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.

one word: authentic The tacos are great, and at 10 for $10 (limited to seasoned pork, roast pork, or chicken) the price is right! I am also a huge fan of the Huarache, its like a GIANT taco bigger than a dinner plate... cactus and chorizo (Mexican sausage) are my two favorites. Combine that with one of their delicious fruit juices, I can't say enough good things about this place and the staff there. everything is made to order, so call ahead unless you enjoy watching Telemundo =)

The BEST anywhere. I've eaten tacos everywhere in eastern Pennsylvania and they are the best. The selection is awesome, the people are so welcoming and friendly. If you want true, honest, and authentic mexican tacos and food look no further.

Great no-frills Mexican food. My favorite tacos around. Try the pork or chorizo tacos and the guacamole with a MexiCola. The restaurant is in a former Pizza Hut, but its current incarnation is clean and inviting. No alcohol is served, though they have a selection of soft drinks, including Mexican Coca Cola (the kind made with real sugar). Of the small (but delicious) menu I've tried tacos, burritos, sopes, quesadillas, and guacamole. All were very good. Currently tacos are $1.50 apiece or 10 for $10 of you get pork or chicken. They're made with small double tortillas, lots of meat, diced onion, and cilantro. Salsa and limes on the side.

Even more Mexican in town, this one on the East side again! I remember, as a coal region teenager, thinking that Pizza Hut was the coziest, coolest place you could possibly go, especially that romantic corner booth. Some of the original "hut" buildings still stand, but most have morphed into other things. Gone are the checkered tablecloths and the warm wooden interiors. The one along Perkiomen Avenue at the top of the hill (by the Hess Station) is one such example. With two other locations in the city (Oley St and Greenwich St, one is a food truck), Taqueria El Carreton is no-frills more-authentic Mexican. Menu is heavy on the meat; in fact, there are 8 different kinds! Small selection: tacos, tortas, grande burritos, huarches, grande quesadillas, sopes, and gorditas. Vegans, ask for something with jalapenos, tomato, avocado, onions, cilantro, lettuce, and beans. The beans have no lard or bacon. The owner Maria is very sweet about welcoming special requests, although sometimes I just want to point. :-) Changes to the menu are being considered, in order to accommodate plant eaters -- she tells me they have had a lot of requests. Seems to be BYOB, and it is very bright inside.

Awesome. Great authentic Mexican without having to go in to reading. Es muy bueno.

Great little place. The first time I visited this establishment, I wasn't sure what to expect. From experience, I can tell you to expect great food, generous portions, friendly staff and a desire to return. Don't expect a lot of frills and fanfare. The restaurant is a converted Pizza Hut. The renovations left this place bright, open and inviting. It is tucked on behind a Hess station and easy to miss if you aren't looking. Don't miss this one.
