I first started going here when I was a kid when they were in Clarks Summit. I loved it then even though I had no idea about Mexican food. I visited a few times at their location by the University and then just once at the Southside location. I moved out of the area, but always had a fond remembrance of the flavor. So I decided to visit again when I was in town with family. Not having the food in over 25 years, I was nostalgic but warned the family that this isn 't good food . To my surprise, the food tasted exactly as I remembered and it was GREAT! Portion sizes are huge, service was outstanding, and price is very reasonable. Realistically, I 'd rate it a 4.7 star, but I 'll definitely be b...
Cute little spot in Scranton with a drive thru. I opted to come in for lunch on my way into town and I'm glad I did! The soft tacos (with hand made flour tortillas) are STUFFED and quite the deal for $2.99 each. I ate one and was pretty much full! The rice and beans are exactly what they need to be. Very enjoyable!
NEW OWNERS NOT THE ORIGINAL FROM 1980s. Cheese Enchilada: tasted like it was made ahead and frozen. Tortilla wraps broke apart like they were stale, it had 2 types of cheese on it, melted cheese was good the shredded cheese didn't even melt. The sauce was real watery so the enchilada meal was like mush!!
I heard there are new owners, and I have to say I would recommend skipping this place! It lacks authenticity completely. The steak burrito supreme was small and lacked flavor. The enchiladas were a messy mix with ground meat, and the guacamole was just awful. Overall, the portions are way overpriced!

I have driven by this joint countless times and finally stopped in one day. I liked that they had a taco special. I believe it was 5 hard shell tacos for $10. Though the vegetarian options were limited I did enjoy the bean taco. Funky inter design, also a drive thru! Vegetarian options: Bean taco
I heard good things about this place and decided to check in while I was in the neighborhood. Was worried about parking but they have their own parking. Had a shrimp burrito, it was yummy! Good clean food with VERY fresh vegetables. It was so good I ordered another. Very clean modern place.
The service was excellent and very friendly, the portions were generous, and the food was incredibly delicious. It made me wish I lived in Scranton!
Taco Bandido is a quick order taco shop with a drive-through, very friendly service, pretty good food, and easy to get to right off Main.

I wasn't impressed at all; the food didn't look appetizing, and I can't recommend it.
Grew up on these tacos and still one of my favorite places to go for lunch
