50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Prospect Park

“Very tasty food, very authentic cuisine, and a very authentic interior designed with hot pink walls, embedded sombrero decor, Spanish artwork, and Spanish music always playing. It’s refreshing to see an authentic Spanish place in such a small area and so close to my location. Also, they prepare fresh juices such as watermelon juice, cantaloupe juice, horchata, and more!“

“Absolutely stellar place. It’s vibrant and colorful and the food is perfect. The plantains, chicken tinga tacos, and Cresta guacamole are three knockout dishes but most everything here is going to knock your brain to the back of your skull and have you speaking Spanish by the end of the meal.“

“Pleasantly surprised at the quality and flavor. I had the triple tacos. 1 each of birria, jerk chicken, and shrimp. On corn tortillas with fresh lime and cilantro. Excellent! Best food I’ve had in Chester.“

“After having Taco Taco, I will never return to Chipotle ever again. Taco Taco is so fast, they have the friendliest staff and seriously serve the best burritos in West Philly. This has become a staple to many of my Saturday nights and I cannot recommend Taco Taco enough to those in the area. I get the al pastor every time!“

“We went here for dinner before a show, we didn't have much time and wanted something quick. The food was great, much better than the big chains that do similar things, the service was quick, and the staff were very friendly. We had a quesadilla and a bowl, both were much better than I was expecting! Portion size is good. We will be back, thank you!“

“Great lunch spot after Franklin Institute“

“Si Taqueria in Philly is awesome! Their tacos are super tasty, with fresh ingredients that make every bite amazing. The marinated chicken and pork are out of this world—so juicy and flavorful. You can really taste the authentic Mexican influence in every dish. And the burrito? It's huge and stuffed with meat, rice and beans. You definitely won't leave hungry. Perfect spot for some yummy Mexican food!"“

“Drew is so sick and cool, he understood we had a long day of work and school, so he gave us a gift of free chips and queso as we were slaving away at our 12 page paper. love this place and will be back next monday! my only complaint is the lack of outlets to plug my computer into so I can enjoy my food and work on my degree simultaneously - so we should get on that!“

“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.“

“Great new byob spot in the neighborhood! Food was great and servers were super friendly. We had the pupusas, chili relleno, pambazo and churros. The portions for the main dishes are huge! The salsas with bread/chips as a starter were also delicious. Can't wait to go back and try the mexi pizza and the jalapeno fettuccini!“

“Made a return trip today and enjoyed the food even more than the first time. My friend had the loaded nachos which were mouth watering. We shared cheese quesadilla which were loaded and delicious. One pork tamale tasted so great we added a chicken tamale! I want to be adopted by the chef!!! Highly recommend a visit there. Plenty of free parking, immaculate rest rooms and restaurant is clean and cheerful. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Prices excellent. You won't be disappointed.“

“El servicio es muy bueno, la comida de muy buena calidad. El ambiente muy familiar y el lugar altamente recomendado!!“

“The staff very kindly let us stay at our table to catch up long after our food was gone. Much appreciated. And the food is good too.“

“my mom mom and i stopped in for lunch a week ago. we were unsure of prices, and how much it would be or what to get. quadry i believe his name was, or as he went by “Q” was SUPER helpful, respectful, and was a huge help for my mom mom and i. our experience was 100% better with his help towards us. he has a very lively personality and is overall a respectful person. he made this experience better for us, and i would go again. 100% recommend, thank you for making our experience better Quadry!!“

“Food truck on the campus near the parking lot on the right. The chicken tacos were delicious! They give sauce, wedges of lime and cucumbers. The rice and beans were equally good. Prices are great, only $9.00 for 3 tacos and rice & beans. Plus you get a small bag of fresh nachos. Highly recommend.“

“Very much enjoyed this spot. Mexican food on the east coast can be very hit or miss, but this place was solid. Really liked the vibe and decor as well. Carnitas nachos were excellent and I thought the arrachera was delicious as well. Also, great variety of chelas, I had a carta blanca which I don’t see often near philly. Would definitely go again.“

“These veggie nachos have changed my perception of all other veggie nachos. Literally loaded with veggies that work together and make you not even regret getting the "no meat" nacho option. Great portion, fresh, loads of flavor. I guess I liked it so much that I wrote this review.“
