“I consider myself a foodie and rarely ever write reviews. However, one of the greatest experiences in a long time was take out at Dando‘s. The food was hot, packaged with extraordinary, expertise and ready on time. The service was beyond friendly and really made me feel welcome. Most importantly, it was the amazing Mexican food that I can only compare to my last visit to Mexico. Authentic, perfectly prepared and absolutely delicious. The Carnitas and burrito were outstanding. The street corn and guacamole was some of the best I’ve ever eaten. Completely knocked my socks off. I will absolutely make this a regular stop at a minimum once or twice a week. Absolutely amazing!“
“I ordered for pickup through the website right as they opened (11am), and everything was ready and neatly packed within the time estimation on the site. Pretty impressive! We got there a few minutes early and there are comfy couches to sit on, and the tv was playing a cooking show! The M&M Cookie was big, thick, and delicious - definitely a shareable size! My 12 yr old son loved the Original Jersey Fried Chicken Sandwich, which he gobbled up before I could get a photo to share!“
“Having grown up with Texas breakfast tacos I was excited to see a spot in Philly to create what I was missing from home. Bfast taco was good, flavor was def there. A bit on the pricier end for a breakfast taco, even with a homemade tortilla. Was hoping all salsas were given out as well, tried the guaijlo , had good flavor. Not sure if I’ll be a reg just because they’re pricey. But I do appreciate what they are bringing to Philly.“
“Food is great very creative I’d recommend the shrimp taco, new favorite place drinks are good too not watered down like other places. Service here is awesome. Leah is great our second visit she remembered my name she treats her regulars like we visit everyday. At one point I thought she was the owner bc she does such a great job running the place. This is now my favorite place to go.“
“Our first visit to La Ingrata and we had a wonderful experience. Co-owner Karla talked us through the menu and provided great service and conversation throughout the meal. I opted for a special of the day - pork pieces with skin still attached cooked in an amazing salsa verde, served with warm house-made tortillas, rice, and beans. So delicious eaten taco-style with a just-right hot sauce. My wife had a shrimp dish in mildly spicy tomato sauce and side salad, also delicious. We started with the house-made guacamole which was outstanding, along with fresh in-house tortilla chips. BYOB meant we enjoyed the meal with our own beers. Outstanding food, friendly service, a chance to taste some new dishes and a Mexico City-style of cooking, and affordable prices - we'll definitely be back!“
“Unassumingly small, open late, and cash only. Incredibly good food. Haven't found anything on the menu that wasn't a 10/10. Highly recommend checking this place out if you're in the area.Parking: Can be difficult to find parking nearby, but that is not uncommon for the area.“
“I’ve eaten here twice, now. I thought there was no way that what I ordered tonight (quesadillas w/rib eye) could match the Bufalo pizza from two days ago. I was as wrong as I could be. I’m guessing that I will eat here 80 to 100 times this year. It’s THAT good.“
“Had a chorizo torta without jalapeños. On point, definitely delicious. Was visiting Philly from GA and I gotta say the Mexican food in Philly is so much better. The flavor of my food was unique and super delish. From the chips to the fries to the actual entree. Would come back here again if I’m ever back in Philly. Price was good too for the quality of the food.“
“Everything here was 5 stars across the board — the food, the service, the atmosphere.As for the food, we ordered the birria tacos & ramen, along with a few of the HH street tacos. The flavor was amazing, I haven’t had birria so rich across the East Coast! The horchata was also amazing. The vibes were great inside, and Juana was so kind. It was a wonderful experience and can’t wait to go back!“
“Love this place and go in/order here often since its local. I really like the birra dumplings and seafood eggroll. However, I recently tried their wings ordering out and was HIGHLY disappointed?. I paid $12 for soggy old meat with no flavor, yet I ordered the chipotle wings . I made my two friends try the wings bc i refused to even eat them. She said it burnt her lip and the smell made her nauseous. They were literally FUNKY. Will still continue to eat here because for the most part their food is good. However after this experience I won’t risk ordering their wings??!!!“
