“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!“

“We went for dinner around 5pm today with a group of 7 and everything was fantastic!!! The food was so fresh and flavorful. You can definitely tell they put love into their food and pride themselves on great presentation. BYOB with great mixers and smoothies. The service was very attentive and friendly. Very cozy inviting atmosphere. Can't wait to go back!!“

“It's an authentic mom & pop Mexican trattoria , which is a must visit. Esp for their Buffalo pizza, of all things.It's the best pizza I've eaten, maybe due to the fact that it was made in a wood fired ovenOur nachos were a bit too drenched in cheese , but it's a personal choice.Soup was good and warmRed snapper was crispy and baked to perfection in the wood fired ovenEnchiladas were made with corn tortillas, but delicious.I'd love to come back.The host/owner is a delight to meet.His love and care in food prep, service and customer dealing is warm and jovial.“

“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.“

“Pineapple Raisin Tamale is understated! Get Pineapple Raisin Tamale if it is offered. Get two! Get Three! It's pretty awesome and I am kicking myself for getting just one and having to share! Relative to the tacos I think these tamales may not get as much publicity but they are unique and fantastic! Of course the tacos are great as well. Of the two taco versions, Lamb and Pork, the Pork was my favorite. The lamb was slightly dry and maybe needed a little spice for my taste. If you have to get them to go because of lack of seating, don't wait too long to eat! If only their standard hours of business were better I'd be there more often.“

“Bomb Mexican food in Philly! It is definitely very authentic and they had a lot of menu options that I don't usually see at other Mexican places. The margaritas were so good with many different flavors to choose from. Definitely recommend getting the nachos. The guacamole was super green and vibrant, but unfortunately I felt like it was just a bit too bland and could have used some more salt and lime. I enjoyed my quesadilla, I had never had squash blossom in a quesadilla before and it actually worked really well. If you don't like onions though like me, they do put onions in their quesadillas so make sure to ask for no onions! I wouldn't come here on a date night, ambience is very casual, but I would definitely come here with a group of friends to catch up and get some margs!“

“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.“

“We had the best service with Kate! She gave us tips on what to order and ahead of time was dead on. We started with a cocktail and had a glass of wine with dinner. We split the spicy chicken empanadas, delicious, however, we did not detect the spice. We split the green chili Caesar. Honestly, the best Caesar in town. I do t see how they get it so cold and crisp, it's amazing! We then each had a ceviche. The baby shrimp, which were much bigger than anticipated, such wonderful flavor! My daughter had the crab, the server suggested mixing it right away to get the sauce mixed in. Very good! It did need more liquid. We simply poured the extra shrimp sauce in the crab, it was superb after that. The tomato on the shrimp just gives it more moisture and such a good flavor! We can't wait to go back!“

“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 hot chocolate might be best in Philly. Super cute, seemingly hidden spot. Service is great. Staff is super helpful in explaining anything and everything on the menu. Prices are pretty reasonable for brunch. Dinner menu prices are better.“

“The tacos are amazing. I am a huge fan of the Al pastor and the chicken. Also, every Tuesday is taco Tuesday so by one get one for Al pastor. Best deal ever. Also it’s mom and pop and the service is quick and the staff are always so nice.“

“Cantina is an utter delight. Happy hour is a steal ($1 tacos!), and literally everything we’ve ever had here is absolutely incredible. They care about and invest in the Kensington community. We feel so lucky to be in a neighborhood where Cantina exists!“

“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.“

“Everything has been delicious. I can only make it for breakfast or dinner during the week. Unfortunately they're only open for dinner on Sundays, so breakfast is my only choice and breakfast burrito my go to. I hope they're a permanent fixture in the neighborhood for years to come“

“I've been meaning to try this place for so long and saw that they were recently put on GrubHub so tried them for lunch today. I got the San Jose beef barbacoa burrito. It was excellent. Grilled really nicely on the outside and everything inside was super flavorful. Will definitely be trying some of their Cuban sandwiches next!“

“I’ve eaten here twice, now. I thought there was no way that what I ordered tonight (quesadillas w/rib eye) could match the Bufalo pizza from two days ago. I was as wrong as I could be. I’m guessing that I will eat here 80 to 100 times this year. It’s THAT good.“

“Once again I found myself traveling for work on the city of Brotherly Love looking for something both local and delicious. Mole Poblano was an absolute dream. It's what we would say in Spanish "muy bueno". The staff and service were incredibly kind and attentive. Now let's talk about the food. Ended up going with the chips and guacamole with the steak burrito. I can honestly say I have never had chips this good in my entire life yet alone guacamole that can be eaten alone with a spoon. The steak burrito had flavors that transported me across space and time. Highly recommend this place to anyone and everyone with taste buds.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I have been going here since they opened. I really do love the food, drinks, and the fun interior. The service however always leaves something to be desired. The people are friendly but absent. I often have to wait to even be asked if I want a drink let alone food to start. I am not sure if it is a problem with not enough staff or inexperienced staff. Overall, the staff needs to be more attentive to customers. The music choices are completely fine but please, please turn it down. I was torn between 3 or 4 stars. I went with 4 bc there really is so much potential here. Bottom line, increase attentiveness and decrease the music volume and we got a phenomenal restaurant!“

