Great local place for mexican food! Staff is great too. I've gotten take out plenty of times. Love the queso!!

Food is amazing, I'm local and haven't been here since they opened, definitely worth coming in!

Husband and I decided to go for dinner, and right when you walk in there's now an ATM machine and written signs everywhere saying we don't accept cards. "cash Only" All signs were hand written, looks like from a little kid. Now that they only accept cash, we walked out , so did the couple after us. read more

Love every visit here! Always courteous and always delicious! Perfect, fun Mexican style decor. I can't believe I haven't dropped a review before. My friend got the Joan Flaunta's (she usually gets her much loved chimichanga) and she enjoyed it completely. I admit I've mostly gotten different types of quesadillas, which I have loved every single time. I can't wait to bring home tacos to my husband one night soon! read more

lol it's cool. She welcomed us in on a blizzard day and we were welcome to stay all day, I say! But uh... yeah! It's awesome lol this place rocks. Harder than Music Exchange when it WAS there read more

I ordered the fajitas and the waitress asked me how would I like my ground beef cooked, I looked at her confused and ask her since when is fajita made with ground beef lol. I thought she was playing but she was serious. I asked her about asada she said that's extra. Lol this was a first for me to have fajita made with ground beef. Then the food came out and it had a tangy smell to it. I looked at the person who came with me, they said it smells spoiled. We tried it and sure enough the food was spoiled. Our waitress was lovely, but I won't recommend this place. read more

The food is pretty amazing, and the staff is very polite. We ordered to go, but took some photos of the inside because of how well decorated and colorful their restaurant is. Highly recommended! read more

Service was terrible and the food was flavorless and barely eatable. The loaded fries were not loaded. It took over 45 min to get food. I do not recommend. I almost never leave negative reviews for businesses but this place was terrible. Honestly I have nothing good to say about it. Do not go there it was the worst meal I have ever had. It took so long for our food to come we took part of it to go. It was absolutely just Sysco food from packages opened and smashed together. The lowest quality of food available. read more

Always great food at a great price. Been there 20 times at least always consistent. And can't say the same of the Greek diner that was there before them read more

Shut it down or call Gordon Ramsey Kitchen Nightmares. I walked out after one bite. Slop!

I wished I read the reviews before going to this place... first and last time! we eat a lot of Mexican cuisine as it's my daughter's favorite. Bland is an understatement! And no sauces at all to accompany the dry tasteless taco! These people need to take a drive to Easton and eat at Taqueria La Plaza so they know what my expectations were. So disappointed....I want my money back because I can't eat this! #neveragain #foolmeonce I swear the rice was from a box and beans from a can! $30 down the drain! Taco Bell is more authentic than this place .... When you want to charge Tacos y Tequila prices DO BETTER CRYSTALS! read more

I have been here a few times on my lunch break. Do not go if you are on time restraints, my hour lunch was far too short for this place. I came in for lunch with three other people - and it took us just shy of 2 hours to get in and out. I had the chimichanga once, and it was very bland. I ended up dumping salsa and cheese on it to add some flavor. The next time I had Reyna's Taco Salad, I have gotten this for every meal that i've had since (about 3-4 more times). It is plentiful, the lettuce and vegetables are fresh. The hot sauce selection is fairly large, as well. It's not great, but it's not a bad place to eat. Very middle of the road. read more

The food is just OK, nothing outstanding from a "Mexican " restaurant. We've been here a few times and the food was average. The booth seats are like sitting on a bean bag, you sink in and not in a comfortable way. The waitress was a younger girl who seems attentive enough but every time we've been there she has on a shirt with her whole belly exposed. Not something I want to see while I'm eating. Very unprofessional if you ask me. read more

Loaded nachos, loaded fries and the empanadas are winners. Now, they serve gyros - YES!!!! So yummy too! However, I wish they had a more practical kids menu like chicken tenders. ...and, I definitely stopped trying to get their food delivered - it's always a fail. So now I just pick up which results in me ordering infrequently. read more

Went here with my husband, it was overpriced and bland. Half our food was cold and the staff was rude. I've had authentic Mexican and this is definitely not. I make better at home. Just gross read more

Good food I usually get chicken chimichanga. Quick Service food is always hot and ready to go Friendly people to greet you with a smile read more

Josefa, our server, you ROCK! This restaurant is our go-to place for Mexican specialty food in that area. We tried something different. I built my own burrito and it was so fresh; the menu shows all 16 ingredients you can choose to include and I opted for Shrimp plus everything else minus cilantro. Everything is chopped, diced, shredded and assembled by chef Crystal and hubs. $13.95. Worth every dollar! And my hubs ordered the Tito's Burrito with White Queso! $12.95 BTW its BYOB! If you out and about near Bartonsville, PA along Route 209, across public parking lot from Dunklebergers Store. read more

There aren't a lot of sit down restaurants in the town of Brodheadsville to choose from. I didn't feel like I having Italian or Chinese food so I tried out Crystals, a restaurant that serves Mexican which I've been missing. Crystals is the only Mexican restaurant in the area (unless you wanna count Taco Bell...). I came in Friday early evening, with my boyfriend for dinner. The restaurant was quiet, only two other patrons were in the establishment. We had two lime Jarritos to start off with and chips and salsa on the house. The chips and salsa was impressive. They were toasted and the salsa was delicious topped with cilantro, seemed homemade. For our entrees, I ordered the Seafood Paella and my boyfriend ordered the Carnitas tacos with refried beans and rice. Both excellent and really good portions, great prices. The seafood paella was sooo tasty! One of the best paella I've ever had. The service was very attentive and friendly. I would definitely come back and I hope they stay in business. read more

