Casa De Tellez Restaurant & Bar

You get what you pay for at Casa De Tellez.  The food is excellent!  You pay a little more than what you're used to in the Pottsville area, but it's worth it.  Only other place you can get a burrito in this area is Sheetz (at the time of writing this review)!  Our waitress was very kind and patient with us after we've been drinking for many hours.  Dim decor and inconvenient location is my only gripe with this place.  Other than that, it's a great restaurant to check out when you're tired of the homogenous Italian and Chinese places.

First off, the margaritas were awesome. Bottom line - if a heart wing had Mexican Night, this would be it- NO seasoning on the meat in the tacos or the beans. Completely bland. Our waitress was rude and paid no attention to us. And, she took 4 of the 6 orders and then said "I'll be back in a minute." She brought a couple of orders out and gave someone their check, then returned without any type of explanation or apology. Surreal. The atmosphere is dingy and the lights are covered in dust. My wife worked here 28 years ago, and she said it was packed. Now, it's almost empty on a Saturday night, and understandably so.  Oh, the prices are outrageous for what you get!

Avoid this place, I can sadly say at one time it was my favorite restaurant growing up and it has gone down hill fast.  Food quality is poor and prices are higher than any comparable restaurant in the area.   The owner is trying to sell the restaurant and seems to be trying to milk every dollar from their customers while reducing the quality of food and service at the same time.
