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!“

“I was visiting family in the area when they told me about this hidden gem and they were truly the best tacos I've ever had we ordered the birria beef tacos and they were so incredibly good for sure a must try!!!“

“Went with non vegan friends, my partner and I were happy to have food to eat and they enjoyed their food too. We had the cauliflower tacos and the rice and beans. We were told the eggplant was vegan too. Guacamole was tiny but good. Chips very good, photo taken mid eating. Updated from previous review on 2025-07-28“

“My friend and I came here for a quick lunch on a Sunday. No crowd, just a few people. It was definitely a divey kind of place because it was really dark in the space. We had to find a table near a light to see! We shared the guacamole which was delicious and addicting. I got the mahi mahi tacos and those might be the best Mahi tacos I’ve had in a while. So flavorful and they looked beautiful. I’d definitely go back to try some of their other dishes!“

“Beautiful atmosphere , fun foods with great flavor“

“Incredible food and incredible service! Thank you El Rey“

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

“This was my second time here. I went a couple of months ago and I ordered the same type of tacos (cauliflower). The tacos this time were much more flavourful, had more sauce/seasonings. I also had the same margarita and it was also much improved.

I was there with a party of 8. Service was great and one of our party was running late. We weren’t rushed and were asked if we wanted to wait to order food, which I really appreciated.

Our party included meat eaters, vegetarians, and gluten free (celiac, not by choice). There were multiple choices for everyone. Everyone thought their meals were really good - and this is a crowd that frequents Mexican restaurants.

I have celiac disease and can tell within 30 minutes whether or not I got exposed to gluten. The server was very knowledgeable about gluten free options, from drinks to the food. I was assured that what I ordered had no cross contamination and they don’t put other items in the fryer that they use for tortilla chips. I had heard that they had stopped doing this a few months ago from an online review - but seems like they have a dedicated fryer for their chips again. I did not have a reaction!

The rooftop deck is beautiful and just a wonderful atmosphere. The entire restaurant though is thoughtfully decorated and the murals are gorgeous. Also really thrilled about supporting a local who clearly put a lot of thought into opening a restaurant here in East Falls and making it such a wonderful experience.“

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

“This is the place to be on Main St. #bestvibeindayunk“

“Great lunch spot after Franklin Institute“

“This place is normally one of my Top three places to go for birria tacos, however, I don’t know, but what happened today but the tacos were not good at all. The consume wasn’t good , it wasn’t even the same color as usual. My boyfriend enjoyed his chicken and shrimp tacos but the birria just wasn’t right today.“

“First time visiting and popped in for a taco. It was delicious! Drew the owner shared about the type of proteins and toppings they offer. Such lovely customer service. I had the corn medley topped with a fresh salsa. The flour tortillas was heated on the grill and was just perfect. Thank you so much.“

“Service and food was fantastic! Margarita kits were perfect!“

“If the man who runs this taco truck runs for mayor he has my vote. He has quality food, from his breakfast sandwich to his Quesadilla's everything is great. You get a different hot sauce almost every day, because you know it is likely made that morning and they are always good. And the pricing of his food is so good, it is practically a poor financial decision to not eat their.

Never change.“

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

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!“

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

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

“Had Dos Gringos food truck for a private employee event. They were on time , totally professional and the food was fantastic! Highly recommend you hire these guys if your doing a food truck event.“

“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!“

“Best pork tacos. I have not found anywhere better then here. If you haven’t been here you must try“

“You’ll want to come to this place! The food made me feel comforted and at home! Everything tasted fresh! I got carnitas chilaquiles and the plate was huge. My girlfriend says it’s the “best food she ever had” and i wholeheartedly agree! You’ll definitely enjoy the food here!“

“This is one of my favorite taco foos trucks in Drexel’s campus. I’m from Mexico and this is the closest I’ve had to to tacos I’ve had in Mexico. If any students or campus touring families are around Drexel, definitely give this place a try!“

“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.“

“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!“
