    Easy to miss. No mention of a restaurant.

    Truly authentic Mexican food in Bristol PA. This place is so easy to miss, as it's in the back of a small Mexican grocery store. As you pass through the store, you can tell it's authentic. Once in back, there are three tables and a deli-type counter. You order by number with maybe 10 choices. My favorite is the chicken tacos that come three to an order with nicely seasoned chicken, cilantro and onion. The salsa verde is a wonderful compliment. The chicken quesadillas are also fantastic with such good queso cheese. Come git you some, just don't tell others. Great little joint that you'll want to keep to yourself.

    Chicken quesadilla, small salad with avacado and tomato, small side of Mexican rice. (All included with quesadilla) fucking banging !

    They have very good authentic Spanish food. I recommend the Mexican rice and the chicken quesadilla. Also they have really good prices. Definitely will be coming back. I stop here during my school lunch breaks. Muchos gracias !

    Stopped for a quick bite, small eat in area clearly not a restaurant. Bottles of soda and a 9 item photo menu. Got a beef burreto and the chicken quesadilla. Food is very good and for the serving size are right for the price

    Let me start by saying that I'm not a huge fan of the toppings that are usually included on authentic Mexican tacos. I'm a huge lover of sour cream and although it isn't traditional on a lot of food, I absolutely love the flavor and creaminess that it brings to so many dishes, especially Latino food. The restaurant in the back of this Mexican grocery is one place that I've been wanting to go to for a while. The first time I went several months ago, I was met with closed doors because the hours listed on Google are not accurate. I came far too late. When I finally made it in today, I was astounded by the incredibly wide range of Mexican items they had at the grocery. It's awesome to find a place like this in Bristol. I ordered a set of 3 tacos el pastor and a set of 3 tacos carne asada. I didn't sit in as I knew I'd prefer to eat them in the comfort of my own home. Upon getting home, I added all included toppings to the tacos, but used my own sour cream. I first, however, took a bite before adding my own sour cream. The tacos were quite good, I'd say a solid 3.5/5. I only wished for the meat to be a bit more on the juicier side than the drier side. Adding the sour cream made the tacos a 4/5. The service was prompt and friendly. And of course, my mango Jarritos was a delicious addition to the food. I enjoyed going there and I'd love to go back at some point to really comb through the grocery portion of the place and see what good finds I can discover. There seems like so much to taste, from Mexican candies to drinks to other snacks.

    I was so thrilled to find this Mexican grocery store! Trying to find certain Mexican products in my area is like trying to nail jelly to a tree! Especially when it comes to making chili and needing the right peppers and adobo sauce. I literally look for certain products I need when traveling, just to stock up and have them on hand, but I don't need to do that anymore! The store is jam packed with rows and rows of anything Mexican you need, fresh peppers galore, huge jalapenos, dried peppers and peppers in you name it, be it jelly or hot sauce. Baked goods, candy, drinks, tortilla chips and corn or flour tortillas. They have a small deli area and I zeroed in on chorizo sausages, along with this I bought fresh peppers, pinto beans, refried beans, corn and flour tortillas, a four pound bag of maseca and lots of cans of chipolte peppers in adobo sauce! I know I'm hot and spicy already, but what's a little extra heat? The front parking lot will look empty, but they have the front door locked with a sign asking you to enter around back where you will find another parking area quite full. My sales slip reads Hatboro, I would consider this Warminster, maybe it's on the line. Thank you La Mexicana for coming to town! Gracias a Dios!

    Let me start by saying that I am from California and know what amazing Mexican food is. I recently moved to PA and have been on the hunt for authentic Mexican food. I had a hard time finding La Mexicana but I was in a mission so I eventually found it. I used the address 224 Bristol Pike, Bristol PA. Not the address listed. Once I did that I found it just fine. Onto the review: I called ahead to double check that they were still in business and to see if they had a specific product I was looking for. I immediately was hung up on after asking my question. I tried calling 2 more times and they picked the phone up and hung up without saying a word. I decided I would just drive over there and see if I could find what I was looking for because calling was no help. I decided I would try food while I was there since I had been craving tacos for 5 months. I only tried the carne asada tacos this time as I was in a hurry but the were amazing. Definitely authentic which is what I was looking for. As far as food goes I would give them a 5. Their customer service on the phone leaves a lot to be desired. If there had been another Mexican grocery place within 20 miles of me I probably would have gone there instead just because of that.

