Really just stellar on all counts. Best Mexican food I’ve had in Philly. Love el taco. The recently added soups and corn pie are so so delicious I would eat here every day if I could but my wife and I limit ourselves to once a twice or month. Usually twice. Or thrice if I’m being honest. And we can usually stretch it into three meals, the portions are well worth the price. El taco sponsor us? We tell everyone we know how good this place is like.. just go and try whatever...

The soy chorizo is great, It's soft and flavorful. The cilantro sauce is really good too. The scorpion sauce is as spicy as they claim it to be, i underestimated it.

Didnt like the carne asada. The chicken tinga tastes good but is chewy.
I didnt like the creamy jalapeño sauce.

Prices are fair and food quality is good.

First time visit and I'm in love. Haven't had a taco salad since I was a kid and it didn't disappoint. Don't get me started on the Mexican Street Corn....corn tasted like it came straight out the cirn field. I'm definitely going back.
