Reasonable offering for TooGoodToGo. Some sandwich that looks fun to try. Maybe a vegetarian version of a torto al pastor. (I had to do some random research to come up with that lol)? The website seems down or no longer working for the restaurant. There is no inside seating. I sense food quality and price here is reasonable - maybe a bit of a "hole in the wall" so to speak. Staff was nice and noticed my Poe hoodie. Not sure if he knew the artist Poe but we couldn't talk much cause he and the restaurant was busy. Parking is very difficult on a Friday night here and probably the weekend is the same. read more

Stopped here after visiting a local play place with my son. We ordered takeout online and waited for only about 10 mins. The food is super quick! We ordered a chicken quesadilla, chicken burrito, vegan tinga tacos and shrimp tacos. With tip everything came to about $50. I really don't know if that's good or bad these days. This scoring included in this review is squarely based on the taste of the food. What I appreciated is that every item came woth pico de Gallo, salsa Verde, crema and guacamole. We thought everything was just okay. The burrito tasted more like a grilled cheese sandwich with guacamole to me. I wanted more cumin or paprika or oregano. There wasn't much beyond spice on the tacos. Not that they were bad but they didn't have unique or nuanced flavors. This feels like a good spot for late night tacos maybe but it was just okay for us. read more

This is my favorite Mexican spot in the Fishtown/NoLibs area. The birria is incredible and to die for. Online ordering through Toast is great and super convenient. I love that the menu is small and thoughtful. Everything I've ordered so far has beee a huge hit. Easily a highlight in the city. read more

We ordered in the restaurant and paid and then the guy told us it would be 25 minutes. There were so many uber eats orders. Good for them but set yourself up as a ghost kitchen if to go orders are prioritized. It's not a sit and wait 25 minutes for your food kind of place. It's 5 minutes, get your food and go. So we ended up with beans and chips because that would be quick. Sadly, the beans were really bland. read more

This was a hidden gem I found on DoorDash one night when I was nowhere near the restaurant. The delivery fees were worth it and it became a favorite takeout meal. The chips and queso are fresh and the queso is not what you'd expect texture wise, but flavor wise it's 10/10 with the fresh tomatoes on top. The guac is also fresh & flavorful. The corn is consistently great. I've tried all sorts of items at this point and nothing has disappointed. Most recently I tried the steak quesadilla and then a taco trio - 10/10 would (and will) order again. read more

In a weekend where everything didn't seem to go right this was a highlight that stood out. Being in town from NY I wanted an authentic tasting Mexican spot with options and La Chingonita didn't disappoint. Quick service and my friends and I liked everything we ordered. The tacos, burritos I dug specifically. Bookmarked for when I'm in town again. read more

Pretty solid experience from Uber eats which I rarely order through. Solid Birria tacos and consume. Nachos were perfectly shareable. Burrito ample size, dry not a platter though...wrapped in foil with red and green sauce on the side read more

Tacos: the chicken was surprisingly flavorful. The chorizo hit the spot without dripping grease out the back - nice! Loved the corn tortillas - are they homemade I wonder? I am gluten intolerant and I appreciate that they note on the menu that the corn tortillas are gluten free. Also the service was friendly and straightforward. read more

Tried the Birria tacos because of how popular they are. They would not be my go to otherwise but I had to try. They were delicious. I can't wait to try other things based on how good they now that I've tried those. I also had the street corn. Very solid!!! One of THE top I've had since living in Philadelphia. Wish they had the aqua frescas the day I went. But something to look forward to next time read more

Solid tacos in Fishtown - with inflation they're more than I usually like to spend on tacos but you definitely feel like your moneys worth because they are PACKED. The shrimp was literally falling out of the taco because it was so stuffed. I thought 3 tacos wouldn't be enough for me but I was stuffffed. My hub's burrito had a bit less meat than we would have liked. Taste wise I really enjoyed the shrimp and the burrito was solid but not amazing. Chips and guac were also pretty good, solid but not amazing. It's not an authentic Mexican place so there were some details that made it feel more Tex/mex e.g. the cheese in the burrito or tomatoes/pico on the taco. Overall not the best tacos we've ever had but a solid place if you're looking for a fix. read more

Got the birria tacos and chips w/ guac for take out yesterday. Birria: Holy moly when you dip it in the broth? My tastebuds sing in delicious savory oily harmony. You will definitely need to soak the taco in the broth because the meat is really dry. Chips w/ guac: Definitely not enough guac for the amount chips they provide. And maybe it's their style but the tomato and onion were huge chunks in the dip.... The guac was quite disappointing for me... Their take-out preparation and wait time is very neat, organized, and fast! read more

Delish. Clean and friendly staff. Best burrito in Fishtown for sure. No pics unfortunately. I usually eat it to fast

This is it. Birria tacos, hands down, best thing on the menu. A little pricey, but you're in Philly, what do you expect! Dip one of these bad boys in and enjoy your delicious meal. Don't forget some napkins. read more

Solid. Nothing too fancy, but fresh delicious food. We love their street and birra tacos.

Fantastic spot for tacos in Philly! Came here with my friend and we both had the birria tacos and they were amazing! The broth was perfect and the sauces on the side were great. Definitely worth checking out and trying the menu! read more

From Colorado, where we have a TON of Mexican food. This place has incredible Birria. SO GOOD. Get there!

