I had a veggie burrito, however it was mostly rice & some of the rice wasn't fully cooked. I asked for cheese ($1.50 extra) on it and they put a queso which was good. Had that queso not been on it , there wouldn't have been anything flavorful about it. My husband had chicken nachos and he stated they were bland as well.

Skipped breakfast so I was halfway looking for a brunchy option when I stumbled into El Tikal…read more With a quality lunch special section, plus your everyday Mexican favorites and a great variety of meat, seafood and veggie dishes, I had a hard time deciding. I'm usually a combo order kind of guy, but I had to throw together my own little lunch variety pack, add Santa Fe (breakfast) burrito. Plantains always hit for me, but these were extra caramelized and gooey so I had to portion them out between the beginning and end of the meal. The mole sauce on the chili relleno was smokey and not as spicy, but really well-balanced. The tamale with red sauce seemed less flavorful than the other dishes, but I'm no tamale expert and I've been hanging out with a lot of Italians recently. The Santa Fe burrito was out of this world: the eggs, nice and crumbly with tons of seasoning and flavor, the cheese-covered chorizo oozing into each bite. I need this again, and I'm sure there's so many other incredible things on the menu to explore, but this is truly a hearty and unique item worth coming back for.

Maybe its me but I really didn't love the food here. The service was great but the food not so…read moremuch. The chips were very thick and flavorless. The salsa tasted like tomato sauce with a little spice. The mexican ranch sauce, though, was delicious! The food was just lacking in flavor. Everything was bland and lukewarm. The drink was the best part of the meal. It was lacking in alcohol but very pretty and quite yummy. It was our only stop for mexican on our trip and it was quite disappointing. The food being bland really needed a kuck and their just was none. The side order of plantain was also very good and they are delicious in that ranch sauce. I probably wouldn't return but if I did id get an order of plantain and extra ranch and not order anything else.

Now it comes with three tacos, your choice of sauce. As a side you get chips with salsa. Now I am not really familiar with Mexican spices, I can tell you this was really delicious and recommend all to try. Thank you for your support. Until next show be blessed and stay safe. Welcome to the Friday pizza night everyone. Tonight, I am back at a place where you would not really think of getting a pizza. There is a place in Kingston Pa located on Pierce Street called Tirado's Pizza & Mexican Grill. Now a while back I stopped here and tried one of their Mexican dishes, Ill link that video below. Now who would of thought, I didn't, Boy was I impressed, this pizza was really delicious, reminded me of the pizza that I would get years ago back in the 80's, that's how good I thought this was. Now I walked in and grabbed a seat, I was greeted in a welcoming manor where the young man took my drink order as well as bring you some complimentary chips with homemade salsa. The pizza sauce to tasted like a traditional more then a sweet sauce. I would recommend everyone to try this place out. Their menu has something for just about everyone. I will be back to try some more dishes, thank you to the staff here at Tirado's for a great dining experience.

They definitely lose out on money from drinks bc a lot of the time we end up getting one drink each, but the server never comes back or asks if we want anything else so we just have the one with our meal and leave to go elsewhere. It also affects their tips bc the more people order the higher the tip... So... ??? Unless it's just laziness and they don't care about the $ bc they all do like to hang out talking instead of checking on tables. The other night we were told the bar closed a little after 9, but they're opened til 10 and there were still other tables there and some had just arrived. So why close it way before closing time?

I recently stumbled upon a hidden gem in Wilkes Barre that has forever changed my perception of…read moreLatin cuisine - a little cart that serves up the most mouthwatering arepas (not on the menu - $8 and it takes 8 minutes to make) and a wide array of Mexican delights. From the moment I took my first bite, I knew it was authentic. 99% of the customers are Hispanic, and you can also bring your beer and sip it while enjoying the food. They take credit card payments, and you can pay via apple pay, etc. This truck might not catch your eye at first glance, but believe me, it's a culinary treasure waiting to be discovered. These golden, crispy corn arepa pockets are filled with a variety of delectable ingredients that will make your taste buds dance with joy. Order only one because it's filing. The hot sauces that accompany the arepas are okay. Perhaps skip them. We had chicken arepas. They recently raised the price from $6 to $8 per arepa, and my Latin friends were not happy with the price increase but it does take 8 minutes to make them. Their menu features an extensive selection of tacos, burritos, and quesadillas (enough for two meals at $13 per quesadilla), all made with the freshest ingredients. Whether you opt for the succulent carne asada, the zesty al pastor, or the flavorful vegetarian options, you'll be treated to an explosion of flavors that will transport you straight to the streets of Mexico. While we were eating, several Mexican construction workers came for their dinner, as well as some white-non Hispanic patrons who came because the aroma of the food was amazing. Don't expect it to be a 5-star restaurant. As for the ambiance, it's a "hole in the wall." It's a place where the focus is entirely on the food, and that's exactly how it should be. If you're a fan of Latin and Mexican cuisine and find yourself in Wilkes Barre, you simply must try this place. And for those of you who don't speak Spanish, they speak fluent English.
