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

Right after us, people poured in and the place filled up quickly, so clearly it's doing something right. We ordered a shrimp cocktail ($12) to start, one chorizo taco ($4), one shrimp taco ($4), rice and beans ($6), and an order of chilaquiles with beef, chicken, and a fried egg ($14). We also grabbed a Diet Pepsi ($3) and a mandarin Jarritos ($4). Somewhere along the way we ended up with two chorizo tacos and two shrimp tacos (and were charged for them), but we rolled with it and turned them into decent leftovers. The shrimp cocktail was huge -- served in what I can only describe as a glass milkshake cup. The shrimp themselves were good-sized, but it was mostly red sauce, so the dramatic presentation felt a little unnecessary. The shrimp taco was the standout -- really tasty and well-balanced. The chorizo taco was good flavor-wise but on the dry side and could have used some kind of sauce to help it along. Adventure Buddy was very happy with the chilaquiles, which came loaded with beef, chicken, and a fried egg. He demolished most of it, leaving zero leftovers and no regrets. The staff were friendly and kind and did their best to stay attentive as the restaurant got busier. All-in, after tip, we spent around $70 for a Friday night date night. That felt a little high for what we ordered, but the extra tacos did give us leftovers, so that helped soften the blow. Bottom line: this is a solid Mexican restaurant. Would I go out of my way to eat here? No. If I was in the area and craving Mexican food, would I come back? Sure. Nothing to shout from the rooftops about, but also nothing to complain about -- average, fine, and perfectly serviceable. Bonus points for plentiful free parking, since it's located in a strip mall.

More than twenty years later, I found myself back in Enola on a Friday night with one mission: find dessert. Specifically, I was hunting for peanut butter pie for myself and cheesecake for my Adventure Buddy. As I was trying to think of somewhere that might have both, the Squeaky Rail Diner popped into my head. I wondered if they still had the legendary dessert case I remembered all those years ago. Spoiler alert...they do! The moment I walked through the door, several staff members greeted me and offered to help. The dessert case was absolutely loaded with pies, cakes, cheesecakes, cannolis and just about every other sweet treat you could imagine. For this visit, I was only stopping in for takeout dessert, so this review is based solely on that experience rather than the diner's full menu. After a few minutes of what can only be described as an internal dessert debate, I settled on three slices to take home: peanut butter cream pie, classic cheesecake and Cinnabon cheesecake. The Cinnabon cheesecake practically jumped into the box on its own! The desserts were packaged quickly, checkout was easy and about $22 later, I was headed out the door with Friday night dessert secured. Later that evening, the official taste testing began. The peanut butter cream pie was good. Not life-changing. Not disappointing. Just a solid, acceptable slice of peanut butter pie. The classic cheesecake, unfortunately, was my least favorite of the three. It was noticeably dry, almost as if it had been sitting in the case a little longer than ideal. It certainly wasn't terrible, but it also wasn't one I'd order again. Then...we opened the Cinnabon cheesecake. Game over! Cinnamon roll on the bottom. Cheesecake in the middle. Another cinnamon roll on top. Whoever came up with that idea deserves a raise! It was rich, creamy, perfectly balanced and easily the standout dessert of the night. If someone told me they were making a special trip to Squeaky Rail Diner just for that cheesecake, I wouldn't question it for a second! Would I make another special trip for the entire dessert case? Probably not. Would I happily make another trip for that Cinnabon cheesecake? Absolutely! Sometimes all it takes is one exceptional dessert to earn a return visit.

Total came out to approximately $32 (not including tip). What's Hot - Menu. Good variety. The best part is they have breakfast all day. They have a section for seniors, kids, veggies, and possibly even a handful of vegan options (although it doesn't appear they have vegan cheese). They also have a small display of a good amount of desserts, like cakes and muffins. - Quality. Pretty good. My husband liked their blueberry pancakes, which were a good thickness. My Florentine omelette had a good amount of feta cheese and spinach. Hash browns were crispy on the outside and soft/tender on the inside. Their mozzarella sticks are pretty good, too! The texture is stretchy and gooey. Their marinara dipping sauce is seasoned well and tastes more than just tomato. - Service. On the evening we were there, we were the only customers, so service was pretty good. Their staff were pleasant and accommodating. - Price. Good value for money, especially given the portion sizes. - Location. Easy to spot from the road. There's also a decent size parking lot. - Layout. They have a good amount of booths and tables, which can probably seat between 4 to 8 people. What's Not - Quality. Hubby said his bacon was like wood. I thought it was crispy, which highlights the personal differences and preferences. I would've liked my omelette to be a bit more fluffy and thick, but it is a 3 egg omelette. It depends on your preferences. - Menu. It's a large menu and has a ton of options. Not the worse thing in the world, but it can take time to go through everything.

The breakfast quesadilla is incredible, and recently I started getting the breakfast burrito. Today I got the smothered breakfast burrito and it absolutely did not disappoint. Legitimately as good as any dedicated burrito spot I've been to as it should be given its a Mexican owned and ran establishment. What I love about this place is that it feels real. It's not trying to be trendy or overly polished like a First Watch or something. It has character. It feels warm, handcrafted, and genuinely cared for. The staff feels super tight-knit, and you can tell there's a lot of pride and love behind the place. I love seeing a Mexican-owned and operated diner doing their thing so well, especially one that feels this rooted in the community. They've also been refurbishing parts of the establishment over time, and it just adds to that feeling that people are actively investing themselves into this place. I can't speak for every item on the menu because honestly I keep ordering the same things over and over. but everything I've had has been fantastic. If you want character over class, comfort over trendiness, and genuinely great food, Yankee Doodle provides it in spades. 5 out of 5.
