“This Taco Bell / KFC turned it around for real .. couple new hires and boom its running like a top. Tip of the cap the the new guys and girls they brought in. It's night and day.

Update may 2026- An employee here stole my child’s scooter from out front of the store and drove it home. $500 scooter stolen by a KFC Taco Bell employee.“

“Foodie Alert: Go!!

Excellent!! Fresh, deeply flavored sauces. Vibrant flavors, and an outstanding sourdough tortilla. Don't forget, it's BYOB, and they have really good juices and mixes ready for your tequila or favorite spirit. A true gem in the competitive South Philly Mexican Cuisine scene.“

“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!“

“Fantastic!! Queso fundido with chorizo served with flour tortillas was amazing. The birria tacos are definitely worth getting again. And the drinks were delicious and delightful. The Sangre de Bruja and the Purgotorio!!!“

“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.“

“1st time there and can’t wait to go back! Great atmosphere, customer service and outstanding food! Loved the variety and unique tacos. Highly recommend. 👍🏻“

“Went here from dinner tonight and this place blew me away! From the second we entered and were met by the host, to the kind server quickly filling our glasses with water while we waited for our table, this place knows how to make you feel special. Our drinks and food were spectacular with the standout dishes being the Tacos de Pescadillas, and the Pollo Encacahuatado but everything was amazing. Dan was the best host, sharing every detail of each dish and drink and making great suggestions. One of the best meals we have had in a long time. Can't wait to come back and try more drinks and dishes!“

“Food so good I can’t wait to try the rest of the menu. Delicious drinks. Definitely coming back ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“El mejor en comida mexicana“

“Awesome food and staff always fresh delicious ingredients!“

“Found this place on TikTok and sooo glad that I did! My family and I took a ride to try their matcha and coffee. We ended up getting matcha, coffee lattes and nachos. I don’t know what was better, the matcha, the coffee or the nachos. We LOVED EVERYTHING, even went back for second lattes. I couldn’t decide on which matcha flavor to try so I got both, so glad I did! The nachos were filled with fresh ingredients, excellent guacamole and delicious chicken. Prices were on point, great atmosphere. We will definitely be back!“

“amazing food and service every single time!!“

“Cute place.
Hubby and I stopped in to grab breakfast, before heading back home.
Hubby got the Cream Brulee French Toast. This was delicious!!!
I got the plantain French Toast. Topped with Nutella and Condensed Milk. There was hardly any Condensed Milk. The Plantains were not very sweet. But it was still delicious.
We both just had coffees. The food takes a long time. But it is mot fast food. So don't expect a rushed plate.“

“Todo super, y excelente servicio!“

“The food was fabulous!! Atmosphere was spot on! Love, love, loved it!!“

“I find it an awesome place to sit outside with great drinks and a great happy hour especially the nachos just wish they added chorizo on the nacho’s for happy hour. Nice to relax here last night was the Phillies game and it was great👍“

“Ama would be a viral must go to in Mexico City. The fact it’s here in Philly is a gift. Ama never disappoints. The food is highly elevated Mexican cuisine. It’s like being in a Mexican family home and served the best of the best. My favorite is the Tuna Tostada. The swordfish tacos are elite. I highly recommend the Lamb Neck Birria. It’s so freaking good. The staff is super friendly and attentive. The owner and his wife are there most nights and run a beautiful, inviting restaurant.“

“Birriadillas are excelente!♥️“

“Inventive, incredibly delicious cuisine. Can’t wait to go back and try more.“

“The food is delicious! The presentation is beautiful and the service is exceptional. This is the the best restaurant on all of the Upper Darby - Drexel Hill area. I highly recommend it. Perfect for a special occasion. Take out or delivery is also available.“

“This San Diego native gives their California burrito five full stars. It’s almost impossible to find a burrito spot on the east coast that doesn’t just fill with rice and beans, let alone that gets the carne asada right. But Cholula gri got it right. Thank you to the staff and workers here for making something so delicious.“

“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.“

“Excellent food. Good service“

“Everything was wonderful for my Birthday. Service was really on point.“

“No pictures because the food hit the table at home and we immediately forgot all about our phones 😂 On a whim I was craving fish tacos, searched Google, found La Ingrata and headed over. Let me tell you… absolutely worth it. The food was a solid 10/10. The taco pizza was unreal and the fish tacos were honestly to die for. Fresh, flavorful, and one of those meals you keep thinking about after you leave. We ordered takeout, and while we waited for our food, we sat down and ended up chatting with the family. The owners’ 4-year-old daughter came and sat next to us, and if you know me, you know I’m all about the kiddos. Holding her little pile of tip coins and her pack of stickers, we somehow got into conversations about trains, numbers, birthdays… and found out ours are one day apart. Clearly we vibed because Virgos do things like that 😂 The owners came over and talked with us about business, and as food truck owners ourselves, my boyfriend and I instantly connected with them. Beyond the amazing food was just a hardworking family trying to make it, just like the rest of us. Seeing the next generation sitting right there alongside their parents, learning and growing in the middle of it all, was really the icing on the cake for me. Support family businesses. Support people chasing dreams. And definitely go get those fish tacos.“

“Amazing food and even better service! Salsa Music was the icing on the cake. Leonardo our host takes the award for best host ever! Super knowledgeable , professional and great person! We are coming back for sure!“

“Muy bonito ambiente agradable lo recomiendo 💯“

“Service was excellent! This was my first time here, and the staff made the entire experience enjoyable. They took the time to make sure I chose something I would like and explained everything I was getting, which I really appreciated. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. I’ll definitely be back the next time I’m in town!“

“Pretty atmosphere and good food“

“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!“

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

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

“This place has the best Mexican food, I’ve been coming here for 2 years and it’s delicious every time. I love to see how they’re getting more popular because they definitely deserve the hype. I had a party of 13 people here and it did not disappoint. 5/5 stars“

“One of my favorite places to eat! Well-crafted food with a sense of adventure. Always delicious. Incredible margaritas too. Service is attentive (calling you out, Alex- you are wonderful!). Can’t go wrong.“

“Been going there for a while and I have nothing bad to say about it“

“Awesome experience. There was an issue with my previous order which I left a pretty scathing review that I thought would get no follow up. However, with my most recent visit I saw one of the employees double checking to see if my order was correct without even being asked. I really do appreciate that type of follow up!“

“A+ such a great location and friendly staff“

“Food is excellent , ingredients & flavor superb. The Owner is truly a sweetheart .. great vibes…curbside service also…“

“No one at my table had any complaints just compliments. Everything was so, so good. The staff were lovely. Highly, highly recommend.“

“We had a great dinner and the bartender Vasanth was great! Food was fresh and very tasty. Nice restaurant to visit if in Penn Landing area in Philadelphia“

“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.“

“la comida rica y la buena atención“

“We've going to Tamarindos for over 20 years. Fernando is an excellent owner. The new menu is awesome. Free Margheritas with entrees.“

“Come here multiple times and have had a great time as usual! 🌮✨ Food is very good. 😋 The staff is always friendly and understanding. 🤗 This is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants! 🌶 Unlike the other place I went to last week, which was a mess and all over the place, this place can do no wrong. 🙌🏽🔥“

“Wonderful addition to the KOP restaurant scene. Fantastic tacos! Friendly, super clean and delicious food“
