50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Riverton

“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.“

“Not the best barbacoa I’ve had, but still a good one. Reliable tacos with the usual sauces and toppings. You can pay cash at the counter or use your card at the kiosk. Staff is friendly, but you may need to pay closer attention if you order through the kiosk to make sure your order is being prepared. Happy to support Chef Cristina and her cooking!“

Very cozy inviting atmosphere. Can't wait to go back!!“

“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“

“If you’re in Philadelphia and looking for an authentic, flavorful, and heartfelt food experience, you have to visit La Chingonita in Fishtown. The food is absolutely delicious—a perfect fusion of Puerto Rican and Mexican flavors that creates a unique and unforgettable taste.

But what really makes this place stand out goes beyond the food. The owners treat their employees with so much respect and kindness, something that’s truly rare to see. You can feel the positive energy and the family-like atmosphere, and that reflects directly in the service.

The restaurant is also spotless in terms of cleanliness—everything is well taken care of from the kitchen to the dining area.

I highly recommend that everyone go check it out, enjoy this amazing “MexiRican” culinary experience, and support one of the best food ventures in the city. La Chingonita doesn’t just feed your stomach—it feeds your soul.“

“Simply outstanding. Superior service. Beautiful atmosphere. Kind and friendly service staff. This is my new favorite restaurant. Highly highly highly recommend for couples, families and groups…all can be accommodated and you will leave satisfied and happy. Seriously I might be in love with this place.“

“Fantastic meal! For drinks we had a bat bite & mai tai. Everything we tried for food was AMAZING. Service was friendly and great at giving us details about the menu. The neighborhood is not the best so I suggest to Uber here. The food and drinks outweigh the outside world so don’t be scared - get here and try this place!“

“Awesome food and staff always fresh delicious ingredients!“

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

“El mejor en comida mexicana“

“Food? DELICIOUS. Drinks? AMAZING. Service? TOP NOTCH. Staff? FRIENDLIEST people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. I will be back. Count on it!“

“Great atmosphere and even greater food!!!“

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

“I’ve been visiting this restaurant for a little over a year now and it’s easily one of my favorite spots. I typically come during late lunch hours, grab a seat at the bar and enjoy some quiet time reading, scrolling, or chatting with the staff.

The service is always top-notch. Becky and Carlito are incredible , welcoming, attentive and just genuinely good energy to be around. They both also makes the best spicy strawberry margaritas, hands down !

Now the food? Always fresh, always hot and packed with flavor. I rotate between two favorites but let me just say the chicken verde enchiladas are next-level ! The chicken is tender, the verde sauce is flavorful with just the right amount of tang and spice and it’s plated with care. Every bite hits. It’s comforting, satisfying, and honestly one of the best versions I’ve had anywhere. When I’m not ordering that, I go for the steak fajitas which are equally amazing and full of flavor.

The vibe is relaxed, friendly, and never too crowded. It’s a great spot whether you’re coming solo, on a date or with family.

While I do wish they stayed open a bit later, I appreciate that keeping limited hours helps them maintain their high standard of service and food quality. That’s rare and worth protecting.

Highly recommend checking them out you’ll be back after the first visit!“

“Didn’t have to decide between church and brunch! I just tried La Catedral for the first time as I’ve been wanting to try this neighborhood spot for awhile. It seems like this place is slept on gem compared to other NoLibs brunch spots. We had the omelette plate and plaintain French toast and it was sooo flavorful and delicious. Will be coming here as my main brunch spot from now on.“

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

“This place has an awesome vibe! Absolutely love the decor and the energy. The food is delicious and super fresh! A feel good experience all the way around! Good times to be had here with lots of flare! Check it out they do not disappoint!“

“First time customer. Found them here on Google because of 4.5 reviews and close to home. Online menu is not correct with offerings and prices. We ordered on the phone and the worker was very pleasant and helpful. We ordered empanadas, a drizzle burrito and a mix burrito. For dessert we ordered chimichanga cheesecake. On arrival the worker was very pleasant. There is a 3% charge to use your card or tap. Food was average. Presentation was good and food looks very appealing. The drizzle burrito was good. Jalapenos made it spicy but it had too much rice in it as filler as opposed to more carne asada. The mix burrito didn't have any wraps or even shells and I didn't think I would have to ask for them and I didn't. The meat was very thinly sliced and grilled. It was good but underwhelming. Our empanadas..I ordered a 5 pack upgraded to 2 chicken/1 carne asada/1 pork/1 ground beef. We received 2 chicken and 3 ground beef. They were pretty. The wrap was nice. They were very greasy. The chimichanga cheesecake was good it was a slice of cheesecake wrapped in a flour tortilla then coated in cinnamon sugar. Overall it was good but could be better. They do have more items on the menu that's not online like birria.“

“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!“

“@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 best place in the area. Are u looking for real food and fresh flavors? This is the right place. I get 2 birria taco orders and orchata & mango aguas frescas. They have more choices and I’m pretty sure all is soo good 🤤😋 also customer service is good.“

“Yummy………………………………………………..“

“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!“

“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.“

“We are BIG fans of Burrito Feliz and decided to use them for a party and it was absolutely fantastic. They were great to work with while planning and very accommodating to all dietary needs. Everyone said it was delicious and the presentation of the catering was excellent. Will definitely use them again in the future!“

“Yes food was good and also great customer service“

“My family enjoyed the food we ordered last night. It was our first time ordering from this restaurant. We enjoyed everything and the guacamole was super !!“

“Al Pastor tacos were phenomenal! The server could’ve been more engaging (she was practically mute). Delicious food!“

“Su servicio y autentidad en su servicio De comida para todos los gustos“

“Best Mexican food in town!“

“Our waitress Yesenia was great! Everything was delicious. The meats were delicious and cooked to the perfect temperature. The shrimp broth was phenomenal. And for dessert, the tres leches cake was the best. I would leave 10/5 stars if I could. Thank you very much, Tamalex!“

“Love this place, best suadero tacos around“

“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“

“everything was amazing!!! get there early and enjoy.“

“The service I give a 👍🏽. We dined outdoors such a lovely day. The shrimp tacos were tasty😋“

“clean and good atmosphere“

“Excellent work and nice people“

“Decent food. Tacos are a little pricey. I usually get the burritos though and load up on sauces - the sauces are great.

It can get pretty packed in the late afternoon, so don't expect to get a place to sit. Service is straightforward - purchase at kiosk, get a buzzer, pick up food.

Overall pretty okay. Although atmosphere and food is definitely a step down from the New Brunswick location though.“

“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.“

“Katherine nos brindó una atención impecable 👏🏻👏🏻 siempre nos atiende con una sonrisa 💕“