“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 must have passed by this foodtruck 100x without trying but decided to give it a shot today on lunch break. I love burritos, tacos, churros and all more than most. This was the best steak burrito I've had in recent memory! I won't be passing by again without grabbing something. Birria tacos on my to do list! Highly recommend!“

“This place is delicious!! I’m originally from San Diego and it’s very hard to find Mexican food that’s even close to anything I grew up eating. This was by far the best I’ve had outside of San Diego. I can’t wait to go back. Enjoy the photo of my half eaten food ?. Every Mexican restaurant nearby needs to come here and take notes.“

“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!“

“Lived in Philly for 15 years tried most of the Mexican restaurants here. Today was my first time dining, and I can honestly say this is one of the best Mexican places in the city. Flavorful dishes and warm friendly service! Can’t wait to come back again! Thank you for the delicious meal ?“

“Delicious food in a small corner restaurant. I had tacos with steak and chorizo and a Mexican coke. My partner had a steak and chorizo burrito and a horchata. All was yummy with the red and green sauces.Please go and patron them. Worth the trip.Parking: This is in a South Philly neighborhood so the streets are full of cars. Short walk from Tasker BSL though.“

“Love this place and go in/order here often since its local. I really like the birra dumplings and seafood eggroll. However, I recently tried their wings ordering out and was HIGHLY disappointed?. I paid $12 for soggy old meat with no flavor, yet I ordered the chipotle wings . I made my two friends try the wings bc i refused to even eat them. She said it burnt her lip and the smell made her nauseous. They were literally FUNKY. Will still continue to eat here because for the most part their food is good. However after this experience I won’t risk ordering their wings??!!!“

“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!“

“A gem that always delivers in south philly! Super amazing tacos and tortas and from that I’d try much more of their menu in the future. They set the standard so I imagine the rest of the food is just as superb. Service here is always really good, servers are very energetic and kind and able to speak two languages, so utmost respect. Their agua frescos are huge and very tasty. I want to try their dessert but their portions are just so generous and perfect to keep me full for hours. 10/10 everytime would bring everyone I know here.“

“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.“

“The food was excellent and just what I was in the mood for. We got the special (a carne asada burrito), chicken enchiladas, and chips and salsa.We are visiting from out of town and brought our kids with us. The waitress initially acted like she had never seen a child before ? I understand that they do a big bar business, but it was before 5pm and it was honestly comical how surprised they seemed by children. The staff recovered quickly however and we had a very nice meal. Accessibility note: it's all high tops indoors.“

“We finally made it to Burrito Mix for a little lunch date. It was unbelievable! Brian got the Carne Asada lunch special and I got the steak tacos on flour tortillas. They were so good, but I had to give one taco to Brian. They were stuffed with deliciousness! The server was sweet and the food came out fast! They have music playing, fun atmosphere.We will definitely be back…A LOT!Love to see local businesses making it in these crazy times. Support them!“

“Great casual option with a large and varied menu that has something for everyone! We kept it simple and shared chips and guac, and each had an entree (quesadilla and burrito). All the food was good, but nothing struck us as a must recommend either. The restaurant has a lot of customers collecting take out and was full on a Friday night, so the servers were kept busy. It took us a little bit to get our order in, but once it was food was fast. It was also 6pm on a Friday though! We loved the decorations and ambiance. It looks like they have limited outside seating as well for nicer weather. It is BYO, and what I wish we realized in advance is if you bring liquor you can mix it into cocktails! I think they even made margaritas for the table next to us with their tequila bottle. Definitely looking to try that next time!“

“LaNova was a surprise for our party of three. We were expecting a larger place but don't let the fact that it is a "hole-in-the-wall strip shopping center kinda restaurant. The minute you enter you are draped in the wonderful aromas of true Mexican food. I just knew we would love whatever we ordered! There was non-stop take-out & deliveries. I pretty much closed my eyes & pointed to something. I could have been happy with a number of items but I was delighted with my. Beef & chorizo tacos. My husband & son were also pleased with what they ordered. I can't remember the names but they both had chicken cassadias which had a white sauce. If you are in bc the neighborhood give it a try...we did & so happy we did!“

“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“

“I'm visiting NJ from El Paso, Texas and there is nowhere to find Puebla food :(. I ordered a cemita de milanesa de res and it was delicious ???? just as I remembered them on my visits to Puebla, the portion is huge ?, It only takes 2 servings, also pot coffee, that one lacked flavor. The place was clean, and the service was excellent from the young man who served us, very attentive, polite and helpful, I will definitely go again.“

We had a huarache of bistec which was more than enough for me wife and I. We will be going back soon!!!“

“The best guac I’ve ever had, hands down! The homemade chips paired excellently with it too. I shared the mini sopesitos and they were great, not too heavy either. The birria tacos hit the spot! Tres leches was so light and fluffy, the perfect ending to a delicious meal. The restaurant is very small but gives a homey, “one of the family” feel. BYOB. Service was prompt and friendly. I can’t wait to come back!Also, the leftover tacos were even great the next day heated up in the air fryer“
