50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Wyndmoor

“My friends and I go to El Jefe almost every week, and we love this place. My friend comes from the same town in Mexico as one of the cooks, and that friend says it’s very authentic. The owner is extremely friendly and loves his customers. The wings are great, and I usually get six chorizo tacos every time I go and they are FANTASTIC. The man doesn’t skimp on the tacos either, they always come out FAT!?“

“We came for a large work dinner and everything was phenomenal. Our waiter, Greg, was incredibly personable and friendly. He knew the menu and made great recommendations. We were laughing the whole time. The food as well was fantastic--some of the best fajitas I've ever had. Will definitely be back next time we're in town!“

“Bought shrimp tacos, chicken tacos, esquites, chicken tacos and guacamole. The only downside is that the chicken tacos were made with dark chicken thigh meat, I wrongly assumed it would be chicken breast (my fault for not asking).Otherwise good decent food!“

“Food is great very creative I’d recommend the shrimp taco, new favorite place drinks are good too not watered down like other places. Service here is awesome. Leah is great our second visit she remembered my name she treats her regulars like we visit everyday. At one point I thought she was the owner bc she does such a great job running the place. This is now my favorite place to go.“

“My husband and I came here for date night and had a great time! The guacamole is so fresh and delicious. The drinks are also really good, make sure to try the Valentina drink! Our server was so attentive and I believe two of the managers or maybe even the owners came by our table to make sure we had everything we needed. Truly stellar service, will definitely be back!“

“Really great, inventive haute cuisine real Mexican; well executed thoughtfully prepared. Might have slipped a bit since my initial visit, but that could just be me being super impressed first go-around. Quite noisy on the weekends, be prepared to wait for your cocktails.“

“Went for a little birthday brunch last weekend, and will absolutely be back. The cocktails were fun, unique, and super tasty. The food was pretty awesome, loved the crab tostada and the potato side was sooo tasty. I got the birria benedict, which was on blue corn sopes. I will say the sope could use some work, it's one of my favorite Mexican dishes and this one was a bit flat/gritty compared to some I've had, but still absolutely loved the place and will be back!“

“Our first visit to La Ingrata and we had a wonderful experience. Co-owner Karla talked us through the menu and provided great service and conversation throughout the meal. I opted for a special of the day - pork pieces with skin still attached cooked in an amazing salsa verde, served with warm house-made tortillas, rice, and beans. So delicious eaten taco-style with a just-right hot sauce. My wife had a shrimp dish in mildly spicy tomato sauce and side salad, also delicious. We started with the house-made guacamole which was outstanding, along with fresh in-house tortilla chips. BYOB meant we enjoyed the meal with our own beers. Outstanding food, friendly service, a chance to taste some new dishes and a Mexico City-style of cooking, and affordable prices - we'll definitely be back!“

“This place has some amazing authentic Mexican vibes soon as you walk in. The food was really good and very inexpensive. Definitely recommend the burritos. The staff was friendly and very attentive, the place was very clean and the ambience was very cozy!“

“Cool vibe, friendly service, I love the logo! We arrived as happy hour was changing over and quickly ordered. We found that our happy hour tacos we considerably less enjoyable than the ones we ordered after happy hour concluded. Fun spot, certainly would go before a show at Union Transfer.“

“This is the best burrito place in NoLibs. The staff is really nice. I usually opt for no chipotle mayo but highly recommend the following!!Chicken torta Milanese (this is one of my favorite sandwiches in the city generally)Chicken burritoGreen chilaquiles“

“Don Mezcal was an incredible experience. Right as you walk in, you can feel the amazing atmosphere. The food and service are also amazing, and I was taken away by the quality of the food. I would definitely recommend Don Mezcal to someone, as it was amazing.“

“My fiancé and I came here to eat and I must say that the aesthetics here are so cute! The staff are friendly and their food is delicious! For apps: I recommend trying the steamed pork gyoza and Italian egg roll. For tacos: I recommend the tofu taco. It’s very crispy and moist. The ramen is good as well. For drinks I recommend the jasmine lemon green tea. We definitely would come back! :)“

