“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!!“
“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!“
“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!“
“I noticed this place for a while and thought it was just a fast food takeout like a Chipotle or something. Very glad we tried it! Ate in on a Saturday night. We were sat right away and quickly greeted with chips and good salsa. Service was great, friendly and attentive. It has a good atmosphere with some cool artwork. We both had a spicy margarita, they were perfect. The fresh guacamole was delicious. There are a lot of food options. We both picked a dinner combo and were more than satisfied. I loved the rice and refried beans. Will definitely be back.“
“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.“
“Great service! Nice atmosphere! Amazing food! Both Tacos and Ramen! The Boba tea is one of the best I've had in a while! I'd recommend trying Black Tea Boba with almond milk! Will definitely visit again next time we're in Philly!“
“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“
Latin American • $
“Loveeeeee Andale. Great owners. Great foodYucca fries are so good you should get them.Chicken tacos are greatI usually get the carne asada and just ask for onions and cilantro on corn tortilla. I’m simple.Chipotle has nothing on them and your stomach won’t hurt afterwardBurritos are a great size“
“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.“
“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!“
“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 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.“
“Service and food are wonderful. Ambiance is pretty good but a little "pizza joint" like. Not that it's bad, just didn't expect the level of food we received. Everything was hot and fresh, high quality ingredients, cooked very very well, I could argue perfect. Or waiter was responsive, thorough and very helpful. What a gem to find.“
“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.“
“Probably one of the best Taco bells around known for the good quality food but that's not the only thing..If you get a chance to meet Mrs t you're truly blessed she is a wonderful manager there.I wish the world had more of her thank you Mrs t“
“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 love this restaurant and go often. The food is always fresh and delicious, as are the drinks. Excellent service every time. We live around the corner but even if we had to travel we'd still be here all the time. The best Mexican food and we're so happy to have it in the neighborhood!“
“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.“
“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.“
“Best nachos ever! Every chip is the "best nacho chip" with cheese, salsa, jalapeños, and beans. We always get the street corn and gorditas. Their wings are very good as well. Staff is extremely kind and attentive. Its a neighborhood byob spot and its fantastic.“
“The food was to die for and very affordable! A lot of interesting entrees as well. We will definitely come back if we are in the area. They don't make things spicy at all, hence if you want it spicy you can add it in, but you cannot take it out. We left with 2 happy stomachs“
“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“
“Enjoyed Sunday brunch at their Philadelphia location. Perfect ambiance and great customer service. Really enjoyed my Oaxacan Sour cocktail. Delicious food: appetizers, entrées, and decadent desserts cooked to perfection! Thank you for a wonderful time!♥️“
“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!“
“The food was good. We ordered the elotes corn dip and chicken enchiladas with red sauce. The pitcher of strawberry margheritas we ordered was also good. The place was busy and a little loud, and I wish their seating didn't feel as crowded. But over all it was good.“
“Took the family and had a great dinner! Nachos and fajitas were delicious. The portions were large and we ended up taking some home. But the best were the churros! Warm and so yummy.The staff couldn’t have be more welcoming or accommodating. We’ll definitely be back!“
“Always have a great experience here at Primo Plaza. They have a store in the front where you can buy all types of seasonings, baked breads, drinks, supplies and more. They also have a very special bakery where they make beautiful cakes and all types of deserts. The restaurant itself has a great menu with nice portion sizes and good prices. They have fresh made drinks and the salsas as well. The service is always good.“
“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!“
“Got some takeout and it was slammin'. This immediate area was heavily due for some really good Mexican/Hispanic food. Looking forward to dining in.Year update: It's still the best in the area and I'm always excited to eat here!“
“We just used La Cita catering for my husband’s 50th birthday party that we hosted at our home. Our event was for about 30 people. We ordered taco platters, enchiladas, rice and beans and guacamole. Everything was delicious! I worked with Olivia on the order and the process was easy, the price was reasonable and everything was packed up beautifully in trays to bringing home and drop over chafing dishes and sternos.We always have enjoyed dining at La Cita and getting take out, but now we add to the list using them for catering!“
“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.“
“Delicious food, freshly prepared with quality ingredients. Our server, Justin, was fantastic and very helpful. Don't be alarmed when you pull up and see a huge parking lot as sure enough, the restaurant is there . Their outside space is massive but the inside restaurant is a bit on the small side. We were very impressed with everything and will be back!“
