“This is our go-to place for Mexican takeout in Kennett Square. We regularly get the special meat burrito with lomo (seasoned shredded pork), burrito with asada, and chicken quesadilla. The huaraches and enchiladas are also really good. All meals come with a ton of food. They give you little hot sauce containers and limes to go with your meal. There’s a small eating area where you often find people dining, but we typically to takeout because we order during the week and the food travels well. They’re always really quick when we call; about 15 minutes and the food is ready.

The owner is almost always the one who answers the phone and greets you when you come in. You can tell that he cares about his restaurant and making his customers happy, and you can feel good that you’re supporting a small local business, not a big chain. (If you happen to be helped by someone other than the owner, like a moody teen, don’t let it put you off).

The prices are reasonable, especially considering how much food you get.

One note: PAY CASH or you’ll be charged a credit card fee that they don’t even tell you about. This is the one complaint I have about this place. I know that many businesses are now doing this, but there are no signs in the restaurant warning of this fee and if you tell them you’re paying by card, they type a higher amount into the credit card machine without telling you.

The small parking lot could definitely be repaved and the building looks a little iffy in its lighting and placement among car repair shops and an apartment construction site, but it all adds to the feeling that you’ve found a hidden gem.

Parking: Not too many spots, but I’ve never found it totally full. Pavement is bumpy with lots of holes.“

“I have enjoyed many products from Taste of Puebla over the years as they come to my local farmers market. Recently I tried 2 new products - the jalapeño poppers and the queso. Both are quite tasty. The poppers fried up well and are full of flavor. The queso is creamy and not too salty. it's great as a dip or on nachos. I highly recommend both!“

“This is a thorough 5 star review, I've had pretty much everything on the menu by now and I have yet to be disappointed. Consistency is a very strong point of this place: the flavor of the meats, the portion size, and especially the execution (crispiness) of fried items is consistently great order after order. Huge bonus points for being one of the rare affordably-priced restaurants in the WC area AND for their weekend tamales. 10/10 would recommend.

Dietary restrictions: Their homemade corn tortillas are amazing, can be used all throughout the menu, and perfect for the gluten-free crowd.“

“More of a small business fast casual place than full restaurant --no table service. But the food was very flavorful, nice portion sizes, and friendly staff. They do have indoor and outdoor seating after you order and get your food at the counter.

Parking: Right off the main road, can be hard to back out when leaving because you're backing out right onto the street.“
