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!“

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“

“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.“

“Excellent food. Good service“

“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.“

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

“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!!!“

“Delicious food, very polite staff and very clean inside! Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“I come here at least twice a week it’s so good! Can’t go wrong with your order whether it’s a Katsu platter or fish burrito (my personal favorite) and one of few food trucks you can order ahead!“

“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 🌮 !!!!😋🤤“

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

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

“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“

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

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

“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!“

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

“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!!“

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

“Very fresh, delicious and affordable. My personal favourite is the Fish Tacos, all made fresh by Jabir and the free side salsas are all made in-house. Did I mention my wife and I eat from here 4-5 days a week? In our opinion It's that good“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“
