“cosinan muy bien y tienen muy buen trato .. es lo mejorsito que he visto en filadelfia“

“The food and drinks were amazing. I was surprised that the food was actually spicy because it's hard to find an upscale Mexican restaurant that actually has spicy food. Drinks were super tasty and the right amount of alcohol. Everyone was super friendly and attentive. AND MUSIC WAS amazing.“

“Awesome mexican restaurant in Fairmount! The restaurant looks small from the front but stretches back into really fun dining room. There is a patio option that would be great on a sunny day. The staff was very friendly and personable. I was seated as soon as I walked in but I did make a reservation beforehand. Our waitress made the recommendation for the Baja tacos and they did not disappoint (9/10) The carnitas tacos were excellent (9/10). We also started with the guacamole sampler, which comes with house chips and salsa. The plain guac was just average, but both the street corn and the spicy tuna guacamole were amazing. My friend and I split a margarita pitcher and they were great! A little sweet but perfectly strong. Easily 4 drinks in a pitcher. Overall this place is great for a first date, catching up with friends, or just some amazing food. Cantina Feliz will definitely be added into my regular rotation.“

“Awesome food, atmosphere, and beyond awesome friendly hospitality and service!!!!!“

“food was very tasty. waitress was pleasant.“

““Epic food super nice waitress awesome time” - my seven year old son“

“I ordered the Beef Birria Tacos. First time was good I ordered on a Saturday night. My second time I went around 4pm not as good the consommé had a strong tomato paste flavor to me and they added too many onions to the top. Overall the food was good. Best to call ahead there really isn’t a waiting area inside. I would recommend them and continue to support this small local business.“

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

“Everything here was 5 stars across the board — the food, the service, the atmosphere.As for the food, we ordered the birria tacos & ramen, along with a few of the HH street tacos. The flavor was amazing, I haven’t had birria so rich across the East Coast! The horchata was also amazing. The vibes were great inside, and Juana was so kind. It was a wonderful experience and can’t wait to go back!“

“Went for dinner and food was excellent! Had the Sopa Azteca and the broth was so tasty. The Tacos huastecos were meaty and again so tasty. My son had the Enchilados and he said they were some of the best he’s had. Overall, a delicious and reasonable meal with great service!! Highly recommend!“

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

“A fabulous place for late brunch early evening dining that ushers you into the weekend El Techo way. One of the best rooftop bars and restaurants in the city with amazing music. Won’t miss ordering anything off the menu drink or food. Loved the Mixed Greens Salad is was so fresh and the Barbacoa Tacos braised beef is tender and juicy. Service is excellent and you’ll notice that everyone from the host, to the kitchen, and waiters care that you have the best experience. Also, love that they use Toast for bill paying. IYKYK!“

“amazing food and service every single time!!“

“I really struggled to find a good Mexican restaurant. This was amazing and I’m glad to have found la Guera. We will definitely be back.“

“i found this place while searching for a chipotle and im very happy i did. ordered the birria chicken bowl and elote. the bowl came with diced tomatoes, red cabbage, cucumbers and guac (w no additional cost!). chicken was perfectly cooked and seasoned but i can eat the lemon cilantro rice for days..! this was probably my first proper elote and it was flipping delicious. quick service for take outi will be back !“

“Me and my friends enjoyed Mission Taqueria! We went during happy hour, which has good deals on tacos (1 taco was $3) and had some chips with it! I will say the menu was a bit confusing. I wanted chips and salsa, and my waiter was having a hard time helping me get it as a side. I didnt want 3 dips, with that its $13 which is crazy. We just wanted a small order and eventually she was able to help us. Our food was yummy but drinks were small and pricey. But, I'd come back again for happy hour because of the food.“

“The chicken katsu tacos might be the best thing I've ever eaten, anywhere. wow.“

“The korean quesa birria tacos are next level!With the cilantro lime mayo, highly recommend...“

“Yummy, fresh, lots of options. I love their salsa. We either stop in or order out from there once a week.“

“It’s fantastic place!! If I lived closer I would be there weekly!“

“Beats El Vez any day! The Esquites (Mexican street corn) is this best we’ve ever had. My burrito bowl was so huge that I could make three meals out of it! Definitely our favorite Mexican place in the city.“

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

“Excellent food. Good service“

“Excellent., from the hostess, bartender, and server. Multiple choices of tequila. Mixed drinks are delicious. Brisket enchiladas are to die for. The staff's cohesion reminds me of family. Check this out, you will be pleasantly surprised.“

“Neighborhood gem, super fast service and reliably good food. Personally, I think they're better than any of the other Mexican restaurants in West Philly. The only minor quibble is the atmosphere or the dining experience, but at this price point, I can't really complain.“

