“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! 🌮🙌“

“My experience at Avocados Food was amazing. Theresa's energy and vibe was great and welcoming. She explained the menu to me and offered great options. My food was delicious definitely recommend the guac corn cup with chips made by Theresa.“

“The food was delicious and clean service“

“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!“

“Fast, easy, and tasty. Good price to portion too“

“@halal_mexican is a hidden gem in Philadelphia that has some of the best HALAL Mexican cuisine that I’ve ever tasted. I love that I was able to find a Mexican halal spot. Pictured: -Flautas -Shrimp Chimichanga -Mini Corn on the Cob -Chicken Tacos -Steak Burrito Bowl My favorite item from there has to be the flautas. It’s a deep fried rolled chicken tacos served with pico de gallo and sour cream. Highly recommend this restaurant to all those seeking a tasty mexican restaurant with good service and halal food! Thank you @halal_mexican for being so hospitable and accommodating. I’ll be coming back here next visit“

“The tacos are delicious, authentic, and fresh! The beef Birria tacos and the tacos Al Pastor are delicious! Me and my boyfriend ate them SO FAST! We will be back again!“

“Wow wow wow, I love it here. It’s so much more than just a supermarket. In the back, there’s a restaurant and let me tell you, the food is delicious. I’ve had the birria tacos, sopes de pollo, nachos con frijoles negros y crema, plus the guacamole and chips, and everything has been amazing. I also love their agua de Jamaica.

My partner has tried the regular tacos, guacamole and chips, churros, and sodas, and he’s loved everything he’s had. I’ve also tried their hot chocolate, which was so warm and tasty. I go there a couple of times every month because it’s just that good.

They also sell bracelets and accessories, which is such a cute touch. Honestly, they have it all. You really just have to go inside and see for yourself.

The people who work there are so sweet and welcoming. I’m from Colombia, and every time I go, it feels like home. I feel relaxed and comfortable, and I love that they have two huge TVs playing movies, sports, or novelas.“

“great food and great staff!!“

“This is our second time having the seafood soup, and it’s just as amazing as the first. The broth is rich and full of flavor, with fresh shrimp, squid, and crab cooked perfectly. It’s the kind of dish you can’t stop talking about—my husband even called it “Michelin-worthy.” I really hope they never change the recipe (or the price) because it’s honestly perfect.“

“Juanita's has the best Mexican food in the area. All of their tacos and tostadas are excellent. the shrimp dishes are all great also, especially the camarones con crema. You can't go wrong here.“

“At LaNova the family cooks from the heart. Everything is made fresh from scratch. We've been Mexican food aficionados for years and LaNova is our all time favorite in SNJ. We dine at LaNova at least 2-3x/month.😊“

“Very fresh. Very clean. Their verde and pico is amazing!“

“Food is delicious but please inform staff when you are sending out coupons. Two weeks ago I tried ordering & asked about the coupon (15% off) I received via email & staff knew nothing. The person who answered the phone took my phone number, said they would try to find out & call me back. After 15 minutes I called & placed my order hoping by the time I picked up said order that I would have received a call back. Staff still didn’t know anything when I picked up my order.“

“Excellent food!! You can tell they take pride in their business and care about customers.“

“This restaurant is amazing! Impeccable service and professional. Anything on the menu is worth trying! This is my go to spot for celebration cakes and they are always beautiful and delicious!“

“I just happened to google taco spots near me. This place is .3 miles away. I walked in really nervous, not knowing how to order or what to order. I ordered the basics. 2 chicken tacos and 1 beef taco. It was quick and they were so GOOD! I went for myself, but ended up sharing with my husband because I was so full! I’ll definitely go back! Probably tomorrow!“

“delicious food tonight. thank you“

“This establishment has quickly become one of our favorite “go-to” spots! We’re working our way through the menu one visit at a time and after several meals we haven’t found anything yet that hasn’t been spectacularly fresh and incredibly delicious! Last night we shared 2 appetizers and a chicken stew with homemade tortillas and came home with leftovers!“

“The sampler was so cute, I'll post my food when it comes. I've been past this place on several occasions and they Family that ow s the place are the friendliest and most kind people you will ever meet. The food is always full of flavor and made to order every time I come. I love this place if I could give them 10 stars I would l. I ordered Ropa Vieja Today will post soon!!“

“Phenomenal food. I'd say much better than other certain food establishments in the area who have the same general principal of service. Good service very flexible when ordering. Not really a place to sit in and eat kind of empty feel. But amazing food none the less.“

“I would Like to Recommend Luna Y Sol. Friendly staff ,great food ,good prices ,nice cozy atmosphere, delicious Horchata‘s😋. I will definitely be going back!“

“Banging son. Enjoy the food son.“

“Yesterday was my first time here, I celebrated my 56th Birthday with my daughter, sister & nieces. The dinner was amazing. We started with appetizers, guacamole and chips and steak nachos. I had the chicken fajitas, they came to the table still sizzling and were seasoned to perfection! We brought in a cake and they had a special candle and sang. This was an added surprise! Thank you for a great night out.“

“This is one of a couple of Mexican Restaurants in NE Philadelphia that serve homemade, made to order dishes. Festive decor, friendly staff and fair prices. It's always busy. Free parking in the strip mall across from Neshaminy Mall on the Boscovs side.“

“I got the traditional cubano sandwich today and it was absolutely amazing. The bread it was on was wonderful and the meat was so tender! I highly recommend it!“

“Delicious, fresh and homemade food with friendly service !“

“I absolutely love their food! You honestly get the best of both worlds from pizza to Mexican dishes and freshly made salsa verde. I’ve never had any issues with their quality of food and the people here are very nice. Love the family owned atmosphere.“

“The food here is absolutely delicious — I truly enjoy it every single time. Everything is always flavorful and well-prepared, and you can really taste the quality.
Although the prices are on the higher side, it’s definitely worth it for the taste and overall experience. Whenever my boyfriend and I have a date night, this is my go-to spot for takeout. It never disappoints and always makes our night feel special.
Highly recommend if you’re looking for amazing food that’s worth the splurge!“

“Very impressed with the quality of food, I mean it's real good. For me, it's a step up from Chipotle that I won't go near personally. I gave service 4 stars because the woman that is usually at the register is less than friendly.“

“My husband started going here about 3 yrs ago and the food has always been great ! Always hot, fresh and delicious. It's worth the trip.“
