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!“

“Stopped by for a snack
Stayed for a 3 course meal
John the bartender is INCREDIBLE
Everyone functions like a family with really prompt service and quick communication
They have homemade sodas….on TAP.
The nopalitos were so fresh and crunchy. Their vegetarian menu options are phenomenal. The star of the show is somehow the dessert. Like after so many bangers how can they also produce incredible conchas to end the meal??? I was happy crying by the end. Just. 10/10 everything. Must visit“

“This San Diego native gives their California burrito five full stars. It’s almost impossible to find a burrito spot on the east coast that doesn’t just fill with rice and beans, let alone that gets the carne asada right. But Cholula gri got it right. Thank you to the staff and workers here for making something so delicious.“

“Excellent food. Good service“

“One of my favorite places to eat! Well-crafted food with a sense of adventure. Always delicious. Incredible margaritas too. Service is attentive (calling you out, Alex- you are wonderful!). Can’t go wrong.“

“Wow! Why did I wait so long to go here?! I will now become a regular! Delicious food, good sized portions, and very reasonable prices. The owner and server were really nice. I sat next to some of the owner's family members and they were so friendly... a totally unexpected bonus for my first (of many!) meals at this wonderful place!“

“Been going there for a while and I have nothing bad to say about it“

“Very tasty Mexican food. Look forward to returning.“

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

“We had an incredible meal here tonight. Having lived in Arizona and traveled throughout Mexico extensively, I can still say this was the best Mexican food I’ve had in my life. The ambiance was warm, the service wonderful (hi, Amin!), and the food truly exceptional. It is incredibly fresh and the attention to detail, balance of spice and textures, and unparalleled homemade sauces just elevated the already excellent flavors from the chef’s family recipes. You can tell that there is a lot of love and passion being put into everything that is served. I can’t wait to go back.“

“The best Birria Tacos 🌮 !!!!😋🤤“

“We came here for the gluten free churros as we have never found any anywhere else, figured this could be a once in a lifetime find. It was happy hour so we had drinks and tacos too! Loved the beef barbacoa toco. This restaurant is 100% gluten free so no chance of cross contamination. Staff is very friendly in this light and airy establishment.“

“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!“

“Excelente la comida y la atención“

“We order from here pretty regularly, and it never disappoints. I’ve had the tacos, burrito bowls and chicken quesadillas! When I tell you these are not your average quesadillas I mean it! They are literally the best! Fresh chips and guacamole are also a must! I highly recommend!“

“Went to grab a bite on my way to the airport, we got the trio tacos and the birria quesadilla. When I say 10/10 it was great! Presentation and flavors on point. Service was great I parked across the street, and they brought my food to my car.“

“Pistola’s Del Sur might officially be one of my favorite spots in Passyunk. Easily one of the best happy hours around, and honestly just a great place overall.
I tried all five tacos: tuna, carne asada, roasted chicken, cheesesteak, and buffalo cauliflower, and every single one was amazing.
Still can’t decide which one was my favorite. The chips and salsa were super fresh, with chips so crispy they tasted homemade.
The staff was incredibly friendly, service was quick, and food came out fast. The vibe inside is chill and relaxing, with a couple TVs, plenty of seating, and a great setup whether you’re there to hang out or just grab a bite. They also have an outdoor area, which I’m definitely coming back for once the weather warms up.
Now let’s talk drinks…if you like margaritas, you have to get the Diablo marg pitcher. During happy hour it’s $28, perfectly priced, strong, and great to share.
Overall, I’ll 100% be back multiple times. Highly recommend, not just for happy hour, but for the food, service, and atmosphere too. 🌮🍹🔥“

Highly recommend this place. Definitely I will return.“

“Came in a few weeks ago for the first time, and while there was a bit of a wait after being seated, it was absolutely worth it. We got the quesa birria tacos, steak street tacos and chips and queso and everything was incredible. So delicious, and everyone there was so nice and friendly! Ordered take out tonight as the true test and quality was still great! My fiance is insanely particular about food and he loved everything. This is our new spot for sure.“

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

“I visited this wonderful community restaurant just the other day and had some of the best Mexican food I’ve had in Philly! Like any good restaurant, they focus on the food and the setting feels authentic and true to its character. Also, the prices are unBEATABLE! If you need good Mexican food in West Philly this place is hard to beat.“

“Friendly staff, very clean“

“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.“

“Tacodelphia never misses! Every time I come in I’m met with the best energy- it genuinely feels like a neighborhood spot that actually cares about the people walking through the door. The service is quick without ever feeling rushed, and the food? One of my absolute favorite spots in all of Philly, no contest.

Huge shoutout to Fatima & Jose for always bringing their friendly energy and making every visit feel like a warm welcome.

I highly recommend to everyone from anywhere!“

“Got food from the food truck in North Philly at Temple the first time and we loved it so much that we came to this location in the main city! It’s lovely seeing a Halal Mexican place in the city. Seriously made my trip to Philly memorable! The food is fresh, made with love, and the atmosphere is clean and welcoming. WILL be coming back!“

“Great lunch spot after Franklin Institute“

“Birria tacos. Fundido. Burrito. Salsas are delicious! Can’t wait to go through the whole menu.“

“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.“

“Huge bowl for a reasonable price! The lemon couscous was delicious, as were all the ingredients I ordered for my bowl, and temperature was perfect. Dressing was also well drizzled, not dumped on like a lot of places. Definitely going to order from here again.“

“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.“
