50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Magnolia

“First time visiting. It wasn't exactly a great experience. The waitress was very nice and very patient. However the food we ordered wasn't that great. The chicken tenders I ordered, was very salty and burned. The mashed potatoes was runny. But I would still give it 4 out of 5 stars.“

“Foodie Alert: Go!!

Excellent!! Fresh, deeply flavored sauces. Vibrant flavors, and an outstanding sourdough tortilla. Don't forget, it's BYOB, and they have really good juices and mixes ready for your tequila or favorite spirit. A true gem in the competitive South Philly Mexican Cuisine scene.“

“Went here from dinner tonight and this place blew me away! From the second we entered and were met by the host, to the kind server quickly filling our glasses with water while we waited for our table, this place knows how to make you feel special. Our drinks and food were spectacular with the standout dishes being the Tacos de Pescadillas, and the Pollo Encacahuatado but everything was amazing. Dan was the best host, sharing every detail of each dish and drink and making great suggestions. One of the best meals we have had in a long time. Can't wait to come back and try more drinks and dishes!“

“amazing food and service every single time!!“

“Cute place.
Hubby and I stopped in to grab breakfast, before heading back home.
Hubby got the Cream Brulee French Toast. This was delicious!!!
I got the plantain French Toast. Topped with Nutella and Condensed Milk. There was hardly any Condensed Milk. The Plantains were not very sweet. But it was still delicious.
We both just had coffees. The food takes a long time. But it is mot fast food. So don't expect a rushed plate.“

“Todo super, y excelente servicio!“

“This is a special gem in the city of Philadelphia. I can not express how hoog my burrito was; the soft rice, creamy avocado, tasty meat, wrapped in a good tortilla. The green salse complimented it perfectly and had my taste buds singing.

I also ordered the horchata and a matcha. The drinks are just as good as their food. The matcha had that ice earthy quality without being grassy. They honestly do it better than some shops dedicated to matcha.

This horchatta was also the best over ever had.

I can't believe I had not come soon!“

“The food was fabulous!! Atmosphere was spot on! Love, love, loved it!!“

“I find it an awesome place to sit outside with great drinks and a great happy hour especially the nachos just wish they added chorizo on the nacho’s for happy hour. Nice to relax here last night was the Phillies game and it was great👍“

“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!“

“Ama would be a viral must go to in Mexico City. The fact it’s here in Philly is a gift. Ama never disappoints. The food is highly elevated Mexican cuisine. It’s like being in a Mexican family home and served the best of the best. My favorite is the Tuna Tostada. The swordfish tacos are elite. I highly recommend the Lamb Neck Birria. It’s so freaking good. The staff is super friendly and attentive. The owner and his wife are there most nights and run a beautiful, inviting restaurant.“

“Birriadillas are excelente!♥️“

“This was my first time here and it was a great experience. The service was very good and helpful. They served our food in a timely manner. Everything was very good. I will be returning again and will share my experience with my family and friends.“

“Food is excellent , ingredients & flavor superb. The Owner is truly a sweetheart .. great vibes…curbside service also…“

“Taco el pastor chicken was chunk style. Was
fabulous. It’s an authentic soft taco shell. Street corn was ok. Not much flavor to the kernels but sauce and cheese were great. Guacamole and home made chips were great. Spice level was good for a gringo. Plenty of hot sauces at the self serve bar. Order at counter. No waiters. Definitely coming back“

“Excellent food. Good service“

“No pictures because the food hit the table at home and we immediately forgot all about our phones 😂 On a whim I was craving fish tacos, searched Google, found La Ingrata and headed over. Let me tell you… absolutely worth it. The food was a solid 10/10. The taco pizza was unreal and the fish tacos were honestly to die for. Fresh, flavorful, and one of those meals you keep thinking about after you leave. We ordered takeout, and while we waited for our food, we sat down and ended up chatting with the family. The owners’ 4-year-old daughter came and sat next to us, and if you know me, you know I’m all about the kiddos. Holding her little pile of tip coins and her pack of stickers, we somehow got into conversations about trains, numbers, birthdays… and found out ours are one day apart. Clearly we vibed because Virgos do things like that 😂 The owners came over and talked with us about business, and as food truck owners ourselves, my boyfriend and I instantly connected with them. Beyond the amazing food was just a hardworking family trying to make it, just like the rest of us. Seeing the next generation sitting right there alongside their parents, learning and growing in the middle of it all, was really the icing on the cake for me. Support family businesses. Support people chasing dreams. And definitely go get those fish tacos.“

“Pretty atmosphere and good food“

“Delicious food. Wonderful service. Will definitely be back!“

“Muy bonito ambiente agradable lo recomiendo 💯“

“Service was excellent! This was my first time here, and the staff made the entire experience enjoyable. They took the time to make sure I chose something I would like and explained everything I was getting, which I really appreciated. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. I’ll definitely be back the next time I’m in town!“

“Samantha was a great waitress. The marg flight was amazing, the tacos, tortilla soup & tres leches cake was to die for. 10/10! Always delicious food!“

“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!“

“excelente servicio no se diga la comida recomendada al 100%“

“I’ve been here three times so far and each experience has been a delight. BYOB too! I’ll be back!“

“Come here multiple times and have had a great time as usual! 🌮✨ Food is very good. 😋 The staff is always friendly and understanding. 🤗 This is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants! 🌶 Unlike the other place I went to last week, which was a mess and all over the place, this place can do no wrong. 🙌🏽🔥“

“My 1st time here Estavan greeted me with a smile and was very patient with me as I looked over the menu. Everything looked very fresh and he confirmed that the salsa, guacamole, pico de gallo ,and even the cilantro and onion mixture is made fresh daily .

He let me sample the birra chicken and from the 1st bite it was so delicious 😋!

I ordered a taco bowl 🥣 and you have to say this is BETTER THAN CHIPOTLE! NO SCIMPKING ON THE TOPPINGS.

TAKE A LOOK AT MY VIDEO , IT WAS PILED HIGH AND FILLED WITH FLAVOR!
You gotta try this !- all 5 stars but it's a 10/10 in my book !
Definitely coming back !“

“The customer service at this place was exceptional. The food was tasty, the environment was friendly and family oriented, and I really enjoyed the food. It was seasoned to maximum taste. I ate half of the menu, and when the bill came at the end, it was very affordable. I almost couldn’t believe it. I will highly recommend this place to anybody asking them selves. You will love it.“

Loved the beef barbacoa toco. This restaurant is 100% gluten free so no chance of cross contamination. Staff is very friendly in this light and airy establishment.“
