You can definitely tell they put love into their food and pride themselves on great presentation. BYOB with great mixers and smoothies. The service was very attentive and friendly. Very cozy inviting atmosphere. Can't wait to go back!!“

“We randomly found this place while visiting Philly and it was SO good! I got guacamole (it was GOOD and FRESH and NOT brown) I also got a steak tostada and a steak taco - the salsas are sooooo good the red one is spicy but me likely spicy so thumbs up. My friend got a veggie burrito and it was so good for her she threw it down in pure excitement! Also super support their lack of coke products <3.“

“We had a few different things off the menu and shared. Everything was amazing. All of the ingredients were fresh, the servers had great recommendations, and the service was prompt. We will definitely be back in the warmer months to enjoy the outdoor seating.“

“Amazing restaurant! The birria tacos were incredibly flavorful and perfectly seasoned, and the salsa they bring to the table is outstanding, easily the best birria tacos I’ve ever had.
The service was wonderful and very attentive, and the atmosphere is nice and chic without being loud, so you can actually enjoy conversation with your guest. Seating can be a bit tight in some areas, but it’s ideal for parties of 2–4, or you can sit at the long bar for more space.
Also, it’s BYOB, so if you want a great drink with your meal, be sure to bring it with you.“

“I find it an awesome place to sit outside with great drinks and a great happy hour especially the nachos just wish they added chorizo on the nacho’s for happy hour. Nice to relax here last night was the Phillies game and it was great👍“

“If I was on death row and only had one meal, La Cathedral's Al Pastor Torta is the one I would get for my measly life. The bread is so delicious and soft, the flavors are addicting it could add 5 pounds to anyone in a 2 mile radius.
I love food and this is always my first suggestion to anyone who wants to eat good food in Philly.
The service is always so friendly and attentive. I would give up a part of my soul to figure out what's on this sandwitch oh my God.“

“This is my new favorite spot in old city! Everything is so good… from the burritos (both breakfast and lunch/dinner), matcha (with the horchata!) and tacos!! The customer service is a 10/10 as well. I get something at least once a week since it’s right around the corner. I’ve done takeout and dine in - the quality is the same for each. Well priced too! Highly highly recommend!!“

“Stumbled across this spot on DoorDash and decided to drive to it since it was 5 minutes away from my house. These were some of the best tacos I ever tasted. Them shrimp tacos are AMAZING!!! The guy and girl in there was very nice and displayed great customer service. Give this place a try, you won’t regret it. Also get the supreme shrimp tacos!!“

“I stopped into this spot after Joel, the owner, had posted it out on another platform. The street tacos were deliciously messy. There was such a great portion of meat on each taco I was only able to eat 3 of 4. The ability to customize my taco was wonderful! Ask for extra napkins + limes. I will be returning often here for sure. Plus, they cater! And there are even delivery options. Great local, neighborhood spot! 5 out of 5!“

“Delicious and beautifully presented, authentic Mexican food! The Carne Asada torta was a portion enough for two, with the most tender, juicy steak, fresh and aromatic toppings sandwiched between toasted telera. The Jamaica fresca had vibrant flavors me and my partner loved. The El Pastor Burrito was full of aromatic spices, incredibly flavorful all at a great portion. Can't recommend this gem enough.“

“Our waitress Yesenia was great! Everything was delicious. The meats were delicious and cooked to the perfect temperature. The shrimp broth was phenomenal. And for dessert, the tres leches cake was the best. I would leave 10/5 stars if I could. Thank you very much, Tamalex!“

“Sweet heavenly home. This place is legit.
I grew up 30 miles from the border and I haven’t had Mexican food this authentic in maybe two decades.
By the end of my meal there were six different sauces on my table, and I wanted to drink one of them with a straw.
Get ANYTHING with the mole sauce and thank me later.“

“My friend and I came here for a quick lunch on a Sunday. No crowd, just a few people. It was definitely a divey kind of place because it was really dark in the space. We had to find a table near a light to see! We shared the guacamole which was delicious and addicting. I got the mahi mahi tacos and those might be the best Mahi tacos I’ve had in a while. So flavorful and they looked beautiful. I’d definitely go back to try some of their other dishes!“

“We came here for the gluten free churros as we have never found any anywhere else, figured this could be a once in a lifetime find. It was happy hour so we had drinks and tacos too! Loved the beef barbacoa toco. This restaurant is 100% gluten free so no chance of cross contamination. Staff is very friendly in this light and airy establishment.“