“Just moved to the area from South Philly where there is no shortage of top tier Mexican joints and have been looking for something to scratch that itch in this area. I just found it, quick service, reasonable prices and GREAT food. Everything was seasoned perfectly down to the side of rice and the side hot sauces were spectacular. Would highly recommend if you live in the area!“

“The food was excellent! I ate the nachos and veggies burrito. We ate at the upstairs bar and the bartender was great with recommendations for drinks and add-ons for food. It was funny to me that the decor is more old fashioned diner than Mexican restaurant, but it worked.“

“I'm a native Texan and I am in HEAVEN. I just moved in down the street and this place is AMAZING. El Caracol serves up authentic dishes that are incredible and oh man I'm gonna eat so much. My husband ordered the camerones a la diabla (deviled shrimp) and they are gloriously garlicy. Add the orange sauce for extra spicy. I ordered the burrito mojado (wet burrito) with carnitas (it's the most delicious braised pork) and I could not stop eating it. The green salsa on the burrito is the perfect medium spicy. I cannot say enough good things. I am so thankful El Caracol is near me. It's small but this place is a must try. If you don't like it we can't be friends.“

“Amazing find. Went to Costco, needed a bite after and this place did not disappoint. The restaurant is tucked inside an apartment community so that was a little odd. The food was amazing! Shrimp tacos were loaded with flavorful shrimp and the birria tacos were amazing. Complementary chips and salsa were a nice add too. Place doesn’t look fancy but the food was great! Will definitely go back. Picture is of the shrimp taco and pastor (pork and pineapple) taco.“

“I was in the neighborhood to drop off and pick up my kid at an urban air birthday party. Popped in to grab lunch while I waited. So glad I did! Chilaquiles were delicious and a huge portion. Staff were all great too. Can’t wait to come back!!!“

“We had a reservation for 12 and the service could not be any better. Our server Mackenzie was phenomenal! The way she handled our large group with such ease was incredible. She was so friendly and had a delightful personality. The food was good and at a very fair price. We’ll definitely be coming back.“

“I would give 6 stars if I could!!! Such a great addition to Havertown! The food is delicious, love the vibe and the service is amazing!!! The pineapple express wings were AMAZING! I saw some instagram stories saying to get them and our server Marissa (who was the sweetest by the way) sealed the deal by saying awesome they were- she was right!!! I am not a huge wing person and could have eaten 20 of them! The guac is so good and fresh; served with warm chips. My husband and I both got fajitas- shrimp and steak, soooo good! Also the cucumber marg was great, strong (not mad about that) and delicious! Adding this in because my husband is a huge sports guy- the Phillies ended and within minutes they put on March Madness games- no awkward gap where you're watching infomercials for hours (it is his pet peeve haha). So happy that Al Pastor is in town! Can't wait to return!“

“came in on a friday afternoon for an early dinner. no wait, BYOB, reasonable prices, and truly unlimited chips/salsa (the chips are freshly fried tho!) that I could honestly get full off of with a good drink imo not as good as some of the mexican food on the other side of the river, but if you're in ucity and crave a solid burrito, this is a cute spot! ended up as $21/pp after tax and tip and we had some leftovers too!“

“We went for happy hour and sat at the bar. The nachos are out of this world! Try the spicy margarita, it was delicious. We got a pitcher of regular margaritas and they were only ok, but staff was nice, the food was good and the atmosphere was great.“

“Absolutely fabulous dining experience. Decorated in a wonder of chic & Mariachi, El Vez delivers on all points: Friendly, knowledgeable staff, bar-made mixed drinks, fresh guacamole, salads, and entrees. (Except the flour tortillas & croutons) the rest of the menu is gluten free. Plant-based options are proudly available.“

“We ordered a torta al pastor and enchiladas verdes. Everything on both plates was delicious except for the chicken in the enchiladas, which was not so good, but I was still very happy with the meal. I wouldn't recommend dining in if you're looking for a quiet eating environment, though - it was pretty noisy in the restaurant between the loud salsa music and the loud thumping (??).“

