    I got shrimp tacos and a hibiscus agua Fresca for lunch and they were hands down the best tacos I have ever had. Super nice people and also reasonably priced. thank you!!

    Chicken Tacos!! OMG!!

    There's nothing like a good authentic taco and this food truck provides that experience. I don't live to far from this truck and I drive pass it all the time while working. Today I decided to stop and grab some tacos even though it's raining. Glad I did too! I ordered 3 chicken tacos and they were prepared fast and hot. Like, I actually watched him cook it and it was reasonably fast for a food truck. I see myself going to this truck more often instead of making a run for the border! It's a bit more money and well worth it. Check me out if you love a good taco!

    Dos Hermanos is a Mexican food truck located primarily in University City. Their menu reads "AUTHENTIC MEXICAN CUISINE" at the bottom. In my opinion, there's a big difference between authentic tacos and fast food tacos. Authentic tacos are full of flavor and have just the right amount of spices to kick things up a notch. Fast food tacos are what you would get from Taco Bell. I never have and never will eat at Taco Bell (don't @ me). I arrived at the truck around 12:30pm and was instantly greeted by the friendly staff. What immediately stood out to me on the menu was their deal of three tacos for $9.00. The tacos are served with your choice of meat or vegetable filling, chopped onions, cilantro, and your choice of mild or spicy salsa. There were a lot of unique filling options but I decided to go with carnitas, which is pulled pork if you are unfamiliar with the term. They also serve burritos, shrimp tacos, and homemade tortilla chips with salsa. The staff here is very quick to fulfill their orders. Even with more and more people stopping by to order, I don't even think I had to wait five minutes for my food. The tacos were served inside two soft shell tortillas instead of one. I can't tell you how many times I've ordered soft shell tacos and had them fall apart almost instantly. Typically, the tortilla absorbs the juices and after a few bites, eventually falls apart. With Dos Hermanos' tacos, you'll never have that problem. The inner tortilla absorbs the juices while the outer tortilla remains intact. I think this was the first time in years that I didn't need a fork to finish my tacos. The flavor of the pulled pork is what you'd expect from a high quality BBQ restaurant. It's very savory and pairs well with the onions, cilantro, and salsa. I recommend squeezing some juice from the lime slices for that extra tangy kick. As I stated earlier in my post, there's a big difference between authentic and fast food tacos. In my opinion, Dos Hermanos' tacos are 100% authentic and easily rival what you would expect from a sit-down Mexican restaurant. I want to give a shout out to the staff as well, not only for being quick, but for being friendly and accommodating as well. Before I was even in front of the truck, I was greeted by one of the workers and didn't have to wait around for service. In my book, that goes a long way because it makes the experience even better.

    Just look and salivate

    Dos Hermanos are you guys looking for a step brother, maybe call it Tres Hermanos? Think about it, I'll break out the Agave at the next gathering. These guys are simply awesome, probably some of the freshest ingredients used coming out of a food truck . Dos Hermanos is one of the heavy hitters at any Night Market event. If you see this truck , just drop everything and get in that line. If and when you do see these guys in Philly , I don't care what is on your agenda you need to alter it so you can get a fresh taco. I will say this , the only time I will accept any kind of fruit in my meal will be in an Al Pastor. A lightly grilled pineapple mixed with that pork with those spices, cilantro, freshly squeezed lime and their salsa verde (green salsa) will make me do a shimmy. A spicy, lets kick it up a notch with the occasional "wheew" is what you'd be saying. Flavors upon flavors blowing your taste buds up like it was Cinqo De Mayo! Ok I just got chills just thinking about it, remembering my pure enjoyment from this truck. You know what else will have you doing a Mexican hat dance in the streets is their Chorizo and Carne Asada tacos ! Eye-Chi-Wow-Wa they are simply irresistible , now you know why there is a line just to get at that window. Dos Hermanos makes a guacamole that is on point. Get their chips , squeeze some lime over them, and destroy that guacamole. Hey also if you add some pico de gallo to the guac you just brought this to a whole different level. You're welcome by the way. Dos Hermanos you guys are friggin fantastic. Keep up the good work, and think about adding me to the family. Every family needs an Italian in their circle.

    I came here to visit food trucks around Drexel because I was off that day. I came across this food truck because the reviews were great. There was about 2 ppl in front of me ordering food- My order was taken rather quickly. I ordered a simple cheese quesadilla, nothing else. However I waited about 25 minutes to get my order. Turns out plenty of people order online. Had I known it was going to be this long of a wait I would not have ordered from here. But it was a good quesadilla and the servers were friendly. Watch out for the lines-

    Carnitas torta
    Kira K.

    I always walk by here, and I love Mexican food, so the other day I decided to try it. I got the torta with carnitas. Big portion, and tasted pretty authentic! Their chips and guacamole is really good as well. For $5, you get a bag of chips and a lot of guacamole! My only complaint is that they only take cash. I will definitely be trying the burrito, and the tacos here too :)

    Chicken tostadas
    Urvashi G.

    Can't say enough good things about this mexican food truck! Positively, the best food I ever had. I have been eating out here for almost three months now and I am a die hard fan. Though they are known for their tacos (3 for $8). I have also tried their chicken tinga tostadas (1 for $3). I remember I bought three the first time and took the food home. And once I was done eating, I wanted more. They were so delicious and perfect, that I couldn't stop myself from going out again and getting 3 more immediately. I saved some for dinner from the second batch. Best tostadas ever. I TOTALLY pigged out that day and don't regret any bit of it. Argh! I wish they would visit everyday at Drexel University, so I don't have to wait for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday every week. They are active on social medias like Facebook and Instagram and post whenever they are visiting with timings. I am always checking their facebook page to know if they are here or not. They are quick in replying on Facebook as well, if you want to ask any questions. I think the most I will miss out Philadelphia is this food truck. I am their FOREVER food fan!! The price is reasonable, affordable and the people are super friendly and helpful. Fresh food, great meat and amazing flavor. Love Love Love this food truck. MUST TRY, if you haven't already.

