“Bought shrimp tacos, chicken tacos, esquites, chicken tacos and guacamole. The only downside is that the chicken tacos were made with dark chicken thigh meat, I wrongly assumed it would be chicken breast (my fault for not asking).Otherwise good decent food!“

“We went for dinner around 5pm today with a group of 7 and everything was fantastic!!! The food was so fresh and flavorful. You can definitely tell they put love into their food and pride themselves on great presentation. BYOB with great mixers and smoothies. The service was very attentive and friendly. Very cozy inviting atmosphere. Can't wait to go back!!“

“Pineapple Raisin Tamale is understated! Get Pineapple Raisin Tamale if it is offered. Get two! Get Three! It's pretty awesome and I am kicking myself for getting just one and having to share! Relative to the tacos I think these tamales may not get as much publicity but they are unique and fantastic! Of course the tacos are great as well. Of the two taco versions, Lamb and Pork, the Pork was my favorite. The lamb was slightly dry and maybe needed a little spice for my taste. If you have to get them to go because of lack of seating, don't wait too long to eat! If only their standard hours of business were better I'd be there more often.“

“Bomb Mexican food in Philly! It is definitely very authentic and they had a lot of menu options that I don't usually see at other Mexican places. The margaritas were so good with many different flavors to choose from. Definitely recommend getting the nachos. The guacamole was super green and vibrant, but unfortunately I felt like it was just a bit too bland and could have used some more salt and lime. I enjoyed my quesadilla, I had never had squash blossom in a quesadilla before and it actually worked really well. If you don't like onions though like me, they do put onions in their quesadillas so make sure to ask for no onions! I wouldn't come here on a date night, ambience is very casual, but I would definitely come here with a group of friends to catch up and get some margs!“

“Our first visit to La Ingrata and we had a wonderful experience. Co-owner Karla talked us through the menu and provided great service and conversation throughout the meal. I opted for a special of the day - pork pieces with skin still attached cooked in an amazing salsa verde, served with warm house-made tortillas, rice, and beans. So delicious eaten taco-style with a just-right hot sauce. My wife had a shrimp dish in mildly spicy tomato sauce and side salad, also delicious. We started with the house-made guacamole which was outstanding, along with fresh in-house tortilla chips. BYOB meant we enjoyed the meal with our own beers. Outstanding food, friendly service, a chance to taste some new dishes and a Mexico City-style of cooking, and affordable prices - we'll definitely be back!“

“This was a place we stumbled on by accident, waiting for a concert at Union transfer. Small little place but the food was unique and really good! Service was a little lacking but it was a busy Saturday night. Seems to be a popular spot! Highly recommend if you're in the area!“

“Chorizo Pollo (grilled chicken,chorizo,onions, pineapple) was flavorful and portions generous. Chicken nachos were fresh and a good sized portion. Service (Jordan) was prompt and attentive without hovering. Had to park in the parking garage as this is located in a college town and streetparking is limited, but it's worth it. We'll be back.“

“Great service! Nice atmosphere! Amazing food! Both Tacos and Ramen! The Boba tea is one of the best I've had in a while! I'd recommend trying Black Tea Boba with almond milk! Will definitely visit again next time we're in Philly!“

“Everything has been delicious. I can only make it for breakfast or dinner during the week. Unfortunately they're only open for dinner on Sundays, so breakfast is my only choice and breakfast burrito my go to. I hope they're a permanent fixture in the neighborhood for years to come“

“I've been meaning to try this place for so long and saw that they were recently put on GrubHub so tried them for lunch today. I got the San Jose beef barbacoa burrito. It was excellent. Grilled really nicely on the outside and everything inside was super flavorful. Will definitely be trying some of their Cuban sandwiches next!“

“I’ve eaten here twice, now. I thought there was no way that what I ordered tonight (quesadillas w/rib eye) could match the Bufalo pizza from two days ago. I was as wrong as I could be. I’m guessing that I will eat here 80 to 100 times this year. It’s THAT good.“