“I'm visiting NJ from El Paso, Texas and there is nowhere to find Puebla food :(. I ordered a cemita de milanesa de res and it was delicious ???? just as I remembered them on my visits to Puebla, the portion is huge ?, It only takes 2 servings, also pot coffee, that one lacked flavor. The place was clean, and the service was excellent from the young man who served us, very attentive, polite and helpful, I will definitely go again.“
“Just moved to Philly and got take our here on our first day (we were craving good mexican after our sad 1.5 year of living in Portland) and we were NOT disappointed. It was soooooo goood. Torta Milanese, Salmon Ceviche, Tacos Arabes... all top notch. Can't wait to have it again!“

“My wife and I tried this place for the first time on 02/09. They actually had live entertainment! A guy singing his heart out in Spanish. It really added to the atmosphere. The food is phenomenal! Very authentic. The portions are huge, and the prices are reasonable. We will definitely be back.“
“Very lively but well managed bar. Went for a Friday night show- bands were SLAMMING and the door price was very reasonable. The separated music area sounds great, but also blocks sounds well so you can have a conversation at the bar. Drinks were priced just right too, and there were food options before 10. Bar tenders were very professional and fast! After the music ends they do some music and dj events at the bar so you can keep the party going all night if you want. 5/5 stars I absolutely will be back.“
“Got some takeout and it was slammin'. This immediate area was heavily due for some really good Mexican/Hispanic food. Looking forward to dining in.Year update: It's still the best in the area and I'm always excited to eat here!“
“Randomly stumbled upon this restaurant and decided to order lunch to go. Didn't really expect much since I've never heard of the place before. But I got the Al pastor taco and was shocked at how delicious it was! An order of 3 tacos was $12 and the tacos were pretty big and filling. My partner got the tongue taco and menudo soup which he said was the best he's ever tried. Highly recommend if you're ever in the area!“
“Lets first start off with customer service "Amazing" Food "out of this world " those spicy garlic chili smoke wings will have you fighting someone 10/10. The Hibachi steak fried rice ?I'm speechless...this was my first time eating from here and i wanna hug everyone in there, I love this place already #letsSupporthemUptown. Keep up the great work congratulations on the continued success...I'll see y'all again!!!“
“This place is so good there isn’t something I haven’t tried yet that I don’t like. I don’t like fast food taco places but this place has so much flavor and your wouldn’t think it’s more on the fast food side of things.Wheelchair accessibility: Right on the corner, no stairs to get inside so easily accessible.“
“Wow! Can I tell you something? This place has amazing food! Fresh everything (tortillas, salsa, etc) and extremely well made. Really it’s some of the best I’ve had in Philly. And I loved the atmosphere and extremely kind customer service. Come here if you know good, real food.“
“I remember this corner when it was an extremely great Vietnamese restaurant... Thank goodness that it was replaced with an equally great taco business. El Metate's tacos are stuffed with well seasoned, slow cooked meats of your choice. They also make a variety of other meals from tortas, tostadas, nachos, and a few others. Fruit waters, fresh juice, and sodas are available. Pre Covid, there used to be seating inside. Now it's strictly takeout. The late hours takes the guess work out of where to go at 11pm when most places are closing or already closed. You can't miss this location. It's the corner with a mural of Al Pastor meat being sliced to serve!“
“Treat yourself to this place, it's a mixed crowd with young and old alike. The best thing about this place is the food and the Margerita towers. The service can be slow at times but well worth the wait. I can't stress enough how good the sautéed spinach is, and I never even liked spinach. The salmon egg rolls are to die for and just wow. Go here and enjoy, the food the food the food. And did I say the food ????“
“Not listed on the site or menu yet, but they have the BENNIGANS MONTE CRISTOServed with powdered sugar and raspberry jam. This brought back such memories.They also had Nathan's hot dogs and friesMy wife enjoyed her Mac and cheese.So it appears to maybe be 12 restaurants now?The young lady working the counter was also very pleasantI will be back“
