“Bought shrimp tacos, chicken tacos, esquites, chicken tacos and guacamole. The only downside is that the chicken tacos were made with dark chicken thigh meat, I wrongly assumed it would be chicken breast (my fault for not asking).Otherwise good decent food!“
“Cute little diner vibes, with fun music playing (like pop rave ish type music). There was only one man working when we went and he was the server and host, as the place wasn't huge. He was quick to seat us, very attentive and super friendly. I ordered the chilaquiles with salsa verde and it was ridiculously tasty, I do wish I had gotten the salsa verde on the side as the tortilla chips quickly became soggy, but still, perfect flavor in my eyes. Will try to stop back there the next time we're in 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.“
“It's an authentic mom & pop Mexican trattoria , which is a must visit. Esp for their Buffalo pizza, of all things.It's the best pizza I've eaten, maybe due to the fact that it was made in a wood fired ovenOur nachos were a bit too drenched in cheese , but it's a personal choice.Soup was good and warmRed snapper was crispy and baked to perfection in the wood fired ovenEnchiladas were made with corn tortillas, but delicious.I'd love to come back.The host/owner is a delight to meet.His love and care in food prep, service and customer dealing is warm and jovial.“
“Shared a birthday lunch with my son and was surprised when a slice of cake was delivered to our table.It was a complete surprise as the owner was never informed it was my son's birthday ?.Will definitely return for the delicious food and wonderful staff/chef!“
“Really great, inventive haute cuisine real Mexican; well executed thoughtfully prepared. Might have slipped a bit since my initial visit, but that could just be me being super impressed first go-around. Quite noisy on the weekends, be prepared to wait for your cocktails.“
“We had the best service with Kate! She gave us tips on what to order and ahead of time was dead on. We started with a cocktail and had a glass of wine with dinner. We split the spicy chicken empanadas, delicious, however, we did not detect the spice. We split the green chili Caesar. Honestly, the best Caesar in town. I do t see how they get it so cold and crisp, it's amazing! We then each had a ceviche. The baby shrimp, which were much bigger than anticipated, such wonderful flavor! My daughter had the crab, the server suggested mixing it right away to get the sauce mixed in. Very good! It did need more liquid. We simply poured the extra shrimp sauce in the crab, it was superb after that. The tomato on the shrimp just gives it more moisture and such a good flavor! We can't wait to go back!“
“Went for a little birthday brunch last weekend, and will absolutely be back. The cocktails were fun, unique, and super tasty. The food was pretty awesome, loved the crab tostada and the potato side was sooo tasty. I got the birria benedict, which was on blue corn sopes. I will say the sope could use some work, it's one of my favorite Mexican dishes and this one was a bit flat/gritty compared to some I've had, but still absolutely loved the place and will be back!“
“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!“
“Indulging in the culinary delights of this establishment was a remarkable experience, with each dish not only delivering unparalleled flavors but also showcasing exquisite and artful plating. The restaurant’s ambiance is a testament to tasteful decoration, creating a captivating environment that enhances the overall dining experience.Moreover, the service provided surpassed expectations, contributing significantly to the overall satisfaction. The staff’s attentiveness and professionalism added an extra layer of enjoyment to the meal, making it a truly memorable culinary journey. From the moment I stepped in, the delightful fusion of remarkable food presentation and impeccable service made this dining experience stand out, leaving me eager to revisit and savor more of the culinary delights this establishment has to offer.“
“Yup! This place is great. There isn't a lot of seating but the hospitality is great here. We ordered an al pastor taco, shrimp taco, and Campechana quesadilla. Service was quick and it was nice how fresh the al pastor was. The shrimp taco was spicy which was very nice. The al pastor was very juicy. Hands down the Campechana quesadilla was my favorite thing in the menu. It was basically al pastor with cactus. I really liked the juiciness of the cactus. It was all so good that we forgot to put on our sauces. The place offers a ton of beverage options. From beer to flavored glass soda bottles to coffee. I opted for a coffee and it was amazing! They have a cafe style machine that works very well. We also got a guava soda just like you can pick up at a Mexican convenient store. The place also has to good amount of dessert which we both opt out of. There are donuts, pastries, etc. At the end of the meal we returned our trays to the front.“
“This is some of the best food around in Philly. The waiter here made some suggestions to what we should get and it did not disappoint at all. Would definitely come back here to try something else from the menu and I'm sure it will be just as good.“
“This place has some amazing authentic Mexican vibes soon as you walk in. The food was really good and very inexpensive. Definitely recommend the burritos. The staff was friendly and very attentive, the place was very clean and the ambience was very cozy!“
“Cool vibe, friendly service, I love the logo! We arrived as happy hour was changing over and quickly ordered. We found that our happy hour tacos we considerably less enjoyable than the ones we ordered after happy hour concluded. Fun spot, certainly would go before a show at Union Transfer.“
