I ordered some tamales for Christmas and they were absolutely incredible. I don't make it down to South Philly much since I live and work in two other parts of the city, but I think I'm going to have to start coming up with excuses to make it down this way more often.

I’m a vegetarian, so I was excited to try the vegan birria tacos, but was a little disappointed when I realized they were just filled with chickpeas and black beans. I was hoping maybe it would be served with vegan “beef” or seitan to give the tacos a meatier texture. Flavors were delicious nonetheless. It just felt like the $18 price point for bean tacos was a bit overpriced.

Birria tacos all everywhere these days, but few authentic spots offer a vegan option. Juana Tamale not only has them, but they are amazing, so glad to live so close!

I recently tried the vegan birria sweet potato tacos at Juana Tamale, and they were absolutely incredible! The sweet potato filling was perfectly seasoned, offering a delightful balance of sweetness and savory flavors that left me craving more.

The tortillas were fresh, providing the perfect vessel for the generous portions of filling. I loved how they were served with a side of rich consomé for dipping—it added an extra layer of depth and warmth to each bite.

The toppings of fresh onions and cilantro complemented the sweet potatoes beautifully, adding a nice crunch and brightness. The staff was friendly and enthusiastic, making my visit even more enjoyable.

If you're looking for a unique and delicious vegan taco experience, don't miss out on these sweet potato birria tacos at Juana Tamale. They’ve definitely earned a spot on my list of must-try dishes! And i own a vegan restaurant. Highly recommended! 🌮💚✨

The salsa Verde is TO DIE FOR.

I had thanksgiving dinner there... I met a few folks via Facebook. We didn't have plans for Thanksgiving so we met up for Juan's turkey dinner. They served 2 plates. 1 was the traditional Turkey plate (they could've put more food on the plate, sorry). The 2nd plate was Mexican food...

I ordered the traditional Turkey plate and ordered a chicken quesadilla. Kevin, was AWESOME. I've worked many Thanksgiving in my life... It sucks working on a holiday. I was a waitress for 20+ years... I hated working holidays, but here I am, going out to eat on a holiday. 🙄 Thank you, Kevin. You are a doll!!!

Kevin, I hope you enjoyed your night! You are awesome. Thank you for serving us lonely folks. We had a great time.

Again, the salsa Verde is to die for. It's made from scratch. The more I think about it, the more I want it. Do y'all sell it by the pint? The gallon??? 🤤😂 Thank you, Juan Tamales. I had a wonderful time.

The cutest restaurant with quality food! They have plenty of vegan options of things that I have never tried before because they are traditionally meat-based. The vegan birria was so good and the consume broth made the dish. The vegan wings and nachos were also great. This is definitely a local gem and you can tell they love their restaurant with the decor!
