Whether you like authentic Mexican food, Tex-Mex, American-style Mexican or California Style, there are Mexican restaurants all over Bucks. Buen provecho! Mexican Restaurants in Bucks County and Nearby* Check out their menu at La Mexicana’s Facebook page and plan ahead. I’ll be back.Īlthough you can order in English, I think a bit of Spanish doesn’t hurt. Everything was fresh, nicely seasoned and just a bit spicy (with some salsa verde on the side to add some kick). Instead I went for two tacos al pastor and a tamale, with a mango Jarrito to wash it down. Unfortunately it wasn’t available, nor was the tripa. I had never had lengua before so I was really looking forward to trying it. Choose your meat and your “vehicle” for it: steak, chicken, barbacoa (BBQ beef), pork, buce (pork intestines), chorizo, al pastor (spicy pork with pineapple and onions), cueritos (pork skin) and, Kristofic’s favorites, lengua (beef tongue) and tripa (I’ll let you figure out that one). Tacos, tortas, gorditos, and tamales comprise most of the menu. Turn left and head to the back, where a deli counter and four tables form the restaurant portion of La Mexicana.

If you are homesick for Mexico or any other Central American countries, this looks like the place to go. You walk through a colorful grocery, filled with both staples and specialty items for the Hispanic community. It’s in a small, nondescript shopping center just half a mile from the intersection of Routes 413 & 13 (on the right, heading north on Route 13). La Mexicana is a little hard to find but well worth it. She used to spend two days a week working at the Courier Times’ office in Levittown where one of her coworkers introduced her to La Mexicana, a small grocery and restaurant in Bristol. Kristofic is the News Director Courier Times. I decided to ask her to lunch at one of her favorite places. She seemed to have really done her homework and had all kinds of good information about where to go. One name that kept popping up in the Facebook discussion was Christina Kristofic. And there were so many places that I had never heard of! It was high time to do a post on Bucks County Mexican restaurants. I love Mexican food so it certainly caught my eye.

It popped up on the Doylestown Facebook page last February and within an hour there must have been three dozen replies (for the full thread, click here). Gerardo’s Drive-In is o nly open on weekends, so plan accordingly.It all began with an innocent question. Inside a taco, it’s hot, tender, and juicy, made perfect with a squeeze of lime, chopped cilantro, and salsa verde. He cooks his barbacoa in the traditional style, with beef-cheek meat and tongue. Gerardo's Drive-Inįor over 40 years, Jose Luis Lopez has made magic at his little shop on the Near Northside, named for his son. Try the street-style “Chilango” tacos with carnitas-slow-cooked, tender pork on mini yellow-corn tortillas-and don’t forget to take a selfie with the I Love Tacos So Much wall near the restaurant’s entrance. One of the only downtown spots to serve authentic Mexican tacos, this establishment caters to the lunch and late-night crowds. Breakfast here is top-notch at lunch, get the puerco en salsa verde. They make their own flour tortillas, which are not only perfectly fluffy, but strong enough to hold their generous contents. This longtime Heights favorite is open at breakfast and lunch only.

After all, it’s just another delicious way to eat elite taco meat. Looking for something a little different? You’ll be impressed with the tortas and quesadillas, also served with trompo, bistek, or both. Roughly translated as “the mother of all tacos,” Tacos La Sultana has two primary choices of meat: trompo and bistek. Located in the southeast region of Houston, this lively taco spot lives up to its name. The original recipe evolved through time and brings together the Middle Eastern seasoning and cooking techniques with the Mexican tortilla and salsas, creating one of the most iconic Mexican dishes. Tio Trompo sticks to the traditional process created by Middle Eastern immigrants that settled in Puebla, Mexico, after World War I. “Trompo Tacos” or “Middle East Tacos” contain marinated pork shawarma that is grilled on a revolving spit. A true taco lover knows that the taco al pastor, also known as red pork trompo meat, is the star of the show.
