Nestled in the heart of Reading, PA, El Puente Mexican Store at 431 N 6th St offers a menu brimming with authentic flavors and bold, traditional dishes. Their selection spans from street-style tacos to hearty platters, making it a go-to spot for lovers of genuine Mexican cuisine.
The Tacos are a highlight, served on soft corn tortillas and filled with an array of proteins, including al pastor, carne asada, pollo, carnitas, and the ever-popular barbacoa. Each bite bursts with seasoned meats, fresh onions, and fragrant cilantro, perfectly complemented by their homemade salsas. If you're craving something heartier, the Burritos come packed with rice, beans, cheese, and your choice of meat, all wrapped in a warm flour tortilla.
For a traditional favorite, the Tamales are a must-try. These handcrafted delights feature soft masa stuffed with pork, chicken, or cheese and jalapeños, steamed to perfection in a corn husk. The Quesadillas offer another comforting option, loaded with melted cheese and your choice of filling, served with fresh guacamole and crema on the side.
Seafood lovers will appreciate the Ceviche, a refreshing mix of shrimp, lime juice, tomatoes, onions, and cilantro, perfect for a light yet flavorful dish. Meanwhile, the Chiles Rellenos showcase roasted poblano peppers stuffed with cheese or meat, bathed in a rich tomato sauce.
Breakfast is also covered with dishes like Huevos Rancheros, featuring eggs over a crispy tortilla topped with ranchero sauce, and the satisfying Chilaquiles, tortilla chips drenched in green or red sauce, topped with crema and cheese, and optionally served with eggs or shredded chicken.
For a truly authentic experience, try their Menudo, a slow-cooked tripe soup rich in spices, or the Pozole, a hominy-based stew with tender pork, served with crisp radishes, shredded cabbage, and lime.
No meal is complete without their Agua Frescas, refreshing fruit-based drinks like horchata, tamarindo, and jamaica, offering the perfect balance to the bold flavors of their dishes. Whether you're in the mood for tacos, a steaming bowl of pozole, or a classic burrito, El Puente Mexican Store delivers a menu that celebrates the vibrant essence of Mexican cuisine.
