Restaurantji's Newtown Square recommendations for the finest Mexican cuisine.
“Co workers and I will frequent this location for one good reason, and I hope Chipotle Corp reads this and learns a valuable lesson:They give you a good portion size.My biggest complaints about Chipotle Co have always been that they changed their burrito wrap, and they cut the portions down to miniscule amounts; "Skimpflation". At least at this location, I've always gotten a good size burrito and not a "snack wrap burrito".I also dont want to forget: The staff here are also extremely friendly, and I'm always happy with their service.“
“We came for a large work dinner and everything was phenomenal. Our waiter, Greg, was incredibly personable and friendly. He knew the menu and made great recommendations. We were laughing the whole time. The food as well was fantastic--some of the best fajitas I've ever had. Will definitely be back next time we're in town!“
“Don Mezcal was an incredible experience. Right as you walk in, you can feel the amazing atmosphere. The food and service are also amazing, and I was taken away by the quality of the food. I would definitely recommend Don Mezcal to someone, as it was amazing.“
“My favorite place for lunch. In 2023 I decided to limit eating takeout and fried fast foods. One place I will make adjustments to my lifestyle of eating healthy is California Tortilla. There food is always fresh and my favorite is Blackened fish taco. Good Job guys!“
“I ordered the Beef Birria Tacos. First time was good I ordered on a Saturday night. My second time I went around 4pm not as good the consommé had a strong tomato paste flavor to me and they added too many onions to the top. Overall the food was good. Best to call ahead there really isn’t a waiting area inside. I would recommend them and continue to support this small local business.“
“We ordered a torta al pastor and enchiladas verdes. Everything on both plates was delicious except for the chicken in the enchiladas, which was not so good, but I was still very happy with the meal. I wouldn't recommend dining in if you're looking for a quiet eating environment, though - it was pretty noisy in the restaurant between the loud salsa music and the loud thumping (??).“
“I would give 6 stars if I could!!! Such a great addition to Havertown! The food is delicious, love the vibe and the service is amazing!!! The pineapple express wings were AMAZING! I saw some instagram stories saying to get them and our server Marissa (who was the sweetest by the way) sealed the deal by saying awesome they were- she was right!!! I am not a huge wing person and could have eaten 20 of them! The guac is so good and fresh; served with warm chips. My husband and I both got fajitas- shrimp and steak, soooo good! Also the cucumber marg was great, strong (not mad about that) and delicious! Adding this in because my husband is a huge sports guy- the Phillies ended and within minutes they put on March Madness games- no awkward gap where you're watching infomercials for hours (it is his pet peeve haha). So happy that Al Pastor is in town! Can't wait to return!“
“Wow! What a pleasant surprise this place is. Get the Burria Tacos they are delicious! Delightful shredded beef tacos where the shell is cooked in the broth. To top it off they give you a cup of Ajou to dip them in and oh my God it is amazing! This restaurant has menu items unlike any other place around and they are all great. The one area they need to improve on is wiping down tables after diners leave. Every time we go to sit down the table is dirty from previous diners. The counter employees are doing nothing and often on their phones yet the tables are unclean. I don't appreciate eating food on a dirty table.“
“One of the best experiences I've ever had dining out. The staff worked like a team, never missing a beat. The fresh guacamole made table side was amazing as was the cheese dip and entrees. Super friendly staff and delicious food scores this a 10 out of 10 for us! Well done!“
“my first time stepping into this restaurant and the attentive service was just as GREAT as the delicious food i was servednot too many places render both great customer service and great food but this place does THANX TO ALEJANDRA CABRERA for making my visit welcoming ? i definitely will stop again and recommend this place hands down“
“i found this place while searching for a chipotle and im very happy i did. ordered the birria chicken bowl and elote. the bowl came with diced tomatoes, red cabbage, cucumbers and guac (w no additional cost!). chicken was perfectly cooked and seasoned but i can eat the lemon cilantro rice for days..! this was probably my first proper elote and it was flipping delicious. quick service for take outi will be back !“
“We dined outside in a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere. The service and food were excellent. We enjoyed delicious coffee and a wonderful breakfast, freshly prepared and pleasantly served.We will be visiting again very soon.Vegetarian options: Fresh avocado and delicious gluten free toastDietary restrictions: Gluten free bread was an added surpriseParking: Parking very easy“
