I'm no food critic bit I do know what I like, and I definitely enjoyed my enchilada lunch today!! Like other posts mentioned, the freshness was obvious. Nice serving of chips and salsa before the meal. Really like the cilantro in the salsa! Thank you for a delicious meal, El Buen Amigo!! When in the area again, I'll be back!!

Got 2 burritos, chicken and shrimp and they were packed with flavor! Really really good! I am coming back for sure!

Everything was amazing. Don’t let the outside fool you. Authentic Fresh, clean, yummy. You won’t regret it. Fish tacos ? and quesadilla were on point. Amazing flavor. Server was friendly and attentive.

Absolutely love the fresh ingredients and the vast menu. The dishes are always prepared well and look fantastic and taste amazing. They even make a picky eater like my son steal food from my plate. If I can't dine in I usually get some taste out or grab some snacks from the cooler. The horchata and the chips and dips are the best! One of my top recommendations for friends.

This off the beaten path spot is great. Super fresh food, tacos, tostada's, nachos, everything was great. The service was beyond good.

As a Mexican this place passes the test. Very good tacos and salsa's, the rest of the food looks good and authentic but it's my first time here. The place looks neat and clean I'll be back next time I'm in the area.

This was our first time ordering take out from here. I had the fajitas, my husband had the pork burrito, and our daughter had the chimichangas. We also ordered guac with Chips, a side of Pico ,and the homemade white cheese sauce.Everything was Great!! The portions were big( we all have leftovers).Definitely recommend, ane will definitely be back !!

Enjoy my tacos with rice and beans, salsa was a great touch. Also great chips and salsa. The best part great prices and lots of food. Love the music great service. Stay hungry my friends.

The queso was just cheese sauce like Campbell's cheese soup. No Bueno ? we asked for queso not cheese sauce. I am from Dallas Texas I promise I know the difference!!! When you order queso you should get it queso. Just saying.

I LOVE THIS PLACE. As a Latin man, I've been eating home-cooked and authentic Latin food from many authentic restaurants and foreign Spanish countries. This place is amazing. I have had everything from their tacos (bistec and chorizo are amazing) to their tortas, picadas, burritos, and quesadillas, and they haven't disappointed me once! I cannot reccomend this place enough and it has become a staple for me and somewhere I consider everytime I want to eat out. Please make this a stop if you're ever in Scranton!
