50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Wenonah

“I’m surprised at the negative reviews. We put in a large order (7 meals). The woman taking the order made it so easy and got everything just right, because honestly, I was dreading being the one to have to call.The spicy beef and jerk chicken empanadas were AMAZING. Can’t wait to order from here again.“

“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!!“

“It's an authentic mom & pop Mexican trattoria , which is a must visit. Esp for their Buffalo pizza, of all things.It's the best pizza I've eaten, maybe due to the fact that it was made in a wood fired ovenOur nachos were a bit too drenched in cheese , but it's a personal choice.Soup was good and warmRed snapper was crispy and baked to perfection in the wood fired ovenEnchiladas were made with corn tortillas, but delicious.I'd love to come back.The host/owner is a delight to meet.His love and care in food prep, service and customer dealing is warm and jovial.“

“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!“

“We had the best service with Kate! She gave us tips on what to order and ahead of time was dead on. We started with a cocktail and had a glass of wine with dinner. We split the spicy chicken empanadas, delicious, however, we did not detect the spice. We split the green chili Caesar. Honestly, the best Caesar in town. I do t see how they get it so cold and crisp, it's amazing! We then each had a ceviche. The baby shrimp, which were much bigger than anticipated, such wonderful flavor! My daughter had the crab, the server suggested mixing it right away to get the sauce mixed in. Very good! It did need more liquid. We simply poured the extra shrimp sauce in the crab, it was superb after that. The tomato on the shrimp just gives it more moisture and such a good flavor! We can't wait to go back!“

“This hot chocolate might be best in Philly. Super cute, seemingly hidden spot. Service is great. Staff is super helpful in explaining anything and everything on the menu. Prices are pretty reasonable for brunch. Dinner menu prices are better.“

“The tacos are amazing. I am a huge fan of the Al pastor and the chicken. Also, every Tuesday is taco Tuesday so by one get one for Al pastor. Best deal ever. Also it’s mom and pop and the service is quick and the staff are always so nice.“

“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.“

“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 have been going here since they opened. I really do love the food, drinks, and the fun interior. The service however always leaves something to be desired. The people are friendly but absent. I often have to wait to even be asked if I want a drink let alone food to start. I am not sure if it is a problem with not enough staff or inexperienced staff. Overall, the staff needs to be more attentive to customers. The music choices are completely fine but please, please turn it down. I was torn between 3 or 4 stars. I went with 4 bc there really is so much potential here. Bottom line, increase attentiveness and decrease the music volume and we got a phenomenal restaurant!“

“Food was great!! We tried the ceviche, guacamole, quesabirria, enchiladas con mole and chalupitas. It was all great food! We were able to spend time with the chef and he's such a sweet funny person. It just added to our experience. The service was smooth quick and polite! Parking can be tough and it may get busy bc the food is great but it's definitely worth trying this place out!“

“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!“

“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 ?“

“Delicious food in a small corner restaurant. I had tacos with steak and chorizo and a Mexican coke. My partner had a steak and chorizo burrito and a horchata. All was yummy with the red and green sauces.Please go and patron them. Worth the trip.Parking: This is in a South Philly neighborhood so the streets are full of cars. Short walk from Tasker BSL though.“

“Everything here was 5 stars across the board — the food, the service, the atmosphere.As for the food, we ordered the birria tacos & ramen, along with a few of the HH street tacos. The flavor was amazing, I haven’t had birria so rich across the East Coast! The horchata was also amazing. The vibes were great inside, and Juana was so kind. It was a wonderful experience and can’t wait to go back!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Just moved to Philly and got take our here on our first day (we were craving good mexican after our sad 1.5 year of living in Portland) and we were NOT disappointed. It was soooooo goood. Torta Milanese, Salmon Ceviche, Tacos Arabes... all top notch. Can't wait to have it again!“

“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!“

“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.“

“If I could give this place a six. I would. We were in South Philly. Looking for a place to grab lunch. My wife loves Frida Kahlo's art work. So we decided to stop in. The young lady that took care of us was cheerful, friendly, accomamadating, and helpful. The place is great. Paintings and decorations on point. Ok you get it. Moving in to the food.. I had a burrito with thin steak. My wife had sandwhich with marinated pork, Mexican cheese, lettuce, tomato.. The portions were huge. The food was delicious. It's rare I have to ask for a take home box. Later I finished it. Was excellent even left over. I highly recommend this place..“

“The portions are big my bowl was really big. We also ordered a burrito, fries and a slice of the churro cheesecake. The fries look seasoned but taste like normal fries. The cheesecake looks sugary but it tastes like normal cheesecake. Definitely would go back and try other things. Very good flavor in the bowl and burrito.“

“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!“

“Got some takeout and it was slammin'. This immediate area was heavily due for some really good Mexican/Hispanic food. Looking forward to dining in.Year update: It's still the best in the area and I'm always excited to eat here!“

“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!“

“Out of the park every time. friendly staff quick service. Uplifting ambiance. && The food never disappointsKid-friendliness: Kids menusWheelchair accessibility: Rand that leads to a flat entranceway. Bathrooms are accessible as well if I recall (&& the hallway only FEELS tight but it’s spacious enough for 2 ppl to pass each other comfortably“

“Best authentic Mexican place in South Philly! Nachos are enormous and delicious and chicken empanadas are like little chicken pot pie packets—so good! Favorite entrees include the chicken mole burrito, carnitas tacos, and carne asada tacos. The owners are super sweet too. :)“

