My new favorite restaurant on the Lehigh Valley if I were to judge based on the quality of the food. Especially when you take into consideration the fair prices.

I saw some of the more negative reviews and went in wary, but was pleasantly surprised by the amazing food.

The place wasn't busy for the weekend holiday lunch when we went, but that shouldn't make you second guess the quality. And to further address some other reviews - no, the place is not decked out with fancy tables and decor, but this isn't a fine dining experience so we could care less about that . Besides, the atmosphere is still warm and colorful without being either tacky or too bare.

The service was friendly and patient (which is key since I take a notoriously long time to decide on food, especially with a new menu in hand). And the food? DELICIOUS. I ate well beyond when I was full simply because I didn't want anything to go to waste. The prices are great and definitely fair, the portions are generous, and everything down to the homemade sauces and salsa are on point.

Don't let the negative ratings steer you away or you'll miss out on something great. They're mostly based on a claimed lack of alcohol anyway - which IS on the menu, though we didn't order any - and desire for different decor. Ignore those. The authenticate and amazing food deserves much more credit.

Outstanding! GREAT Mexican food, well prepared, well seasoned. Fine service. Good enough that we went back the next day for more. Large variety on the menu, breakfast (both Mexican style and American), lunches dinners. Worth trying the Mexican buffet on the last Sunday of each month.
