Tacos were on the money. It was so delicious. I loved the atmosphere. I recommend to try this place out.

To be honest I have never tried them , however from my understanding this place is the best kept secret on 9th Street Amazing tacos and fair prices ?

You NEED these tacos in your life, I’m extremely happy I came across this taqueria, it’s no frills, just a counter that you place/pickup your order and some of the best damn tacos I’ve had in the city. They do not skimp on the portions (there is a little too much fat in the carnitas sometimes but I’m just very sensitive to the mouthfeel however out of 5 friends that have all had them only one other said she noticed it but it didn’t bother her) the taste and quality of them put them right up in my top 5 tacos in phila. The carnitas are perfectly crispy on the outside and tender and flavorful inside. They even include a grilled jalapeño and spring onion and limes of course! Even their sauces are fresh and delicious. Oh and did I mention they are open late?! Place your order in advance as they get busy. You will not be disappointed. Btw save yourself a $1 and bring your own bag, which I think is funny that they sell a plastic bag to you while we have a plastic bag ban in effect ?

This place is my boyfriend's favorite and I tried for the first time and love the food in here.All the food i ordered was delicious.

I have no problem crossing the bridge early in the morning to avoid any crowds at my favorite taqueria in the area. While some people think ten a.m. is too early for tacos, I sit outside wondering why they won't open earlier. Also, don't sleep on the lengua, you'll thank me later.

Ordered a beef tongue burrito, despite being short compared to what you would expect from places like Chipotle it was still a very generous portion with a nice blend of lettuce, rice, beans, cheese and obviously the tender tongue. Would recommend

you know it’s real when they got the little table/chair setup out front. cash only but there’s an ATM inside. the tacos and burritos are some of the best philly has to offer and they also got some tasty tamales

Fast, friendly service; great food. I got the al pastor tacos for breakfast on a cold day, and they totally hit the spot: filling, but with plenty of veggies so you don't just feel like you need a pork nap after.

I highly recommend this restaurant. The food quality is superb and the owner is very friendly. Thank you for providing exceptional service to the community. Have a Blessed day....

THE GODS OF TACOS IN SOUTH PHILLY!! No lie they’re the best hands down. It’s a super plus they close at 4 am on the weekend so when you leave the bar/club drunk……. these tacos will hit the spot!
