El Jarocho

No reason to give this less than 5 stars as a take out option. Portions were generous and it wasn't too expensive (a blessing these days). The staff was friendly inside and I can tell they're nice people. Whenever I walk by there's always a large group dining in the small but cozy space. Flautas were actually delicious and the queso transferred well to go! My friend loved her burrito. Will be back!

Most incredible steak burrito I have ever had. Nachos are the best. The chips are the good kind of chips. Service is so fast and reliable. I usually get it delivered in the winter but in the summer I eat in store. The ambiance is quiet and calm. So glad I found this place.

El Jarocho was easily one of the best authentic Mexican restaurants I ever tried. The tacos were outstanding as was the hospitality and vibe this restaurant has to offer. Very friendly staff and the prices were very much reasonable. If you're in South Philly you must give this place a try. 10/10 recommend

I bought the nachos without meat and burrito with Mexican sausage. Hefty portions, but everything I received lacked flavor. I didn't taste anything. It was filled with pico de gallo, meat, rice, and beans, and nothing had flavor. I appreciated how thick the tortillas were for the nachos, but nothing else was memorable. They have a sitting area and a bathroom to wash your hands, so that is a plus.

This little hole in the wall place is a MUST TRY - specifically if you're looking for good nachos that are ooey gooey and topped with steak that you'd kill for (follow @phillynachoes on IG for more). The food is authentic and you get so many salsas to choose from! And not to mention chips and salsa while you wait. Don't let the location stop you from going in.

I got the al pastor burrito, which was very yummy. Refreshing, didn't feel greasy. But they went super light on the al pastor meat since I barely tasted any in my burrito.My friend got the sopes and thought they were great. The masa cake was very high quality along with the pastor, but thought there was a bit too much lettuce Also the prices. keep. changing. so you don't know what the menu will look like when you go in. I still think the food was worth the price though. plus, free chips

A weekly take-out staple in our household. Never disappoints. My husband makes us order two bags of chips and salsa for two people because he won't share.

**Update**Food and Drink Ordered:* worth trying- [Tacos*]: During one of the subsequent time I came to El Jarocho, I ordered three of the shrimp tacos because you can't mix and match if you order shrimp. The shrimp tacos were pretty good; the shrimp was perfectly cooked and seasoned and not dry. - [Burrito Jarocho]: The shrimp wasn't spicy at all and the burrito was surprisingly bland despite all of the different ingredients in it. I had to eat it with one of the sauces that the order came with for some flavor. Would I go back? : Potentially. My husband really likes their guacamole haha. At this point, I've come here three times. I think, overall, the chicken tinga tacos and shrimp tacos taste the best here and the burritos are on the bland side.

I returned here today and had a very good Mexican burrito, with steak. As before, they brought chips and 2 salsas, one a creamy one. Seats at lunchtime were scarce, but I joined a group of 4 who were happy to share. I knocked off a star because, just like on my last visit, the bill was higher than what the menu said, $15 instead of $12. Some of that was tax, sure, but still, I hate surprises. So be ready for that.I just noticed they are using the 2019 picture I took as the lead photo atop this page. Yay for me.

All hail pink sauce! The food here is so good, I recommend the steak burrito with chips and plenty of pink sauce
