“Not the best barbacoa I’ve had, but still a good one. Reliable tacos with the usual sauces and toppings. You can pay cash at the counter or use your card at the kiosk. Staff is friendly, but you may need to pay closer attention if you order through the kiosk to make sure your order is being prepared. Happy to support Chef Cristina and her cooking!“

“If you’re in Philadelphia and looking for an authentic, flavorful, and heartfelt food experience, you have to visit La Chingonita in Fishtown. The food is absolutely delicious—a perfect fusion of Puerto Rican and Mexican flavors that creates a unique and unforgettable taste.

But what really makes this place stand out goes beyond the food. The owners treat their employees with so much respect and kindness, something that’s truly rare to see. You can feel the positive energy and the family-like atmosphere, and that reflects directly in the service.

The restaurant is also spotless in terms of cleanliness—everything is well taken care of from the kitchen to the dining area.

I highly recommend that everyone go check it out, enjoy this amazing “MexiRican” culinary experience, and support one of the best food ventures in the city. La Chingonita doesn’t just feed your stomach—it feeds your soul.“

“Fantastic meal! For drinks we had a bat bite & mai tai. Everything we tried for food was AMAZING. Service was friendly and great at giving us details about the menu. The neighborhood is not the best so I suggest to Uber here. The food and drinks outweigh the outside world so don’t be scared - get here and try this place!“

“Didn’t have to decide between church and brunch! I just tried La Catedral for the first time as I’ve been wanting to try this neighborhood spot for awhile. It seems like this place is slept on gem compared to other NoLibs brunch spots. We had the omelette plate and plaintain French toast and it was sooo flavorful and delicious. Will be coming here as my main brunch spot from now on.“

“Very nice place food was nice but I think I misread the menu, I ordered a lomo saltado and I tough that it was gonna be fried rice lol but it was fries, the waitress was very nice and they took out other very quick also the quesito with the. Hips was amazing, my partner ordered a entre I don’t really remember the name and for him he got a plate with different meats and rice and beans.

“Our second visit on 9/18/2025. We were celebrating my birthday and I’m glad I chose to come. The food was delicious and our byob of choice was Tequila. Margaritas were made and did not disappoint us. Noelia our server was amazing. Very kind and friendly as well as accommodating at all times with a smile. She even saw us leaving and made sure to say goodbye and so did the hostess. We were also happy to get to see the Mgr before she got off for the night and she remembered us from our very first visit. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“This is my new favorite spot in old city! Everything is so good… from the burritos (both breakfast and lunch/dinner), matcha (with the horchata!) and tacos!! The customer service is a 10/10 as well. I get something at least once a week since it’s right around the corner. I’ve done takeout and dine in - the quality is the same for each. Well priced too! Highly highly recommend!!“

“The best bartenders around! Amazing food and drinks 💜“

“Delicious! We got the birria burritos & the fried rice with refried beans. Everything was delicious. Great service, food, & atmosphere.“

“I stopped into this spot after Joel, the owner, had posted it out on another platform. The street tacos were deliciously messy. There was such a great portion of meat on each taco I was only able to eat 3 of 4. The ability to customize my taco was wonderful! Ask for extra napkins + limes. I will be returning often here for sure. Plus, they cater! And there are even delivery options. Great local, neighborhood spot! 5 out of 5!“

“First time customer. Found them here on Google because of 4.5 reviews and close to home. Online menu is not correct with offerings and prices. We ordered on the phone and the worker was very pleasant and helpful. We ordered empanadas, a drizzle burrito and a mix burrito. For dessert we ordered chimichanga cheesecake. On arrival the worker was very pleasant. There is a 3% charge to use your card or tap. Food was average. Presentation was good and food looks very appealing. The drizzle burrito was good. Jalapenos made it spicy but it had too much rice in it as filler as opposed to more carne asada. The mix burrito didn't have any wraps or even shells and I didn't think I would have to ask for them and I didn't. The meat was very thinly sliced and grilled. It was good but underwhelming. Our empanadas..I ordered a 5 pack upgraded to 2 chicken/1 carne asada/1 pork/1 ground beef. We received 2 chicken and 3 ground beef. They were pretty. The wrap was nice. They were very greasy. The chimichanga cheesecake was good it was a slice of cheesecake wrapped in a flour tortilla then coated in cinnamon sugar. Overall it was good but could be better. They do have more items on the menu that's not online like birria.“

“We just had dinner at El Nopalito last night and it was great! The food was delicious, the staff is very friendly and the restaurant is so cozy and pretty inside. We got in right before it got very busy, but even with the rush, our food came out quickly and was very good. Highly recommend!“

“quite authentic. always friendly staff and fresh food.“

“Los Chulos Mexican Restaurant is such a fun and lively place the moment you walk in you can smell all those amazing spices and fresh tortillas I ordered the chicken enchiladas and they were incredible cheesy flavorful with that perfect little kick of spice the rice and beans on the side tasted homemade too the staff were super friendly and kept checking if everything was good music was playing people laughing it just had that warm family vibe not too fancy just real and full of flavor I’m definitely coming back maybe to try the margaritas next time“

“One of the best restaurants around! Every time I go they’re always super clean, the staff are always nice and patient, and the food is always top tier. I highly recommend going if you haven’t!“

“Beautiful atmosphere , fun foods with great flavor“

“Great food. Great service. Can’t ask for more“

“I went to Palenque with my family today, 2 young kids and my two in laws who are a bit older. Please note that my Chinese in laws aren’t the most adventurous when it comes to food, but we all loved the food! We ordered a Mole Poblano, Al Pastor, Beef Tongue and Fish tacos, and a Guacamole. Portion sizes were great, all the meats and ingredients were cooked impeccably and authentically. I particularly loved the Mole, the sauce was rich and flavourful, and its consistency was smooth and creamy like the best out there. Will definitely love to come back again some day! Highly recommended.“

“los tacos y la quesabirri“

“Love this place, best suadero tacos around“

“ATMOSPHERE WAS GREAT FOOD AND STRAWBERRY 🍓 TEQUILA“

“Our waitress Yesenia was great! Everything was delicious. The meats were delicious and cooked to the perfect temperature. The shrimp broth was phenomenal. And for dessert, the tres leches cake was the best. I would leave 10/5 stars if I could. Thank you very much, Tamalex!“

“Amazing, delicious. creative food!❤️“

“Damn. I’m always looking for good Mexican food and it’s elusive to say the least. So finding it in the food court at a mall was a surprise. Tasty food friendly staff and honestly priced cheaper than it should be. Wow. I’ll for sure be back often.“

“The food here is always flavorful, fresh, and plentiful. I especially (as someone with a dairy allergy) greatly appreciate the dedicated allergen steps I've seen them take to prepare and label my food. A strong recommendation for the brussels sprouts!“