“This is the best burrito place in NoLibs. The staff is really nice. I usually opt for no chipotle mayo but highly recommend the following!!Chicken torta Milanese (this is one of my favorite sandwiches in the city generally)Chicken burritoGreen chilaquiles“
“I've been meaning to try this place for so long and saw that they were recently put on GrubHub so tried them for lunch today. I got the San Jose beef barbacoa burrito. It was excellent. Grilled really nicely on the outside and everything inside was super flavorful. Will definitely be trying some of their Cuban sandwiches next!“
“I'm a native Texan and I am in HEAVEN. I just moved in down the street and this place is AMAZING. El Caracol serves up authentic dishes that are incredible and oh man I'm gonna eat so much. My husband ordered the camerones a la diabla (deviled shrimp) and they are gloriously garlicy. Add the orange sauce for extra spicy. I ordered the burrito mojado (wet burrito) with carnitas (it's the most delicious braised pork) and I could not stop eating it. The green salsa on the burrito is the perfect medium spicy. I cannot say enough good things. I am so thankful El Caracol is near me. It's small but this place is a must try. If you don't like it we can't be friends.“
“The food was excellent! I ate the nachos and veggies burrito. We ate at the upstairs bar and the bartender was great with recommendations for drinks and add-ons for food. It was funny to me that the decor is more old fashioned diner than Mexican restaurant, but it worked.“
“My fiancé and I came here to eat and I must say that the aesthetics here are so cute! The staff are friendly and their food is delicious! For apps: I recommend trying the steamed pork gyoza and Italian egg roll. For tacos: I recommend the tofu taco. It’s very crispy and moist. The ramen is good as well. For drinks I recommend the jasmine lemon green tea. We definitely would come back! :)“
“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.“
“Food was great!! We tried the ceviche, guacamole, quesabirria, enchiladas con mole and chalupitas. It was all great food! We were able to spend time with the chef and he's such a sweet funny person. It just added to our experience. The service was smooth quick and polite! Parking can be tough and it may get busy bc the food is great but it's definitely worth trying this place out!“
“The BEST aguachile in Philly hands down!!! (I always get the same thing, aguachile Verde mix to with extra seafood) Actually, they have the best of everything I've tried there so far. That includes the Birria Consomme, the guacamole, the ceviche, the albondigas, and the crab tostados. I'll add pics the next time I go. I HIGHLY recommend this place, you won't be disappointed! Plus the staff is super friendly.“
“I must have passed by this foodtruck 100x without trying but decided to give it a shot today on lunch break. I love burritos, tacos, churros and all more than most. This was the best steak burrito I've had in recent memory! I won't be passing by again without grabbing something. Birria tacos on my to do list! Highly recommend!“
“Mole Poblano is a local gem. Second to none in every category from service and food to tacos and tamales. The enchiladas de mole was spicy, sweet and filling. Would also recommend the breakfast sandwiches which are a healthy size. Come hungry and leave happy!“
“Lived in Philly for 15 years tried most of the Mexican restaurants here. Today was my first time dining, and I can honestly say this is one of the best Mexican places in the city. Flavorful dishes and warm friendly service! Can’t wait to come back again! Thank you for the delicious meal ?“
“I love this restaurant! We had a birthday party here for 25 people, and Karina and Angel are so kind and they did an incredible job. They made great mixers for our tequila, and the food was absolutely delicious and so plentiful! They were responsive and easy to work with while planning, and we felt so welcomed in the restaurant. They even set up balloons and a "happy birthday" banner. Highly recommend Los Cuatros Soles for dinner or for a party.“
“We went for happy hour and sat at the bar. The nachos are out of this world! Try the spicy margarita, it was delicious. We got a pitcher of regular margaritas and they were only ok, but staff was nice, the food was good and the atmosphere was great.“
“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??!!!“
“If I could give ten stars, I would. This is some of the best food in town. You really can’t do much better. The menu is innovative and fuses deliciousness from different cultures. It is always fresh. It’s also consistent. The chefs there (yea they are chefs, not cooks) also help reduce food waste by making their own soup stocks. Have you tried the birria Raman? That consommé is liquid gold. It’s heady and dense. The soup alone is a meal.May I also add that the people who work there are solid individuals that genuinely love to cook and create.Please eat here.Kid-friendliness: All people welcomed here. All ages too!“
“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!“
“came in on a friday afternoon for an early dinner. no wait, BYOB, reasonable prices, and truly unlimited chips/salsa (the chips are freshly fried tho!) that I could honestly get full off of with a good drink imo not as good as some of the mexican food on the other side of the river, but if you're in ucity and crave a solid burrito, this is a cute spot! ended up as $21/pp after tax and tip and we had some leftovers too!“
