The south philly special just transported me places with the unexpected kick from the peppers and the flavors from the meat. This should be on the main menu I say.

Katrina Arey (Croswell)

Amazing!! Gets pretty crowded , cash only , but worth the wait! Some of the best Al pastor tacos in the city , and the specials are fun too!

Abigail Robertson

Tacos are amazing!! However I got the taco salad once and it was waay too spicy for me to eat (dressing had jalapeños in it or something) so FYI don't get that if you can't eat really spicy stuff :)

claarrr

Shrimp tacos are amazing! Tried the tostadas for the first time and they were wonderful as well . Made a great appetizer to share with the table.

Jessica Nambudiri

The impala are delish and one of the cheapest mixed drinks . Burritos are filling and the recommended taco amount is around 4, plus or minis one depending on how hungry you are.

Tristan Rhodeside

Great Mexican with a Philly flair. Awesome brunch with its own happy hour from 1-3.

Enrique

Gourmet tacos , green rice and spicy beans are delicious, margaritas & micheladas amazing...and hot waitresses (a bonus)...just what every restaurant should be like...

C Edwards

Make sure that that you call ahead to make sure they're open or check the website for hours. I went there on a Thursday afternoon and they were closed. I still haven't had a chance to go back.

David

All the tacos ! And all the tequila ! (You get a sangrita with your shot. Sip it.)

Phil Schmidt

The food is all good, nothing stands out because you can't go wrong. Great drinks too and a hip atmosphere .

Best nachos anywhere. If you're feeling bold, ask for them K&A style and they'll come over waffle fries instead of chips

Try the Al Pastor (Spanish for Shepherd Style): slow roasted pork topped with onion , pineapple , and cilantro over a corn tortilla for an authentic "street" style taco .

John Coyle

Mushroom taco , seitan , and soy chorizo were fantastic the pico de gallo is the best I've had in the city .
