    Bottom line: Best mexican in the Lehigh Valley. Just believe me. I have been to almost all of the rest and this one takes the cake. Nestled away in a very unusual, hard to find (for those not in the area) locality on the cusp of Whitehall and Allentown lies the best mexican restaurant in the area. I recommend driving there from the back (the roads behind aldi's and popeyes so you can access a larger parking spot). A quick look at their menu and the mouth watering aroma from the kitchen right in front of the dining room will tell you this is as good as it gets. Start off with their delicious tacos or tamales. Or for the more adventurous, their sinchronizadas (ham and cheese quesedillas). I highly recommend their panbasos (mexican sandwiches). For your entrees, you can a wide range to choose from. Enchiladas, huaraches, burritos, chimichangas, meat and rice, nothing here will disappoint, and I have tried almost their entire menu. For those in the mood for some soup. Just try their caldo de res, it will blow your mind. Finish off your delectable meal with some of their delicious tres leches cake and wash down your meal with some horchatas or maybe some Jarittos (tamarind soda). There are a lot of mexican restaurants in the area, but if you are looking for the very best. Look no further. this is it!

    Best authentic tacos I've ever had. If you've never had an authentic taco, forget the cheese, hard tortilla, and lettuce. This is two white corn tortillas wrapped around your choice of meat (make sure you try al pastor), some onions, and a lime. I've had these from a few places and this is by far my favorite. I recently got a burrito here. It looked okay, but wasn't as good as I'd hoped. I'm probably just sticking to tacos from now on.

    Had their caldo de rez (beef stew) and it was DELICIOSO!!! Big chunks of veggies and meat and SOOOO satisfying in this cold weather. My hubby had the chilaquiles and they were equally delicious! The staff was courteous and the service was quick. I will def be coming here again to try their tamales and tortas. Very authentic so if you're not into spicy then might at well head on over to Taco Hell. :) P.S. They offer free Wi-Fi

    The freshly made chips and 2 types of salsa, the perfectly seasoned rice and beans topped with a slice of avocado... I had a steak quesadilla which was so simple yet fantastic. I cannot wait to try more of their dishes. Another plus is that they deliver to a 20 mile radius.. SO GOOD and as authentic as it gets!

    Had the steak quesadilla, and it was the best quesadilla I have had on the east coast. This is a spot that you should go to for some good Mexican food

    Good food, good pantry items for sale, good service. Went after church and had chilaquilles verdes, tacos, and pancakes. Horchata was tasty and we bought some Jarritos for the road. We'll go back for sure.

Mexican Cuisine

If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.

Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.

Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.
