About South Philly Barbacoa

South Philly Barbacoa is a restaurant known for its delicious food and friendly staff. The Pineapple Raisin Tamale is a must-try, and the Barbacoa tacos, available in lamb and pork, are popular choices. While the lamb can be slightly dry, the pork is described as fantastic. The tacos can be ordered to go, but it’s best to eat them quickly for the best taste. The restaurant recently moved to a new location and offers a mix of meats that can feed three people. A slice of cake may be given as a surprise for birthdays. Many customers say the quality and authenticity are unmatched, with some mentioning that the pancita and consomé are especially incredible. Staff is friendly and accommodating, and it’s possible to pay with a card using their new computerized menu. Although traditional table service is missed—since the front is busy with take-away orders—the food remains outstanding. Overall, South Philly Barbacoa provides an authentic taste of Mexico in South Philly and is definitely worth a visit.

It’s such a treat to find such a rare gem of original Mexican barbacoa in Philly of all places!
allez-y car cette femme, la patronne s'est battu à un point, où elle mériterait que le monde entier passe voir et goûter les meilleures barbacoa!!! , son amour pour son pays le Mexique qu'elle devait quitter a contre coeur, ses galères et aussi pr le combat pr sa fille,qu'elle n'a pas oublié en l'a laissant au Mexique pr aller gagner de l'argent pr avoir une meilleure vie! elle 'a tout de même pas fait baisser les bras malgré tout! BRAVO!!!! ça se ressent dans sa cuisine!
Awesome place to stop by for a bite if you are in Philly. The margaritas were excellent, everyone was nice and friendly. The tacos are authentic and delicious. I added the Jamaica and esquite which were also delicious. I recommend and will visit again next time I’m in the area.
