The Original Taco Bandido — Restaurant in Scranton

The food here is always amazing. The restaurant may look unassuming, but they're top notch. I got a shrimp and a beef taco supreme, as well as an order of churros. Both were fantastic, perfectly spiced. The churros had lost much of their crispness due to the fact that we had to drive home first, but were completely coated in a perfectly balanced cinnamon sugar coating.

The tacos came with a hot sauce that honestly I'm not so sure I understand. It was extremely watery on top with some fine chunks of ingredients on the bottom. Though it tasted delicious it was very difficult to enjoy, as it either just slipped right off the taco if you tried to dip it or made a mess if you poured it on.

My biggest complaints about the restaurant are these: the drive thru is the only way to pick up your food and they don't have a drive thru menu there. They expect you to call in advance and order, then come to pick it up. I had to be handed a menu and call from the back parking lot to order and wait right there for awhile. This definitely wouldn't stop me from coming back, just readers be warned. Call...

I've read some reviews and quiet honestly don't think people are talking about the same place. I ordered 3 beef tacos (special 3/$5). The taco shells taste like they came from a box, so I don't know where people are getting "made fresh" from? the meat tasted like it belonged in a chili, not a taco. Plus it was very mushy, looked/tasted like very low quality meat (perhaps 73% lean). I only ate 1 bc the look and taste left a very bad taste in my mouth. IM MEXICAN, so I went in expecting some bangin tacos, like carnitas or carne asada, only to be slapped in the face with tacos that look like the boxed set sold in store. FYI no TRUE taco has olives on it. and $2.79 for 1 taco?! that's just nuckin futs, especially since they weren't even good! overall, NO GOOD, honestly I would rather eat taco bell over these ladies "authentic Mexican food". NOTHING...
