We stumbled on this place for a late lunch and we weren't alone. There was no wait but plenty of people there at 2pm in a weekday. The burritos are huge and my 12 year old and ai should have shared one! The chips are so yummy but the salsa is HOT! One thing that I'm taking a star off for... the music is soooo loud! I couldn't have a convo and it was affecting my appetite. Also they needed to keep the water coming. read more

This Mexican restaurant is chefs kiss. Me & my friend kept walking by it and finally decided to stop in & I'm so glad we did. It was small and quaint, with pretty decent service. I had yet to find a place that made flavorful Birria, but this place hit & did not miss. read more

Absolutely demolished a delicious Chorizo Burrito from here. Great spot for some quick authentic Mexican food only a few blocks from where I work. Was pleasantly surprised by how quick and attentive the service was as well--even offered complimentary chips and salsa the moment I sat down. Overall great food and experience read more

My coworker and I were excited to hear about Don Barriga opening near our work as our Mexican choices are rather slim in the area. We heard some good things about the food and decided to give it a try for lunch today. We got there just before 12pm and that was good because once we were seated in our booth, the relatively small restaurant filled up quickly. The four or five booths and the 4-top tables were filled and then people were constantly coming in to pick up their to-go orders. Don Barriga Mexican Grill has a very extensive menu and they have a separate menu (which is also online) for breakfast options although they don't open until 10am. All the choices looked good. My friend went with a chicken quesadilla and I had the Don Barriga Fajitas which comes with chicken, steak, and shrimp. I also got a side guacamole. Once seated, we were served chips with green and red sauces. The red was spicy! The green not as much. A glass bottle of cold water was also served which was needed for that red sauce. We needed a second bottle! The triangle chips were crunchy, not stale or over-salted, and we ate too many before our lunch came. My fajitas came out steaming hot on the skillet and had a lot of flavor and seasoning. They came with a small side of Mexican rice, four slices of avocado, and four flour tortillas. There was more than an abundance of food to fill up the tortillas. Even asking for a to-go container, the skillet was still too hot to the touch to handle and I had to create a potholder of napkins to pick it up to put in the container. The guacamole was excellent. Rice was nothing special. My friend liked her super-sized quesadilla but forgot to ask for it without sour cream which there was a lot of in and on it. It had a lot of chicken and lettuce and cheese. Cheese was the only topping my fajitas did not come with that I would have liked. My friend ate half and I took the other half home. She enjoyed it but was not ecstatic about her food. I really liked mine. Overall, very pleased with Don Barriga Mexican Grill. Our server was pleasant and helpful. If we were in the mood for Mexican again, this is a great choice. It is a little on the expensive side. $22 for the fajitas, $14 for the Quesadilla, $7 for the side of guacamole. $46.44 not including tip for lunch today. We hope Don Barriga Mexican Grill has a nice log life on Chestnut Street. Good Luck! read more

Had been to the UCity don barriga, so I knew the food would be good, but this spot was next level. Free chips! That's it. The ambience is really fun, and there's a surprising amount of seating inside. Will deffo be going again read more

I can only speak to the food I received via Uber Eats, but for $15 I would really like some protein. This is supposed to be a ground beef burrito but it's all rice! The chips were quality as was the salsa, but unimpressed with the burrito. And I guess we'll try something else considering the reviews are so strong because I'm not impressed with this order at all. read more

Don Barriga Mexican Grill - Very disappointed! It's literally all rice and a tiny bit of ground beef and beans. For $15 I would love some protein. - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

First we asked for ice and the waiter walked away well rolling her eyes. Then they gave it to us in a bucket. There was gum under the table chips on my seat, and the food was mid. Taco Bell is even better. The service was horrible the food was mid and the table was disgusting then to top it all off they charged us extra for beans we didn't even order! read more

Great authentic Mexican food. Service was quick & friendly & it is a great lunch stop. It is definitely much busier around lunchtime then dinner time. There's no bar & the inside is kind of small. Located right near UPenn & Jefferson. The food was so fresh & bursting with flavors. read more

