Mexican spot on Main. Relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff. I was impressed with steak burrito. Wrap was a bit crispy which I wasn't expecting. A nice touch. Fries were good but not that many. They looked randomly scattered on the plate like they were accidentally added. Thankfully, the burrito was filling and a good portion. Steak was surprisingly good too. Service was decent but for the amount of staff lounging around, I shouldn't have to seek out staff to get more water or find staff for the check. Took a good 15 minutes for the food to arrive which, judging by the look on the faces at other tables, was the norm that day. Ultimately, I'd go back for sure. read more

Urbano Mexican Kitchen & Bar - Burrito with steak...a few fries - Mexican Near Me - Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

There aren't many options in this area but stopped in Urbana for a margarita and a snack. The margaritas were good as was the chip and dip trio -both reasonably priced as well, but the atmosphere wasn't fun or inviting so I didn't stay to eat. There was no music which was odd, so we just ate in silence amongst ppl at the bar talking in the big bright room. read more

Got a carry out order but left no tip because... it's carry out. No service provided. When I opened the food boxes I guess someone showed me. The entrees were exceptionally unappealing looking- no effort to look appetizing . The nachos had been dumped in so that the dry chips were on top and the cheese and vegetables were stuck to the cardboard of the bottom of the box. Threw most of the food away. If a tip is a requirement for a meal to be packaged correctly, that should be written on the menu. Food was sub par as well. Not much taste. Packaged with a single cup of sour cream for 3 meals. Pretty lousy introduction to Bethleham PA read more

I wouldn't recommend this place -- mainly because of how the manager treated us. The food was mediocre at best. Our waitress and bartender were both friendly, but the experience took a nosedive when the bill arrived: $35 for a single shot of Casamigos tequila. On top of that, the sides were $10 each for tiny portions. The whole place gave off the impression that the owners were more interested in overcharging guests than providing a fair or enjoyable dining experience. read more

Absolutely horrible experience. Inattentive bartenders, eating behind the bar, didn't check on us once knowing we were waiting on an order of freaking nachos for over 30 minutes. Didn't offer another drink or something else while we waited. Left there and had some amazing authentic Mexican food at Mexico Lindo down the street. Go there instead! read more

Solid Mexican meal! The salsa isn't great, mostly watered down. But the food was enjoyable. I had the Mexican Cobb with steak which had very flavorful dressing and the guac was good too! I tried the gingerbread margarita with the suggestion of the helpful waiter we had. I would have liked more of a ginger forward flavor but all in all not bad. read more

Ordered an item from the menu specifically requesting it vegetarian. The food comes out with meat on it and the waiter proceeds to ask if I can "pick out" the meat and still eat it. He then went on to say since they only have one cook it would take too long to make a new one. Absolutely the worst service I ever experienced. read more

I took this dinner and a group of eight on recommendation of a coworker that lives local and I should've trusted the yelp reviews which three stars means three stars not much else to say that didn't have much service going on so there's a long wait it seems like they're too many items on the menu for them to keep up with and keep fresh. There were a couple items that they were out of including chicken wings. The margaritas were OK but not world class. The Mexican and Tex-Mex foods were authentic enough well portioned, but not much spice or flavor. I think they were missing out on some fresh jalapeños and other typical items that give more flavor, including the guacamole, which was mild. If anyone's been to Texas, they would know that this is off, but still worth a visit if this is the only place you got to go in Bethlehem for this type of food. read more

The ambience was really cool. The people were extremely nice. The service was good. The menu was clearly on point. My only complaint was the pork in my tacos didn't seem to be fresh. My partner ordered a different pork taco and his was completely different and much better! read more

I ordered the watermelon salad thinking that I would get several ingredients in the salad and the ingredient was watermelon. And a couple of tomatoes. Very disappointed. I paid $13 for just watermelon read more

We were seated at 1:20 PM, but our appetizer still hadn't arrived by 2:35 PM, which was extremely disappointing. There were five of us dining, and when the main dishes finally came out, only four meals arrived, one person's order had apparently been lost entirely (To their credit, they did not charge us for the missed order, which we appreciated).The food itself was okay, but nothing special enough to justify the excessive wait and poor service experience. read more

