★★★★★ 5.0 Ren Kazakiewich · Feb 2026

If you are looking for the best tacos in the area, I highly recommend checking this place out. Very friendly staff and a great menu. They have a drive thru pickup window and seating for ~20 inside. It's always Taco Tuesday inside with a regular special 5 tacos for $10 (12 if you want soft shell.) Very fast service. If you like spicy, their super hot sauce will interest you. The hot is quite a bit milder and the mild is very much so.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Lee Bentz · Jul 2025

This place is still awesome. Have been coming to their last location for years. I've been to this one twice, and they did not disappoint. The food is priced right. The food is good. The owners and service are top tier. Great queso and save room for dessert. Their fried ice cream is top tier with a bunch of toppings to choose from. We will deff be going back.

Cute little spot in Scranton with a drive thru. I opted to come in for lunch on my way into town and I'm glad I did! The soft tacos (with hand made flour tortillas) are STUFFED and quite the deal for $2.99 each. I ate one and was pretty much full! The rice and beans are exactly what they need to be. Very enjoyable!

Burritos are literally 1/3rd of the size of every other place around here and you can make a better nacho supreme at home with 4 ingredients for sure.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Sarah S · Aug 2023

I have driven by this joint countless times and finally stopped in one day. I liked that they had a taco special. I believe it was 5 hard shell tacos for $10. Though the vegetarian options were limited I did enjoy the bean taco. Funky inter design, also a drive thru!