“Once again I found myself traveling for work on the city of Brotherly Love looking for something both local and delicious. Mole Poblano was an absolute dream. It's what we would say in Spanish "muy bueno". The staff and service were incredibly kind and attentive. Now let's talk about the food. Ended up going with the chips and guacamole with the steak burrito. I can honestly say I have never had chips this good in my entire life yet alone guacamole that can be eaten alone with a spoon. The steak burrito had flavors that transported me across space and time. Highly recommend this place to anyone and everyone with taste buds.“

“I'm a native Texan and I am in HEAVEN. I just moved in down the street and this place is AMAZING. El Caracol serves up authentic dishes that are incredible and oh man I'm gonna eat so much. My husband ordered the camerones a la diabla (deviled shrimp) and they are gloriously garlicy. Add the orange sauce for extra spicy. I ordered the burrito mojado (wet burrito) with carnitas (it's the most delicious braised pork) and I could not stop eating it. The green salsa on the burrito is the perfect medium spicy. I cannot say enough good things. I am so thankful El Caracol is near me. It's small but this place is a must try. If you don't like it we can't be friends.“

“I must have passed by this foodtruck 100x without trying but decided to give it a shot today on lunch break. I love burritos, tacos, churros and all more than most. This was the best steak burrito I've had in recent memory! I won't be passing by again without grabbing something. Birria tacos on my to do list! Highly recommend!“

“This place is delicious!! I’m originally from San Diego and it’s very hard to find Mexican food that’s even close to anything I grew up eating. This was by far the best I’ve had outside of San Diego. I can’t wait to go back. Enjoy the photo of my half eaten food ?. Every Mexican restaurant nearby needs to come here and take notes.“

“If I could give ten stars, I would. This is some of the best food in town. You really can’t do much better. The menu is innovative and fuses deliciousness from different cultures. It is always fresh. It’s also consistent. The chefs there (yea they are chefs, not cooks) also help reduce food waste by making their own soup stocks. Have you tried the birria Raman? That consommé is liquid gold. It’s heady and dense. The soup alone is a meal.May I also add that the people who work there are solid individuals that genuinely love to cook and create.Please eat here.Kid-friendliness: All people welcomed here. All ages too!“

“Lived in Philly for 15 years tried most of the Mexican restaurants here. Today was my first time dining, and I can honestly say this is one of the best Mexican places in the city. Flavorful dishes and warm friendly service! Can’t wait to come back again! Thank you for the delicious meal ?“

“Love this place and go in/order here often since its local. I really like the birra dumplings and seafood eggroll. However, I recently tried their wings ordering out and was HIGHLY disappointed?. I paid $12 for soggy old meat with no flavor, yet I ordered the chipotle wings . I made my two friends try the wings bc i refused to even eat them. She said it burnt her lip and the smell made her nauseous. They were literally FUNKY. Will still continue to eat here because for the most part their food is good. However after this experience I won’t risk ordering their wings??!!!“

“A gem that always delivers in south philly! Super amazing tacos and tortas and from that I’d try much more of their menu in the future. They set the standard so I imagine the rest of the food is just as superb. Service here is always really good, servers are very energetic and kind and able to speak two languages, so utmost respect. Their agua frescos are huge and very tasty. I want to try their dessert but their portions are just so generous and perfect to keep me full for hours. 10/10 everytime would bring everyone I know here.“

“Delish food - n of 3 times been so far and every time has been on point. Prices are definitely respectable (except $4 for extra pico) and the servers have always treated us nicely. Definitely recommend for Cantina food in the middle of Philly.“

“Had a chorizo torta without jalapeños. On point, definitely delicious. Was visiting Philly from GA and I gotta say the Mexican food in Philly is so much better. The flavor of my food was unique and super delish. From the chips to the fries to the actual entree. Would come back here again if I’m ever back in Philly. Price was good too for the quality of the food.“

“The food was excellent and just what I was in the mood for. We got the special (a carne asada burrito), chicken enchiladas, and chips and salsa.We are visiting from out of town and brought our kids with us. The waitress initially acted like she had never seen a child before ? I understand that they do a big bar business, but it was before 5pm and it was honestly comical how surprised they seemed by children. The staff recovered quickly however and we had a very nice meal. Accessibility note: it's all high tops indoors.“