Don Barriga Mexican Grill - Flan - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I visited Don Barriga for a weekday dinner with a friend. We arrived close to 9PM; the restaurant was pretty quiet since we were past the weeknight dinner rush. The employees brought over some complementary chips and salsa trio shortly after we sat. The green salsa was much better than others I've had; it tasted incredibly fresh and flavorful. We ordered a few entrees to share: the Birria Tacos, Chicken Quesadilla, and Steak Fajitas. Everything arrived within less than 15 minutes. The Birria Tacos were average; the consommé was quite bland compared to others I've had. The Quesadilla was incredibly fresh and authentic. Instead of being served an average packaged tortilla, the outer layer was a thicker homemade corn dough. It held the filling very well unlike many thinner tortillas that easily rip. The Steak Fajitas were far better than the average. Instead of the typical thick steak strips, this steak was a thinner ribeye. It was also seasoned very well and held flavor even without adding toppings/condiments. Overall, we really enjoyed our visit here. The food was very good quality; the employees gave us friendly and consistent service. I can definitely see myself coming back to dine in the future. read more

We ordered takeout on a Sunday evening from here, which was very quick and packaged very nicely! We tried the pastor and birria tacos and the mazatlan salad. The tacos were pretty good, not the best I've had in the city, but solid. The shrimp in the mazatlan salad though were fantastic and came with a lime-vinegar dressing that I could drink. We would eat here again since it's closer to us than other spots but wouldn't be our preference for birria. read more

This place was okay. I had a steak burrito that was a bit dry and lacking in flavor, but the guac was really good. If you're looking for simple, basic Mexican food, this spot works. read more

Amazing food, a warm relaxing atmosphere and friendly service. The sope (I got it plain) is amazing as is the nachos and the veggie tacos. And oh yes, the margarita is perfect! read more

Got the birria tacos. Delicious. Would highly recommend this place. Cute and not too pricy.

I walked in and ordered! To start the customer service was a 10 ! Totally exceptional, the young guy at the counter had the best manner and was very easy to talk. Very good and pleasant encounter. Now the food on the other hand lack flavor and was nothing to write home about. In other word I wasn't impressed! The ambiance was calm and welcoming. I still wasn't happy with the food and most likely won't go back. read more

Great place for Mexican food in Philly! As well as the usual Mexican flair of burritos, enchiladas, quesadillas and fajitas, they have a wide variety of Mexican sandwiches, and some other things like Mexican soups. The staff is very friendly, and the food is fantastic, and prices are reasonable for the amount you get. All in all, it was a very satisfying place to eat, and I plan to return frequently. read more

A lot of rice in my uber order, not many beans. Chicken enchiladas with green sauce were ok, but very salty. Lots of mozzarella cheese, way too much. Finally, they didn't include my bottled water with my Uber delivery. read more

The food was absolutely delicious. Easily one of the best places in Philly. I wish it got more street traffic because this place would be PACKED. We got the enchiladas with steak, chicken Flautas, street corn, and churros. Would come back again and again. read more

We stopped here for lunch looking for some great Mexican food, and we were thrilled! The service was top-notch, very kind, personal, and attentive. The food was delicious! Started with some chips and both mild and spicy homemade salsa, all excellent. We had four different quesadillas and a burrito, all prepared to perfection. The meat was plentiful and cooked deliciously. Presentation was excellent. Servings were generous and the price was extremely fair for the size! The gentleman who took such good care of us told us it was family recipes when we mentioned how good everything was. Knowing we were supporting a family business made a great meal even better. The space itself pristine-level clean, bright, with colorful murals on the wall and ample seating. It's a great stop that's very close to Independence Park attractions, and is an easy mid-day lunch walk for a break or a dinner at the end of the day. There is a second location in University City we're looking forward to visiting during a college visit in a couple of weeks! read more
