Probably won't be returning. I make better nachos at home…read more It all tasted like it came out of can. We ordered meatless meat nachos and a beef burrito. The prices were reasonable and the food was ready on time. The person was friendly. The nachos had fresh lettuce and that's about it. Had canned cheese sauce, not queso sauce. The red salsa, pico de gallo and guacamole all tasted like the stuff that comes in a jar or sealed plastic container at the grocery store. The meatless meat might have been gardein. It wasn't Impossible Meat or Beyond Meat. The portion on the "meat" was generous but the toppings were sparse. There was a 3oz black to go container of each. There was supposed to be shredded cheese but I only found a couple pieces. I had to add my own toppings when I got home. Wife says there didn't seem to be shredded cheese in her burrito either. Said it was bland.

El Carbonaso is a casual, counter service Peruvian restaurant located on West Union Boulevard in…read moreBethlehem. It's open Wednesday through Sunday from 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM. With the former owners of Machu Picchu behind it, I knew I was in for some good, authentic Peruvian food. I started with the causa de pollo, a yellow pepper seasoned mashed potato dish filled with chicken. It reminded me of a chicken salad sandwich, but layered with potato instead of bread. Next was the caldo de gallina, a hearty, comforting chicken soup with a rich broth, loaded with chicken on the bone, potatoes, and noodles. For my main I went with the chaufa de 3 carnes, a Peruvian stir-fried rice with chicken, beef and shrimp. My friend had the lomo saltado de pollo, which is sautéed chicken with tomatoes, onions, and fries. If you want some extra flavor, the white sauce is a must. It's a creamy garlic mayo that goes great with everything. Overall, a great spot. The staff at El Carbonaso does Peruvian food right.

My family and I are regulars here, and we truly enjoy the food and the service. We've gotten to…read moreknow several of the servers and bartenders over the years, which is one of the reasons we keep coming back. Unfortunately, we arrived around 8:40 tonight and were told the restaurant closes at 9:00 and that the kitchen was already closing. I explained that we knew exactly what we wanted and could place our order immediately. The host went to speak with a manager, but the manager came back with the same response, so we left. I completely understand that the staff wants to finish up and get home. I also realize that arriving 20 minutes before closing is not ideal. Having worked in the hospitality industry for many years, I know better than to make a habit of that. That said, there were still guests dining in the restaurant, and from my perspective, turning away guests who are ready to order immediately before the posted closing time is disappointing. At our business, we would never turn away a guest during our posted operating hours. I wanted to share this feedback because we genuinely enjoy your restaurant and hope it can be taken in the spirit in which it's intended.

I would give zero if I could HORRIBLE SERVICE at the bar…read more You have to wave to get attention Margaritas were very nice, eventually A couple got up and left after 10 minutes of being ignored And my street taco had a hair in it I was credited for it, but no apology. Our dinner plates sat in front of us for 20 minutes I had to ask for help 3 times to clear. Just not worth the disappointment

As a Dominican, I truly love supporting Dominican businesses, and I fell in love with this place…read morethe moment we walked in. The space is filled with so many Dominican touches that brought back pure nostalgia. From the sayings and pictures of our history painted on the walls to the explanations behind them, it was beautiful to see our culture and history represented so thoughtfully, and even better that others get to learn about our country through it. Dining in with my family was a great experience. Having the option to choose from the prepared food or order directly from the menu was a huge plus. Everything we ate was incredibly flavorful and clearly made with love. I didn't just leave with a full belly, I left with a full heart. Truly a special place.

Very tasty food! My family enjoyed a variety of items from the menu and all were delicious…read more Initially had concern as they said they were out of rice (cooked) and it might be 45" to an hour for there to be more. Gotta have our rice and beans! It turned out okay though and we enjoyed a delicious Yaroa de pollo, which was listed as an entree but was an excellent appetizer with flavorful shredded chicken, mixed with French fries with mayo and ketchup and covered in melted delicious cheese. A big hit for all of us including a 2 year old! Entrees came with very good beans and the rice showed up too! The sweet plantains were very good as an added side. A variety of frosty beverages, sodas and fruity drinks were offered. BYOB seems to be accepted. We had a very friendly server and the place had a nice vibe. I loved hearing the Dominican music in the background as it just made it all feel very tropical. This place is worth checking out.

