Delicious. Came here for the first time and came back again two days later because the shrimp quesadilla ($7 per tortilla) was just that good. Fresa burrito ($18) was also great, and I love the way they make their guac ($7). Inside seating is tight but they do have some outdoor seating as well. All the seats are barstools though. Service was fairly fast and friendly. My only complaint would be the prices-- it's a causal spot so it feels a bit extreme to pay $18 for a burrito but it had ribeye and shrimp so it was incredibly filling and flavorful.

Yup! This place is great. There isn't a lot of seating but the hospitality is great here. We ordered an al pastor taco, shrimp taco, and Campechana quesadilla. Service was quick and it was nice how fresh the al pastor was. The shrimp taco was spicy which was very nice. The al pastor was very juicy. Hands down the Campechana quesadilla was my favorite thing in the menu. It was basically al pastor with cactus. I really liked the juiciness of the cactus. It was all so good that we forgot to put on our sauces.The place offers a ton of beverage options. From beer to flavored glass soda bottles to coffee. I opted for a coffee and it was amazing! They have a cafe style machine that works very well. We also got a guava soda just like you can pick up at a Mexican convenient store. The place also has to good amount of dessert which we both opt out of. There are donuts, pastries, etc.At the end of the meal we returned our trays to the front.

Truly a hidden gem, cannot recommend more! My friend told me to come here because she really enjoyed it the first time she went so we stopped by for a quick bite and I already can't wait to go back and try everything on the menu. The shrimp quesadilla was phenomenal, the marinade was perfect. Probably some of the most authentic Mexican I've had in Philly. Their homemade salsas are delicious too. The place is super small and good for take out, and the workers were super sweet and our food came out quickly. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area, and even going out of your way for

Who would have thought there would be such great tacos in this part of Philly?We had a sampling of the al pastor, asada, and pollo adobado tacos and the guacamole. The al pastor was my favorite, but all of the meats were well marinated, moist, and full of flavor. The guacamole and chips was the star. Homemade chips and guacamole loaded with tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro. Not that mostly mashed avocado you get from most places. Prices are more than reasonable.Staff was very kind and our food came out quickly. I appreciated the staff also keeping an eye on people prowling around the outside of the store, where we were sitting at one of the tables outside enjoying our meal.

Second time going. Small as always but decided to eat in. The atmosphere was cramped but comfortable. Ordered the al pastor tacos, al pastor quesadilla, and cactus quesadilla. Took 15 mins for the food to be delivered but so well the wait. We gobbled up our orders quickly, too fast to even take pictures. The cost was cheap for two to boot.

Loved their guacamole! Had a nice little spice to it. We got takeout but service was very friendly! Cute little local spot.

Food: i enjoyed coming here for the first time and the flavor is definitely there. Ordered the quintessential al pastor and appreciate the bursts of flavors. They didnt use any pineapples for my al pastor, which is a bummer and was hoping the meat would be on the juicier side Service: super kind and attentive, both the front cashier and the cook.Ambiance: quaint but have a few seatings inside and out. Overall, 8/10.

An absolutely delightful taco place that I will be returning to every time I pass by the neighborhood. The ribeye steak tacos were absolutely awesome, as were the pastor and chicken tacos. All fresh, right off the spit/grill and wonderfully complimented by the three sauces available. All at a reasonable price for the quality offered, this is definitely one of the best tacos I've had in Philadelphia.Decor is nice with outdoor seating, and the owner was super friendly with prompt service. Not sure what else there is to say really, just a very good spot for tacos. I might try the quesadillas next time too!

The closes thing you can get to LA style burrito and tacos. Only thing i didn't like was not doubling up on the tortilla. Probably my current favorite taco joint here in philly. I hope they add more to the menu.I had all the tacos and they were fresh, and flavorful. had the salsa out for your liking to top off.the burrito was my favorite, none of that nasty soggy lettuce in, it tasted like a burrito from california . The breakfast burrito and the regular rib eye steak were damn good!

Wow..This place was crazy good! Hands down best tacos I've had in Philly and easily EASILY the best burrito I've ever had. It was massive. The picture I took was only half of it and it was unbelievably good. The grilled burrito, charred shrimp and grilled steak was so flavorful. Fresh cilantro and rice too it was next level. Definitely the best thing we got. Followed closely by the asada and pollo asado tacos. The ingredients are so fresh! The meat was cooked perfectly and had so much flavor! The Birria tacos were really good but the burrito and asada tacos beat them out in my opinion! The consome was nice and flavorful and the meat was super juicy and tender.There was one guy working the whole thing, service was fairly quick considering he was taking orders and making the food! Ambiance was nice, just a little shop with a couple seats. It's more of a quick stop and eat spot than a sit down. There's just barstool and a few ledges but genuinely worked out perfectly for the two of us. I can't recommend this place enough! It was delicious
