This place is the definition of a neighborhood gem! The atmosphere inside is warm and welcoming and festive as is the staff. The drink menu is so fun and the food menu is not overwhelming. It has all the right key choices for Mexican food and then some unique specials. There is outdoor seating but we chose inside. We had the chicken and the asada burritos and my boyfriend couldn't stop raving about them the rest of the nignt! We got the guacamole as appetizer. It had a nice little kick to it and was so fresh and delicious! Run don't walk to this spot!

About the restaurant

Fiesta Mexico is a beautiful Mexican restaurant that is great for everything from dates to celebrations. The interior has stunning archways and fantastic décor. There is a full bar so that patrons can sip on fruity margaritas to go with their meals. Fiesta Mexico is open every day of the week for lunch and dinner. The Fiesta Mexico menu is quite extensive and has great options for vegetarians and non-vegetarians. The queso fundido and cheese quesadilla are mouthwatering and addicting. Nacho lovers can order options like bean nachos and beef nachos, or chorizo nachos and chicken nachos. Other favorites are the carne asada with tender steak and guacamole salad. Dinner combinations are very popular as well so that diners can try a variety of items like enchiladas and tacos when ordering just one meal.

I have eaten here several times in the past. I love Mexican food, and Fiesta Mexico never disappoints with theirs. Tequila flights are always so delicious too. I wanted to order the spicy tequila flight, but I made a mistake when ordering and got the normal flight. My mistake, but it’s ok, gives me one more reason to come back again! 😊

Center City

About the restaurant

Inspired by the cuisines of Puebla and Veracruz, El Rey captures the essence of Mexican home cooking. Boisterous and broken-in like a laidback roadside cantina, the dining room hums from midday to late-night. Folk art, kitchsy found objects and vintage movie posters adorn the walls, providing plenty of visual stimuli for eaters digging into authentic tacos, tortas, enchiladas, sopes and more. Add a bar stocked with the best tequilas, mezcals and cervezas and you’ve got a cantina fit for a king.

We were served by Rachel T. out on the patio, she was absolutely amazing. Perfect timing during our entire visit. The staff was friendly and from beverages to the food, everything was amazing. I dine here frequently and this was by far my best experience.

Center Valley

About the restaurant

A glass enclosed keg room with 16 different draft beers, a three-story glowing tequila tower surrounded by 80 varieties of tequila, and a wall of hand painted sugar skulls from Mexico are just the beginning of your experience at Torre! The margaritas are the freshest you will find – made with fresh squeezed lime juice – and the five different types of guacamole come made-to-order for your whole table to enjoy. Our menu is perfect for sharing: why choose from house-smoked pulled pork nachos, Prime skirt steak and citrus tequila shrimp fajitas when you can try it all? A variety of gluten free items, vegetarian dishes and a Kids Menu with a twist make Torre a place everyone can enjoy. Top off your meal with one of our delicious desserts – like churros, tres leches cake with avocado ice cream and Mexican hot chocolate – or grab a seat at the bar to taste a flight of premium tequilas. It’s a Mexican fiesta with a modern twist that’s fun, bold, and upbeat: a must-visit in the Lehigh Valley.

Great night for outdoor dining. Margaritas were delicious, and the traditional guacamole and queso con chorizo were delicious starters. We had everything from tacos and quesadillas to shrimp with scallops as entrees and all were excellent. There was some street noise with motorcycles revving their engines but for the most part it was quiet. Service was solid.
