27 Best Taco Restaurants in Philadelphia

“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!“

“Only 4 stars because we're in the realm of Michelin here. Crab tostadas & Atun Aguachile were really great, and a guant step beyond street taco fare. The Cemita Arrachera Tatemada Al Pastor was very enjoyable. The Cemita Cubano was LARGE, easily 2 meals for my 21 year old son. The shrimp tacos in squid ink tortillas were delicious, but the cheese dominated. They were really tasty, but don't expect it to be shrimp-forward. Worth a visit, and worth going to again.“

“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 place rocks. I’ve had tacos, a quesadilla, and a burrito from here—and they’ve all been excellent. It’s open late and such a fun vibe, with customers eating and hanging around outside. The staff, especially the middle-aged gentleman who takes orders, are very friendly and funny. Just keep in mind: there is no seating and it’s cash only. There is an ATM on site.“

“Not only is the food outstanding at Taco Heart, but so is their customer service. I recently ordered some of their tortillas online for pick up. When I arrived at the shop, they didn't have any ready for me to take home. The went above and beyond to make sure I got what I ordered and had them delivered, free of charge, to my home (miles away) later that day. It meant a lot to me, and has earned them a regular customer for life!“

“My wife and I eat a lot of tacos and ever since getting the tacos here, i compare all other tacos to El Amiguito, this place is the best! They are super friendly, delicious, and affordable. Really happy to have them as a part of the neighborhood community.“

“Good service from a food truck. The servers were friendly!

Carne asada was pretty decent seasoning, lots of meat, chopped small bite size. Not the most tender but has a bit of a chew. Classic with onions and cilantro.

Reminded me of a California taco at higher prices.“

“Excellent customer service“

“Third visit in a month. I ordered the torta milanesa each time. It is a mexican sandwich. My friend asked the torta al pastor twice, and the al pastor burrito once. He also went for the tamararind drink, which he enjoyed. I went for water and diet Coke.
It is a mom and pop place and worth a stop. Dining in is my favorite so it is served as intended with the correct parts still crispy or squishy as one expects. Reach this place by taking the T-4 or T-5 trolleys. Enano means a person who is not tall according to the owner. Friendly and efficient.“

“Friendly Staff Great Service Delicious food Ramen bowl, shrimp tacos, pan seared dumplings, spring rolls all were delicious 😋“

“My niece took me here for my birthday, and what a wonderful experience! The restaurant immediately felt warm, cozy, and inviting. Special shoutout to the staff, Sylo and Billy, who were so attentive and really looked out for us!

We ordered the lotus root salad, dry-aged beef in betel leaves, lemongrass chicken dumplings, curry duck gnocchi, and short rib. For drinks and dessert, we enjoyed the Golden Hour cocktail, pandan bread pudding, and house-made Vietnamese coffee and pandan fig ice creams. Everything was delicious!

Growing up in a Vietnamese household, I enjoyed many of these familiar dishes and flavors, but Carolyn has really elevated them to another level, turning traditional Vietnamese cuisine into a work of art while staying true to its roots.

Such a lovely dining experience from start to finish. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“I had an amazing experience at La Catratchita Taqueria! 🌮🔥 Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and made with care. The quesabirria with consommé was absolutely delicious—rich, juicy, and packed with authentic taste. The asada nachos were loaded and satisfying, and the buffalo wings were cooked perfectly with great flavor. Even the homemade fruit drinks were refreshing and on point! 🍹 On top of that, the service was friendly and fast, making the whole experience even better. You can tell they take pride in their food and customer experience. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to—and I highly recommend it to anyone craving great Mexican food! 💯“

“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!“

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

“I’ve been here three times so far and each experience has been a delight. BYOB too! I’ll be back!“

“Probably the best tacos I’ve had in the city, not surprised that it was tucked away in a parking lot in Olney.

Make sure to bring cash as they don’t accept cards, there is an ATM at the laundromat right next to the truck .“

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

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

“Best bar in Philly. Kyle and the entire staff have been nothing but good to us over the years. Drink specials are great. New taco menu is fantastic. Live music and DJ nights rule!“

“The food is amazing and they serve you in big portions. The water is fresh, sweet and savory. My personal favorite is the creamy horchata and the birria is delicious. Recommend coming here with an empty stomach because the food for sure fills you up.🙌🏻🙌🏻“

“los tacos y la quesabirri“

“Best tacos and service I’ve ever had!“

“Being a neighborhood pizza shop it was great. My husband and I got a cheese pizza and mild buffalo wings. We like our pizza a little crispy so we ordered well done and it was perfect. Good quality cheese (not salty) and fresh sauce. Definitely our new go-to for a plain cheese. Our Buffalo wings were a good size, but a little over cooked. The mild sauce threw us off. My husband thought it could've been old, but I didn't think it was old, they haven't mastered the flavor yet. We will be getting them dry with sauce on the side from now on. The Blue cheese saved the wings. Overall our new go-to for the neighborhood.

Parking: Extremely small parking lot. Okay for now, but once business picks up be prepared to park on the street.“

“yummy ! amazing birria tacos“

“I have been coming to Freddy & Tony's since i was born! As soon as you walk in they make you feel like your family. If you do not speak Spanish or know how to read Spanish that is not a problem here their menu is biligual, and so are the staff. This place is were I go to get a home style meal from the islands. My favorite is their sweet plantain, stewed chicken, arroz con gandules, and salad(***put oil and vinegar on it not salad dressing it cuts the fat from the food you're eating to refresh you pallet). They have tons of options to choose from too, just know that if you going here on a Saturday or Sunday be ready for a crowd because this is THE best place to go for Puerto Rican food in Philly!“
