I would honestly give this place more than five stars if I could. This is hands down the best food I've had since my exes' mom (seriously Donna I would pay money for your pernil) One of my favorite things about the place is the secret grotto in the back of the restaurant, it feels like you're eating on a private island. The service was great too, server was very polite and put up with my terrible pronunciations, and then there was the food!!!! Holy hell what a good meal, the flavors were insane!!! Pernil with white rice, a super simple dish that was bursting with flavor. No salt, pepper, or any extra seasoning needed. Even typing this now, I wish they were open. Do yourself a favor, GO HERE!!! Your tastebuds will thank you read more

Got take out here, it was fantastic. The service was very quick, and the birria tacos were delicious. read more

(July 2025) Where do I even begin. I flew back home for a few days in July and my sister told me I had to try this place before my flight took off. So literally, right before heading to the airport we made a stop at this restaurant and OMGosh, I'm so glad we did. Everything was delicious. From the coffee to the sauce. It was delicious. We ordered so much food between the two of us and I'm so glad we did. My left overs held me over during my 6 hour delay at the airport.... Anyway, the food was AMAZING! The service was great and the ambiance was beautiful. When I go back home again for another visit I'm definitely asking to come here again. Awesome job to the cooks and staff. THANK YOU Blessings. Let me know if the pictures were helpful. read more

TL:DR = Great staff but food is overhyped in other reviews. Food is about 3.5 stars, service is 4 so rounding up. All the staff were very friendly. For a Sunday night the place was busy, all of the tables occupied and there was a steady stream of take out/grub hub orders going out the door the entire time. Run down for food is as follows: Good - The stand out items for our meal were the beef birria tacos and the passion fruit drink made in house. Just Ok - Pineapple drink was not too sweet The chicken meat in the other birria was bland but forgivable since it came with the consume. Bad - The shrimp fajitas were lacking seasoning altogether and the strawberry drink was overly sweet. All-in-all not a bad dinner but since it isn't close to my home not sure I'll wander back. read more

Delish. You wouldn't expect it's location to be the new go to spot for Mexican food. The complimentary chips and salsas (green and red) were really good. The carne asada was really tender. The shrimp fajitas were yum and definitely would recommend the caramel churros for dessert. read more

Small place in a plaza. The place current is only take out. The staff was friendly and helpful. The carne asada was pretty good. The rice had great flavor, the steak was decently seasoned, but was a bit over cooked and chewy. This is typical usually due to cultural preferences so it isn't too bad. Only thing is just a bit more veggies would be nice. Like the peppers and onions. The birria tacos was pretty good. Nicely cooked with a crispy outside. The meat was beef and pretty well seasoned. The soup is definitely what makes this worth it. A rich broth full of flavor that gets soaked into the taco. The elote was decent.. Sweet corn lightly seasoned with Chile powder and cheese. Some more Chile powder would be nice and it was missing a little saltiness that usually comes with cotija cheese. Nonetheless a nice little treat. Then everyone's favorite part of the meal dessert. The tres leches was a delicious blend of sweetness with some cinnamon on top to accompany it. It was moist and just melts in your mouth. Delicious! All in all and amazing place with great portions and decent value. I would certainly come back for more! read more

Visited Asadero los tios for taco Tuesday. This is a neighborhood restaurant located in Northeast Philly. Keep an eye out or you'll drive right past the restaurant. There is a small parking lot and on street parking. Upon entering the venue we were greeted by an employee who asked if we wanted to done in or order take out. We opted for take out and he provided us with a menu. We picked the beef birria tacos, and Al pastor quesadilla. We sat and waited at a table while our food was being prepared. The restaurant was clean and I got a glimpse of the outdoor patio that others had mentioned in their reviews. I noticed a board with daily specials and asked my wife if she was up to trying the cow tongue tacos! She replied no. Our food was done pretty quickly and we went home to eat. Everything looked delicious upon unboxing. We had lime, onion, cilantro, and two sauces. The birria tacos had plenty of consommé. The quesadilla was yummy. It was filled with plenty of meat, tomato, lettuce and cheese. The birria taco was tasty, but the beef could have been a little more tender. I look forward to going back and sitting at the outside patio while trying some new menu items. read more

Terrible food experience and the place was absolutely filthy I highly do not recommend this place .. the service gave off mean vibes :/

Unfortunately I have had not one bad experience, there have been 3, the last one today in which when I wanted to place the order by phone they did not answer until after half an hour and they took my order wrong, inconveniences when paying, they charged twice and when I was Ready to eat, I realized that they had given me something else that I had not asked for. I January they sold me a picadera, I ask for the big one that told me is is for 6 or 7 person so I ordered 2 when I have my friends at home to eat I opened and had of the tray was filled with French fries and the rest of the tray a few pieces of chorizo and meat that was only enough for about 2 people I was very embarrassed with my friends I can continue but I'm not going to waste my time I don't recommend this place at all read more

