Food was extremely good, but service wasn't at all what I was expecting, especially considering that I am a Hispanic female, u would have thought that I would have been greeted and treated like family, however, me&my party were treated as though we didn't even exist.... And we literally waited almost a full hour for a single burrito... Yea if u don't mind the wait and rudeness than I'll love it

There are just as many things about this place that are wonderful as there are bad. Let's start with the good. The derocation is beautiful and the food ?Amazing?, it's truly authentic Mexican food. The waiting staff is also very friendly and welcoming, Carla in particular is very nice and fast. However, there are questionable things I've seen within this restaurant. For starters the atmosphere within this restaurant during the karaoke nights is foul and uncomfortable at best. The music is so vulgar and loud you feel like you're ears are bleeding and the amount of drunks harrasing you is disgusting. I've also noticed that the (untrained and unlicensed) waitresses are the ones making the alcoholic drinks and that the owners are rarely ever there. If you have children, I also advise you against bringing them along with you here as I have been unfortunate to witness customers regularly using the restrooms for things that aren't kid friendly. Overall this place has the potential to be a top tier, respectable, family friendly restaurant, but is actively losing it due to poor management on the owners fault.

Overall, I wouldn't dine here again.I felt very uneasy and unwelcome.We weren't greeted when we walked in.Even all the other diners looked up and looked at us like we were in the wrong place.It took a long time for someone to come to the table to give menus. Took a long time for our order to be taken. The waitress never came back to see how things were, ask if we need to go boxes, or even bring our check. We had to go ask for boxes and then again for our check.The food was ok. The torta portions are large and they don't slack on the fillings. The steak in the torta was lacking a good flavor and was bland. Not bad but not notably something I'd be back after.We will stick with another locally owned authentic Mexican restaurant that greats and serves us with a smile. Plus their food is consistently delicious there.

Great restaurant deliciously authentic with great tacos. I went to pickup and one side of the place is a grocery store and being from the city it definitely gave me Brooklyn vibes.

Good selection. Friendly staff. Owner sings karaoke in the back. Absolutely fire.

Great food 100% authentic Mexican and beautiful decor service was a bit slow but it was a little busy so understandable with that plus HUGE helpings for the price I can not wait to go back and get more!!! EVERYONE SHOULD TRY IT

Karaoke ? Authentic Mexican Food ? ? Affordable Prices?B.Y.O.B ? ? just a bit of a closely tight spot.

Amazing Mexican food. Reasonable prices as well.

The best food in Scranton Pennsylvania I come from Long Island ny there is excellent food and great staff members. Even if you don’t know the people they treat you like family and with respect if you are planing to visit Scranton you should definitely try this place highly recommend. REAL MEXICAN FOOD

Overall a great place to eat out however I am concerned with the meats sold in the front store area. Color change on meats usually indicates that meat is no longer good to eat but I don't know if they are aware of that.