Sad to give such a low rating, place has potential but this was a pass in my book for future food stops. Came with a party of 8 last night. We sat around 7:30. Our waitress took forever to get the drinks to the table. That was an automatic red flag. When we needed another round, it was like pulling teeth. The restaurant was not even busy; so many open tables. Because the drinks came so late and we were in a hurry for our plans afterwards, we skipped appetizers. We ordered our food and that took forever as well. Luckily we had chips and salsa and we were munching on that because of how hungry we were and how long it took to come out. When we got our food, it was warm, like it sat under the heating lamp for a long time. My friend's dish had a small spider that came out of his dish. Turned everyone at the table off, including myself. At this point, I didn't care about the spider on his dish, I just wanted to eat. I got what was a Bandeja Paisa. A traditional Spanish dish that is hard to mess up. But in this case, everything was wrong. Cold, the rice was unseasoned (no butter or salt). Meat also had no seasoning. Disappointing for a Spanish restaurant. Ended up getting the bill because of the long wait until 9:45. Find another local Mexican restaurant. read more

Heard good things about this place and wanted to try it out. It was a beautiful day out and we sat outside. It was on the earlier side (around 11:30am) and we decided on the Vegetarian nachos. We were looking for something quick to eat so that we could get back to shopping along the main avenue. We waited patiently and finally after about 20 minutes had to ask where our food was. We were told that it was "very slow in the kitchen. The old people in the kitchen are slow". It finally came out and it was tasty but not the best I've ever had. We asked for our check and again had to wait a bit. When we finally saw our waitress she came over and asked if we wanted anything else and I reminded her that we asked for the check. Did take a peek inside to check out the ambiance and it was lovely. Could see having a date night or party there but they need to work on their service levels first. read more

I love when I get to show my family somewhere new to eat! I have always loved to come here with friends and my mom has never gotten the opportunity to go. She absolutely fell in love with it. As soon as you walk in you're transported off of Main Street and into this calm ambient restaurant. It has dim lighting and Spanish music playing. Chips and salsa are given as complimentary, but I'm a guac lover so I also got a guac and both were equally amazing. They each had the right amount of spice in it and the tortillas were brought out warm and fresh. My mom had got a chicken rice bowl. I'd say it was a perfect serving. It's the kind of serving where you'll be full but you won't be overly full, it's just right. I had got my favorite, birria tacos! Ugh this is my favorite place to get them in Bethlehem. Just be careful when getting them they come out very hot so you have to wait a little for it to cool off. Everything has such exceptional taste. read more

Unfortunately, our dinner at Urbano Mexican Kitchen and Bar was quite disappointing. We ordered 2 Margaritas, Queso Dip, Birria Tacos and Garlic Parm Chicken Wings. The drinks took a while to come out, the restaurant wasn't even that busy, our server apologized which was nice however this was just the beginning of a mediocre experience. The Queso Dip bland & thin, Taco Bells cheese sauce Would be100 percent better. The Chicken wings are breaded & most likely frozen since some of the pieces were just Pieces that do not resemble a wing or a flap. The Chicken was sitting in a pool of the sauce that looked like a thickish Italian dressing that was not appetizing to the eyes. The Birria tacos were meh but that dish was the better of all three which Isn't saying much since the Queso was terrible for the price of $9.00. Our server was nice & attentive.... that was the most positive of our visit. Proceed with Caution! read more

This was terrible. The food was horrible. The wait for food was over an hour. There was so much salt in our food. I don't even know what to say. Don't eat here. read more

Elote street corn as appetizer was good. Vegetarian Fajita consisted of onion, green & red bell pepper, mushroom, onion, zucchini, and cauliflower. And it was very good. Vegetarian Fajita also came with black beans and guacamole, which were both good. Steamed white rice was good with salsa, beans and vegetables, but does not come with meal. Also ordered fried rice to go, which was amazing. Server William did great job. Thank you William! read more

