“I’ve lived in Philly for the past 10 years, calling myself a local foodie. I’m not one to post on social media, but instead, tell my friends/colleagues the best place to try. For the last year, that “place” is Hilo taco.

Funny story…my boyfriend talked about their opening for months. Being me, I thought we would try their food and he’d stop talking incessantly about them. Little did I know, Hilo would be our “spot”. We’ve been coming here multiple times a week for the past year. Let me tell you why..

The food. Phenomenal and consistent. I’ve tried every taco on the menu. Obviously, I have my preferences (aka Hilo hot cauliflower and BBQ taco), but each taco is unique and flavorful. Their weekly taco special excites me each week: I look forward to the announcement and seeing the new creation each week.

The people. From the first time we went to Hilo, I felt like I was family. I can’t speak enough about how much we love the people who work here. It’s more than a job for them: they make their customers feel welcome, comfortable and at home. Coming from working in a hospital and having many long days, this places brings me joy everytime I walk in.

If you’re in Philly, please check these guys out! You will not be disappointed and will send all your friends here! They have the best tacos, staff and margaritas around town!“

“Food so good I can’t wait to try the rest of the menu. Delicious drinks. Definitely coming back ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Shrimp Tacos crazy good… crab guacamole delish“

“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“

“Awesome food and staff always fresh delicious ingredients!“

“Pretty authetic mexican barbacoa from Capulhuac, mexico state. It gets pretty busy on weekends and they warn if kitchen is getting busy. Barbacoa is pretty good and I was happily surprised to find that sweet tamales are the state of Mexico style: "canarios", made of rice instead or corn with a pretty soft and fluffy texture.“

“My wife and I cherish having this spot so close by!

We originally fell in love with the birria tacos back in the food truck days - honestly haven't had a bad dish. The tortas are tasty and filling - chorizo is my go to right now. And there is just something special about their chips w/ guac.

Check it out - you won't be disappointed.“

“Birriadillas are excelente!♥️“

“The truth is that I thought we were only going to satisfy my hunger, but when I tried the tacos, I was not left speechless, very delicious, everyone in the rooms has to try them, especially the macha one, very delicious, eye only those who like spicy and the green one, delicious and just like the red
Tacos were roast beef and they were very tasty and the friendliness of the girl was excellent ??I would return for more“

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

“There were nine of us who dined there last night and we 100% agreed that the reviews are spot on. I got the Mexican Style grilled shrimp tacos and they absolutely slapped. We got the Latinas Bites for our app and finished off the night with the Dolce Quesadilla and Xangos for dessert, which were both uniquely and indulgently sweet. During dessert, I had pointed out that you'll know how good the food is because nobody's talking and everybody's eating. The first bite was as savory and delicious as the last and you must be prepared to bring food home. If you're familiar with the 7 Elements of Taste, this is definitely the place for you. I'll easily give Latinas a 9/10 and I will definitely be back, since there's so many more things I want to try.

Dietary restrictions: They have both flour and corn tortillas for those who have a gluten sensitivity. Make sure to ask about what's gluten free.

Kid-friendliness: There is a section of the menu dedicated to kids, so they definitely have some options.“

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

“Excellent food and service can’t wait to go back“

“Authentic Mexican cafe with lots of typical American breakfast and brunch options. I got the chilaquiles with red sauce which comes with beans eggs and choice of meat if you want. Super flavorful sauce cooked up on the stovetop and presented simply and beautifully. Horchata was sweet and refreshing to go along with breakfast. Support smaller family-run establishments and come here for breakfast/lunch!“

“Omg these spell of a thing really works like magic. to you Dr Amala for bringing back my husband to me. fb.me/dramala“

“What a nice little surprise to find this place for drinks. I ordered the "Inolvidable" and it was truly unforgettable. The best cocktail I have had in Philly and possibly the country.

I went back to have dinner and the food is outstanding. Not only do they have the best cocktails but the food is really authentic and delicious.“

“Had an excellent experience here! We had a large group for a birthday come here pretty last minute after our initial plans fell through. They were very accommodating and friendly!

They took us within the hour, and we were able to chill at the bar while waiting. We had a cake, and they brought it to the back for us. We also had a severe sesame allergy that they made clear they couldn't safely accommodate and allowed us to order some outside food for that person.

The drinks are tasty and strong - loved my pull up in a lemon cocktail. And the food! I am always skeptical of fusion, but I really enjoyed the wonton chips and salsa, baby corn elotes, and tempura avocado tacos!“

“Great Mexican food! Chips and salsa were extra good! Had the vegan enchilada it was so flavorful! Hubby had the cheese enchilada and someone had the chimichangas they really raved about that! Dined in service was okay.

