46 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. 👍🏻“

“Foodie Alert: Go!!

Excellent!! Fresh, deeply flavored sauces. Vibrant flavors, and an outstanding sourdough tortilla. Don't forget, it's BYOB, and they have really good juices and mixes ready for your tequila or favorite spirit. A true gem in the competitive South Philly Mexican Cuisine scene.“

“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!“

“I absolutely love Taco Heart! Having lived in Austin for many years, I often crave authentic breakfast tacos and jalapeño crema salsa, both of which can be hard to find. Taco Heart is my GoTo spot now that I live in Philadelphia. The food and drinks, the vibe, the music, and the location are all exactly right.

One recent Saturday, Nano even let us stay in the restaurant well past closing time while a strong storm blew through. We got to sit inside, warm and dry, and watch the torrential wind and rain and eat his delicious food. It was amazing.

Can't say enough good things about Taco Heart!!!!“

“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!“

“Consistently my favourite place to get tacos in the city - honestly much better in almost every way than the more famous and popular place down the street (iykyk) La Prima is a no frills, no nonsense joint but the food is just fantastic. I especially recommend the Lengua (beef tongue). Just two days ago when I went I was treated to the most amazing, romantic Mariachi band outside its steps as well, perfectly complementing the food. I felt like I was transported to Mexico if only for a moment.“

“Excellent customer service“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 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!“

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

“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! 💯“

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

“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…“

“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!“

“You say you wanna revolution tacoooooooo. Honesty, this place is just OK. I must admit I had a burrito, not a taco, so maybe take my opinion with a grain of salt. But mannnnn I didn’t really care for the burrito. My gf seems to like hers enough though. Friendly staff, clean place, good location.“

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

“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.“

“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“

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

“yummy ! amazing birria tacos“

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

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

“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.“

“I Was here on Monday and I had ordered 3 different types of tacos which were chicken , al pastor and pork. The al pastor was my favorite one and the suaces were really good especially the red one also they were 3 for only $12 dollars! I’ve gotten tacos for $21“

“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.“

“Sean And the crew are always on point“

“8/18/2026
This was my last stop for my first trip to the city so why not tacos something different. The shop is well lit and colorful easy to spot from the road. Service was good the staff were very friendly and filled me in on the menu. All the options looked good so I settled on the tacos and reached out of my comfort zone just a bit. The tacos come with corn tortillas which I never get and the Al pastor( pork with pineapples) and all the toppings they weren’t bad just drier than I expected. I also got the Jamaican drink which I would say is less sweeter than I’m used to it really lets you sit with the natural flavors. The dining area was super clean and spacious I really enjoyed the window high top seating to people watch and take in the views.“

“This food is indescribable. I mean the menu options are amazing. Consistency always on point. The staff i wish they could b cloned they are absolutely skilled at what they do. Cleanliness every time you walk in it’s like you’re walking into a brand new restaurant absolutely clean. Spotless Just absolute cleanliness.
Black owned n family operated Business. WE HAVE TO SUPPORT OUR OWN PPL.“

“Great lunch spot after Franklin Institute“

“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.“

“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.“

“Found this place on here when we were randomly near the area. So glad we did! The vegan selection is awesome. Vegan proteins include vegan chorizo, vegan chickn, and black beans. They also have vegan queso, shredded vegan cheese, and vegan sour cream. One of the employees also told me to try the roasted potatoes next time. All 3 of us got nachos (smaller size). The portion size was huge, and a great value for the price. Everything had great flavour. I don’t think I’ve ever had vegan queso that good. On top of all that, the mission of this place is great, and everyone working there was really nice. We will definitely be going out of our way to come from Jersey to eat here again.

“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 recommend that smoking should be put under control.“

“I had a fantastic time at Barcade, and it was one of the most fun places I visited in Philadelphia. The combination of classic arcade games and a relaxed bar atmosphere made for a great night out. I spent a couple of hours playing vintage games like Pac-Man and pinball while enjoying a burger and fries. The food was surprisingly good, and the arcade games brought back a lot of great memories.

The staff was friendly, helpful, and kept everything running smoothly throughout the evening. The only small downside was that a few of the most popular games were occupied most of the time, so I had to wait a bit for my turn. Luckily, there were plenty of other games to enjoy in the meantime.

My tip for first-time visitors is to bring a few friends and try as many different arcade games as possible. If you want to avoid the biggest crowds, visiting on a weekday or earlier in the evening is a smart choice.

Overall, I had an excellent experience. Thank you to the entire team at Barcade for the great food, fun atmosphere, and friendly service. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Philadelphia.“

“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.“

“I always have to go here because I do delivery and their doors are always closed and sometimes kind of dirtyish, so this place is a hit or miss. But the last two times that I went the order was accurate and the people were friendly. The parking lot is awful but it's probably not there fault. Thank“

“This Taco Bell is located on Broad and Wycoming. It is opened 24 hours although the lobby is only opened between 10Aam to 6PM.

It has very limited seating with only two tables available for dining in. The service is nice and employees seem focused on their customers.

Good was great and had good portions and appearance. The only downside is the limited hours of their lobby and the availability of seats.“
