    burrito mojado con carnitas y salsa verde

    Would love to emphasize. Food is PHENOMENAL and is always big portions for a surprisingly good price. You literally can't ask for more. Everything I said before still reigns true- the service is quick (I just got my food in about 10 minutes) and the workers are polite and very accommodating. Also, the homemade chips as well as the horchata are both very tasty- the horchata in particular might be one of my favorite drinks ever. Still remains as one of the best Mexican places I've been to overall.

    Falutas. I got three. One with beef, one pork, and one cheese. Pretty good.

    I've been to Chicano's numerous times over the years and they do make some great authentic Mexican food. It's not my favorite Mexican spot in Scranton but it definitely rates near the top. Their Spicy Pork Tacos are tasty and have a nice amount of pork. The tortillas are always warm and soft. Their Falutas are good and definitely a must try to mix things up.

    Looks like a house from the outside & was likely converted into a restaurant. Wasn't very busy inside on a Sunday afternoon (weird time in-between lunch & dinner) but can tell they do mostly a lot of to-go pick up orders. Food was excellent, definitely authentic Mexican home made everything from the chips & soft tortillas to everything inbetween. Prices are also excellent! Found it in a yelp search when another Mexican place was closed on sunday's but parking here was more convenient anyway. Visiting the area for a college tour and so happy we found this place would definitely come again if we're in the area!

    Plato de carnitas!

    After a disastrous dining experience at Don Pancho Villa and an unexpected extra night stay I decided to try out this place. Well happy to say was not disappointed. Coming from Jackson Heights, Queens were Spanish is king I certainly know about authentic Mexican food. I ordered the plate of Carnitas and they came out PERFECT! Nice and moist just how I like them. Together with the Aqua de Jamaica, which tasted much better then when I make it at home :( my meal was perfect. Now the only thing bad and it was mentioned in another review is that this place serves no sour cream. I run into this issue once in a while at an Mexican restaurant and I just don't understand it... gringos like sour cream just that simple... Also the chips while ok could be better a bit bland not much flavor. The salca was nice and picante; no issues there... On my next trip to Scranton would certainly eat here again... :)

    That's quality Chuletas.

    Always good and simple Mexican food and one of my favorite spots in Scranton. Friendly service, interesting mix of customers and very good prices. They're closed on Mondays so you have been warned! Today I ordered a new dish from here, Chuletas a la Mexicana, and it was as good as any I have had elsewhere. The cooks get the grilled chops tender but still cooked through. Real Mexican Coke is a bonus! So try it out and I don't think you'll be disappointed.

    Sopes with pork. Pretty good!

    I would say this place has pretty decent Mexican food for Scranton, but it is by no means up to par with what you get in CA. Just overall, our food was bland and lacked flavor. We really don't have any REAL AUTHENTIC Mexican restaurants in this area, so I feel like this is the best we're going to get. Yes it was a lot of food, tasted decent, satisfied my Mexican food craving, but I was not at all impressed. I'm from CA and there are hundreds of Mexican food restaurants, food trucks, and taquerias in each town, they simply offer better food, more flavorful salsas, and unique real authentic dishes (like fish baked in banana leaves for example). Call me a Mexican food snob, I just know good Mexican and the food I ate today was okay.

    This place is super small but the food is good. It's what I think is close to authentic Mexican food.

    Good Mexican food. The mole is exceptional. I wish they had black beans! TV is sometimes a distraction.