    Chicken Tacos!

    I happened to be in University City and give one of the food trucks a try. Dos Hermanos looked promising and it was absolutely the right decision. The tacos here are mind blowing and I would say better than any other place in Philly including fancy restaurants and at such reasonable prices. There are multiple options to choose from - grilled chicken, chicken in chipotle sauce, carnitas and shrimp. They also had some specials like batter fried tilapia, scallops, tuna and salmon. We ordered the grilled chicken, chipotle chicken, shrimp and carnitas. The spicy salsa topping is amazing! I am surely going back again for my taco fix.

    Having fast tacos for pretty cheap and great quality in the heart of University City is a godsend. Now, I've visted Dos Hermanos many of times since university matriculation, but I don't think I strayed away from my usual Carnitas or chicken quesadillas. There is love laced between the pork and pineapple in the tacos al pastor. No joke, I saw it. Okay, so maybe it was just sauce, but this summer office worker wanted to skip that afternoon meeting and go back for seconds. I refrained, but I will be back.

The meat in the tacos was so dry that it was hard to chew and swallow. Some of the pieces were cooked to a crisp. No amount of salsa could make them better. I'm sorry I didn't take photos of the tacos, but trust me me I get no pleasure from leaving a bad review for this place; I am not lying or exaggerating. I thought they were going to be one of our local gems. I choked down a half a taco, gave the rest to my husband and he couldn't eat them either. The churros actually had raw batter in the middle and the outside was rubbery and hard at the same time. You could barely bite through it. I'm a cook and I know that that is about keeping the oil at an even temperature to get the inside done and not overcook the outside. Someone in the kitchen did not know what they were doing. The thing is, I have had their food before and it was pretty good. I don't know if there is a new chef or what happened, but I can't trust them after this experience.

Good: old fashioned, tri-mix of guac (liked the truffle one), steak tacos. Not so good:coco tartare app, I thought most of the other tacos were tried were very okay for the price and would not recommend (shrimp, pastor (one of my least favorite versions of pastor), one with habaenro (not spicy at all). Would have enjoyed some actual spicy salsa to go with it. Overall, I sadly can't really recommend it.

    Honestly El Rey is great!…read more As a Los Angeles native, Mexican food is always a "not as good as California" affair, and with that bar, it's hard to find anything that holds a candle. But El Rey is good in its own right, taking familiar foods and flavors, with a bit of a fancier twist, and making a good meal that I love to eat and enjoy! Seating and service here is friendly and prompt. Even when it's pretty loud and seems packed, there are always a handful of open tables available, where we've usually been able to be seated almost immediately. Such was the case this evening. We were on a bit of a time crunch so we ordered immediately and our food came out so fast that the waiter for our table was surprised as the food beat him with our napkins to the table. We ordered the Tuna Tostada and the Yucatan Spiced Chicken Fajitas. Both were amazing! Good thing for our tight timeline, the food was gone as fast as it came. The waiter helpfully recommend the house hot sauce, which was certainly spicy and a good compliment on our fajitas. Overall, a great place to dine for Mexican-inspired! Laying aside my California bias, El Rey is a fun time every time we come.

I hadn't been to El Rey in years, but we scored last-minute Valentine's reservations and WOW. The vibe was lively, warm, and perfect for a fun night out. - Let's talk about these STEAK TACOS . Perfectly seasoned, tender, flavorful -- the kind of bite that makes you close your eyes for a second. They were so good I came back two days later just for them. That's not a craving... that's infatuation. - The Chayote Salad completely surprised me. Fresh, bright, and paired with their homemade hot sauce? My palate was awakened. I even brought it home (with dressing and hot sauce on the side) and it still hit! Speaking of heat -- if you love spicy food, ASK for their homemade hot sauce. It's bold, fiery, and addictive. I genuinely want a bottle for home. Service? 10/10. From the manager to the hosts to the bartender -- everyone was kind, attentive, and patient. They even remembered me from Valentine's Day, which says everything about how they treat their guests. Bathroom Check: Clean? Yes. Cute ambiance? Yes. Great mirror for photos? Absolutely. And again -- CLEAN. El Rey, I'll be back soon

There were booths, tables and bar seating available with Wonder Years playing on a few TVs with warm lighting and the incandescent Christmas lights that are reminiscent of Grandma's house (bonus points for nostalgia!) I requested a booth and she promptly sat me. She brought me water, menus and explained the specials to me. As I perused the menu, I was overwhelmed with the options available to me. I ultimately landed on one of the dinner specials (Cabernet braised brisket with a side of carrots & buttery mashed potatoes), chips & salsa and a Paloma. Chips landed first and while both salsas were fresh, I still felt the need to add salt. (Everyone's palate is different) Food & drink arrived simultaneously. Paloma was made strong but tasted more like a classic margarita as opposed to the tang of grapefruit that comes with a Paloma. Still good! The food was essentially cold & looked like it had been sitting for awhile being served to me but all the flavors were there. The brisket fell apart, I didn't even need a knife to cut it. The carrots were tender and the mashed potatoes were buttery. I would 1000% go back for the drinks and service, however I may get something different on the menu.
