You must go if you’re in Philly. The barbacoa tacos, salsas, tortillas, and nopalitos are perfect.

Amazing food and service. Perfect spot for breakfast, lunch or dinner. You will love the ambience as well. A true Philadelphia community experience.

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.

They moved next door, the owner said their corner place lease had expired. Fantastic barbacoa tacos. Get the mix of the two meats, 0.5 kilos can feed three, order more tortillas if needed.

202312I was excited to eat after watching the Netflix show. I heard that there would be a long queue, but when we arrived at almost 11 o'clock on Saturday morning, there were plenty of seats! The taco is delicious and the mutton soup is very tender. It's a bit like Taiwan's braised mutton soup. I added a piece of cornbread when I checked out (watch the Netflix episode and they said that the corn used in the store was smuggled back from Mexico and grown, so it's super delicious) The result was the most amazing thing of the day! Super fragrant and delicious! I don’t like cornbread at all, but as I write this review three months later, I still want to eat another piece!I think the juice is too sweet. I probably won’t order it next time.

Simple dish and tiny menu. Overall worth a stop but the Barbacoa was definitely a little dry by our standards.
Loved it♡
