Don Carlos Fine Mexican Food & Tequila Bar, a full-service restaurant serving real, homemade Mexican food, is anticipated to open at 1406 Center St. in Bethlehem in the beginning of 2025. Carlos Morales, the owner of Don Carlos, bought the property and intends to make significant renovations before the Mexican eatery opens the following year.
People who have been passing the property in recent weeks have probably already noticed some external improvements, such as colorful murals. On the building's front, artists are painting a range of vibrant Mexican motifs, such as cacti and Day of the Day patterns. The owner of Don Carlos is extremely excited to bring Mexican Culture to Bethlehem.
Morales already owns two El Patron Mexican restaurants in Glen Gardner, New Jersey, and Port Jervis, New York; Don Carlos will be his third Mexican restaurant. In addition, he has five pizzerias in New York and New Jersey. Morales, who lives in Middletown, New York, became acquainted with and drawn to the Lehigh Valley dining scene because he had friends in the restaurant business who dwell there.
In order to avoid confusion with another El Patron Mexican restaurant in the Lehigh Valley, located on North Seventh Street in Allentown, he chose the name Don Carlos. The menu at Don Carlos will change slightly from that at Morales' El Patron restaurants, but it will still include a number of El Patron favorites, according to Morales.
People may anticipate a broad variety of Mexican delicacies made with proteins like chicken, beef, and shrimp, such as burritos, tacos, fajitas, flautas, enchiladas, chimichangas, and nachos. The salsa, guacamole, and desserts like flan, churros, and tres leches cake will all be created from scratch. Every day, lunch and dinner will be provided. In recent weeks, Morales and a group of laborers have begun clearing out the old Rudy's premises in preparation for the start of significant interior remodeling.
More of an open-concept dining space with Mexican-imported furniture and vibrant colors is what Morales has in mind. In addition, he intends to renovate the restrooms, install new kitchenware, and build a new bar with a wide assortment of tequilas and mixed drinks like mojitos and margaritas. Don Carlos Fine Mexican Restaurant wants to be a place for enjoyment, good food/drinks, and an celebration of important events!
