A glass enclosed keg room with 16 different draft beers, a three-story glowing tequila tower surrounded by 80 varieties of tequila, and a wall of hand painted sugar skulls from Mexico are just the beginning of your experience at Torre! The margaritas are the freshest you will find – made with fresh squeezed lime juice – and the five different types of guacamole come made-to-order for your whole table to enjoy. Our menu is perfect for sharing: why choose from house-smoked pulled pork nachos, Prime skirt steak and citrus tequila shrimp fajitas when you can try it all? A variety of gluten free items, vegetarian dishes and a Kids Menu with a twist make Torre a place everyone can enjoy. Top off your meal with one of our delicious desserts – like churros, tres leches cake with avocado ice cream and Mexican hot chocolate – or grab a seat at the bar to taste a flight of premium tequilas. It’s a Mexican fiesta with a modern twist that’s fun, bold, and upbeat: a must-visit in the Lehigh Valley.

    We always have amazing food and service here. This morning's brunch was exceptionally busy. We did not mind the wait, as we could catch up with our college-age son while waiting. The wait staff was a bit slow returning to bring take-out containers & the bill, but I am certain it was due to busyness. No matter -- we will be back!

    Dining experience was excellent. Justin was as attentive and knowledgeable . I had the veal chop which was expertly presented over squash hash, pre sliced off the bone. The bone in filet was delicious and melt in you mouth. Next time I will order a sauce. Scallops app is a go too. Desserts are house made and enough for 4 to share.

    Sports and social was the best place to go before the show at the Arena across the street! Couldn’t be more convenient. We got the appetizer tower, which was more than enough food for four of us!
