43 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. 👍🏻“

“Imagine your best local authentic Mexican restaurant but elevate its atmosphere and execution. The tortillas are literally some of the best I have had, so soft and chewy with dimples of char. The proteins are marinated and grilled, with simple but bold flavors expressed in the lingering colors of the sauces. The Remolacha was the sleeper dish. The paste of nuts under the golden beats were a refreshing new type of dish I'd never seen in this type of cuisine. One caveat, the small room makes it quit loud so be prepared to do a little shouting.“

“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!“

“one of the best late night, high quality tacos in philly

as soon as we rolled up, we knew it was gonna be good. we went on a friday night at 11pm and there was a HUGE line up to the door.

food:
+ tacos (4 for $17) al pastor - 4/5, great meat flavor, too much tortilla vs meat, felt dry, even after drenching it in sauce.
+ horchata ($7) - 1/5, tasted like a fall spice-and vanilla scented candle

al pastor flavor was amazing. deep, smokey and delicious. the flour taco was mid, felt a bit dry and made me want to reach for a drink. they double bagged the meat — e.g. they use two soft tortillas per taco so the ratio of wrap to taco is like 2:1. it makes it seem like the tacos are less stuffed. I understand why they double bag it though, it was messy and wet!

we do not recommend the horchata though haha

service: the late night staff was great. the music was popping!

atmosphere: it’s great! it’s actually two diffferent places and we ordered from the storefront“

“Excellent customer service“

“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!“

“Best birria I've ever had!
It comes piping hot with melty cheese and stuffed with beef. The consomme is flavorful with bits of carrot, onion, and herbs, and isn't overly salty. Plus you get grilled onions, a spicy pepper, crunchy cucumbers and radishes, and super tasty salsas. They do not skimp out here.
Plus the people working the truck are super friendly and smiley. This place is a gem!“

“We love the varieties of food wonder provided to us, and we like how constantly we get extra coupons from wonder to get deals. From food ordering to pick up, wonder preparation service is great! As a regular customer, we are happy to continue food services pick up from wonder at the South Philly location.“

“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!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

If you’re in Philly and haven’t stopped by Don memos truck yet, you’re seriously missing out. This food truck hands down has some of the best tacos and burritos we’ve ever had. Every bite was packed with flavor fresh, juicy, perfectly seasoned, just amazing.

What made it even better was the people. They were super humble, welcoming, and genuinely kind, which made the whole experience feel even more special.

We’re 100% coming back. I haven’t had tacos this good in a long time Don memos is officially a must-stop every time we’re in Philadelphia.“

“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! 💯“

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

“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“

“yummy ! amazing birria tacos“

“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.🙌🏻🙌🏻“

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

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

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

“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!“

“All there food is delicious and they are very clean. Been going there for years now and many to come. Yes there a bodega aka corner store but a awesome one. Oh there video game machines are great, u actually win and they pay out w no problems.“

“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!“

“Hard to know when this guy will actually be open but when he is, ohhhh man is it amazing. Most authentic tacos I think you can probably find in philly. Oh and it's a taco truck! The picture of the restaurant is deceptive. You can eat in the park nearby or do take away. No indoor seating.“

“Sean And the crew are always on point“

“los tacos y la quesabirri“

“After going vegan, I really missed Jackass Burritos with the queso and sour cream and shredded cheese and Spanish rice deliciousness that hits the spot when you’re THAT hungry. This place does all that totally vegan. I am in heaven that it exists not too far from me.“

“I love this place. Fast friendly service, delicious food“

“I finally made it in! This spot did not disappoint. High quality taste, ample serving size (i can eat it in 3 servings) and a great cooking team, for the cost. I ordered the seafood salad and a scampi shrimp bowl. There is a wait as the food is cooked while you are there. Great job guys!“

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

“A fun event. Good food on sale. Good drink variety on sale. The garden was lovely and tucked under a rail line. Parking wasn't terrible (for Manayunk). The event was well run: lots of give aways, activities and all in a cute location.“

“Tacodelphia never misses! Every time I come in I’m met with the best energy- it genuinely feels like a neighborhood spot that actually cares about the people walking through the door. The service is quick without ever feeling rushed, and the food? One of my absolute favorite spots in all of Philly, no contest.

Huge shoutout to Fatima & Jose for always bringing their friendly energy and making every visit feel like a warm welcome.

I highly recommend to everyone from anywhere!“

“Great lunch spot after Franklin Institute“

“Simply outstanding steak burrito. Ate half and realized I had to take a photo and leave a review. Probably the 10th steak burrito I’ve had from these guys. It’s always a 10/10. Today’s exceptionally good. I got one for my wife too and almost ate half of hers , but I thought better of it. I hope the truck on Oregon Ave never leaves.“

“My family loved the food. We ordered four pupusas with beans and cheese, four more of those with cheese and loroco, guacamole, and maduros. The generous portions made it enough for two adults and two little kids, and we had leftovers too! My only complaint is that they only have their stuffed plantains available in the morning.“

“I recommend that smoking should be put under control.“

“I will never throw out this delivery menu. I have ordered from here about ten + times - and we are always amazed how great everything is.“

“I love taking people to the OG Barcade. It can get a little busy and you may need to wait for a beer when they are but getting to play old arcade games with friends again makes a short wait worth it. This place has character that is hard to find in shiny new venues. The food is pretty good but more snacks than full meals, which is perfect for a hang out place.“

“Deeeeelicious! I had fried whiting on potato bread and mac & cheese. It was alot of food. I couldn't even eat my Mac & cheese until the next morning! Then I went back and got more for lunch. I was in town visiting from Pittsburgh and glad I went off the beaten path. Oh yea. Awesome lemonade too!“

“They have the best pizza!!!“

“Good location and friendly staff. Amazing pizza and great food they have very good service.“
