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.“

“Sooooooooooooo yummmmmmmmmmmyyyyyyyyy you get Birria from some places that is so flavorless and just looks yummy let me tell you this is not that at all… their Birria is so yummy and flavorful!! Looks and tastes good! Comes with cucumbers and limes and yummy salsas too! You can order online without an upcharge. Pickup was easy. Highly recommend :)“

The house margs were delicious and the tortilla soup was “da bomb” 💣… !
Ty Pistolas Del Sur…we will definitely be back.“

She talked us into shots before our waters! The most delicious and smoothest house-made tequila I’ve ever had. All in all an awesome experience. Came for restaurant week but would definitely come back for full menu. 10/10.“

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

“Food was absolutely delicious. Great place, friendly staff, and awesome food😁“

“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!“

“The best Birria Tacos 🌮 !!!!😋🤤“

“Good food and friendly service. Portion sizes are great for teens who love to eat!“

Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian and vegan options!“

“Great lunch spot after Franklin Institute“

“Highly recommend this place. Haven't had a bad meal yet. As a former upstate NY-er I recommend trying their chicken wings.“

“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!"“

“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.“

“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.“

“Had lunch here with my son and the service was great food was fresh and very tasty. Drinks were creative good prices.“

“This place in terminal D is worth the money! My partner and I both got different Tofu bowls and dang, super filling n healthy n tastey. Lots of protein hacks too aside from tofu, with beans, curried chickpeas, hummus and tahini all on the menu. Loved it, wish it were in every airport.“

“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.“

“Best steak enchiladas and refried beans! Fresh authentic Mexican!“

“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.“

“I was lucky enough to have a spot at the bar for the Super Bowl at Jose’s. What a terrific job they did selling for this event. They didn’t oversell so that the place was overcrowded like I’m sure so many places may have, I witnessed many places for the NFC that absolutely were over capacity. Our bartender Will had his momentum down and had everyone taken care of from food to drinks and processing everything with ease. I’m sure there were bars with lines waiting for drinks for over 20 minutes. At Jose’s as soon as the initial surge was serviced there wasn’t a wait because they prepared appropriately. They had dedicated bar backs, servers for the tables, and clearly had ready stocked the bars and kitchens to be ready for the big event. I can’t say how happy I was to have room to breathe and to have the full food menu and not a nonsense ‘game day’ menu that some places have. Don’t get me wrong every person working at Jose’s was MOVING, they earned every dollar they made that night.

Bars should take note of the professionalism and integrity at Jose Pistola’s and how they run these big events.“

“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.“

“Tried here for the first time tonight and it was delicious! We will definitely be ordering from here again!“
