My spouse and I dined at the Easton location of Tacos y
Tequila (TyT) for dinner on a Saturday evening in early November 2019. The
restaurant and bar is open daily for lunch and dinner.
Tacos y Tequila opened in 2017 in the space formerly
occupied by the Lone Star Steakhouse in Palmer Township off the 25th
Street exit of Route 22, in the same vicinity as the Olive Garden, Cask
Taphouse (formerly Tilted Kilt and Don Pablos), and the Tic Toc Diner. A second
location of Tacos y Tequila occupies the former Centro restaurant space in
downtown Allentown.
The Easton location offers a bar area as well as a spacious
high-ceilinged dining room. The dining room has booths arranged against several
walls, with free-standing tables of various sizes and configurations positioned
in the middle of the room. (The booths are fairly private since they contain a
high divider that separates one booth from the next. Patrons can also dine in
the bar area at high-top tables or at the bar itself.
As its name implies, Tacos y Tequila serves Mexican cuisine.
While we perused the menu, our served delivered complimentary tortilla chips
and salsa (which they gladly refilled later during our meal). As a starter, we
shared the guacamole, prepared tableside from a rolling cart. As our main
dishes, we ordered the street tacos (one al pastor [marinated pork], one
barbacoa [beef], and one carnitas [shredded pork]) and the carne a la
Tampiquena (skirt steak, cheese enchilada, rice, and beans). For dessert, we
shared the cheesecake flan.
We enjoyed our dinner at the Easton location of Tacos y
Tequila Cocina y Cantina.