Mediocre for the price. Sometimes good service, other times not. Once we were actually charged twice for the same meal. My friend loves it here, so I meet her when we both have time, but last time, my bill was 25 for an entree and a seltzer water, so I think I'm going to suggest another restaurant next time. The mole sauce is not good. The mexican food, ingeneral, seems inauthentic. read more

Absolutely fantastic real Mexican tacos. Cute interior with a great wait staff. Excellent prices. Truly a hidden gem

Traveling in the area for work and I came acrosss Crystals in yelp. It seemed like most local places are fast food, and I normally try to stay away from that. Upon reading the reviews I felt like Crystals was a good option I couldn't decide if I wanted Mexican, so it was nice To see a number of different options. I opted for the gyro combo(gyro, fries, drink). It was excellent and the service was fast and pleasant. Overall I know I will return when I am in the area. Next time I will give the Mexican dishes a try and update the review accordingly Would r read more

Their desserts are great but their vegetarian dishes only have a few pieces of vegetables in them. They are mostly rice.

Food great. Friendly & efficient staff Big selection of Mexican food. Free Margarita read more

We enjoyed the food, it was good. We did take out. I would consider eating there as well. Place was nice, a number of people were dining in. Will go again. read more

Only reason for the two stars if because the food was decent. The employee on the other hand so RUDE! I'll never go back there again after today thanks to that employee. She was not only rude to me but she was rude to two other parties that were there today. I've never been treated that way at a restaurant before nor have I ever wrote a review but after today I needed to make it known. read more

Very nice staff, the food wasn't what I was expecting from an authentic Mexican restaurant, the Cuban sandwich, empanadas, fajitas and the paella are so far from authentic that is not even funny read more

Service was great, my server Lexie was enthusiastic, knew the menu well, and made me feel welcomed. Food was good with large portions and reasonable pricing. 100% recommend the shredded chicken nachos or chicken & cheese empanadas! Definitely one of the better experiences in the area for authentic Mexican food. Big menu with lots of options. read more

Went by reviews and ordered so believe I need to describe a more accurate review - this is NOT an AUTHENTIC Mexican restaurant! My boyfriend wanted to order Shrimp Flauntas & was told it couldn't be made b/c they fall apart when frying so he ordered a Chimichanga (which was huge) average. I had the chicken nachos and was disappointed (tasted bland and like canned chicken). Server was super friendly and the selection of hot sauces were both great and positives of a mediocre experience. Food to cost was fair but totally meh read more

This place has hit the nail on the head!! Brodheadsville didn't have a lot to offer in terms of full service restaurants and this was a welcomed addition to town. The service is wonderful. I HIGHLY recommend the Mexican Street Corn. My Lord, this was freaking delicious!! I should have ordered more!! They package their to go orders with the best care i have EVER experienced. Every container is wrapped in plastic wrap and clearly marked. Everything stayed hot and fresh. Give this amazing place a try for take out or dine in. It is awesome. read more

Disappointed with portion and quality. Fairly "vanilla" food with blah flavor. I make better Mexican at home tbh. Sorry ;(

The food is absolutely authentic and unbelievably good! The service is super attentive and friendly, and the atmosphere is comfortable and genuine! In other words, you MUST check this place out! read more

Decent Mexican. It's a nice change from the all the pizza and Chinese joints in the area

My first time trying this place for a gyro. I was super satisfied with the flavor and the amount of meat they stuffed inside the pita. I'm a native to Astoria Queens in NYC where you could find delicious gyros. Very nice customer service and I'm going to visit again and try out their Mexican food. read more

I utilized YELP to look for a restaurant for lunch and saw that Crystal's is close to Effort PA. I looked up the menu and reviews on YELP. All the great reviews are true! We walked in and liked the decor and cleanliness of the restaurant. You can see Crystal preparing the orders in open kitchen (I love that!) We started talking with the exceptionally friendly staff and decided to order chicken enchiladas, beans and rice, guacamole and chips, and my husband had to try the Cuban sandwich. We chatted with the staff and visited a candy shop in the same strip mall while we waited for our order to be prepared All was fresh, well prepared and tasty! We will be back! read more

First of all, thank goodness for a little variety in this area!!!! This used to be a Greek restaurant that the new owners bought out. It seems they kept some of the Greek items on the menu, however the Mexican/ Spanish dishes are what you need to come for. Crystal, the owner, is such a sweetheart as well as the super friendly staff!!! We ordered out, should've taken pictures to show but was starving. Got the fried jalapeno poppers and Mexican corn for an appeziter!! To die for. Should have ordered more than one corn!! My husband got the BBQ smothered chicken and I got the steak chimichanga, the portions are generous neither one of us could finish. Once again DELICIOUS!!!! Got the baklava for dessert which was OK, but again I think you come for the Mexican food. Since they just opened, I hope they stay consistent with the food quality and portions. One set back, is the wait. We did wait a little bit, however it could be that we were starving and everytl minutes seemed like an hour. Definitely will be back with the kids. read more

Just opened under new management and big change of cuisine from Greek to Mexican. Give them a chance. The Mexican dishes I have have tried are spot on. They are made for all palates so if you are looking for "fire" you can add all you want. The Chili is killer and the Pizole is right on the money. They are working on perfecting their Tamales and today that are getting close to the what I remember in El Paso from the ole mamacita on the back of her pickup tailgate while waiting at the packing houses to load. read more