“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“

“Stopped by for some traditional and authentic tacos and they were the best and so yummy that we ordered more to go!! Definitely coming back! Also great location at the Gloucester outlets, definitely stop by for some authentic tacos and homemade juice!!“

“Corner store turned cocina, surprisingly warm and inviting. As vegetarians, we enjoyed the veggie burrito and chile rellenos which were expertly flavored and the complementary tres leches cake was second to none. BYOB. Friendly service. Clean and inviting atmosphere. Good enough for Craig Labain, good enough for me.“

“This place is amazing!!! Everything's delicious, but the potato quesadilla and mole enchiladas are our favorites. Good rice and beans too, which is hard to find! Owners were awesome. The food was clearly all cooked from scratch, it was so fresh.“

“Love Chiquita's al pastor pizza. I also ordered the parmesean garlic chicken tenders which were delicious, however, not sure if it was just a bad batch but it was swimming in oil - suggestion to cut back on the oil cause these tasted fantastic - but having to pour all that oil out of the box wasn't ideal. I will def order them again to try the again, hopefully it was just a fluke!“

“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.“

“When visiting family in NJ, we tried Vicki’s on a quick date night. We arrived around 8 & had a great experience. As we ordered, we asked several questions about the different food items & the server (who we found out was Vicki’s mom) answered all of our questions. Given that we have different spice levels (I have a very low pin tolerance for spicy but love the flavors!), she even suggested items we might enjoy.We ordered a chicken burrito, a chicken quesadilla, chicken enchiladas, & a side of guacamole & chips. We also tried several desserts: flan, rice pudding, & tres leches cake. Our food was delivered in a reasonable time & everything was delicious!The atmosphere was cozy & clean too. My only constructive feedback for the future: perhaps some pictures with the menu (everything was typed on paper) because we didn’t have much context of what we were getting. Otherwise, a very enjoyable experience!“

“Food is delicious ? I got the veggies fajitas and hubby got chicken fajitas. You get chips on the table when you sit. Service was a little slow with drinks and I expected more toppings and guac ? or sour cream with the fajitas but maybe that's an American thing ??‍♀️ the owner stopped by our table and took time to talk to us and tell us how he started his business.. He's very friendly and genuine. If you're ever in the area definitely stop by for a drink or meal.Vegetarian options: Only three vegetarian options ?“

“LOVE this Qdoba. The staff are very efficient and friendly. The manager is positive and friendly, there's a woman who addresses customers in Spanish and I find it to be great for building rapport, and a young girl who kind and is great at finishing up orders when ringing you up. The food is great and I find it to be better than Chipotle and Pancheros. Better options, in my opinion. Despite it being a drive away, they've earned customers out of my Boyfriend and I.“

“Taco ‘bout a tasty meal! We stopped by Pistola's Del Sure for tacos and it did not disappoint!For dinner, we ordered:- Papas Fritas: fries with garlic and cotija cheese- Traditional Guacamole- Mahi Mahi Tacos: tempura battered, pickled red cabbage, chipotle aioli, cilantro- Shrimp Al Pastor Tacos: pineapple pico, pickled red onions, salsa verde, cilantro- ChurrosNext time you’re in the Philly area, swing by Pistolas Del Sur to fulfill your taco craving!-Follow @centralpafoodie on Instagram for more PA food reviews & pictures!“

“Nice side corner restaurant serving Mexican foods and drinks. Started with very good fresh tortillas and house salsasI had the fajita with beef, chicken, and shrimp. Lots of well cooked veggies. Sides of lettuce, cojtita cheese and refried beans. A large Mexican coke bottle was also added.My partner had the chorizo burrito and a horchataWe both were very satisfied with the foods. Recommended thoroughly.“

“Just tried this for the first time. Very good! My friend got the nachos and they were terrific. I got 3 beef tacos with rice and beans. I really enjoyed them. Very filling. The young lady who waited on us was really nice. It is usually counter service but she took our order. I would like to go again sometime.“

“Omg!!!! I found this place by accident today. Walker over to it from the far side of the lot expecting to see a pizza place. Walker inside and it literally can't get anymore basic. A few tables and folding chairs. Over the place was clean and the bathroom was very clean. Now for the important part. They served me up the best chorizo tacos I have ever had! Good authentic Mexican tacos served with radish I put some of their house made hot sauce on the tacos and it was heaven. This is one of the hidden gems that you rarely find. I'll be back for sure !!!! I should also mention the service was great the nice lady behind the counter was very pleasant.“

“Wow! Can I tell you something? This place has amazing food! Fresh everything (tortillas, salsa, etc) and extremely well made. Really it’s some of the best I’ve had in Philly. And I loved the atmosphere and extremely kind customer service. Come here if you know good, real food.“

“This is a restaurant that will most definitely be a repeat customer to! Authentic Mexican style cooking, a reasonably broad menu that was affordable with large portion sizes.The dining area is somewhat small, there's a lot going on in a small area and it feels crowded and busy. This is easily overlooked by the outstanding quality of the food!“

“In the city's maze, where flavors abound,Barbacoa tacos are the best found.On the east coast, a star,No other comes par,Where a chef's skill makes taste buds astound.This place, a treasure for locals to share,Serves tacos that none can compare.With community's praise,Through its culinary maze,It stands as the pinnacle, rare.“
