$30.82 total for 3 tacos of barbacoa and 3 de carnitas, two like warm cokes, and pan dulce. Complete rip off given we should have YouTubed a recipe to follow and make which would have rendered more food and been cheaper. Oh well. My advice: sadly, don’t go. There are no prices on the menu so they will profile you and charge you accordingly. For the record I’m a dark brown Central American but I walked in with my WHITE husband :/ Plus side: they were very nice

Holy smokes! I finally found a BAD ASS Authentic Mexican Food joint!!! I'm a long way from Texas but man do I feel right at home. I always tell my friends in Philly that you can tell a good Mexican food restaurant by the quality of the hot sauce... not only is their green salsa excellent but it's also spicy. I absolutely loved this place. What's even better is that the seating area is in the back of small Mexican grocery store... absolutely a HOME RUN!

I went to Mexico in 2005 with a singing group and tasted great food. The food from this location is consistently excellent. The chicken tostados are absolutely delicious. The horchata is pure, cool, and delightful. The green sauce is exciting and fresh, the enchiladas are scrumptious and the Quesadillas are unspeakably desirable.

I am shocked that such a level of food can be found in so quaint an establishment or even here in Allentown.

We are all lucky to have them in Allentown. Locations with such food can be found in the depths of New York drawing huge crowds. A true 5-star food...

YES IT IS A VERY SMALL HOLE IN THE WALL BUT GIVE IT A CHANGE I PROMISE YOU WON'T REGRET IT!!! My friend and I (Micheline Rajha) come here every other week for lunch and its literally all we look forward to in between. Sometimes we can't even wait until our bi-weekly lunch dates, and we give in and go more frequently lol. Their salsa alone is literally so tasteful.. spicy but not over powering. Also my favorite is their steak tacos, omg I'm getting hungry just thinking about how flavorful their food is. Let's not forget to add how humble and sweet their entire staff is! 10...

If you want great food to go and you know Mexican home made type this is the place .if you are the typical non Mexican Hispanic or other that the closest you know about Mexican food is taco bell then this food might not taste like the one you re used to in your taco bell .this place is not a restaurant is a Mexican store/restaurant with a few tables and chairs on the back of the store if you are only for the food and good taste and not for the looks try it and eat there while listening to typical...
