Chicken Tacos
Shealyn M.

Some of the best mexican food in NEPA. I have been here plenty of times and it never misses. Portions are massive!!! Drinks are also yummy! Never had a bad meal here. These chicken tacos were great and filling. This is a go-to spot for me.

Likely 4.5 stars but rounded up to 5. Really excellent salsa and chips and mole sauce on my enchiladas. Service was prompt and the food came out quickly despite being very busy on a Saturday afternoon. For 3:30, this place was packed! Why? I guess the food is great and the prices very reasonable. It looks like this restaurant has been renovated recently, so the ambience has improved by looking at the older photos on Yelp! Much nicer now! Highly recommend coming here for your Mexican food fix while in Scranton.

The Loca quesadilla with chicken tinga and chips and guacamole
Mariam A.

I tried this place a bit ago and loved it! I thought this place was small but on the inside it is pretty roomy. It is a casual restaurant. Parking can be a bit tough. It took me a few minutes to find street parking, so be prepared! The service here was good! I have no complaints. The food is amazing and delicious! I feel like their portions are pretty big. I believe I ordered The Loca Quesadilla with chicken tinga and it was absolutely stuffed! It was crispy, seasoned well and delicious! The chips are not bad either. The guacamole is good, but it was pretty cold. I'm guessing their guac is refrigerated during the day. I believe my friend ordered fish tacos. She said they were great and had no complaints! Their menu is also big, they have many options to choose from. definitely can't wait to come back and try something different!

The Italo's burger
Juli K.

The first time I went to Italo's was on the recommendation of a friend. I keep going back because the food and service are impeccable, and it's just a great all-aroubd spot. When I go, I have to have their Spicy Bean Dip and their guacamole. The Spicy Bean Dip is warm and topped with a little bit of queso fresco. It's rich and gooey and I have dreams about it. The guacamole is fresh and chunky. It's not heavy on anything except avocado. Their chips are made fresh in-house, I think, and the complimentary salsa is medium spicy and delicious. I've had the empanadas, they're delicious. So are the fajitas. My frequent dining partner there is a weirdo who orders the GYRO on their menu, and he LOVES them. I also have to note that their burgers are beyond words yummy. They're huge, topped generously with great stuff and comes on a huge platter with crispy fries. The portion sizes on everything are super generous. HUGE The dining room is a decent size, it's not huge, but it's very clean and minimalistic but charming. The only negative is that there's no parking lot, but I have never had a problem finding street parking right by the restaurant.

Aztec platter missed out on the before pic it was so good
Euriese F.

Real talk the pic is unfair of what came to my table; I did not do it justice. It was so pretty by the time I realized no pic.. it was too late. date night dinner order the Aztec Platter- it comes on a sizzling mocajete with nopales(cactus) fresh spring sweet onions, cheese and sauce with 4 steak filets 4 chicken cutlets, chorizo ( which I never enjoyed until there) 6 shrimp, with Spanish rice, homemade tomato salsa salad, beans and tortillas- YOU WILL KOT BE DISAPPOINTED!! I missed out on the before pic

Tinga chicken fluatas with rice.
Janelle T.

I have now visited here twice while in the area and it's by far some of the best Mexican food I've had. The tinga chicken is flavorful and has a nice little kick. Plating of the dishes is very pretty, they use different style dishes depending on what you order. Their fresh made salsa is great, a bit thin and not overly loaded with pieces of tomato and onion, but again amazing flavor. My teen got shrimp tacos and they shrimp was huge and well seasoned. I got the flautas, comes with a side of rice. Super yummy and perfectly cooked. Service is amazing... attentive and friendly. Definitely recommend stopping here!

Fish taco
Desiree F.

I was in the mood for Mexican and gave this place a try. From the outside it didn't look like much but when I walked in it was a cool, spacious place. I sat at the bar and Pavell was my bartender. Um he was ok I guess, its just that when I asked certain things or didn't like something he would look at me like I was silly which wasn't cool. He is not the reason I am giving 4 stars. I ordered the sangria first and I didn't like it so I got the red wine instead which was good. I then went with the fish tacos and boy was it tasty. The sauce and ingredients were so good. I also enjoyed their chips and salsa. The bill was super affordable for all that I had as well.