Love love love this place! So the food is great, I had the steak quesadilla, shrimp tacos and stuffed plantains! It was all so yummy! I literally ordered it and it came hot. I love when the food is still hot when I receive it! Can't wait to order again! Literally such an awesome gem up here in the northeast! I will be ordering again! read more

It's sad when a Mexican restaurant is not even as good as Chipotle. Chipotle may not have the best flavors or authentic basic ingredients but at least I know it's fresh. When I go to a Mexican place, I except the place to be better than Chipotle. We came late, about an hour before they closed (if this is the reason for my bad experience, I'd understand). The staff was super friendly and nice. I've ordered a steak burrito and we also ordered birria Tacos & chicken pastalillos. Everything inside my burrito was old and over cooked, barely had any flavors and looked super tired. The tacos had good texture but the beef inside of them again, tasted old and tired. Unfortunately, I cannot justify going there instead of the closest Chipotle. And I am not a chipotle fan. read more

This is my go-to restaurant in NE Philly for Birria Tacos. I started ordering from them back in 2021 when they were fairly new to the area. I stumbled upon them by accident on GrubHub when I lived in the area. I went to their location the next day and I've made it a point to visit them whenever I'm in philly. Their beef birria tacos are the best I've had in the area. They serve you 3 delicious generously shredded beef filled tacos along side their amazing consommé dipping sauce, topped with onions, cilantro & lime on the side. This dish is robust in flavor and packs a big punch when you combine everything together. The beef is well seasoned and not dry. The tacos have a nice balance of meat & cheese and they are not stingy about their portions. If you are ever in NE Philly, give them a try. They offer dine-in options. You will not be disappointed. Their service is prompt & efficient. They have a wide range on their menu of other items to try. I've also had their chicken & beef empanadas and homemade guacamole, all which I love. Their delicious tres leche cake is worth a try as well. Overall their birria tacos is a 10/10 for me. Plus 1 platter is less than $20. It's a win every time I've ordered it read more

My boyfriend lives nearby and had been raving about this place. We ordered takeout the other day and I got to try them for the first time. The order was ready pretty fast, and everything was very yummy. The standout for me was the birria tacos, which I unfortunately only got to try a bite of since my boyfriend ordered them. I got the shrimp burrito which was hearty and also very good. I will most certainly return and will be ordering those birria tacos for myself next time. read more

Found this place by recommendation of a friend ! It's so awesome to see how this place has grown. This place started out as a Food truck in North Philly and now they've expanded to the Northeast! The food has always been great and i have been going to them for years! Today i tried to the steak Torta and it was so good ! I wanna try more things as they've also expanded their menu from what was being served on the food truck! I will be back for more ! read more

Best food in the area. Absolutely incredible every single item available is delicious!!! I would give 5 / 5 however none of the staff speak much English so it's impossible to order there. I always have to order off of the apps which costs more per item and doesn't have a lot of items available like they do when you order in person or over phone. It's very difficult to order most of the time and the order is either wrong or misinterpreted. Either way I will eat there again read more

I ordered over ubereats so maybe this food just doesnt travel well, but i reheated my tacos to get them crispy and it was still mid. couldnt really finish. the soup that the 3 tacos came with though? forget about it so good i basically drank it and covered my rice with the rest. got yellow rice it was lacking in flavor but soft/fresh tasting. got sweet plantains they weren't sweet, and were dry. oh and i got a chicken patty, it was oddly lacking in chicken filling, but the chicken filling that was present was good/fresh, and the patty itself was very yummy. so idk, maybe my expectations were too high based on these over hyped reviews, and/or maybe the food is better if you eat in. read more

Food was very tasty. Service was wonderful. Prices are great! The outside patio is very nice! I will definitely return.

Is the craving real for something authentic? This might be the spot if you're looking for something cheap and delicious! We came here for takeout during lunch. We ordered bistec tacos, el pastor tacos and a lunch special of pork ribs. We had also ordered an order of coconut pudding but we were notified that it had went bad and if we wanted flan instead which we were definitely up for it. The food was quick and took about 15 minutes or so. Let's start with my favorites, flan and el pastor! The flan had an authentic taste which was really sweet but with a hint of burnt which is what flan should be all about. I also loved el pastor tacos which were flavorful. Don't forget the green sauce with this!!! The rice from the lunch special was bland and the amount of meat in each taco was also minimal. My husband also didn't like the shells but I thought that they were fine. Definitely will be back to try other dishes. read more