“This place is so good there isn’t something I haven’t tried yet that I don’t like. I don’t like fast food taco places but this place has so much flavor and your wouldn’t think it’s more on the fast food side of things.Wheelchair accessibility: Right on the corner, no stairs to get inside so easily accessible.“

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

“Don Memo is such a special business! My partner and I have been eating at the cart for years (often weekly), and are so excited that they've grown into their new truck! The breakfast burrito (medium spice level) is our usual order and is insanelyyyy good, and I can't get over the fish tacos on the new menu!! Beyond all this, the guys are so friendly and thoughtful, I love coming to see them at the Clark Park Farmers Market. It's well worth the wait, and fun to shop the market in the meantime!“

“My wife and I found our new regular Mexican restaurant for sure. Quantity, Quality, and Value were all amazing here. Service was friendly and quick!My only complaint is that they aren't closer to where we live.The large guacamole comes with an almost offensive amount of guacamole, and was seasoned very well.The burritos are huge; enough to feed two people.The tacos have a ton of filling and was seasoned very well.“

“Taco ‘bout a tasty meal! We stopped by Pistola's Del Sure for tacos and it did not disappoint!For dinner, we ordered:- Papas Fritas: fries with garlic and cotija cheese- Traditional Guacamole- Mahi Mahi Tacos: tempura battered, pickled red cabbage, chipotle aioli, cilantro- Shrimp Al Pastor Tacos: pineapple pico, pickled red onions, salsa verde, cilantro- ChurrosNext time you’re in the Philly area, swing by Pistolas Del Sur to fulfill your taco craving!-Follow @centralpafoodie on Instagram for more PA food reviews & pictures!“

“Everything I've tried has been great.“

“I’ve always believed you never get a second chance at a first impression! Especially when it comes to restaurant food quality and quantity! L. A. Taco Bistro impressed me in both! I was told about this place by a coworker and decided to give them a try! The customer service, the freshly (on the spot) prepared meals, and the L.A. Taco Bistro signature sauce were all excellent. Be advised, with your food being prepared fresh to order, you will have a wait. My next time, I called ahead and my food was ready at pickup. I’d advise you to call ahead with your preferred pickup time. Their extensive menu will please the most discerning palate! Bon Apetité!“

“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.“

“Excellent margarita.Pricey, and they upcharge for everything.Lettuce and cheese on tacos or burritos costs $3 extra. If you don’t pay extra for lettuce, it’s just a lump of meat with a few strands of chopped cilantro.Salsa and chips costs $5. They charge extra ($4) for salsa when you order chips and guacamole (which is already $12).Vegetarian options: Vegetarian protein options are soy chorizo, smoked tofu, or seitan.“

“The food is very good and fresh. It has a very good taste.“

“Quick service around late lunch time this week. I came to get two burritos, one steak and one vegetarian. Food was finished quickly, and the burrito comes with a side of chips and salsa. I can't wait to try the birria. Easy service good vibes!“

“I had a chronic urticaria last year, ever since then i have be visiting the clinic and taking different kinds of medicine but yet no improvement. Few months ago it got worse, the inching becomes unbearable, sometimes it spread all over my body and it almost affected my lungs. One faithful day, Someone saw me when I was at the supermarket here in ATL when I was shopping for some groceries, she walked up to me, we had a nice chat where she told me her experience when she had the same problem, and she was able to get rid of it permanently with herbs from dr festy, I requested for the Dr's contact and i ordered the medicine because at that point I was willing to try anything just to get rid my chronic urticaria. It affected my social life negatively, I hardly associate with people and I became depressed. So after using the herbs I was completely cured and my life is back to normal. I'll keep creating awareness about dr festy's herbal medicine by sharing my story because I know how it feels battling with chronic urticaria. Are you struggling with herpes, autism, HIV, infertility, HPV, and chronic health conditions, including diabetes, certain stages of cancer, arthritis, and anxiety disorders contact Dr Festy for proper consultations.

“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.“

“Ordered up some Mexipizza wings for a party over the weekend. Totally enjoyed them. I’ll be back for more!“

“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.“

“What an awesome breakfast spot. The owners Patrick and Rainy are friendly and down to earth. The food was delicious, especially the scrapple and coffee! Felt like home here!“

“From the first and now second catering experienced with these great people are nothing but exceptional, from prompt communication initially with Jessica for quotations & booking, to the fantastic services/tacos provided by Manuel and his team, my daughter's 1st birthday was a success.“

“A wonderful spot to step in and order some authentic Hispanic food. Went with a Cuban sandwich that had all ingredients balanced that balanced well with one other. The amount of ham, about three pieces of thickly sliced didn’t overpower the amount of pernil and the extra condimentes of mustard and mayo didn’t take overtake the meal. The bread held everything together well and didn’t make the sandwich intimidating. Super delicious and should be ordered for more occasions!“
