“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.“

“What a wonderful brunch! The staff was impressive! Coffee hit the spot and our brunch was wonderful. A small neighborhood spot that fills the neighborhood name totally. Thoroughly enjoyed our brunch!“

“Cocktails were good, so we're the hors d'oeuvres. Service was friendly. It was a Friday and they do that weird thing where they shut down for a couple hours between lunch and dinner service. That's always annoying, and it cut our time there short. They had customers and chased everyone out. It was clear they wanted us out.“

“We had a few different things off the menu and shared. Everything was amazing. All of the ingredients were fresh, the servers had great recommendations, and the service was prompt. We will definitely be back in the warmer months to enjoy the outdoor seating.“

“amazing food and service every single time!!“

“El mejor en comida mexicana“

“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.“

“Awesome food and staff always fresh delicious ingredients!“

“Excellent food. Good service“

“Definitely an authentic Mexican restaurant, not the sell out Tex/ Mex you find everywhere, Birria tacos are the best I've had so far The Elote was fresh very good, Definitely worth the drive from Wilmington, De Can wait to go back“

“Found this place on TikTok and sooo glad that I did! My family and I took a ride to try their matcha and coffee. We ended up getting matcha, coffee lattes and nachos. I don’t know what was better, the matcha, the coffee or the nachos. We LOVED EVERYTHING, even went back for second lattes. I couldn’t decide on which matcha flavor to try so I got both, so glad I did! The nachos were filled with fresh ingredients, excellent guacamole and delicious chicken. Prices were on point, great atmosphere. We will definitely be back!“

“Todo super, y excelente servicio!“

“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.“

“Great food deals on the happy hour menu but I wish they had some more drink options. I believe it was discounted drafts and marg pitchers which are great but I was by myself before meeting up with friends so I didn’t want to get a whole solo pitcher even though it prob would’ve been worth it lol. Otherwise love it there!“

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

“Elevated Mexican. We did 5 courses- so much food, it was hard for the 3 of us to finish. The lamb neck birria was great, but the Tlayuda might have been the standout dish. The chips and salsas is a nice touch, you get 6 different salsas to try. This is a great place to bring a group of people.“

“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👍“

“Soravi (I think that’s how he spelled it, I was there on 9/10 around 6:45pm) was a great help when it came to helping me figure out what I wanted! I got the sweet and spicy shrimp bowl. I got mango sauce on the side-that was really good too. Overall, ingredients were fresh and tasted 10/10. I will be back :)“

“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!“

“Birriadillas are excelente!♥️“

“I come here at least twice a week it’s so good! Can’t go wrong with your order whether it’s a Katsu platter or fish burrito (my personal favorite) and one of few food trucks you can order ahead!“

“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.“

“Love this place, best suadero tacos around“

“I had the steak burrito at the Piscataway location today and it did not disappoint. Excellent food and the nachos with Nutella are fire. They had so many fresh made salsa and bottled hot sauce to put on my burrito. I think I found my new Mexican spot. Can't wait to try more of the menu. Highly recommend. 10/10“

“Omg this is such a special place! From the moment you walk in, you feel like you’re visiting family. The hospitality is warm, welcoming, and genuine. Me and my bf felt like we were on vacation because of the homey feeling and decor with soothing music and feel good vibes.

You can truly tell how much Angel loves his craft. The food is made with love, and the flavors are absolutely amazing. Every bite feels like it was made with passion. New fav spot for sure“

“The best Mexican food I’ve ever eaten“

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

“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!“

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

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

“This place has the best Mexican food, I’ve been coming here for 2 years and it’s delicious every time. I love to see how they’re getting more popular because they definitely deserve the hype. I had a party of 13 people here and it did not disappoint. 5/5 stars“

“Always delicious and clean! Lots of fresh options!
This is our Sunday go to for lunch! The “Sunday crew” is always friendly and happy, Sara and her team are always smiling and ready to go!
