Alta Vida

Alta Vida, nestled on the Camelback Resort grounds in Tannersville, PA, offers a lively Mexican dining experience that blends the resort’s mountain‑side vibe with authentic flavors from Mexico’s coastal towns. Guests are greeted by colorful murals depicting the Sierra Madre and the scent of fresh cilantro as they step onto the open‑air patio overlooking the resort’s ski slopes. The menu, crafted by Chef Luis Martinez, features house‑made corn tortillas for tacos al pastor, sizzling fajitas with grilled peppers, and a signature guacamole prepared tableside with ripe Hass avocados, lime juice, and a hint of jalapeño. For a hearty main, the mole poblano chicken is slow‑braised in a chocolate‑chili sauce, while the vegetarian enchilada verde showcases roasted zucchini and poblano peppers. Margarita lovers can choose from classic lime, mango‑passionfruit, or a smoky mezcal version, each served in a salt‑rimmed glass. The interior combines reclaimed wood tables with vibrant Talavera tile backsplashes, creating a warm, festive atmosphere that feels both upscale and family‑friendly. Although the restaurant is temporarily closed for seasonal renovations, reservations can be made for upcoming reopening dates via OpenTable. Price range sits between $12 and $30 per entrée, making it an affordable yet memorable option for resort guests and local families alike. Evening service includes live acoustic guitar, and the bar offers a curated selection of Mexican craft beers and premium tequilas. Alta Vida welcomes both locals and tourists seeking a taste of Mexico in the heart of the Pocono Mountains.
