“We randomly found this place while visiting Philly and it was SO good! I got guacamole (it was GOOD and FRESH and NOT brown) I also got a steak tostada and a steak taco - the salsas are sooooo good the red one is spicy but me likely spicy so thumbs up. My friend got a veggie burrito and it was so good for her she threw it down in pure excitement! Also super support their lack of coke products <3.“

“El mejor en comida mexicana“

“Fantastic!! Queso fundido with chorizo served with flour tortillas was amazing. The birria tacos are definitely worth getting again. And the drinks were delicious and delightful. The Sangre de Bruja and the Purgotorio!!!“

“Amazing restaurant! The birria tacos were incredibly flavorful and perfectly seasoned, and the salsa they bring to the table is outstanding, easily the best birria tacos I’ve ever had.

The service was wonderful and very attentive, and the atmosphere is nice and chic without being loud, so you can actually enjoy conversation with your guest. Seating can be a bit tight in some areas, but it’s ideal for parties of 2–4, or you can sit at the long bar for more space.

Also, it’s BYOB, so if you want a great drink with your meal, be sure to bring it with you.“

“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“

“Birriadillas are excelente!♥️“

“If I was on death row and only had one meal, La Cathedral's Al Pastor Torta is the one I would get for my measly life. The bread is so delicious and soft, the flavors are addicting it could add 5 pounds to anyone in a 2 mile radius.

I love food and this is always my first suggestion to anyone who wants to eat good food in Philly.

The service is always so friendly and attentive. I would give up a part of my soul to figure out what's on this sandwitch oh my God.“

“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👍“

“neighborhood gem ✨

⭐️ as a cafe, I’d rank it as
drinks: 4.5/5— they whisk their matcha, very rich and green and well mixed!! not grainy at all

working space: 2/5 since its also a restaurant, I saw one person sitting at a table with a laptop and if it werent busy, I’d probably post up all day. but since it was a busy sunday afternoon, I’d feel pressure to give my spot to someone else.

⭐️ as a restaurant
service: 5/5 the girlies in the front were so sweet! and working hard, they had non stop orders of matcha X lattes (strawberry, cream, horchata)

food: 4/5 pretty good by philly standards but my boyfriend and I were spoiled living on the west coast and the side-of-the-road tacos which nothing here compares to

atmosphere: 4/5 good spacing between tables, we walked in when there was a good amount of seats at 11am on a sunday and at 12, the lunch RUSH came in and it was BUSY!“

“Muy bonito ambiente agradable lo recomiendo 💯“

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

“Excellent food. Good service“

“Great atmosphere and even greater food!!!“

“Todo super, y excelente servicio!“

“One of my favorite places to eat! Well-crafted food with a sense of adventure. Always delicious. Incredible margaritas too. Service is attentive (calling you out, Alex- you are wonderful!). Can’t go wrong.“

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

“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!“

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

“Been going there for a while and I have nothing bad to say about it“

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

“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!“

“Don’t walk…RUN here to get some fairly priced, really good food. The price is fair because these are Tía sized portions!!! I didn’t need any seasonings and it was made to order so everything was still hot and ready after a 15 minute drive. I wish I could have taken a picture but the food is sadly gone! I will be back!!!“

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

“Delicious and beautifully presented, authentic Mexican food! The Carne Asada torta was a portion enough for two, with the most tender, juicy steak, fresh and aromatic toppings sandwiched between toasted telera. The Jamaica fresca had vibrant flavors me and my partner loved. The El Pastor Burrito was full of aromatic spices, incredibly flavorful all at a great portion. Can't recommend this gem enough.“

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

“Amigos is the place to go! If you are looking for authentic Mexican food this is a must stop!!
Also, we had Amigo's cater Harvest Moon Festival this passed Friday at Fox Meadow and everyone raved how delicious the food and presentation was!“

“Pistola’s Del Sur might officially be one of my favorite spots in Passyunk. Easily one of the best happy hours around, and honestly just a great place overall.
I tried all five tacos: tuna, carne asada, roasted chicken, cheesesteak, and buffalo cauliflower, and every single one was amazing.
Still can’t decide which one was my favorite. The chips and salsa were super fresh, with chips so crispy they tasted homemade.
The staff was incredibly friendly, service was quick, and food came out fast. The vibe inside is chill and relaxing, with a couple TVs, plenty of seating, and a great setup whether you’re there to hang out or just grab a bite. They also have an outdoor area, which I’m definitely coming back for once the weather warms up.
Now let’s talk drinks…if you like margaritas, you have to get the Diablo marg pitcher. During happy hour it’s $28, perfectly priced, strong, and great to share.
Overall, I’ll 100% be back multiple times. Highly recommend, not just for happy hour, but for the food, service, and atmosphere too. 🌮🍹🔥“

“We just had our latest family dinner at Tacoria in Cherry Hill, and wow—what an incredible experience! The place was absolutely packed with the usual weekend dinner rush, and we quickly learned why: their Marlton location was unexpectedly closed for the night due to technical issues, so a ton of online orders were being diverted here. Talk about chaos in the kitchen!
Despite all that, the team handled everything with such grace and professionalism. The wonderful lady at the register was completely upfront when we ordered—she clearly explained the situation and let us know there'd be a bit of a delay on the food. No sugarcoating, just honest communication, which we really appreciated. We weren't in any hurry, so we happily took our seats and waited patiently.
After about 30 minutes, the manager noticed our wait, came over personally, apologized sincerely (even though they'd already set expectations), and had the cashier comp us free drinks as a gesture. That kind of proactive care is rare! He truly went above and beyond, and I have to say—he's an absolute asset to Tacoria and deserves all the recognition.
The lady taking orders was a superstar too—patient, kind, and smiling through the entire rush while dealing with a flood of customers. She deserves a raise for keeping her cool and making everyone feel welcome.
When our food finally arrived (fresh, flavorful, and as consistently delicious as always—our family loves their tacos, burritos, and street corn!), the team checked in to make sure everything was perfect and to our liking. In this hyper-competitive fast-casual world, that extra touch of genuine hospitality stands out so much.
Living literally across the street, we have plenty of options, but after this visit, Tacoria has 100% earned our loyalty. It's not just about the great food (which is always spot-on); it's about the real, caring humans who make you feel valued. In a time when service can feel rushed or impersonal, this team showed that being nice and attentive truly goes a long way—it can make or break a restaurant visit.
Huge shoutout to the entire Tacoria Cherry Hill crew—you're doing it right! We'll be back soon and often. Highly recommend—5 stars aren't enough!
Thank you for the amazing evening! 🌮🙌“