“Becky at the bar was great, upbeat and attentive. She knew the menu well enough to make great recommendations.Food was great, drinks (La Flor) were tasty and stong! Ambiance and mysic were on point for happy hr! Totally recommend for a chill bite, solo or with friends!Im coming back for the Elote Dip!“

“This place is amazing , I’ve never experienced such a good service and food it was just perfect . The food was delicious, the service was fast and so good, the margarita was on top, the manager and the people did a great job by helping us choose, the music was not too load, place was clean, parking lot available, bathroom smelling good … I mean .. this place is perfect !“

“The place is really good. Food is good and the atmosphere is very pleasant. We went in around 6 and they had an hour of waiting. We went there and the workers were very sweet and polite. They were also very quick with their service. My friend spilled her water and they cleaned it all up within 2 mins. It was crazy and very impressive! I will recommend this place, especially for their service.“

“If I could give ten stars, I would. This is some of the best food in town. You really can’t do much better. The menu is innovative and fuses deliciousness from different cultures. It is always fresh. It’s also consistent. The chefs there (yea they are chefs, not cooks) also help reduce food waste by making their own soup stocks. Have you tried the birria Raman? That consommé is liquid gold. It’s heady and dense. The soup alone is a meal.May I also add that the people who work there are solid individuals that genuinely love to cook and create.Please eat here.Kid-friendliness: All people welcomed here. All ages too!“

“This place has a really nice vibe. The food is so, so good. All the right spices and heat - I had the shrimp empanadas and ahi tuna ceviche. Price point was great and service was nice. We were seated right away and we loved it. We will def return! Parking is slightly difficulty.“

“Had a chorizo torta without jalapeños. On point, definitely delicious. Was visiting Philly from GA and I gotta say the Mexican food in Philly is so much better. The flavor of my food was unique and super delish. From the chips to the fries to the actual entree. Would come back here again if I’m ever back in Philly. Price was good too for the quality of the food.“

“Really good food, friendly service. This seems like a chain restaurant (I've nev heard of this place before). It set up similar to Chipotle/Qdoba. They have very different and unique food options and tasty sauces. This is worth a try if you like these types of quick eats places. I will eat here again...“

“Delish food - n of 3 times been so far and every time has been on point. Prices are definitely respectable (except $4 for extra pico) and the servers have always treated us nicely. Definitely recommend for Cantina food in the middle of Philly.“

“Got a recommendation to come here. Safe to say I will absolutely be returning. Food was so fresh and flavorful. Best guacamole I have ever had (if you don’t like spice you might not like it) service was great and the staff was super friendly. The margaritas were also a big hit!“

“Vegetarian options: The food was yummy. Even though the menu doesn't have a separate label for veg, non-vegan, or vegan, you can customize the order. Valerie was kind and respectful. She made that the order was right and provided suggestions on what's the best. Overall, it is a place was stopping by to have an amazing meal.“

“I've been in here quite a few times and I've always had a good experience.The food is always good. Serena I think her name is, is a sweet pleasant young lady she was very kind the last time I was in there.The atmosphere is nice especially on a great weather day. Y'all should check out the deck!!!“

“The food was great. I can't say anything more than that 5 stars all around. Question: Is this place still active? The website is not working, and neither is any of the phone numbers, but the Google listing said it's open. As of March 2024“

“Awesome brunch! Great atmosphere and music. The staff is welcoming, attentive and makes the experience five stars. The food and drinks are consistently amazing! Definitely a place you’ll come back to again and again! The GM Steve is the best and wants foodies to have the best experience and it shows!“

“If you’re looking for an authentic Mexican restaurant to try out give these guys a shot! We saw that this location just opened recently and had to give it a shot and we were impressed. I’m a fan of birria tacos and they are phenomenal here that’s for sure. Loved the plantains and the rice and beans were both great too. Very cool and artistic setting with great service to go along with it. We will be back in the future“

“My family and I are visiting from California. Our parents are from Mexico, and we have always had awesome carnitas from Michoacan, Mexico, but we were disappointed in Philadelphia until Emilianos. Wow, this place is so Legit! Absolutely the best Mexican food in Philadelphia! I recommend this spot for authentic Mexican food, especially Carnitas!Parking: Just to busyKid-friendliness: Absolutely“