I've been meaning to try this place for awhile now. M'lady and i decided to dine here for dinner…read moreand we both had a good time. The service was good and the ambiance was calm and cozy. We ordered two different appetizers starting with beef empanadas and salchipapas (Fries and sausage) and both were delicious! I always enjoy a crispy empanada that's soft and flavor packed on the inside some places just don't get it right but Mi Case does a good job. The salchipapas was new to me but nothing exotic yet so flavorful i never imagined i'd eat fries and sausage this way but I enjoyed it! For our main course my gf had the mini paisa plate that took a little longer than expected to come out but looked and tasted amazing when it did. I had the traditional steak plate with my steak being served to me on a hot plate with some of the best cuts i've ever eaten it was well seasoned and juicy. On the side i had two eggs which i ate over the steak and tostones which might've been my favorite pick there. Overall we left with full bellies and leftovers! For the food quality i'd say the price is fair. Service is well on the good side and if you dine in expect slightly longer wait times for main courses as they bring you A LOT of food!

I've had very…read moreminimal experience with this type of cuisine, so I was pretty excited to find this place close to where I was staying. The whole street the restaurant is on feels steeped in history and this place was no exception. They have pretty expansive list of plates. I ordered the Desayuno Tipico (beans, eggs with salsa, sausage, curtido, a slice of cheese, and pupusas) and it was amazing! I can see why this place is packed during the lunch rush. The prices were reasonable and the portions large. I was able to experience this place earlier in the morning, so it felt like I had the place to myself. I look forward to trying more from this cuisine when the opportunity presents itself! Thanks for a great experience.

Hey my dear foodies!…read more I finally decided to check out Tequila House, and I ordered the salmon flour tacos along with a platter loaded with steak, chicken, and cheese, served with rice and refried beans. Overall, the food was good! The salmon could have used a little more seasoning, but I still enjoyed it. For my drink, I ordered a frozen passion fruit margarita, which was refreshing and paired perfectly with the meal. One thing I really enjoyed was the atmosphere. They had live music, which was a nice touch and added to the overall experience. The restaurant has a vibrant Mexican vibe with a warm, family-friendly atmosphere that makes you feel welcome. The service was surprisingly quick, even though the restaurant wasn't packed, which I definitely appreciated. It's always nice when you don't have to wait long for good food and drinks! They also offer happy hour specials, so I'll definitely be coming back to check those out. Overall rating: 8/10 Good food, quick service, live music, and a family-friendly atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit if you're looking for a casual Mexican dining experience! fyi lol we was so hungry forgot to take pics #FoodieFinds #TequilaHouse #MexicanFood #LiveMusic #FoodReview #MargaritaLover #FamilyFriendly #FoodieAdventures #HappyHour #SupportLocalRestaurants

I finally managed to get my car in Cali's parking lot. But, I had to wait for another patron (which…read moredidn't take long) to arrive and I followed them into the restaurant. It's not easy to figure out where the enrtance is. Okay, so I ordered the the ground beef tacos for $12 bucks. You get 2 tacos in a basket with tortilla chips. The chips are a bit weird and different, still not sure how much I liked them. Like Moe's, they have a salsa bar with 4 salsa choices along with various condiments. The salsa's are tasty and I like the flavor in all 3 I tried. I ordered tacos and what they brought to my table resembled a tacos, but the taco expectation ended there. These so called tacos, to me, aren't realy tacos at all. Their assembelled usinf both a hard shell and a soft shell (Taco Bell offers something similar). Whatever you call it, taco is not the thought that comed to mind when eating it. I was hungry and did manage to eat both of the tacos, but considered throwing out the 2nd taco. I was confused and unsure what I was eating. The ground beef wasn't bad, but my main complaint at a Mexican Eatery nearby (Plaza Azteca} is the same. The ground beef is unseasoned. This is fundamentally wrong to me. All the Taco Kits at the grocery store come with a seasoning packet to add to the ground beef when preparing the tacos. I left unhappy, that's not to say I wouldn't try their burrito's. They looked good as seen on other patrons tables. I'm 70 years old and the theme of Cali reminds me of the 60's/70's. The decor, interior, and interior are psychedelic. Retro throwback to the hippie days. The staff reflects that theme - they came across in a kind weird way to me; but not in a bad way! Their is no shortage of happy campers enjoying their lunch (I went at 1PM). It seems like a cult following which speaks to the freshness and quality of the food served. I'm still unsure what was in the alleged tacos I ate. Lol!
