was good. I wish they had an entree or appetiser with chicharrones made from belly pork. I would be there every week if chicharrones was on the menu.

Salsa is different than what I'm used to being from the Southwest US but is good and not very spicy. Chips were fresh and made to order. Came out hot and delicious. The tacos. Now these are something special. Each one was absolutely delicious and perfectly simple just like street tacos should be. The meats and fish were seasoned to perfection, a very nice balance of acidity with lime, note: I added guacamole to all my tacos because I am not a heathen. Cilantro and a bit of onion. When I say they are good they are damn good. Nothing complicated or unusual. Just damn good tacos. Now these horchata. I asked the waitress how their chats was made before I bought it. If she would have not been able to tell me or not know I would have ordered some water or soda. Because horchata is dead easy to make but there is a single step a lot of restaurants skip. And that is the soaking of the rice overnight. And let me tell you, you absolutely can taste the difference. This place does it right. Made from scratch like your nana used to make at home. Perfectly sweet and creamy and delicious. Thanks for helping me enjoy a meal, Casa Mariachi. It was exactly what I needed.