“Best nachos ever! Every chip is the "best nacho chip" with cheese, salsa, jalapeños, and beans. We always get the street corn and gorditas. Their wings are very good as well. Staff is extremely kind and attentive. Its a neighborhood byob spot and its fantastic.“

“My wife and I tried this place for the first time on 02/09. They actually had live entertainment! A guy singing his heart out in Spanish. It really added to the atmosphere. The food is phenomenal! Very authentic. The portions are huge, and the prices are reasonable. We will definitely be back.“

“The best guac I’ve ever had, hands down! The homemade chips paired excellently with it too. I shared the mini sopesitos and they were great, not too heavy either. The birria tacos hit the spot! Tres leches was so light and fluffy, the perfect ending to a delicious meal. The restaurant is very small but gives a homey, “one of the family” feel. BYOB. Service was prompt and friendly. I can’t wait to come back!Also, the leftover tacos were even great the next day heated up in the air fryer“

“Great casual option with a large and varied menu that has something for everyone! We kept it simple and shared chips and guac, and each had an entree (quesadilla and burrito). All the food was good, but nothing struck us as a must recommend either. The restaurant has a lot of customers collecting take out and was full on a Friday night, so the servers were kept busy. It took us a little bit to get our order in, but once it was food was fast. It was also 6pm on a Friday though! We loved the decorations and ambiance. It looks like they have limited outside seating as well for nicer weather. It is BYO, and what I wish we realized in advance is if you bring liquor you can mix it into cocktails! I think they even made margaritas for the table next to us with their tequila bottle. Definitely looking to try that next time!“

“The food was good. We ordered the elotes corn dip and chicken enchiladas with red sauce. The pitcher of strawberry margheritas we ordered was also good. The place was busy and a little loud, and I wish their seating didn't feel as crowded. But over all it was good.“

“El mariachi is an outstanding Mexican restaurant with exceptional and authentic Mexican food and generous and kind service. The interior design is gorgeous and cozy as well. I love everything I've ordered there - tacos, burritos, and chicken enchilada with homemade mole (their mole is the best I've ever had)! They just opened an incredible Mexican dessert place next door as well!“

“LaNova was a surprise for our party of three. We were expecting a larger place but don't let the fact that it is a "hole-in-the-wall strip shopping center kinda restaurant. The minute you enter you are draped in the wonderful aromas of true Mexican food. I just knew we would love whatever we ordered! There was non-stop take-out & deliveries. I pretty much closed my eyes & pointed to something. I could have been happy with a number of items but I was delighted with my. Beef & chorizo tacos. My husband & son were also pleased with what they ordered. I can't remember the names but they both had chicken cassadias which had a white sauce. If you are in bc the neighborhood give it a try...we did & so happy we did!“

“I'm visiting NJ from El Paso, Texas and there is nowhere to find Puebla food :(. I ordered a cemita de milanesa de res and it was delicious ???? just as I remembered them on my visits to Puebla, the portion is huge ?, It only takes 2 servings, also pot coffee, that one lacked flavor. The place was clean, and the service was excellent from the young man who served us, very attentive, polite and helpful, I will definitely go again.“

“What a great authentic Mexican restaurant. I enjoyed we spoke only in Spanish with the wait staff and half of the items on the menu were different than a traditional Mexican restaurant in the US. We had a huarache of bistec which was more than enough for me wife and I. We will be going back soon!!!“

“We just used La Cita catering for my husband’s 50th birthday party that we hosted at our home. Our event was for about 30 people. We ordered taco platters, enchiladas, rice and beans and guacamole. Everything was delicious! I worked with Olivia on the order and the process was easy, the price was reasonable and everything was packed up beautifully in trays to bringing home and drop over chafing dishes and sternos.We always have enjoyed dining at La Cita and getting take out, but now we add to the list using them for catering!“

