Rice N’ Beans — Restaurant in Hanover Township

Ordered tacos from this place and my girlfriend almost choked on this piece of plastic that was in one of their pulled pork tacos. With the twisted ends it looks like a drug baggie. I took it back and talked to the owner Marco Justo and after he looked at it said that this plastic was not used anywhere in his restaurant at all. When I mentioned that I may have been a drug baggie and asked if he was the only person that handled the food he said that he was and all of a sudden the pork he uses comes in a plastic wrap like this. He threw the plastic in the bag and started to issue me a refund, I pulled the plastic out of the garbage and he said he would not issue me a refund unless he got to keep it. I said I would hang onto it in case my girlfriend had any adverse reactions to it if it did indeed contain drugs so that I could have it for analysis or for the cops. He said well I have insurance so do what you have to do. Then both him and his employee started to be extremely rude to me. I have ordered food from here for years and the employees have always been rude but other than that no issues. The way this was handled and the fact the owner was extremely defensive and insistent on getting the baggie back made me very worried and think that he may have known exactly what it was. I plan on escalating...

Tried this place twice in the past month. Was looking for a locally based alternative to Taco Bell. Sadly, this isn't it. They do nothing to make things convenient for their customers. I was driving the first time I ordered from them. The guy who answered told me that he couldn't take my order because he was the only one there and he was too busy. I was to either call back, or order online. I pulled over & ordered online. The pick up expectation was 20 minutes. I gave it a few extra minutes because the guy on the phone seemed so busy. When I went in, 2 guys were leaning against the counter & told me I was late. The food was ok, so I tried again a few weeks later. I ordered online & was again given a 20 minute expectation. I showed up at the correct time. A table was blocking the front door, and the multiple signs instruct you to call them & they will bring it out. I called to say I was there, and waited an additional 20 minutes out front. In that time I saw one other customer, and she waited just as long as I did. All of this would be fine if the food was good. It wasn't. My total was 110.00 (with tip), and it was a total waste. Most of it went in the garbage after a few bites, with the exception of the rice & beans. If you go here, order that. I should have known. It's right there...

I heard that this restaurant was doing quite well because they were family-operated and expanded to 4 stores in the Lehigh Valley. I tried this place recently (take out) and was shocked at the cost of the food and the quality!! The tacos had some meat, topped by a little cheese & shredded lettuce in a very small cold soft tortillas. They came with a teeny cup of green chili sauce, and a cup of watery salsa. The Quesadilla was two soft tortilla shells with a little chicken and cheese. It was put on the grill for a few seconds and then cut in four (uneven cuts). It came with the tiniest cup of sour cream. Now, take a guess at what this cost, no drinks, just food. Ready? The cost was almost $38.00!!! We could have dined in a sit down restaurant, had drinks, and larger condiments for what this cost!!! Not sure what these owners are thinking but they are obviously out of touch with reality. Take my advice and buy the contents of the food you want and make it yourself. It will cost you next to nothing and it’s so easy to make that a 5-year old could do it. Plus, you will be helping the environment because styrofoam and plastic utensils...
