    I happened to be across the street at the car wash and decided to go into the farmers market for a bit to eat. Upon entering, I was drawn to the taco place with its vibrant colors and lively music. I ordered empanadas and chicken and shrimp tacos. The staff was super nice and prepared the food quickly. The tacos were super fresh and flavorful. I was happy with my choice to eat here and would recommend them to this stand in the market for authentic tacos.

    Three things you need to know: 1) Everything is prepared to order with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. You're going to wait. It will be worth it. 2) Is $13 a lot for a breakfast burrito? Yes. Is it the size of a football and way better than any fast food burrito? Also yes. 3) Chef Pippa is the closest thing we have to a "celebrity chef" around here and everything I've tried on the menu is Food Network worthy.

    Pricey and not worth the money for an inferior taco. I understand that the rent is expensive and the consumer ultimately pays, but these tacos should be evicted for their size and flavor. Meh. Never again.

    Finally got around to trying out the often recommended Mid St8 Taco at the West Shore Farmers Market. I was underwhelmed by the two types of tacos we ordered (sweet potato puree and steak). They were both bland and required many add-on ingredients that are stored out on the counter. Ingredients tasted fresh, so I would give some additional tacos another chance if I return the the farmers market. However, based upon this visit I would say there are better tacos in the Harrisburg area.

    Delicious and authentic Mexican food! The toppings available make it even better. Pickled onions, lime sour cream, salsa options. All fresh and handmade ingredients. The sopes was delicious and the sweet potato empanada did not disappoint. If you're ever in the area, it's worth stopping. You won't regret it!

    Toppings. Made fresh

    They press their own massa to make and cook tortillas. They have their own machine and griddle to cook them All the topping and fillings are fresh cut or chopped there Lots of variety on the menu So delish I found it because of Yelp it's a small unpretentious shop in the farmers market that I have walked passed fifty times. This is going to be my lunch spot when I come to the market

    Having gone here in the past and never reviewing, I'm so glad I tried again. I was previously unimpressed with their tacos, but after trying their empanadas and chilaquiles I have a newfound love for them. While the prices are a bit higher than your run of the mill, divey Mexican joint, you can tell they put a lot of quality ingredients and time into each dish. I was pleasantly surprised by the presentation and flavor in each of the dishes i had. Update: I got chilaquiles to go and was not entirely impressed with the quality. 1) it was way too watery which turned me off. 2) they need to offer some type of half portion for $6. I would be much more likely to buy often. It's way too much food for one person and this comes from someone who can eat A LOT. I ended up throwing a bunch away because there's no way I could reheat soggy chips and eggs. The flavor wasn't as good this time because all of the delicious sauce is on top (as I came to realize) so once I got through the top the rest was just an overwhelming amount of cheese (not something I ever thought I would say) .

    This Mexican place located in West Shore Farmers Market has so many items on their menu. Tacos, nacho, empanadas, sopas, salsa- everything from their sauces to tacos are made from scratch- quality is just so fresh, ingredients used are good. Their fish tacos are the best - margination of the fish is perfect, very soft. Their chicken tacos were also fresh and good. also tried their nachos and salsa, beans and rice - everything was mild and is good blend of flavor and spice. I also ordered a takeout and they packed everything so well for me - all sauces, condiments separately. Their service is very friendly. Pippa the owner is absolutely wonderful, she will explain everything patiently and made suggestions and helped me decide what to get the first time. Will go back to try more.

    Crumbling but tasty Beef quesadilla with condiments
    Heather Kat A.

    I have recently discovered the joy that is Grubhub, and I have been exploring the local restaurants that deliver to downtown Harrisburg. My most recent order was from Midstate taco. I got a beef quesadilla. The tortilla was clearly housemaid, it was fresh tasting and thicker than I am used to a tortilla being, but it was disintegrating before I got it out of the box. My delivery came with multiple condiments, and of those, the best one was the lime creme fraiche. I was skeptical when I read that in the description, but it totally brought out the flavors of the beef and the beans in the quesadilla. While the quesadilla did fall apart, the cheese was creamy, the shredded cabbage gave it some much-needed texture, and the condiments and care of Packaging are enough that I will be trying this again for delivery in the future. Perhaps with another item.

    01/2018 I think I'll have to give MID ST8 Taco in Lemoyne a second chance sometime. I had high hopes for it after positive reviews by word-of-mouth but my meal was just okay. I didn't like the corn tortillas, opting instead to only eat the taco filling. I think knowing what to order is very key here as is taking advantage of the toppings/condiments offered on the side of the bar. Staff is friendly. Conveniently located when stopping in the West Shore Farmer's Market with ample parking.

    Braised Beef and a Sweet Corn Tacos
    Susan B.

    Mid St8 Taco at the West Shore Farmers Market provided me with the best explosion of flavor experience I have had during a meal in a long time. One bite in I knew these were no ordinary tacos. I had the braised beef soft tacos and a sweet corn soft taco. The freshness of the ingredients and the careful thought put into the creation of the layers of flavor became quickly evident. It makes it even better that ingredients are locally sourced and pretty much everything is made by the talented chef and her staff. I cannot wait to go back!

