“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.“

“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.“

The guy and girl in there was very nice and displayed great customer service. Give this place a try, you won’t regret it. Also get the supreme shrimp tacos!!“

“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 !!“

“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.“

“Awesome food and Margaritas!”And the staff was awesome and gave me a free fried ice cream and sang me “Happy Birthday in Spanish!”“

“Amazing, delicious. creative food!❤️“

“I recommend that you double check your on line order before leaving the store. I ordered 2 bowls and the bag they gave me was 1 bowl and one burrito. Fortunately I checked before driving home and having to return. It took about 15 minutes for them to correct the order.“

“Excellence authentic Mexican food. Highly recommend Fridas“

“Went here with my husband and we are out of town and OMG the food was amazing!! wish I was closer I would be here every day!!“

“Awesome food and great friendly service!“

“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“

“Always the best, and loving the new location! Busy afternoon at the bar for National Margarita Day! No problem, the manager jumps right in and makes sure all parties are taken care of! One of our favorite spots!! 🥰🍋‍🟩“

“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.“

“This is the place to be on Main St. #bestvibeindayunk“

“This was my second time here. I went a couple of months ago and I ordered the same type of tacos (cauliflower). The tacos this time were much more flavourful, had more sauce/seasonings. I also had the same margarita and it was also much improved.

I was there with a party of 8. Service was great and one of our party was running late. We weren’t rushed and were asked if we wanted to wait to order food, which I really appreciated.

Our party included meat eaters, vegetarians, and gluten free (celiac, not by choice). There were multiple choices for everyone. Everyone thought their meals were really good - and this is a crowd that frequents Mexican restaurants.

I have celiac disease and can tell within 30 minutes whether or not I got exposed to gluten. The server was very knowledgeable about gluten free options, from drinks to the food. I was assured that what I ordered had no cross contamination and they don’t put other items in the fryer that they use for tortilla chips. I had heard that they had stopped doing this a few months ago from an online review - but seems like they have a dedicated fryer for their chips again. I did not have a reaction!

The rooftop deck is beautiful and just a wonderful atmosphere. The entire restaurant though is thoughtfully decorated and the murals are gorgeous. Also really thrilled about supporting a local who clearly put a lot of thought into opening a restaurant here in East Falls and making it such a wonderful experience.“

“Great lunch spot after Franklin Institute“

“Our first visit. Friendly staff and prompt service. Huge plentiful portions. Horchata is excellent. Camarones al gusto and Filet de pescado both came with fries and toast. Taste is OK on both but the fries are soaked in the excess liquid from the shrimp and fish. Soggy fries are not permitted. Clean facility with plenty of seats and tables.“

“DELICIOUS!!! The carnitas tostadas are delicious, the tacos dorados or flautas, super rich, the tamarind water, delicious, I recommend them 100%The reasonable price, enough food for the price and the taste very very rich

Parking: CVS Pharmacy parking lot is usually used“

“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.“

“If the man who runs this taco truck runs for mayor he has my vote. He has quality food, from his breakfast sandwich to his Quesadilla's everything is great. You get a different hot sauce almost every day, because you know it is likely made that morning and they are always good. And the pricing of his food is so good, it is practically a poor financial decision to not eat their.

Never change.“

“Great tacos, enchiladas, tlacoyos, fish, sauce, everything!“

“Food was absolutely delicious. Great place, friendly staff, and awesome food😁“

“Been coming here for the past 7 or 8 months. The food never fails. The best burritos I’ve had anywhere. Get the pastor burrito and tell them to put the red sauce inside if you like it spicy. I’m eating the mole enchiladas right now and they’re amazing. The elotes are really good too. I want to try everything on the menu but I can’t stop eating the pastor burrito, it’s so good. Staff is very friendly and the owner is a great guy.“

“Tried here for the first time tonight and it was delicious! We will definitely be ordering from here again!“

“clean and good atmosphere“

“la atención de sus meseras es de calidad“

“After passing this place a million times, we got takeout a week ago. The jumbo burritos were amazing!! The chips & queso were also out of this world. Friday pizza night is now burrito night. We’ve gotten it 2 weeks in a row & it was great both times.“

“i love you El limon Ambler“
