The food is good but they serve very little for the price. The cashier is bitter. The service is very bad.

This place is a hole in the wall that should one day disappear into the Blackness of night and never come up again the bathroom does not have a toilet seat because the owners are too cheap to buy a toilet seat for the bathroom if I was a city inspector or health inspector I would definitely give this place a thumbs down

Awful customer service food wasn’t good overpriced place looks run down I’ve had better Mexican food many other places I’ll never go back here I don’t recommend!

Horrible service, the staff here seem to be a bit…off. Expired & stale products on shelves, and they sure do love their TV time. Don’t walk in to interrupt their TV time or they’ll give you odd looks as if like you came from a different planet.

Small dining area in back of this bodega in a strip mall. Really enjoyed the massive special burrito (pineapple marinated pork-wow!) with rice and refried beans on the side. Chef came out of kitchen to check up on us when he saw how much we were enjoying the lunch. Relaxed, leisurely pace (it’s not fast food. Relax, look around)

Favorite Mexican restaurant in the Harrisburg area!! Their burritos are the best!!

Our favorite Mexican restaurant in the Harrisburg area. Authentic food made to order. Small bodega with small kitchen, indoor seating. Aqua Fresca to drink or grab a soda from the refrigerated unit. Their Chili Relleno's are great. Tried the loaded Oaxaquena torta/ sandwich this time. My wife the street style tacos al pastor and carne asada. The shrimp cocktail is to die for. Spanish a plus but not necessary. Try em, you won't be disappointed.Parking: Ample off street parking .

One of the top Mexican Restaurant in the Harrisburg area. Had some novel touches, like tacos with specially marinated pork with pineapple. 3 different sauce toppings available on many dishes. Everything was made fresh, so be prepared to wait. Also, don't be put off by the interior that at first glance looks like a small Mexican grocery. There is a small dining area in the back left and a restaurant kitchen in the very back. Worth several trips to explore the interesting menue.

Food was ok, though the sides were cold. More of a taco stand/bodega feel. Probably won't be back.

Food was okay, wasn't seasoned very well and was a long wait time despite being the only ones there. Service was also near non existent and the food was pricey for what you get. I would much rather recommend Mi Tierra.

We came for dine in and was surprised to find only a few tables in a very small seating area within a grocery store type atmosphere. There was also a television in the seating area with Spanish tv shows playing the entire time. The food was good. I understand the small space- I just wasn't thrilled with having my son distracted by the tv during dinner time. We don't do tv during dinner at home and certainly not at a restaurant. It was a losing battle even with the unfamiliar language on the tv. Like I said the food was tasty though, and the staff friendly- I'm just not thrilled on the distracting atmosphere of both tv and grocery store all right by the dinner table.

Don't go here!! The first reason is because the food is disgusting and doesn't even taste authentically Mexican and the meat wasn't seasoned at all. The second reason is because it's overpriced. The third reason is that the customer service is horrible! The cashier was so rude plus didn't offer any condiments or napkins. Sorry excuse for Mexican Cuisine.
