My girlfriend got three pork tacos with pineapple. They were stellar due to high-quality meat that was perfectly prepared. The pineapple added some great flavor to the dish without adding sweetness. My barbacoa burritto (no rice by choice) came heavy with exceptional meat and flavor. Absolutely incredible and well balanced. And their guacamole is phenomenal. Although we cannot wait to order from here again, we look forward to visiting the restaurant. Our thanks to the entire kitchen staff for preparing amazing food as if we were dining in their establishment.

As a 5+ year resident in southern california i've come fairly accustomed to Mexican cuisine. I have…read moremy go-to's as well as trying something new from time to time to enrich my taste. that being said i was very interested in seeing what mexican food on the east coast could offer me. It's a small restaurant with limited parking and the dining space being fairly spacious considering its size. Walking in we approach an empty podium but are greeted with a warm welcome within seconds of entering. Our waitress politely greeted us and let us choose our seating. Within a few minutes we received menus and assistance with spice levels and items on the menu and for food i chose a few items. I started with a Chicken and cheese empanada. presentation was good and the flavor was OK but also isnt something i typically get. i didn't eat it right away and will say it's something that's best eaten the moment it hits the table. A few minutes later came the Flautas and i don't like to compare my food to other places but i couldn't help but think of my Fathers flautas when eating these. again, presentation is nice and they weren't inedible but it felt like something was missing. Minutes later came the Carnitas and barbacoa tacos with 1 of them being the carnitas and the rest barbacoa. The waitress recommended i eat the carnitas first then move onto the barbacoa. Doing just that i ate the carnitas and was immediately blown away. The Pico was well made and the flavor was something new, i couldn't compare nor think of something similar to its taste and that became my favorite thing there but moving forward the barbacoa was fairly the same as the flautas in the sense that something was missing. Presentation was good and the crunch on the tacos was just right; not too crispy, not too soft. My girlfriend has the Carne Asada plate with her rating being a 3/5 stating the carne asada was thinner than she prefers and portions being slightly uneven. Overall i'd give it a 3/5 but i give it a 4 due to excellent service. The ambiance is slightly lacking but is something that could improve overtime. For the price id say this place is a great choice for their tacos but some items are questionable. I would come back here again!

Their portions are generous, their prices are very affordable, they get a niiiiiice sear on each of those meats, and you will be well-fed. The family is sweet, welcoming as can be.

I didn't hop on that, I'm doing ok, but daaaamn, the sheer generosity and kind-heartedness!! Their food is stellar, their hearts are the best, and you should spend your money there if you want bomb Mexican deliciousness. Ohhhhh, they offer delivery, but if you're local? Call it in and pick it up yourself. Grub hub and those others pandemic vampires deserve NONE of the largesse. They're acting like carpetbaggers during a time of crisis. Pick it up, let them get ALL of the $ you're spending there. They are absolutely worth that effort.

Hey my dear foodies!…read more I finally decided to check out Tequila House, and I ordered the salmon flour tacos along with a platter loaded with steak, chicken, and cheese, served with rice and refried beans. Overall, the food was good! The salmon could have used a little more seasoning, but I still enjoyed it. For my drink, I ordered a frozen passion fruit margarita, which was refreshing and paired perfectly with the meal. One thing I really enjoyed was the atmosphere. They had live music, which was a nice touch and added to the overall experience. The restaurant has a vibrant Mexican vibe with a warm, family-friendly atmosphere that makes you feel welcome. The service was surprisingly quick, even though the restaurant wasn't packed, which I definitely appreciated. It's always nice when you don't have to wait long for good food and drinks! They also offer happy hour specials, so I'll definitely be coming back to check those out. Overall rating: 8/10 Good food, quick service, live music, and a family-friendly atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit if you're looking for a casual Mexican dining experience! fyi lol we was so hungry forgot to take pics #FoodieFinds #TequilaHouse #MexicanFood #LiveMusic #FoodReview #MargaritaLover #FamilyFriendly #FoodieAdventures #HappyHour #SupportLocalRestaurants

Went here on Cinco de Mayo for lunch. They were busy, but the wait for a table was not long…read more There was a minimal wait for a waitress to come over. She did explain that a few beers were put already. But the chips and salsa were great. Our ordered food did not talk long to come over either so I was impressed with how quickly and well done the food was. The place was set up well for Cinco de Mayo but I think the place was still set up nicely even if you took out all the Cinco de Mayo decorations. Next time I am in the Lehigh Valley, I cannot wait to visit this place again.

The store is clean and well kept woth limited seating and service is fast! Here is what we ordered! We were served chips and salsa first at no charge. chips were cooked perfectly and the house-made salsa was delicious! my gf ordered the fajita (steak) dish and she noted decent sized fair portions of all the goodies that go into making a fajita with a unique guacamole, rice and beans, lettuce and cheese and their steak is a MUST try. I ordered a chicken tostada and chicken flautas. the chicken on the tostada was my favorite thing there it was insanely delicious i've never had anything like it and the flautas were cooked perfectly. a nice crisply outer shell with not too much crunch and the taste of fried tortilla so clean and pure! so savory! Now when i think of mexican food this place will come to mind. i encourage anyone who loves good tasty food to come here it's worth every penny and the prices are very fair!

While driving through Easton on my current trucking route, I did what I usually do and searched for…read morethe nearest Mexican restaurant on Uber Eats. I ordered from Mexicolindo and went with an asada burrito--something I've had plenty of times back in Texas, so I felt pretty confident in the choice. Unfortunately, the delivery was a letdown. The lettuce in the burrito felt like a total afterthought, with a small handful of wilted pieces thrown on at the last second. Maybe this is just how they prepare asada here, but the burrito was a sloppy mess. I couldn't even pick it up to eat it because it completely fell apart in my hands. The kid's cheese quesadilla didn't help much either. The tortilla was extremely thin--much thinner than what I'm used to in Texas. The fries arrived soggy and soaked in grease, and honestly, the whole meal ended up giving me a stomachache. Since this was an Uber Eats order, I expected at least basic packaging. The order came with no napkins or utensils, which made eating on the road even more frustrating. The one positive was that it did include two types of salsa, which restaurants outside of Texas don't always do. Overall, this delivery just didn't meet expectations, especially for someone used to Mexican food done right.
