Pleasantly surprised! Walked in on a whim. The food had amazing flavor. 100 percent Authentic Mexican. Can't say enough tasty, tasty!

Very disappointed. Drove 30 mins to go have family luncheon at this restaurant and it was CLOSED. They are supposed to be open on Sundays and google says they are open???????????? how upsetting. No sign or nothing as to why they are closed on a day they are supposed to be open. read more

Peter food and made sure to tell the girl 2 times no peppers and onions. she assured me no peppers and onions. I called back a they were rude and unprofessional and didn't offer to do anything about. I live about 30 minutes away and the food wasn't ready when we got there to pick it up. Not to mention the food is bland. Will not go back to this establishment for many reasons! read more

The food is very good. The service can be a little slow. You might not get a drink refill because you might not see the waitress soon enough. A large party might have some people done eating before others are served. Don't let my complaints deter you. Bottom line: this is a good choice for Mexican food. The ambiance is festive, but competing conversations make it loud when crowded. It closes at 9. No late dinners here. read more

La Herencia El Camacho - Pollo Fajita - Mexican Near Me - Catasauqua, Pennsylvania

I have been wanting to try this restaurant for years. Final got in and ordered the quesadilla de polo. WOW!! This was loaded with cheese and chicken with the perfect amount of lettuce, onion, and sour cream. The outer show was crispy that added another layer to all the flavor and textures. Highly recommend this mom and pop shop. The service was amazing, very helpful during the ordering process. Your not going her for ambiance, just keep that in mind. read more

10/10 Great Food ! everytime I come in this place they take care of me and super nice I've been going here for 7 years now

Finally! Proper Mexican in Allentown! This place is gem. Highly recommend the Molcajete for two. It doesn't disappoint. Atmosphere is rustic and gives you the feel of the Mexican restaurant it is. read more

The food was not very good. The service was ok but we were the only people in tbe restaurant at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. My burrito was more like a wrap. It was literally wrapped in about 5 or 6 small tortillas and they just fell apart. My husband meal wasn't very good either. Nothing had flavor. All of the salsa options were super hot. Not everyone can eat that type of salsa. read more

The food was excellent but the woman's attitude was not. Just not friendly at all. I even asked my guests if I said anything wrong. Also be careful. Either I was way overcharged or the tip was already added in. I didn't realize that and tipped generously on top of what I was charged. When I got home I went over the prices from the menu online wondering why my bill was so much and only then realized this. So she ended up getting $23 tip on a $56 order (that's including taxes.) And she STILL had an attitude while ringing us out and seeing the size tip I mistakenly left her. (She did not point out that the tip was already included. ) read more

I ordered three tacos: steak, chicken and shrimp. I also ordered guacamole with chips. The food is amazing. I am new to the area and was looking for good tacos with chips and guacamole. This I would recommend to anyone. I will be a return customer. read more

La Herencia El Camacho - Gordita - Mexican Near Me - Catasauqua, Pennsylvania

i've always drove by & wondered how the food was. we decided to stop in today & im sure glad we did because i found one of my new favorite places. before our food came, we were given tortillas & two sauces, both fresh and delicious. we ordered guacamole as an appetizer & that was beyond words - not your typical, bland guacamole. this was absolutely delicious. i got two shrimp tacos & the rice. i worried i didn't order enough food but i was absolutely stuffed and had some to take home because the portions were so generous. my shrimp tacos were double shell & extremely flavorful. the rice was spot on. i got carnitas to go for my boyfriend who's a total food snob & he was impressed - this was an hour later by the time i got it to him so that speaks volumes. the atmosphere was nice. we dined on the patio which had a relaxing atmosphere. the staff was friendly & attentive. five stars just isn't enough. the prices are beyond reasonable. definitely not your on the boarder/taco bell/chipotle - all the food was fresh & authentic. (bonus: the bathroom is immaculate!! which is a hard to find i feel like!) read more

THIS PLACE kicks ass. If you like Mexican food you need to go to this place. Really don't understand the negative reviews. All six people at our table fully enjoyed our food. Two at our table have been here multiple times. Give a try. read more

Hands down the best food I've had in Catty so far. THANK YOU!!!! The salsa is flavorful and spicy, the chips were made fresh, and the enchiladas were fantastic! Very authentic. My server was kind, gracious and the food came out in minutes. This place is BYOB. Go support these folks! It's the real deal. read more

This is a new to me spot. I found the food to be reasonably priced and very authentic. Guacamole was fresh and mole sauce tasty. Definitely will be back. read more

I grew up in California and can say honestly that La Herencia El Camacho knows what Mexican food is. It's hard to find out here in Pennsyltucky. Although Catasauqua isn't the busiest town around, it's worth popping over for. Just about 10 minutes from ABE (the airport) and the Target shopping center on Airport Road... you've gotta come taste it to believe it. Limes, radishes and cucumbers are served with the tacos and CILANTRO... LOTS OF CILANTRO - so fresh and amazing. They serve nice fresh hot tortilla chips with amazing salsa too... one is off-the-chain spicy, so make sure you have water on hand before you dig in. The food comes fast, the staff is friendly, and they currently have a Taco Tuesday special going that is mind blowing - you can walk out with a full belly for under $8. FANTASTIC. read more