Vegetarian options: Vegan tacos excellent super flavorful

Kid-friendliness: We had a kid with us they accommodated nicely“

“Get the brisket nachos , delicious ! Drinks we’re good , service was great , will return !“

“Todo super, y excelente servicio!“

“A modest outside conceals a bright and inviting interior. The service is excellent and very friendly. The cook even came out go ask how were.

The food is amazing, even the complimentary homemade chips!! The Horchata was delicious also! The decor is nice and bright and the music was good too.

We will be back regularly!!“

“Okay so this was my first time here; I live 3 minutes down the road and finally had the chance to try this place out w my bff and babyyyyy it was worth the wait!!! The waitstaff are super sweet and attentive. & the food?! THE FOOD?!?? From the birria fries to the birria tacos, I was in birria heaven. Everything was cooked to perfection & you know the food was made with love. Delicious food, beautiful atmosphere. Will definitely be back again, and with more friends!!!“

“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!“

“I really enjoyed my visit to El Purepecha and would definitely make a return visit. The Birria tacos were crispy and had the right amount of filling; the cheese pull was amazing! The consomé had lots of flavor and complimented the tacos very well. The slightly tart and refreshing mango mojito was a perfect compliment to the tacos. The churros were cooked perfectly with a crispy exterior and a slight chew in the center.“

“The nachos with ground beef was delicious, even though the accompanying red salsa tasted too much like spaghetti sauce. In any case, it was a good meal. What brought my experience to 5-stars was the customer service I received from Esteban. Esteban, thank you very much! Amigos Mexican Grill is lucky to have an employee like you!“

“Good food and friendly service. Portion sizes are great for teens who love to eat!“

“Great place to go and wind down“

“Came for brunch. The space itself is cool: you take an elevator to the 11th floor and you're transported to a rooftop restaurant. The roof is retractable so could be a nice option when warmer (it was closed when we went).

We got all the salsas (free chip refills!) which came with a surprising amount of options, so that was nice. The barbacoa tacos were fine, nothing special but standard (the tortilla tore a little easier than I would have expected so a bit hard to eat). The chorizo rojo hash was delicious. A solid amount of chorizo with a delightful sauce. The menu didn't have a ton of things outside of barbacoa tacos that I was interested in so I was surprised to have enjoyed this as much as we did.

The drinks were fine-standard margarita with a tajin rim. The service was a bit slow. We were one of two tables and it took a strange amount of time to get napkin refills, water, and the check.“

“amazing food and service every single time!!“

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

“This place is the best! My husband and I use to drive to the city for Mexican food. The place is ten times better! Every time we get a date night, it’s always here! The people are so friendly. And is such a cozy little atmosphere. Don’t get me started on the deserts, the absolute best! I always get it to go because the portions are so big that you won’t have room for it. I can’t tell you enough that you’ve got to try this place! It’ll be your new go to spot!“

“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!“

“The food and presentation was amazing and the staff couldn't have been nicer. Great restaurant which I will recommend to friends and return to.“

“The food was fantastic! It was one of the top 5 Mexican meals I have had in my life! The mole was amazing, margaritas were awesome, even the guac was superb. Everyone in my party loved their food.“

“This is a great place. I’ve been here multiple times always a hit with friends and family. The Mexican food is delicious. The service is always amazing and so is the ambience. I definitely recommend the nachos, the taco sampler and corn on the cob!

Vegetarian options: I’m not sure the details of the vegetarian options however I have seen that they have vegetarian options on the menu.“

“Incredible food, awesome service, and a great place all around. The staff is very friendly. If you need gluten free food, everything is gluten free, including the churros. Highly recommended for a great meal, and especially great for GF food in the city.

Dietary restrictions: All gluten free“

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

“Pretty atmosphere and good food“

“Absolutely stellar place. It’s vibrant and colorful and the food is perfect. The plantains, chicken tinga tacos, and Cresta guacamole are three knockout dishes but most everything here is going to knock your brain to the back of your skull and have you speaking Spanish by the end of the meal.“

“Awesome food, atmosphere, and beyond awesome friendly hospitality and service!!!!!“

“Sooooooooooooo yummmmmmmmmmmyyyyyyyyy you get Birria from some places that is so flavorless and just looks yummy let me tell you this is not that at all… their Birria is so yummy and flavorful!! Looks and tastes good! Comes with cucumbers and limes and yummy salsas too! You can order online without an upcharge. Pickup was easy. Highly recommend :)“

“The chicken katsu tacos might be the best thing I've ever eaten, anywhere. wow.“

“I love there grilled Samon rice chpolte sauce onthe side avocado the besttttt“

“Muy bueno servicio me encanta“

“Seriously incredible. The chicken tortilla soup is my favorite soup east of the Mississippi. Perfect amount of spice, chicken, crispy torts, and avacado. Have tried majority of different entrees all very good, staff is so welcoming. Never change the soup“

“Me encanta la comida y el servicio es muy bueno“
