I ordered in and picked up my 2 baleadas with chicken and all the fixings. The other option was chorizo, sadly they had no beef. Got home to 2 large baleadas and for the price of $15 not bad at all. Everything in it was good but the chicken. It was a bit dry and had lil taco seasonings on it not very authentic Honduran flavors. I'll be back and request if beef can be added or just get them without the meat. The beans were good and the tortilla was nice and fluffy. Overall it quelled my craving but that chicken left something to be desired!

So, unlike their NY locations this Philly location is what's called a ghost/cloud kitchen. Which…read morebasically means it is purely for takeout or deliveries only. There is no front counter staff and no dining area. It is inside a building with about 20 other ghost kitchens. The first time experience in this Philly location was less than pleasant -- there was 1 kiosk for ordering, and I was told the wait time was 10-20min. I got the text message after 22 min saying the order was ready, however, the order was not brought out to the counter until close to 10 min later after my text. There were other frustrated customers who ordered from other ghost kitchens and were waiting for a while. I ordered Brasil, El Toro, Reggaeton, and Bombay. The empanadas were a bit salty for my taste, but all of these were good. The empanadas have a lot of filling, they are generous and do not skimp. I would go back here, but I do hope it'll be a better experience next time.

Go here. Best empanadas I've ever had and it's not close. Get the mango juice. You're welcomeread more

While my friends rave about the black bean pupusas, I have to recommend the pork ones. Throw the pickled red onions directly on top imo. Enjoy!

We were very pleased to see that El Merkury had vegan options for many of their menu items, and we chose the back bean and jalapeño pupusa. The lady at the counter was very friendly and helpful, but service was quite slow despite the fact that it wasn't that busy and nothing needed to be hand made. The pupusas were a good size and the outer (shell? wrapping? bread?) had a great texture, but the filling was unbelievably bland: no seasoning, no hint of jalapeño. A bit disappointing for the price.

Had my order been delivered before it was cold, the review would likely be a star higher. But, when…read moreyou receive your delivery order over an hour late, food starts to get soggy in the styrofoam containers that the restaurant packs them into. I ordered two entrees. The first selection from the menu, Tacos del Pastor, al pastor tacos, topped with cilantro onions, a side of hot sauce, a lime, and cucumber for each. The tacos shells were homemade, and the al pastor had plenty of flavor. Three tacos come to an order, with two shells supporting each taco, and they're reasonably priced. The second entree, Fajitas Mix, is served with flour or corn tortillas on the side, with a mixture of chicken, beef and shrimp over a generous portion of rice, with a small portion of bean and a soggy mixture of lettuce, a sad attempt at coleslaw instead of what's listed on the menu as pico de gallo. The fajitas are cooked the traditional way, with peppers and onions. The ingredients are quality, with authentic Mexican flavors. A side of hot sauce, which you need to specify the heat, as is the case for tacos, is included. The entree is very reasonably priced. If I was ensured an on-time delivery, and the restaurant made an attempt to offset my inexcusably late first delivery, I'd likely order again. The corn tortillas were said to be gluten-free, from a call I made, prior to ordering, which offers an added bonus to include customers with allergies or insensitivity to gluten.

The food is outstanding. The pastelillos are perfectly crispy on the outside and packed with flavorful filling.

I was happy and excited to try fare and loved looking at the decor as I waited. They have chairs outside for you to chill and wait for your order because they do fry the pastelillos on the spot! Staff was helpful and you can see they are passionate. I ordered the 2 pastelillos with 1 side. I chose the beef and cheese and the mofongo jawn that has the mofongo and pernil. My side was the pickled yucca. I have to be honest! I loved the sizes and filling of the pastelillos. They do not skimp here on the fillings. The dough is light and perfectly crisp. The Mofongos jawn was a bit dry to me and although the garlic seasoning was good it was just too overpowering. All I tasted was garlic and I love garlic but that was super garlicky. The beef and cheese was good but a bit on the salty side. The yucca was well seasoned and delicious. It was given cold as a salad I was looking for it to be warm, the traditional way. It was still Bomb! I heated it up and the spices and pickling are certainly on point. I'll be back try some vegan options and the arroz con gandules. You can feel the