“I stopped here a few times ago, and it never disappointed me. Today, I was in the mood for a burrito and didn't mind driving the one hour from my house. Thank you for the great service. Also, if you guys have any questions, you can chat with them on Google.. they answer supper fast.“
“I live in Berks County but make the trek to Hidalgo whenever possible. Not a fancy place but very authentic & the food, service & staff are very, very good! We ordered Ceviche, Guacamole, taco's & soup for apps (4 of us dinning) and that were all really tasty & fresh. Ceviche was top notch!. Our entree's were very flavorful and the portion size is great. It is BYOB so bring your Tequila and let them make one of the best Margaritas you will taste. If you're lucky you will get to hear the lovely owner serenade the restaurant with Spanish singing! She's really a great singer and her performance adds to the atmosphere and dining experience! Check then out.. you won't be disappointed!Parking: Parking garage is right down the street for no more than $4“
“Authentic, cheap and super tasty Mexican food!! Loved how friendly the staff was and the music playing made me feel right at home. Went with an order of 3 different tacos on their super soft flour tortillas that were charred perfectly and topped with a good amount of cilantro and raw onions. The barbacoa(pulled pork) was my favorite out of the three because of how flavorful, tender and juicy the meat was. Could eat that with plate of rice and beans every day easily. The tinga and the lengua were also super delicious and must try options when coming here. Those sauces tho they have at every table just made the tacos even better. Loved the spicy red sauce and the green sauce chilled it down just a tad to add a beautiful balance that made every taco a delight.“
“Nestled within the bustling King of Prussia Mall, Plaza Azteca offers a tantalizing array of Mexican cuisine that promises to satisfy any craving for south-of-the-border flavors. The menu is a treasure trove of classic Mexican dishes, featuring everything from sizzling fajitas to cheesy enchiladas and flavorful tacos. I opted for the carne asada tacos, and they were nothing short of spectacular. The tender, well-seasoned beef nestled in warm, handmade tortillas, topped with fresh salsa and guacamole, made for a truly mouthwatering experience. Despite the friendly demeanor of the staff, the slow service was a significant downside to an otherwise enjoyable dining experience.“
“I'm not from this town! But I love to eat, I had to check this little spot filled with bilingual woman who make their own cream for tacos n such! I liked it ? I have to go back AGAIN to make a fo'sure decision here's a little pic of what I ate 3 ? tacos and beans. My friend had a chicken sandwich ? “
“My husband got the pork with rice and salad and I'll myself got steak stew with rice and beans and avocado. The serving was plenty enough to fill you and take her. The taste was very good. I would recommend anyone to come and taste there's food. Besides the food this place is so beautiful scenery. I love it, and love the five it has like the music and people being happy“
“I've been eating from this place since they opened and I love the food. You can tell the food is cooked with love. The owner is great and so are the workers. I tell everyone about this place especially if you are looking for good food. Just make sure you call ahead or have extra time, they are very busy and a “
“Fantastic food for such an affordable price. This is a very authentic restaurant with food that tastes fresh and is served very professionally. I went there with my partner and we had a wonderful time. Only big drawback is that parking is hard to find. I highly recommend the Horchata- mine was served to me in a plastic soup container, but that's $6 worth of drink and I'm still sipping it on the way home. You really get your money's worth and more here!“
“my husband and i love this place! we go there pretty often when we have a hankering for texmex. though parking can be a pain, service is always friendly. we’ve had ok meals and great meals but never a bad meal. GREAT FOR DATE NIGHT!Parking: parking lot same as for suburban square with a short walk or street parking. make sure to pay for street parking.“
“We love this place. We order food from here nearly every week and it’s consistently delicious. We also appreciate that we can sit outside when the weather is nice.Vegetarian options: They can very easily leave dairy out of their dishes to make them vegan. You just Have to double check you dish because sometimes they will forget and accidentally include cheese or sour cream, but they always take care of it if that happens.“
“I'm the original owner of pepperoni's pizza now I have a passion of trying to find the best pizza I'm gonna give 5 stars to mexipizza best thin and crispy fresh dough best sauce a little sweet taste great cheese now you can get different type toppings all the ones we know now carnita topping and al pastor talk about bringing it up a couple notches wow it's just great I never give 5 stars this is it. Also if they start selling sweet fruit aqua d frescos every construction worker would be loving this place for lunch“
