Amazing authentic Mexican food and delightful service. We order the chicken tostadas almost every week and will never get enough - yum! Also, as the co-owner is Asian, they also make delicious chicken teriyaki, which cements this place as our go-to for everyone’s cravings.

This has been my go to taco place in philly for years. The owners are so kind and the quality of the food is also so high. The salsas are fresh, and the add ons for the tacos are delicious.

The atmosphere was amazing, it’s its own Mexican world in the heart of south Philly on a random corner. I loved it. If they have events, I’d like to visit again.