“THE BEST CHILAQHILES VERDE I'VE HAD. I've been looking all over the Philly area for a place that makes good chilaquiles, and I finally found it at El Bronco. The steak was well seasoned, the sauce was spicy and had a good amount of vinegar, even the beans were very good. The only reason I can't give this place five stars is because my food that I ordered online wasn't ready until 30 minutes AFTER my pickup window ended. I'd recommend ordering well in advance and counting on a bit of a wait for your food, but I'll definitely be back.“

“Authentic, cheap and super tasty Mexican food!! Loved how friendly the staff was and the music playing made me feel right at home. Went with an order of 3 different tacos on their super soft flour tortillas that were charred perfectly and topped with a good amount of cilantro and raw onions. The barbacoa(pulled pork) was my favorite out of the three because of how flavorful, tender and juicy the meat was. Could eat that with plate of rice and beans every day easily. The tinga and the lengua were also super delicious and must try options when coming here. Those sauces tho they have at every table just made the tacos even better. Loved the spicy red sauce and the green sauce chilled it down just a tad to add a beautiful balance that made every taco a delight.“

“I had the pleasure of dining at Sor Ynez last night, and it's safe to say that this Mexican gem in Fishtown has left an indelible mark on my taste buds. From the moment you step through the door, you are enveloped in an inviting atmosphere that sets the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. Like really, who has a free parking lot in Fishtown, amazing!One of the standout features of Sor Ynez is its commitment to catering to diverse palates, including those with dietary preferences. As a vegetarian, I was thrilled to discover a plethora of options that went beyond the typical cheese and bean combinations. The menu boasts an array of innovative and mouthwatering vegetarian and vegan choices, proving that plant-based dining can be just as indulgent and satisfying.The flavors at Sor Ynez are nothing short of spectacular. I wholeheartedly recommend Sor Ynez to anyone seeking an authentic Mexican culinary adventure.“

“Legitimately delicious! Authentic flavor and very fresh preparation made us very very happy. The complimentary chips and salsa was delicious, the chips were freshly cooked. The birria and the enchiladas were awesome and the empanadas are top notch.“

“Delicious food in an open air environment makes this place refreshing even in a metropolis like Philadelphia. They have some of the best unique dishes that I can’t find anywhere else. The staff is so kind. The umbrellas and beautiful flowers at each table helped make this place a relaxing space. I will definitely be returning.Parking: You may have to go around the block more than once, or park further away and walk a block, but the food is worth it. I was fortunate and found a parking right in front of the restaurant.“

“This place is awesome. Great little family owned taco and burrito spot. Got a delicious chimichanga and my friend enjoyed his huevos breakfast (available all day apparently). Very good value for the food as well. Will definitely visit again when in the area.Vegetarian options: Most items are available as vegetarian.“

“Every time we come to Philly, we specifically stop by Mission for happy hour and their tasty, tasty guacamole. They have delicious vegetarian tacos and delectable meaty options that are the solid price of $3/taco for happy hour. Atmosphere is also top notch and I really like the cool, central room with the plants. The horchata iced coffee is also another favorite at this spot. Definitely stop by if you can!Vegetarian options: Cauliflower raco and an eggplant taco“

“We had the best, freshest, tastiest and authentic dinner experience here!!!!Gabrielle was so sweet!! If you want great Mexican food , try this place !!! I had the burrito bowl with chicken tinga !!!! Delish!!! Carne assada was delishhh too!!!“

“It was my first time visiting. Joined friends for happy hour. Had a fish taco. I think it was made with a fish stick?.Nice atmosphere. Good service. Very good prices for mixed drinks.I would visit again because it is close to home & has an inviting atmosphere.“

“Sancho's is a fun place with tons of specialty drinks, Mexican style food including ceviche, guacamole bowls, tons of different tacos plus great sides.Not cheap, but won't break the bank either . Tables inside and out as well a bat seating. They serve late (read 1am) and are a perfect spot for a date night .“