“Best Tacos In Pennsylvania, and I've had many many tacos in Pennsylvania.Worth driving out of your way for. DID I NOT SAY IT WAS THE BEST TACO IN THE ENTIRE KEYSTONE STATE!!!!!A popular local spot for breakfast through dinnerThe food is unbelievable. I get the Tacos Cabeza ,BIRRIA ON WEEKENDS!Try this place and you'll come back“
“amazing pizza! soft crust, generous toppings, (American favorites & unique Mexican toppings too)! and courteous service: )wonderful pizza! Soft bread, they put a lot on top (American favorites and pizza with roast beef, al pastor too!) and very courteous service: )“
“I was there yesterday and got 2 gringo tacos with steak & sour cream. I think I was overcharged, as the menu price was $8 and my total came to $12.19. I understand that there would be tax and an upcharge for the sour cream (which I never got) but $4+ more than advertised seems like a lot. Other than that, the service was friendly and the food was great.“
“2024-Feb - the location has moved. Not far. Just be aware the name should not be “El Limon Ardmore”, it should be “El Limon - Rittenhouse “Still awesome.One of the most authentic spots in the Philly Suburb area. Their no-nonsense, no flash approach to Mexican food keeps us coming back time and time again.They have expanded beyond their original Conshy location to Ardmore, Bryn Mawr, Berwyn and beyond.Top notch, home style Mex.Fantastic Mole sauce on their wet burritos. ?“
“Our server was so kind and patient! We each mixed and matched three pupusas and they were all SO good! The server explained Loroco flower to me and I enjoyed trying something new. I'm so excited to go back and try more flavors and some of their other dishes!“
“The food was delicious. fantastic location. Plenty of free parking. I recommend the burrito loco; Frida Kahlo inspired. I will definitely make a stop every time I travel to Philadelphia or King of Prussia.The food was delicious. fantastic location. Plenty of free parking. I recommend the crazy burrito; Inspired by Frida Kahlo. I will definitely make a stop every time I travel to Philadelphia or King of Prussia.“
“We were visiting out of town for a sport competition and needed somewhere close to grab lunch with a big group. Nataly's went ABOVE and BEYOND expectations. Be aware, it is a total dive (barely functional AC, tables from the 80's, etc.) but the food is wonderful. The Enchiladas Verdes were absolutely delectable and did not hold back on the spice. The wait staff had limited English but was more than attentive. You have to stop here if you're in North-West Philly.“
“We came from Reading PA, before going to IKEA, we found this restaurant. I love all. From the service to the atmosphere. The food came out fast and so YUMMY. My children loved pizza. My husband loved the cake and I loved the grilled chicken. Excellent! We will be “
“I love El Limon, they have some of the best Mexican food. Frequently go to the Skippack and Limerick locations. First time at Wayne and was not that impressed. Went there on a Tuesday for lunch and all three of us got a different burrito. All of them seemed like they were made with leftovers. The rice was hard like it had been sitting around and the beef / chicken seemed like it was reheated. Not what I'm used to from the other El Limon locations. I'm hoping it was just an off day for them and will give them another shot.“
“La comida es deliciosa, tienen un sazón muy Mexicano, los platillos se ven exquisitos. Si eres de buen comer te lo recomiendo, las porciones están muy bien servidas. 100% recomendado! El día hoy tocó Pollo a la plancha y Costillas a las brasas“
“When a stormy Taco Tuesday is also your BIRTHDAY, how else to celebrate than by trying a new local spot!Such a great little gem in Drexel Hill. Colorful and flavorful would be how I describe the decor and the food.What I ate:Tacos De Asada (3) - Grilled steak, Cilantro, Radish, Cooked Scallion, & Salsa (the brown salsa is indescribably delicious. It has a smoky, spicy flare)I usually eat steak medium and didn't ask for it to be prepared that way, so it was well done and not to my liking. However, it was very tasty.Al Pastor Buritto - Spicy Marinated Pork w/Pineapple, Flour Tortilla, Lettuce, Pico de Gallo, Refried Beans, Rice, Sour Cream & Cheese.I'm smiling as I write this because this was the highlight! I was instantly punched in the taste buds, in a fantastic way lol.I texted a friend that lives in Drexel Hill while I was eating and said if he hadn't been to El Buen Sazon he had to go. Not only does he order from them once a month, he said he told me about them awhile ago. Lol I guess things truly happen when they're supposed to.Great service, great food, BYOB, street parking out front and there's a parking lot entrance on the block.I highly recommend you visit!!!“
