Went in hoping for a burrito after glancing at some reviews but found none on the menu. It is mostly sandwiches, cemitas and platters.After ordering mixed fajitas I was delivered two ramekins, one of salsa, the other of queso (?), and a small basket of chips. The salsa had some spice to it but wasn't too much to handle. The queso was good though it reminded me more of a spicy mayo. The chips had a nice thickness and were very crunchy.The mixed fajitas were a decently sized plate of meats and peppers, along with refried beans and rice, and a handful of tortillas. From the dining room you can see the cook making your food so you know everything is hot and fresh. The meats were well seasoned but not overly so. The tortillas were just ok - seemed like warmed average grocery tortillas - a real shame given the great tortilla options nearby.Service was nice, attentive but not over bearing. The atmosphere was lacking - loud TVs, small, out dated dining room, cluttered decorations.

I love this place, The tacos are to die for literally!! Everything is cooked perfectly, and the ingredients are fresh. I recommend basically everything from the menu. Also, the main waitress is a sweetheart.

I mean if you have an issue with your order you can't even call to discuss it. No one understands English.

Small corner mom and pop Mexican eatery with amazing Mexican food and good prices. About a block or so from Broad street in the neighborhood.I had chilaquiles with green salsa and horchata. You can order for take out or eat at one of the couple of tables.

This little hole in the wall place is a MUST TRY - specifically if you're looking for good nachos that are ooey gooey and topped with steak that you'd kill for (follow @phillynachoes on IG for more). The food is authentic and you get so many salsas to choose from! And not to mention chips and salsa while you wait. Don't let the location stop you from going in.

Great Mexican food. Huge menu. The look from the outside does not do the food justice, food is incredible. Recommend the burrito and side of chipotle sauce.

My dad called for order to pickup, when i got there the girl said they don’t have his order, then she looked and found the paper they wrote his order, told me to wait 26mins, i asked why my dad already called a while ago, but I’m still ok with that, i told the girl can you bring the food to my car, i have no parking, my car just right there the white car, she said yes, waited like 40mis, see people walk in and out, can’t wait anymore and called them, she told me to go in and pick it up, then why you said ok to bring it to the car! I went in and asked you said you would bring the food to my car! She said nothing, not a word sorry, brought the food to the window and walked away to the back. Like really?! Worse service ever!!