    The location inside the farmer's market is challenging or nice, depending on your outlook. I'm told that Friday and Saturday when the farmer's market is open, it is impossible to get a seating spot. The only option is to do take out. I'm not sure if I want to do take out of tacos. The sauces will make them soggy. Hence, I and my colleagues decided to try them on a Tuesday, when the market is closed. We did find the seating :). If I have to make a restaurant my favorite, it needs to be open all days and should have plenty of seating or reservations for table. The food is freshly made after you place your order. The tacos tasted good. Fish taco was better than the chicken tacos. Chicken one was bland. I wish there was more fish and more chicken in each taco. Plenty of vegetables. I also would have preferred them little more spicy. They've kept sauces on the side. But spicy marination on the meat tastes different than adding sauce to the taco! I was surprised to find horchata on the menu. I've had better one in Brooklyn, NY, but this wasn't bad. It's near to home, so I will visit again.

The restaurant itself had a few tables, a frozen ice cream box, video chance games, a huge rack of phone cards and several pictures decorating the walls. Most of the pictures depicted scenes from mexico, such as poncho villa, zapata, rural life, cows, etc... one of the walls was covered in mirrors and had a sombrero hanging on it. They have standard tacos at 2.50 apiece, chicken, beef or pork. We tried several of them. There was also a Torta for 8.50 that was pretty decent. There was some type of hot sauce (Valentina brand) here that that we put on it made it significantly better. The helado de fresa or strawberry ice cream ($1.50) balanced it out. We also had the Bistek Ranchero: it came with 6 yellow corn tortillas, onions, cilantro, beans, rice & lots of beef, mixed with red pepper. That cost 14.00 pretty decent if you ask me. What makes this place stand out in my opinion is the " tostada ceviche de camaron " or lime marinaded seafood salad on a deep fried corn tortilla. This item is occasionally also available at competitors but not nearly as good. 5 Stars, incredible food!

We loved our server, he kept us laughing and was great with his attentiveness to the table. The menu offers a lot! Lol from traditional plates to vegetarian options. I wanted to try something different so I picked the San Jose burrito. A burrito stuffed with chicken, rice, chorizo, beans and topped with a jalapeño cheese sauce.. it was beyond what I expected. It was so flavorful! Loved every bite lol if you come here, I highly recommend. Hubby got the Tacos Del Mar which came with three tacos. 1- shrimp, 1- fried fish & 1-seared fish. His plate came with rice too. Which I think is great for the price and the portion they give you. We also order table side guacamole because you always need to have some gua when you're at Mexican restaurant right?!?!! Lol. Everything was absolutely delicious. Friendly staff , very nice spot.

A few highlights from my visit: Beautiful outdoor seating with excellent views of the water. Fun atmosphere with plenty to watch while you eat. Throughout dinner, we saw people riding jet skis, doing tricks, and splashing each other. Happy Hour is offered every day, including weekends, which is a nice bonus. Plenty of parking available. Clean and well-maintained bathrooms. Friendly and welcoming service from our server. For dinner, we ordered: Mahi Mahi Tacos Salmon Tacos Both were priced around $15-16 and came with two tacos per plate. The portions were surprisingly generous, and we left very satisfied. Depending on your appetite, you may want to split an order or plan on taking some leftovers home. The highlight of the evening was definitely the outdoor dining area. On a nice day, it's hard to beat sitting outside, enjoying the views, watching the activity on the water, and having a relaxing meal.

The steak fajitas were quite oily and a bit tough, though the carne asada fries were the fun kind of oily and great for late night. The drinks, of course, rock, can't recommend the painkiller enough.

The parking lot is empty (not unusual for this time of day) and we're the only customers. Upon entering, the hostess/waitress seemed annoyed we came in, based on her demeanor. I had a sense to walk right out before being seated but I'm starving, so let's see what happens... Not many places charge for a basket of chips and salsa, but here they do ($3.99). I can't recall if that was the case last few times I was here. They were crispy and I did really enjoy the red salsa. I ordered two quesabirria tacos and one chicken taco since they were only available à la cart. The wife got two shrimp tacos. Mine came with a side of consommé that was mostly water and lacked flavor. I had to add salt to the tacos since they needed flavor that the consommé wasn't providing. The salsa Verde that came on the chicken was medium spicy and had a nice kick to it. It actually made me sweat, but in a good way. We ate pretty quickly because I just wasn't feeling a good vibe inside the restaurant. I asked for the check and presented my coupon. While getting checked out at the register, I asked for change for a $20 (for a cash tip) in the form of a 10 and two fives and was presented a 10 a five and five ones. I did not want the one dollar bills because I had several in my pocket already. Again, this waitress either just didn't care or I don't know wtf her problem was. No positive energy at all and left me wondering "why?" Your customers are your livelihood, treat them nicely and they'll keep coming back for more... Not sure we'll be back anytime soon based on the attitude. Food was good, not great. Sorry for the 3 stars, just couldn't "get it up" to 4.
