Hole in the wall but great food. Small menu and good authentic Mexican. Empanadas, Tamales, and Burrito and green Chile sauce were all better than American-Mexican places.

Asada burrito and chorizo and pastor street tacos. Incredible! This is coming from a Mexican from CA. Exactly what I'm used to back home!

Such an incredible hole in the wall! I'm a Mexican from California and this is the real deal. I highly recommend this place if you want authentic Mexican food!

Best guac ever

Okay, so you know how if a restaurant is in a sketchy part of town, and the outside looks kind of shady, you usually avoid it? I'm glad I went inside. BEST MEXICAN FOOD EVER I'm not joking. Place is 100x nicer inside than outside. Food is made in front of you and the waiter/ cook are super amazing & friendly. I got a chicken burrito with the red sauce and Jesus Christ on a cracker it sent me into another galaxy. It danced a tango with every single taste bud, and not a single one was left unhappy. The chicken was super juicy and flavorful, the rice was perfectly seasoned and cooked, lettuce and cheese fresh, and the tortilla was soft and beautiful. The guac is also amazing. The perfect amount of lime and garlic, and they leave the pit in the bowl. I'm assuming they do this to show you it's fresh even though they make it in front of you. Seriously, go in! Everything is 100% authentic and the tacos are TO DIE FOR.

Carna Asada taco

Total hidden gem!! Only reason I'm giving four stars is because of the parking. The service was pleasant and attentive. The food was made fresh and authentic. I'm so happy I found a small piece of Mexico in Scranton!

Guacamole - made in house to order. Very good.

The absolute best authentic Mexican food in the area. As other reviews have stated, it doesn't seem like you're in the right place when you first arrive. The outside is very drab and underwhelming, as is the interior. The tables are tiny and a mish-mash of heights. A long lunch counter with a cooktop at the end runs the length of the left wall 1950s style. The menus are simple flyers that you would typically see offered for take out. Don't let this fool you, its the real deal. Brought a bottle of decent tequila with us since it is BYOB and upon seating us, they offered us margaritas. We weren't sure how this was going to work but we ordered a round and they took my bottle. Margaritas came back after being blended, which I typically dislike, but they were incredible! All of the food is legit. Nothing frozen or mass produced. The tacos were all great (the al pastor was my favorite), the guacamole was made to order and included the pit, the green salsa was HOT, the tamales were fresh and hand made. No complaints from anyone in our party. Prices were incredibly low, $1 tacos all day every day! Can't go wrong. Defintely coming back again.

Delicious tacos with green sauce!

I am highly impressed! Met up with some other yelpers in the area and decided to give this hole in the wall a try. Damn. What a fabuloso mexican eatery. Not much to look at when you walk in. Looks like a typical diner. Seats along the "bar" per say. Tables along the other side. Bathrooms usually say a lot about a place. It was decorated pretty cute. Looked clean. What was odd though, there were two faucets. One hot and one cold. Usually one faucet with a hot and cold nozzles. The menu is simple. I chose two soft tacos. One with Mexican sausage and one with steak. Oh deliciousness. Nice touch with cilantro. When I ordered, I asked for guacamole. Well, they interpreted that as the appetizer. It's a large portion. Even comes with the pit. Also comes with a touch of cilantro. Alcohol is NOT served here so bring your own! Bring a bottle of tequila and they whip up the best frozen margaritas. They provide the mix and triple sec. Perfect consistency. I believe there's a fee of like $2.00 to make and serve them? P.S. they charge $2.00 for a glass of water (and it's not bottled).

Im always on a hunt for the best tacos and spanish food around, any time I'm in a new area. This are the best Ive had so far around Scranton. We had the steak fajita platter that came with steak, yellow rice, frijoles liquado, and tortillas. I also tried the chicken flautas and a beef empanada with an order of churros for dessert. Everything was great, very well seasoned. The red hot sauce is the best. And the churros were filled with dulce de leche. I will be back again.

She made the fresh guacamole right in front of us! And everything else...

What a fantastic find! Thanks fellow yelpers! Honest, simple Mexican food: tacos, enchiladas, burritos- the kind you find on a street cart in Mexico City- love it!! It's a dive- be warned, no table cloths; its a family place- so cousin Javier may come in through the back door with his kids; its fresh simple food, so leave your silver spoon at home. Recommended to people who love food, not just 'dining'.

I have had mole in lots of places across America and this is by far one of the best. Not to mention some of the freshest mango juice I've ever drank. Being the fact that they have BYOB makes it nice if you don't want to have alcohol, but if you do you can bring your own. The place was very clean staff was very nice and accommodating and I highly recommend the guacamole.

Spicy shrimp, was great!

Tasty authentic Mexican fare. Almost exactly like Chicanos (Scranton's other authentic Mexican restaurant) but less greasy.

Are they open for indoor dining yet? I love their food but I don't go there much anymore because I'm tired of eating in my car.

Tasty spot. One of my friends got me some tacos from here when they initially opened. Immediately…read morethought they were some of the best tacos in Scranny and had to experience some of their other flavors. I had a long day at work and did not feel like making dinner so I decided to grab a classic plate of enchiladas for takeout. Never really had enchilada like this but they were some of my favorites. Very rich red sauce. Well-cooked and tender chicken that had the perfect bite every time. The cheese was light and profuse. I finished the entire meal in one sitting although realistically this could feed 2 ppl. Although they could be misconstrued as sidekicks, the rice and beans were the star of the show. They were incredible and savory. I may just get these if I were alone.

Traveling on business from Detroit, thought I'd give this spot a try after reading Ryan K's review…read more When the housemate tortilla chips hit the table, I knew I was in the right place. I ordered the same thing, Enchiladas Roja. HUGE plate of food and everything cooked to perfection. The beans are the best I've tasted, the rice fluffy and light. The enchiladas stuffed with tender braised chicken, topped with cojita cheese and a bit of basil. I shouldn't have, but I ordered a Tres Leches Cake slice for dessert with coffee. Coffee was black and strong, the cake tender and lush. Amazing food, eclectic decor, great service. Great place. I will be back.