The food was...well, can't tell you. Never got any. Couple next to us warned us that they had been there for an hour and were only able to order chips. I went to the bathroom, came out and my three family members were gone. Found them outside and then the bartender came outside. He seemed surprised we were leaving, but thirty minutes+ for a beer that's on tap is pretty nuts. When would the margaritas have came? And to clarify, the beer never came. The ambiance was cool, but the vibe just brought it down. A lot of people only had waters on their tables and you could feel the tension. Sitting outside would have been even worse despite the nice weather day after a string of high 30s. Waiting forever for your order to be taken can only get worse if you're waiting outside and can't see any of the employees. read more

They sat us in the side room- not a dealbreaker but the vibe is different. Waiter was very unfriendly and took forever to welcome us. We ordered guac and drinks, drinks were horrible - spicy marg was not spicy and I couldn't tell the waiter because he didn't come back for a solid 20. After 30, we asked about the guac, he forgot. Ordered 3 bowls. Every single order was wrong. Again, couldn't send it back because we didn't see him for another 40 minutes. It took 3 women, over 3 hours for 2 drinks, guac and 3 rice bowls. Honestly, this place is always subpar and I don't bother leaving a review but this time was just horrific. Never going back. I'd rather go out of my way to la maya or torre (as a Bethlehem resident) then step foot in that place again. Period. read more

I love this place ,good and drinks are great ,staff is always nice, the manager is so sweet I hope they keep doing a great job

Love getting a cocktail and some guacamole here. Really enjoy sitting outside when the weather is nice! The service has declined the past few times I've visited... I'm not sure if they're understaffed or what's going on, would like to give the benefit of the doubt. We sat outside and it took almost an hour to get our first round of drinks and then another hour to get our food. Luckily we weren't in a rush, but our waitress wasn't apologetic or fazed by the lack of checking in or the length it was taking. They're worth checking out if you're in downtown Bethlehem, but their sister restaurant, Tapas- has always been a way better experience for me! read more

We have been loyal urbano customers for 15 years. We stopped in for dinner and waited over an hour for our food (tacos and quesadillas). It was not crowded. One of the entrees was served cold after a long wait. They also changed their menu and our favorite margaritas were absent from the menu, as were the guacamole variations. This was always our favorite restaurant in Bethlehem. After the latest visit we know that something has drastically changed. We will sadly bot be returning to this restaurant or any of the restaurants owned by the owners ( tapas, flying egg, pelican wine bar, etc. ) We were very disappointed. read more

Tacos were bursting with flavor!!! What an enjoyable experience. We expected very little and were shocked to find that this small place served food with quality comparable to the best Mexican restaurants in NY. Bravo. read more

Taco tuesdayyyyy. $2 a tacos is a great price! The tacos are decent and going at this prices it's a steal. The carne asada and pollo (more like pulled chicken than chicken chunks) weren't bad but my favorite was definitely the brisket. It probably takes 4 tacos to be full and $8 for a meal is awesome. I got the mango margaritas pitcher - it reminds me of Arizona's mucho mango but in an alcoholic version. It serves about 5 glasses and was pretty tasty not very strong. I would come back just for taco Tuesday not sure if I would for a normal day. Waitress was amazing in splitting checks for a large party and not making mistakes, just seems understaffed as wait for orders + food was slow. read more

Ambiance is really cool. The music makes it feel a bit like a club. We went on Saturday night. The quesadillas were good and meat (both chicken and pork) were vere fresh.

Made good recommendations, didn't rush us. Excellent service. read more

Urbano Mexican Kitchen & Bar - Rotisserie Chicken Enchiladas and Street Corn - Mexican Near Me - Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

My husband and I were visiting from out of town, our first time in Bethlehem. The sun was shining and the sidewalks were packed! It was a reminder of what life was like pre-COVID. We knew we wanted to sit outside and soak in as many rays as possible, but have a light late lunch knowing we were going to be having dinner in the area as well. Urbano was packed! A constant flow of patrons coming in and out. We were lucky enough to snag the last table outside to enjoy an adult beverage and share some good eats. Our server was very friendly, polite, and attentive. Complimentary salsa and chips to start, fresh guacamole, and a veggie quesadilla - all perfectly washed down with an ice cold beer. The veggie quesadilla was filled with beans and corn, mixed with goat cheese, and topped with a beautiful pineapple salsa. The combination of the creamy tart goat cheese offset by the sweetness of the pineapple was so well balanced. The guacamole had chunks of avocado, which I prefer, and loaded with onions, cilantro and tomato. My only suggestion would be adding some fresh lime juice and a dash of salt to add some acidity. read more