“I always get the adobo chicken salad. Last time they gave me the sugar chicken and upcharged me for it but corrected my order ... not the upcharge... which was fine because they were busy. The salad used to be the perfect balance of ingredients but now they have downsized the bowl which throws everything off. I tried to compensate by asking for smaller amount of toppings but the spoons are the same size so i ended up with a soggy mess and very little lettuce. They need to shrink the meat and topping spoons too so it balances. The restaurant itself has been recently remodeled and looks nice.“
“Favorite Mexican spot in Bridgeport!!! Food is alwaysssss fresh and cook at the moment. There quesadillas are handmade. It’s not them store tortillas. They have tables and chairs where you can just eat and watch Spanish novels and enjoy your meals. My favorite food is there quesadilla de papa con todo y frijoles! Potato quesadilla with everything plus beans. It’s the BEST!!!“
“I was visiting the Philadelphia area this past weekend, and I was hungry for a cheese steak. I had heard all about Gino's and Pat's, plus cheesesteaks in general within the Philly area, and I just had to have one. I went to Candelario's in the late afternoon. I was one of 2 people in the restaurant, and I ordered a slice of sausage pizza, and a cheese steak sub. Fantastic.I had my slice cold, as I heated up in my motel room, and it was terrific. My cheese steak was to die for. It was the best cheese steak that I have had in over 30 plus years. (I grew up in the Boston Area, and they were good, but this one was fantastic). If I get back to Philadelphia area, I will most definitely seek this place out, as the food I ordered was wonderful.Keep up the great work.“
“Our trip here was a bit last minute, but the employees were very accomodating regardless. Food wasnt bad, it tasted fine, could have used some more spice, maybe a pinch more salt. Prices seemed a bit high, but I will say the pupusas were awesome! Only $2.50 each! Basically tasty cheesy pancakes, the bean and cheese ones were my favorite.“
“I have been coming here since the day they opened this place it has gotten a lot better the food is good and the tortas alone are really big my sone and daughter love to stop by this place every time we go visit friends that is our number one stop. I do recommend anyone to give this place a try.Parking: They do have a small parking lot but I wish the ppl parking would park the right way, a lot of their clients don’t know how to park, so I do wish they could be a little more strict and put signs out regarding the parking area. Other than that a great place to go.“
“We came here for the first time this weekend and were pleasantly surprised. We got 2 quesidillas, a burrito, and the chips and cheese sauce. The cheese sauce was my favorite hands down. The pico mostly just tasted like tomatoes vs pico so that was my only complaint from a food standpoint. Otherwise, Drew was so awesome. Kept checking in on us and created a very welcoming atmosphere. We'll definitely be coming back.“
“I could rave about the food and drinks here all day, every day. My friend and I ordered the Plato Mixto to share and I had the Mahi Mahi tacos for my entree. Soooo good. We sat at the bar with Silvia, the bartender, and she made the BEST mango habanero margarita. Ambiance is great and staff is lovely.“
“Went here for food on by boyfriends birthday (he has an allergy to garlic which is in most seasonings) and the chef helped us find something to accommodate him. Super friendly staff, really good food. Even had reran our order when they saw it was charged in a way that had cost us more. Felt like everyone was going above and beyond.“
“Got delivery from here today. Food was delicious. Everything was flavorful/seasoned. I ordered the Shrimp Enchiladas, guacamole & chips and Churros. First time having enchiladas, it was amazing. Guacamole was some of the best I’ve ever tasted. Churros are my favorite that I’ve only had in Mexico and their Churros were soooo good.“
“I thoroughly enjoyed my dining experience here. The hostess was hospitality personified. More importantly, the food was delicious. I got their special signature tacos, which were actually fired taquitos, not what I was expecting but a very nice surprise nonetheless. Steak taco was also pretty good.“
“We have been dining at this establishment for over 7 years. The quality of food has diminished greatly the past year. The wait staff barely speaks English and does not understand when you place an order. Two days ago four of went for dinner. We all order separate meals and wound up with upset stomachs, vomitting and discharge. No coincidence due to poor quality of food.“
“Street parking is limited.The servers are friendly.It really depends on who is cooking.But for the most part, as long as the normal chef is in, the food is very good.When I'm craving authentic Mexican food, I ignore the chains and come here.Your taste buds and stomach will thank you.Oh. If there is ONE MUST you have to try, it's their Quesadillas...The BEST anywhere!Also love their Taco Salad~“
“Love this joint! Food is always served fast and delicious! Had a large party of 17 and the service and food didn’t skip a beat! Can’t tell you much about the menu because I always get the Mas Chingon burrito(❤️?)!! Can’t wait to go back!!“