“I knew this spot had some tasty tacos, but the gigantic pollo cemita that I enjoyed a couple days ago blew my mind! The sandwich was stacked high on a toasted roll and included a generous portion of tender pollo milanese, a mass of snappy Oaxaca cheese strands, jack cheese, creamy avocado, ham slices, chipotle peppers, onion, and tomato. I enjoyed it with red and green salsas. I’d get it sans tomato next time. Can’t wait to return for another, and to try some other eats!“

The flavor is amazing and the amount of meat you get in the tacos won’t leave you disappointed. I ordered one of each (pastor, carne y pollo) each one was 10/10 dnt forget to squeeze that lime on top ;)Parking: Street parking only and it’s located on a busy street. Try to aim for side streets.Wheelchair accessibility: Restaurant does not have any stairs to enter the location which is wheelchair accessible for sure.“

“First time at Canela today and they did not disappoint at all! Ordered to go two sets of street tacos (Al pastor, birria, and steak) with flour tortillas and corn tortillas, a steak burrito, and churros. Everything was fresh and delicious! The burrito came with fries and the tacos came with fresh limes and cucumbers. They included napkins, cutlery, extra sauces, and complimentary chips and salsa at no extra charge. This will be my new regular spot for tacos and more! I can't wait to try more items on the menu.“

“The truck is 40 minutes from me so I got there at 3:00pm on the dot on Tuesday. The truck was not there. I checked their Instagram for maybe an update but there wasn't one. I sat and waited in the car. (Btw there's a free parking lot and plenty free street parking). They finally arrived at 3:15pm and setup at 3:20pm. People lined up so fast. They took the first 5 orders then made them. I didn't have my order taken until 3:45pm. The lady taking orders was kind and sweet. She made sure I knew what I ordered so there were no mix ups. I ordered the Chicken Birria tacos & cantaloupe juice. 3 tacos are $15 and 1 juice is $5. They only take cash so come prepared. I didn't see an ATM around. I finally received my order at 4:05pm. I didn't eat it until I got home. The tacos were still crunchy and flavorful! 3 tacos comes with consume sauce to dip, onions, 1 jalapeno pepper and a side of spicy sauce (IDK what it was). I would recommend that they premade maybe 10 or 20 sets of tacos that way they will get their line down quicker. I understand things happen so there's a lot of reasons why they may have been late to open. But, I have seen other complaints on their Instagram of them not being there on time. At least post letting customers know that you will be there later. Other than that I would definitely recommend anyone to try their tacos if you are in the area. But if you're further away like me and want to go to pick up lunch "real quick," it won't be real quick! You're better off finding Birria tacos at a Mexican truck near you. I'm glad I tried them and had the time to wait!Parking: A lot of street parking and free parking lot under the overpass“

“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.“

“The food here is amazing! Get past the small size, the lack of ambiance, and the plastic silverware and sink your teeth into the best tacos and burritos you've ever had. I've traveled in Mexico and been to tons of Mexican restaurants all over the Philadelphia region and this place is the real deal. The staff are friendly and helpful, they've got quart-sized authentic drinks like horchata and hibiscus tea, and the food is served quickly. If you don't want to eat there (or at the outdoor picnic tables) get take out. But don't miss out on this place. We're going back again this weekend!“

“Delicious food in an open air environment makes this place refreshing even in a metropolis like Philadelphia. They have some of the best unique dishes that I can’t find anywhere else. The staff is so kind. The umbrellas and beautiful flowers at each table helped make this place a relaxing space. I will definitely be returning.Parking: You may have to go around the block more than once, or park further away and walk a block, but the food is worth it. I was fortunate and found a parking right in front of the restaurant.“

“I would like to share my recent experience.First and foremost, I have been a patron of La Esperanza for over a decade and I have never had a bad experience. The staff is friendly, caring, and attentive. Especially Oscar. He is such a hard worker and doesn’t sweat, not even under pressure of being the best bartender. I arrived at 6pm. The busiest time at the restaurant and waited patiently for my food, like a good patron would. The food came out hot and delicious and the drinks were phenomenal. 1000/1000 recommend! Thank you Oscar, a true American Hero!“
