“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.“

“It’s such a treat to find such a rare gem of original Mexican barbacoa in Philly of all places!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Shrimp Tacos crazy good… crab guacamole delish“

“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.“

“Awesome food and staff always fresh delicious ingredients!“

“El mejor en comida mexicana“

“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 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.“

“Muy bonito ambiente agradable lo recomiendo 💯“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great atmosphere and even greater food!!!“

“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%“

“My wife and I LOVE Tacoria!!

The only thing that matches the quality of the food, is the quality of the service and the super creative atmosphere of the restaurant!

We also appreciate all the accommodation to gluten-free and dairy free.

So much better than chipotle!

Daniel and Philly are killing it over there!!

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Very good food 10/10 I recommend you guys it’s so delicious“

“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!“

“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! 🌮🙌“

“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.“

“@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“
