Miaa Mexican Bistro

Without a doubt, one of the best Mexican restaurants in the area. Here's the breakdown…read more Ambiance: 5/5 For a strip mall location, they absolutely nailed it. Walk in and you're immediately hit with great vibes -- Mexican style chairs, lights on the wall, great wall art and decoration. They put real thought into this place and it shows. And on mariachi nights? Absolutely lit. The band is so friendly, taking song requests, engaging with the whole room. It's just so dope. Five out of five. Service: 5/5 Never had an issue here. Not once. Five out of five. Food: 5/5 I have never had a bad meal at Rey Azteca. Not one. The food is consistent, delicious, and is exactly what you picture when you close your eyes and think of a great Mexican restaurant in Central PA. Overall: 5/5 Consistency is key, and Rey Azteca has it in spades. Great vibes, great service, great food. The best Mexican restaurant in the area and it's not particularly close. You cannot go wrong here.

My brother takes her out often and it's usually to a chain restaurant. Mom likes Panera, 5 guys and McDonald's - she's comfortable with these. Not a whole lot of surprises. I'm not a fan of most chains. When I suggest we go somewhere else, mom usually sighs and rolls her eyes. Today was no different - when I pulled into the El Rodeo parking lot, I looked over and of course I saw the look that said that she would rather eat at Panera. I knew she'd come around. There was plenty of handicapped parking but the restaurant doors were pretty heavy and I had to get a little help to get her into the restaurant. The restaurant was empty sans one guy eating at the bar. We were quickly greeted and had our drinks well before we could even look at the menu. We first ordered guac to go with our chips. Very good, but I wasn't a huge fan of the salsa. Mom said she wanted shrimp and to order her something. I ordered her shrimp enchiladas while I ordered the Quesabirria Tacos for myself. Mom really enjoyed her enchiladas. She surprised me when she ate every bit of it. My tacos were wonderful. I know I'm a little odd - my leftovers made a terrific breakfast the next day. And I was right, mom did come around. She said she'd like to come back. I sent my brother the link to El Rodeo's website. He'll be happy for a change of pace. I also added to order mom shrimp enchiladas and guacamole. She's comfortable with that and her being happy is everything.

On entering there were a small number of booths and some tables. It was lunch time and I expected the place to be hopping, but patronage was steady. We were brought the requisite complimentary salsa and chips. Both were acceptable with the salsa having a slight kick. We ordered an unsweet tea and a raspberry tea. They looked to come from a fountain dispenser but I found it nicely brewed and was offered a refill. The menu was extensive with a lengthy list of lunch specials. I asked to substitute a green chicken chili enchilada for a cheese enchilada and was refused. This is the sole reason for taking away a star. I ended up with 2 cheese enchiladas with a sweet green chili sauce. The rice and beans were both very nice. The enchiladas were tasty. The total for both meals and 2 teas with tax was, wait for it... $21! Yes, just $21 so I ended up tipping just over 30%. The tip went into a tip jar I guess they will split. We were attended by 3 servers, all very nice and attentive. If not for the unwillingness to substitute cheese for chicken on the enchilada this little eatery could get 5 stars for everything else they did well. We left very satisfied and very glad we found a little place to patronize for Cinco de Mayo.

Best Mexican food around all the other places are like fast food. The whole staff are very friendly. The prices are a little high but once you eat the food it's worth it. They take time to prepare it not like other places that want you in and out so they can turn tables. read more

It took a little time to get it going, but after a quick assist from a jump box, I finally heard the rumble of those horses galloping between my legs. Is there anything better than a Harley adventure? I rode up to Fish Creek and looped back to Derry Street, where I found my favorite slice of pizza. I've reviewed this spot before, but that was for a regular slice. This time, I ordered the Grandma slice. The design of the sauce and cheese was crossed over the slice in a perfect square, like you're looking out of a window into the countryside. As I took the first bite, my mouth jumped with joy. This was my first time having a Grandma pizza from this place, and it was amazing. I'll say it again: I dare you to try eating this with a fork and knife. Take your time and enjoy all the flavor notes as they hit your taste buds. Of course, I paired it with a Coca-Cola--because what is pizza without a cold Coke? Before hopping back on my horse, I stopped by the restroom. I was amazed at how clean it was; there was actually soap in the dispenser! I've been to a lot of pizza joints where the soap is always empty, so I was happy to actually get clean. I highly recommend this place for both the pizza and the Mexican cuisine. This remains my number-one pizza spot in the Harrisburg area. I give this place a hard 4.8 out of 5.

I was going to play it safe and get regular breakfast food but our server said the huevos rancheros are one of the most popular items so I got em. Jenni got sausage gravy and said it was very good. My huevos rancheros were heavenly and so full of flavor ... Delicious! The plain coffee I took a picture of was also amazing: hot, strong, flavorful and not a hint of bitterness. I think our server, and certainly Jenni, were surprised how much I was and still am raving about our meal. On our way out I met the owner (and dishwasher, and janitor, and cashier: he joked: "I do it all!") Victor and told him how much we enjoyed our visit. Interesting note was that four of the largest young men I've seen in a while sat behind us in a four-person booth. They should have sat at a six-person table considering how much food they got. Two servers brought it all out and everything looked delicious. I definitely want to come back!

I probably stop in about once a month, and every single time it hits. I can really only speak to the breakfast side of the menu because that's what I always get -- and more specifically, the Mexican breakfast options -- but wow. 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.
