Be highly vigilant if you should choose to give these grifters your money. I WAS a regular customer for years and just placed an order there for over $30 and included chips and salsa. I asked for a side of salsa to dip my burrito in (reasonable considering I dropped $6 for the chips). They felt it was ok to charge my credit card for the salsa $3.....the same salsa you get for free when you go into the restaurant. This was extremely disappointing/disingenuous, and when I tried correcting it with the restaurant, they removed my chips for $6 (which I actually wanted), but kept the $3 charge. Now they have blocked my number (extremely shady) and refuse to make it right. Additionally, it should be worth noting that the place has really gone down hill on cleanliness. I'm really unsure how they get away with health inspections, but they allow dirty little children to run freely throughout the kitchen while the family is cooking. It's loud and completely unsanitary. It's safe to say I will not he going back to support them, and I suggest anyone reading this to do the same.

Got take out and the food is sad. These were the worst tacos I’ve ever had. I frequent the El Limon in Conshohocken and they’re amazing, but these are atrocious. No flavor, horrible presentation. Al pastor looked like chorizo it was so burnt, the tinga had no flavor and neither did the barbacoa. Would never recommend going here to anybody. I should’ve gotten Taco Bell instead. They’re 10x better than this bland gross inedible food.

I love this place. While driving often times I’m outside of the city limits. I always seem to be able to find my favorite Mexican restaurant! Their food is great!!!! You should try it. I Love food.Vegetarian options: I don’t like the vegetarian options. It taste like frozen vegetables. However I long the Sopes and the Tostados are delicious!!! The Guacamole is great!!!! The beans and rice are delicious as is the free drink!!!!

I was in Philly for work and decided to try a more local place instead of a larger chain. I didn't know "tinga" was chicken and I asked if they had chicken. She rudely goes "Do you want chicken?" I asked if I could have my enchiladas striped with one of each of the 3 sauces and she told me no, you only get one. I'll never be back there or anyone other location. I make better enchiladas at home. I regret not going to Chilis across the street.

The food is delicious but every time we order from there, they mess up our order. Today, no chips with the chips, salsa, and guacamole ordered!

I really like the food, but they are just very skimpy at this location. The one in conshohocken is much better
