19 Best Taco Restaurants in Philadelphia

“1st time there and can’t wait to go back! Great atmosphere, customer service and outstanding food! Loved the variety and unique tacos. Highly recommend. 👍🏻“

“This food is amazing. HAND MADE TORTILLAS which I have never seen in a Philly taqueria before! We ordered one jamaica glass and they gave us a huge jug to share AND two extra cups to take out. The inside is pretty small & no frills, but the food is ABSOLUTELY worth it! I speak Spanish and the lady serving us was the owner, she mentioned they are struggling to stay open. Go support their business!“

“Love love love me some burrito and tacos from Prima! My favorite spot any given night when I’m hungry! Even my toddler is in love and fights us for the food lol- the space next door is awesome even got a high chair in there. People here truly work hard and I love to come support them!“

“My husband is a lifelong Texan and we recently moved to Philly from Austin and have been searching for good breakfast tacos to no avail, until we found Taco Heart. He loves the Troubadour and the Carrine’s Fave. They have excellent options for me as a vegetarian, too. The migas…chefs kiss! And we love the brrrchata.

But the real thing that makes them taste like home is the green jalepeno sauce. It’s impossible to find. But they make it perfectly!!“

“Recently tried DOHO when when trying to order tacos from our usual places on Cinco de Mayo but the kids didn't want to wait 2+ hours and couldn't have been more impressed with this new hidden gem in Mt. Airy. Creative dishes and everything we ordered was delicious. Only tried about half the options between our family of 5 so definitely need to order again soon!“

“This is one of the best Mexican food trucks I’ve been to in Philly, without a doubt. Pollo and steak tacos are A+, and need nothing other than diced onion, cilantro, their perfectly fried onions, and salsa. The chicken tinga burrito is loaded with flavor, filled with plenty of tender, spicy chicken tinga, and not bogged down by too much rice, etc., so it’s well-balanced.

Mango agua was light and refreshing, and not too sweet. Their salsas are good and fresh, but at least one could be spicier. A little surprising, as the tinga is spicier than others I’ve had!

The main reason I’m docking one star is because the campechano quesadilla, although flavorful, had way, way too much grease drenching the quesadilla and the inside of the container it came in. The campechano would’ve absolutely worked better as a burrito, and could have been a better quesadilla if they’d drained some of the grease.

I’ve been just a few times, and may up my stars after I’ve tried more of the menu. I’m craving their burrito at this very moment, and will be back again very soon!“

“Delicious healthy Mexican food options! Very clean clearly well loved restaurant. Vegetarian, friendly: Walnut, sweet potato, veg options for tacos, burritos etc. My husband had the chilequiles and I had the sweet potato burrito, both amazing. Fast, friendly service. Huge portion sizes!“

“Tacos Don Memo serves hands down “the best” Mexican food I’ve had—no question about it! Coming from a family with roots in central Mexico, I can confidently say their tacos instantly transported me back to the streets of Mexico, sitting next to my dad, savoring every bite. It felt like home—comforting, authentic, and absolutely delicious.

Even though I live in Hainesport, NJ, I never hesitate to make the trip for their food. Distance is no obstacle when the reward is this good! I even convinced my husband to come with me to their food truck, and we both ordered the al pastor tacos with their spiciest salsa and an ice-cold bottled Coke. Let me tell you—it was *amazing*. Flavor-packed, satisfying, and completely worth it. Tacos Don Memo never disappoints!

I highly recommend them to anyone craving genuine, flavorful Mexican cuisine. The food is phenomenal, the team is incredibly friendly, and while prices may be slightly higher than some, the generous portions and quality ingredients make it more than worth it. Support local and treat yourself to something truly special—you won't regret it!“

“Excellent customer service“

“Dos Hermanos Tacos catered our wedding and we could not have been happier with them. The communication before hand was on point and they left nothing up to chance. Set up on wedding day was perfect and the food was delicious.“

“Can't believe how good the food was, keep up the good work guys!“

“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.“

“Excellent food and service in two locations in Philly. Great value.“

“The food is great . They by far make the best tacos in the area. I especially love the chorizo and beef tongue tacos. My only gripe is that the lady who takes your order will over charge you. So make sure your getting the food your paying for. At first I thought I was tripping when I noticed that she charged me more for the same amount and kind of tacos i normally order than what the other guys charged me. I said something about it today and she said she had added one more taco to my order because she misheard me. (they dont give you the extra taco they charged you for). I would have been understanding had this been the first time but it was not. They did refund me for the extra taco when i said something about it. I have also heard other customers make the same complaint as me while waiting for my order. As a guy who spends most of his day working I am often too tired to double check my order and I have missed it a few times in the past . Its not right. I just want an easy meal at the end of my day without being ripped off. The tacos are great though i highly recommend the food“

“This is a new restaurant so if you’re looking for a place with less crowds but still equally good food, and want to support a budding restaurant; definitely come here! We got Birria tacos, and then 1 lengua, tripa, and lamb. They bring chips to the table too, the portion sizes are very generous, there was enough meat on one taco for 3 tacos at another place!“

“This is honestly the best birria taco I’ve ever eaten. Also tried the ramen and wow Best quality and the overall package I a lot of care goes into your order it is of high quality in and through . Try it 3 birria tacos 15$“

“I don't understand how this place is not crowded. The food is crazy amazing. I can see it being prepared as I wait. The consume' for the birra tacos is super rich and flavourful. This is my new obsession.“

“Food is excellent , ingredients & flavor superb. The Owner is truly a sweetheart .. great vibes…curbside service also…“
