You must go if you’re in Philly. The barbacoa tacos, salsas, tortillas, and nopalitos are perfect.

Shared a birthday lunch with my son and was surprised when a slice of cake was delivered to our table.It was a complete surprise as the owner was never informed it was my son's birthday ?.Will definitely return for the delicious food and wonderful staff/chef!
They moved next door, the owner said their corner place lease had expired. Fantastic barbacoa tacos. Get the mix of the two meats, 0.5 kilos can feed three, order more tortillas if needed.

202312I was excited to eat after watching the Netflix show. I heard that there would be a long queue, but when we arrived at almost 11 o'clock on Saturday morning, there were plenty of seats! The taco is delicious and the mutton soup is very tender. It's a bit like Taiwan's braised mutton soup. I added a piece of cornbread when I checked out (watch the Netflix episode and they said that the corn used in the store was smuggled back from Mexico and grown, so it's super delicious) The result was the most amazing thing of the day! Super fragrant and delicious! I don’t like cornbread at all, but as I write this review three months later, I still want to eat another piece!I think the juice is too sweet. I probably won’t order it next time.

Simple dish and tiny menu. Overall worth a stop but the Barbacoa was definitely a little dry by our standards.
Cash only awareness! This place was very tasty. Glad to have added it to our Philly trip.

Authentic - Delicious - Must TRYSave your cheesesteak experience for another day and go to South Philly Barbacoa IMMEDIATELY!!!!This place is the best dining experience in Philadelphia. Bar none.Enjoy 10/10
I recommend the pancita over the barbacoa. When I had it, the barbacoa was a bit bland and dry, a polar opposite of the pancita. The sweet tamale is a bit dry but joyful, like a good cornbread.