Can't say enough good things about the food or the outstanding service I received from Eduardo and his staff. And the food I'm from California and know a good taco! and pride myself in knowing good Mexican food AT LAST I have found it in La Herencia El Camacho. Seriously without a doubt the best Mexican food I've had since I've been on the east coast since 2002 Highly HIGHLY recommend this restaurant as 100% authentic Mexican food read more

Nice friendly atmosphere and great food. Timely service. I would definitely go there again

Excellent Mexican food. You can eat at the restaurant (BYOB) or across the street at Taylor House Brewing - your order at the brewery and they go get it for you. If you are looking for authentic Mexican food, this is a great choice! read more

One of my favorite spots in the Lehigh valley for a taco night. Take out or dine in the food is delicious. My fiancé isn't very adventurous when it comes to trying new food but we tried quite a few menu items one night and it did not disappoint! We love the nachos, obviously the tacos are phenomenal especially the steak! His fav is the Pambasos! I'm always recommending! read more

Very good authentic Mexican food. The tacos al pastor were great. The complimentary chips were fresh made and the two sauces which came with them were outstanding. The red sauce has quite a kick. Service was good and our food came out pretty quickly. We'd definitely go back here. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is the atmosphere and parking area wasn't lit making it hard to see. Price was very reasonable. We had three tacos, a side of rice, enchiladas and a soda for about $25. read more

The food wasnt bad. The enchiladas were okie for authentic Mexican but ordering rice and beans that should have been 3$ for 8$ and having to pay for each bottle of water when the waitress specifically said the red sauce for the chips were very spicy was a bit to much. Refills on water and better prices please and this could have been 4 stars. read more

Usually I never write reviews because I know some restaurants slip from time to time but this time was probably the worst. The service isn't bad at all, people are friendly and place is clean. The food, however, it's quite disgusting and far from authentic which was odd considering the family is from Mexican heritage, I think. Food was dull and cold and recipes were messed up. I ordered a chicken Huarache but instead got a flour tortilla with huge chunks of onions and peppers, even with that, still no flavor at all. Chicken was definitely the left overs of someone else's chicken fajitas. Perhaps a good place to come and socialize but their food is complete trash. read more

I saw this place getting good reviews on Google so I decided to try it out. We had lunch not long ago. I looked at the menu and didn't see any burritos. Can you imagine an authentic Mexican restaurant without a burrito on the menu?? The server told me they are revising the menu. Ummm, the place is fairly new...and you don't have a burrito on the menu? She said they would make one for me. (Gee thanks) What ended up being served was a small chicken wrap that was NOTHING like a burrito. I will say, it was good...but it wasn't want I wanted or ordered. Then came the best part. The server brought the check. The small chicken wrap that wasn't a burrito...was $15. I was shocked. $15 for a small wrap and I didn't even order a drink (I had water). I don't know how this place is getting such good reviews. Save your money and go someplace else. read more

Sat there for at least 15-20min and not one person came around. No water, no drinks, no chips...got up and as we're walking out we're told to have a great night just to feel even more non existent. Went to "on the border" so we can at least get some kind of attention. read more

They have the absolute best Mexican food I have had thus far from nyc to pa. The food is always fresh the prices are great. I recommend the pork nachos or chicken quesadilla you won't regret it. read more

We went twice; I believe in always giving a second chance. Each time we tried several different things. The only thing we liked was the al pastor taco. It is the only one we felt had good taste and flavor. Other's, the meat felt dry or not seasoned well. It was also hot as all heck in there both times we went. I was a little disappointed was really hoping for some real delicious authentic food. read more

My husband and I visit the Catasaqua area monthly to see our grandson. We are from Harrisburg. My daughter had heard great reviews for this restaurant so we decided to have lunch there last month. We checked their WEB site for the operating hours on Sunday (10-7). When we got there at 11:30, they were closed. We were very disappointed but decided to try it next month. Yesterday, my daughter text this business to confirm that they will be opened and the response was "we will be opened from 10-7". When we arrived at 12:30, guess what??? The restaurant was closed. So as anxious as we were to try this place, based on such good reviews, we have now written it OFF and will be dining else where in the Catasaqua area. I would recommend that you call before going there, but that didn't work for us. read more

Excellent... Authentic, big portions, nicest staff. Love this place, AAAAA

This was THE best authentic Mexican food in the Lehigh Valley. We will be back and share our experience with others. Keep up the good work!

Again, this is somebodies version of Mexican Cuisine. Having been raised in Mexico was desperate to find some authentic Mexican food. This establishment tried and from what I gather, the owners are originally from Mexico.Unfortunately, their cooking style didn't reflect that. The homemade salsas (Green and Red) were acceptable. The rest of the dinner not so much. The Gorditas were a deep fried corn biscuit, split in half and dripping with old rancid oil. Likewise the Carnitas filling was greasy, way over cooked, dry and lacked any real flavor. The Chicken Quesadilla was filled with minced chicken bits, initially flavorful, then became greasy and unappealing. Quac was mediocre and the Pico was the same. Clean oil and better cooking techniques would serve this place well. The bones are there, but the preparation is lacking. Maybe, we got there too early for the dinner crowd and got the warmed up lunch leftovers. Shame, went quite a way to get to this place. Generally place was clean and friendly and service good. Will give it another try at a later date, maybe will get "comida de mi patria!!!" read more