Solid Taco Tuesday place ($3 tacos, with some exceptions). The frozen margaritas are yummy and generous. The veggie tacos (falafel, mushroom, and veg) are all good, the plantain on the veg taco is very good (slightly charred and sweet), all made even better with a side of green enchilada sauce. To be fair, I only usually order their veg tacos or bowls. I have tried the veg nachos (pretty good) and enchilada once (I'm good with just once), so I can't speak for the rest of the menu, but I am here quite often for Taco Tuesday:) Nice staff, nice bathrooms. I need to stop getting full on the chips and salsa, maybe next time. read more

We have been sitting at a table in Urbano for 45 minutes and still haven't gotten our food. The guac is gross, slimy with some half chopped vegetables on top. There are only a couple of other tables, so not sure if the hold up. The service is meh. It's a complete disappointment and we most definitely will not be coming back. If I could give it zero stars, I would. read more

the food overall was pretty good quick fast service, the waitress was very nice and did her best to make sure everything was good came over quite a bit which is good. the only downside i have with this place was that my drinks were a bit funky. me and my girlfriend came here and both of our waters had stuff in them. we asked for a second glass and it was warm. overall good food i would recommend it to people read more

Outside seating with excellent service made our stop into this spot a great experience. The short rib tacos were excellent, as were the carnitas, though they each came with a single corn tortilla that just wasn't up to the mound of ingredients so we had to knife and fork it. The guac with fresh berries was a neat take on the app that cooled the spice of the guac with the fruit flavor. read more

seems like the manager is more focused on hanging out with his servers and bartenders so he can gossip and get in on the "tea" if the restaurant is led by his example, then the restaurant of bad leadership and sloppy service. Menus are not table leveling devices. read more

I haven't left a review of a place in some time, takes a lot to get me to download an app and type words about my experience. Probably done with Urbanos, taco Tuesday maybe anything else probably not especially not to go. Ordered a califlower bowl and guac and chips. The woman taking my order I believed didn't ask me any questions about my guac which confused me so later I asked the other bartender if I could pay and the guac wasn't on the order. Guac was brown and small got it replaced but honestly don't trust it, looks and smells ok but I just rather not risk it. I have avocados at home they just weren't ripe so I think the universe was punishing my greed. Also got califlower rice bowl and it really was underwhelming like the ingredients were put into the bowl next to each other like on a lunch line at school and not seasoned?! Honestly I'm not sure what I was expecting. You know what's funny, a dog outside barked at me desperately before I went in to order. Was strange the owners comforted the dog but I didn't understand it at first. However, when I left before I had to replace the food the dog was as calm as could be. The damage was done at that point I should have listened to the dog before if went in to order. I later spoke to the dogs owners and their order was wrong as well ?maybe an off night for Urbanos we agreed. But I learned my $25 lesson, on a busy Sunday no Urbanos and take a moment and listen to nature before you enter a restaurant. read more

I went to Urbano yesterday evening with my boyfriend. We were craving Mexican and this resturant was close to my apartment so we decided to check it out. We were really hungry so we wanted to order some apps. We started off with the salsa's trio and the urbano taquitos. Both were delicious, the green sauce in the salsa trio was my favorite and I even put it on top of one of my taquitos. The taquitos were great, packed with flavor and the chicken was perfectly cooked. For our entrees we ordered the chicken quesadilla and the steak rice bowl. Both were great! Although, I did enjoy the rice bowl a bit more. The rice bowl had all fresh tasting ingredients and was delicious. I would highly recommend checking out Urbano if you are in the Bethlehem area! Definitely check out their cocktails too, they looked delicious! read more
