Owner Jorge Rosales calls the food homemade in Spanish. For 10 years, he and wife Ana have served tasty tacos, enchiladas and chiles rellenos to Mexican food enthusiasts. At first, the tiny storefront looks like a deli. But behind the counter, there’s a large restaurant-style grill that’s sizzling with pork and other meats, and a handful of tables for dining in. Order a taco con carnitas at this little piece of Mexico in downtown Allentown.

"An unlikely winner!"

delta from West Allentown - January 10, 2008

Not many seats but the food is amazing. Make sure you have an hour because they cook everything from scratch. An incredible value!