    La Mexicana is one of those half Mexican grocery half restaurant places. I've been here a couple times now and the food has been pretty delicious. So far I've tried the tacos and tostadas. The staff here is also very friendly. They have a pretty varied menu which will definitely give you a tough time deciding what to have if you've never been. Note: During the winter, they don't offer some of the items on their menu. Come by and check em out! Also, the address doesn't display properly. It is located in a small strip small across from the Golden Eagle Diner.

    I been living in Bristol for a year now (moved here from Los Angeles) and for a year I couldn't find a Mexican restaurant to save my life! I was used to being surrounded by them. But at last I found this place and after ordering some tacos de asada and a burrito de asada, I must say it was amazing. Just like home. I will be a regular from here on out. Definitely visit this place if you're in Bristol and are looking for a Mexican food restaurant. P.S love that they are also a mini market with a lot of Mexican product.

    I am NOT a Walmart shopper for a multitude of reasons but I was in this shopping center and…read moreliterally needed 2 lemons and I had to decide wether I was going in Walmart or in ShopRite and it's THANKSGIVING EVE ... Walmart won! This is a super center with 2 entrances and a massive parking lot. Walking into the store you must go through what I would say are similar to the metal entryways at amusement parks ... I'm assuming it's for theft prevention given you can't exit through them. Fresh produce is the section you literally walk into so I was able to grab my lemons and take a quick spin in a few other sections just to snap a few pics and I must say the sales floor was really neat and there were actually employees available if you needed help. And checkout was a breeze with no waiting ... tons of registers open and self checkout was smooth too. I had no idea Walmart didn't accept any tap to pay options so I actually had to open my purse to get my credit card out which was slightly annoying lol. All in all a smooth trip to a place I never shop and I had to give them a fair rating because they deserve it based on my experience.

    once again my delivery is missing half the order. $85 worth of stuff stolen by the driver and…read moreabsolutely no one cares. If your having a hard time making ends meet get a job as a Walmart driver at the Burlington Walmart and never pay for your own groceries again...

    I've read many of the reviews here but we are happy customers!…read more We've been customers of Passanante's for over 25 years!!! They reached out to us shortly after we moved in to our house. And we love their food! They have a great selection of products from meats to paper products laundry soap. They have top notch customer service that is always willing to help.

    I hope that anybody considering this service does their homework. I was approached at a home show…read morein January and scheduled the home visit with the salesperson the following week. Although the salesperson was extremely friendly, his knowledge about what he was selling was lacking. Either that, or he acted ignorant simply to justify what he was selling. Luckily, I was adamant about not getting their freezer, so I had no reason to continue this service after the initial purchase. I had specific items requested when we placed the first (and only) order. The primary purchase (simple chicken breasts) were the largest part of the order and it was completely missing from the order. It took multiple emails and a phone call before I finally received them nearly 6 weeks later. The 'thick cut' pork chops were thinner than the standard ones I would get at the store. When I called about it, they assured me I received the right item. I created a spreadsheet with each item against a comparable, high-end, organic item at the 'nicer' grocery stores in the area and found this service to be at least 4x the cost. Everything being individually wrapped sounds good in theory until you open them and realize that you couldn't tell the average (at best) quality until opened. Also, around 10% of them leaked when thawing out which meant the seal was garbage on these. Needless to say, they reached out a couple weeks ago asking when I would like to get my next delivery. I told them to lose my contact information and haven't heard from them since. The issues above were only about half the problems I had with the initial order and overall process. I got conned by the show floor booth worker and learned my lesson. I hope you learn from my mistake.