“I knew this spot had some tasty tacos, but the gigantic pollo cemita that I enjoyed a couple days ago blew my mind! The sandwich was stacked high on a toasted roll and included a generous portion of tender pollo milanese, a mass of snappy Oaxaca cheese strands, jack cheese, creamy avocado, ham slices, chipotle peppers, onion, and tomato. I enjoyed it with red and green salsas. I’d get it sans tomato next time. Can’t wait to return for another, and to try some other eats!“
“This was our first time ordering from Provecho and I was pleasantly surprised! We ordered via DoorDash and the food arrived warm and fresh. Overall, everything was delicious. We got a chicken tinga burrito bowl, tacos, a kids quesadilla, and chips & queso. Everything was delicious with the exception of the shrimp taco. The shrimp felt a bit rubbery and underwhelming. The Tinga and carnitas tacos were both much more flavorful. The kids quesadilla was delicious and we all enjoyed the fresh chips. The queso was basically just a cheese sauce. It really could've used some sort of chilis, tomato, cilantro, etc. to spice it up. Looking forward to ordering from here again!“
“The food is really good. I was not thrilled about our waiter she kept forgetting things and every time I would look at her. She was always eating and touching food without gloves. The food came out quickly and And the flavor was really good. I would totally go back for the food.“
“Went for a quick dinner and it was just that! Seated immediately, quiet spot. It be been before and had the same experience. This time I got the quesabirrias and the cheese was perfect. We also ordered chips & guacamole and chicken enchiladas with mole. Love this local spot for tacos, especially the “
“Out of the park every time. friendly staff quick service. Uplifting ambiance. && The food never disappointsKid-friendliness: Kids menusWheelchair accessibility: Rand that leads to a flat entranceway. Bathrooms are accessible as well if I recall (&& the hallway only FEELS tight but it’s spacious enough for 2 ppl to pass each other comfortably“
“10/10 across the board! Fast and delicious! The restaurant is small but mighty! Very welcoming and nicely decorated. The staff is very nice and loving. The food is made by order FRESH! The flavor is amazing and the amount of meat you get in the tacos won’t leave you disappointed. I ordered one of each (pastor, carne y pollo) each one was 10/10 dnt forget to squeeze that lime on top ;)Parking: Street parking only and it’s located on a busy street. Try to aim for side streets.Wheelchair accessibility: Restaurant does not have any stairs to enter the location which is wheelchair accessible for sure.“
“The customer service at this place was exceptional. The food was tasty, the environment was friendly and family oriented, and I really enjoyed the food. It was seasoned to maximum taste. I ate half of the menu, and when the bill came at the end, it was very affordable. I almost couldn’t believe it. I will highly recommend this place to anybody asking them selves. You will love it.“
“Never disappoints! The food is awesome! The cantina combo platter is fantastic. The ribs fall off the bone and spiced beautifully. The chicken wings are delicious! I finished with the tres leches cake with puréed berries. I love this place! The is the best bartender in the area.“
“Randomly stumbled upon this restaurant and decided to order lunch to go. Didn't really expect much since I've never heard of the place before. But I got the Al pastor taco and was shocked at how delicious it was! An order of 3 tacos was $12 and the tacos were pretty big and filling. My partner got the tongue taco and menudo soup which he said was the best he's ever tried. Highly recommend if you're ever in the area!“
“The truck is 40 minutes from me so I got there at 3:00pm on the dot on Tuesday. The truck was not there. I checked their Instagram for maybe an update but there wasn't one. I sat and waited in the car. (Btw there's a free parking lot and plenty free street parking). They finally arrived at 3:15pm and setup at 3:20pm. People lined up so fast. They took the first 5 orders then made them. I didn't have my order taken until 3:45pm. The lady taking orders was kind and sweet. She made sure I knew what I ordered so there were no mix ups. I ordered the Chicken Birria tacos & cantaloupe juice. 3 tacos are $15 and 1 juice is $5. They only take cash so come prepared. I didn't see an ATM around. I finally received my order at 4:05pm. I didn't eat it until I got home. The tacos were still crunchy and flavorful! 3 tacos comes with consume sauce to dip, onions, 1 jalapeno pepper and a side of spicy sauce (IDK what it was). I would recommend that they premade maybe 10 or 20 sets of tacos that way they will get their line down quicker. I understand things happen so there's a lot of reasons why they may have been late to open. But, I have seen other complaints on their Instagram of them not being there on time. At least post letting customers know that you will be there later. Other than that I would definitely recommend anyone to try their tacos if you are in the area. But if you're further away like me and want to go to pick up lunch "real quick," it won't be real quick! You're better off finding Birria tacos at a Mexican truck near you. I'm glad I tried them and had the time to wait!Parking: A lot of street parking and free parking lot under the overpass“
“Best authentic Mexican food in the area. We visit here several times a month. Love the complimentary chips! We love everything. Our favorites are: quesadilla (especially chicken or pork/pineapple). Tostadas, corn, rice!!!, veggies, burritos, chimichangas. The shrimp dishes are grossly overpriced. The other menu items are fairly priced. Drinks and desserts are great, too.“