“Becky at the bar was great, upbeat and attentive. She knew the menu well enough to make great recommendations.Food was great, drinks (La Flor) were tasty and stong! Ambiance and mysic were on point for happy hr! Totally recommend for a chill bite, solo or with friends!Im coming back for the Elote Dip!“
“The place is really good. Food is good and the atmosphere is very pleasant. We went in around 6 and they had an hour of waiting. We went there and the workers were very sweet and polite. They were also very quick with their service. My friend spilled her water and they cleaned it all up within 2 mins. It was crazy and very impressive! I will recommend this place, especially for their service.“
“Delish food - n of 3 times been so far and every time has been on point. Prices are definitely respectable (except $4 for extra pico) and the servers have always treated us nicely. Definitely recommend for Cantina food in the middle of Philly.“
“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.“
“Food here was absolutely amazing and I cannot wait to return! We had the salsa trio, salmon ceviche, CDMX tacos, and the Costilla tacos. Everything was amazing, and we left full. The chips were crispy and all of the salsas were great. I loved the pork belly on my CDMX tacos, and I would definitely recommend. Everything was fresh and flavorful. Service was fast, and I would come back to try some of their drinks. I would definitely recommend!“
“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!“
“The food was great. I can't say anything more than that 5 stars all around. Question: Is this place still active? The website is not working, and neither is any of the phone numbers, but the Google listing said it's open. As of March 2024“
“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.“
“The best guac I’ve ever had, hands down! The homemade chips paired excellently with it too. I shared the mini sopesitos and they were great, not too heavy either. The birria tacos hit the spot! Tres leches was so light and fluffy, the perfect ending to a delicious meal. The restaurant is very small but gives a homey, “one of the family” feel. BYOB. Service was prompt and friendly. I can’t wait to come back!Also, the leftover tacos were even great the next day heated up in the air fryer“
“Absolutely fabulous dining experience. Decorated in a wonder of chic & Mariachi, El Vez delivers on all points: Friendly, knowledgeable staff, bar-made mixed drinks, fresh guacamole, salads, and entrees. (Except the flour tortillas & croutons) the rest of the menu is gluten free. Plant-based options are proudly available.“
“A gem that always delivers in south philly! Super amazing tacos and tortas and from that I’d try much more of their menu in the future. They set the standard so I imagine the rest of the food is just as superb. Service here is always really good, servers are very energetic and kind and able to speak two languages, so utmost respect. Their agua frescos are huge and very tasty. I want to try their dessert but their portions are just so generous and perfect to keep me full for hours. 10/10 everytime would bring everyone I know here.“
“Food and portions were great. We ordered the birria tacos and the chicken quesadilla. Truthfully, we both loved the quesadilla so much that we almost ordered a 2nd one. Service was out standing, very friendly and attentive, the place was very clean and welcoming, we are definitely returning.“
“We finally made it to Burrito Mix for a little lunch date. It was unbelievable! Brian got the Carne Asada lunch special and I got the steak tacos on flour tortillas. They were so good, but I had to give one taco to Brian. They were stuffed with deliciousness! The server was sweet and the food came out fast! They have music playing, fun atmosphere.We will definitely be back…A LOT!Love to see local businesses making it in these crazy times. Support them!“
“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.“
“Best nachos ever! Every chip is the "best nacho chip" with cheese, salsa, jalapeños, and beans. We always get the street corn and gorditas. Their wings are very good as well. Staff is extremely kind and attentive. Its a neighborhood byob spot and its fantastic.“
“Went here for National Margarita Day and A TIME WAS HAD. The bartender Zoey was incredible! She made great drinks, provided great service, and had great energy. Zoey is a legend for putting me on to Azul Gold.The place has great happy hour vibes and ambiance.Honestly, the food was okay. Had fish and chicken tacos and lamb. Go with the chicken tacos if choosing one or the other. The lamb was pretty good. Cooked properly but needed a little more flavor for my taste.I would definitely go back and recommend you to go.“
“Authentic Mexican cuisine at its finest! The corn tortillas are made fresh daily, and each dish is made-to-order. The owner is as hospitable as can be, and demonstrates a well-deserved pride for the food. This place has become one of our favorite restaurants in Philly. A hidden gem.“
“A spacious restaurant without many people at the time of our visit, perhaps because finding parking is very problematic, I found a place 5 blocks from the Restaurant so you will have to be very patient and walk a little.It has a small mix of Mexican/Chinese food although the Asian dishes are select and it is not as if you were ordering from a Chinese restaurant.“
“Hola,Service was Very speedy and professional. I got the cheesy Gordita cravings box and also tried a piece of their Mexican pizza. Everything and I mean even the food was on point! Only thing I didn’t like was the raise in the prices on everything! I know the actual location has nothing to do with that, so overall I give the experience itself 5 stars!!“
