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.

This place is hands down amazing! I’ve tried multiple of the food on the menu, It’s always exactly what i’m expecting. Service is amazing the people on the counter are super nice! I go there once a week if not twice I love this place!I highly recommend the al pastor tacos and the churros AND the quesadillas ?