Dude go try these tacos. They were so good. I tried taco with just the corn tortilla and the carnitas no sauce or anything and could've ate them all like that. The lime and sauces just made it better, the red sauce has a tiny little kick to it (I don't really like spicy). My steak quesadilla also tasted great! The meat inside both the taco and quesadilla are super flavorful. I will definitely be back to try some more and this will most likely go to 5 stars. read more

Service was so bad. They messed up my delivery order (2 al pastor tacos instead of one shrimp and one Al pastor). I called immediately because I don't eat meat so I couldn't eat the Al pastor. The guy was so rude. He had no sympathy for getting the order wrong and said I had to go through Uber eats. He didn't offer any help and said just contact Uber and then hung up on me. Horrible service experience. My friend also found a rolled up piece of paper in her taco. Ew. This was the first and last time I will order here. read more

We tried this place for the first time tonight My husband and I each got the Birria tacos. So much meat in each taco that we could not finish all three My daughter got a chicken burrito that she said was so good We shared steak nachos and they were by far one of the best I have had in the area. We couldn't stop eating them We will definitely be ordering from here again read more

Got the carnitas tacos and nachos. The carnitas were seasoned so well that I didn't need any sauce but of course I still added tomatillo sauce. The tortillas on the tacos were corn based but soft and not grainy. The nachos were freshly made and really good. Kudos to the staff because there was a bit of a wait but the were friendly and professional. I'm definitely coming back to try other things on the menu. read more

Went to their weekend "event" where they only served Birria Tacos and Elote. While the food was ok it was a nightmare trying to actually get the food. I feel you shouldn't advertise a special event due to an increase in demand for a couple of popular products then do nothing to mitigate said increased demand. A 15 minute wait turned into an hour, tickets were being completed out of order (the first person in line was 5th or 6th served), an incorrect order was given out to someone who was towards the mid-back of the original line. So not only did they get an incorrect order before everyone else in front of them but their actual order was also done first. Some people asked for a refund and some who stuck around were repeatedly told 15 more minutes. As for the food it was OK. The elote was ice cold but the tacos were steaming hot. I understand Birria tacos are a specialty, but I could have gone to South Philly to a couple of other restaurants who serve them and still had been back sooner than waiting here at the food truck. I'm sure on a regular day things are less chaotic, but I can only judge based off my visit which comes down to the food and the experience. Food was good for the most part, the experience was awful due to how unorganized things were. If I go back it'll be during the week and I'll give a fair update. read more

I get excited whenever a new latin restaurant opens in Philly. This place makes amazing tostadas, churros, and al pastor tacos. Unfortunately the tortas were a huge miss, which had tiny portions of meat and super dry bread. As for birria tacos, they are difficult to find around Philly, so I am glad to have found a new local place that has them, but they are a bit bland for birria tacos. Overall a great new addition and can't wait to go back! read more

When my father said to me that this place on Girard Ave in Fishtown was voted as the best place to get tacos in Philly, it sparked curiosity. My dad and I ordered tacos. He wanted the shrimp tacos, and I ordered the Birria tacos. Very good, and worth the hype. We also ordered some chips and guacamole and a couple chocolate conchas(Mexican sweet bread) and a couple churros. Everything was delicious. I want to go back sometime soon to try the other items on the menu. It's a very nice addition to Philly's growing and respectable Mexican food scene. read more

This place is small but the food is really good! The birria tacos were really tender and perfectly cheesy. The consommé was tasty but would've been perfect if it had a pinch more salt. The cheese quesadilla was SUPER cheesy and kid approved. Really loved the guacamole, too! The woman at the register was patient and suggested the shrimp burrito, which my uncle really enjoyed. He said it was very flavorful. We will definitely be back! read more

I've been hearing good things about this place, so I decided to check it out. I got the steak burrito, which arrived cold which I can get past my heating it up, but it had so much shredded yellow cheese in it. The burrito tastes very catered to an American pallet, as it had so much lettuce and cheese. The steak, and rice where extremely basic, not much better than a burrito from a fast food chain. read more

Tacos are amazing! I ordered using UberEats and it arrived hot and delicious. We ordered the shrimp tacos and honestly it was one of the best I've had in Philly. The vegan burritos were pretty good too. My friend had the steak tacos and they were really really good. They remind me a lot of the taco trucks I used to go to in California. Def would order from them again. read more

The focus is on the food - absolutely terrific. They nailed it (try ANY of their delicious tacos) and add friendly customer service with it. Amazing Mexican - next time you have a craving, don't go to/order from anywhere else. read more

Biritia tacos are tasty! Cute clean place, indoor seating, friendly service, reasonable prices, street parking.

I'm pretty sure I've went to all of THE taco joints in the area and La Chingonita by far takes the lead when it comes to shrimp tacos. Shrimp was perfectly cooked and seasoned and ingredients were super fresh. The flavor combo was perfect. Beyond that, they were really friendly and service was great. My only wish is that they had some other seating options, the stools were small and not the most comfortable. Then again, I got over that fast once I tasted the food! Can't wait to go back and try some other things on the menu. This place was stellar. read more

Got the birria tacos, steak tostada and the churros. Everything was fantastic and reasonably priced to boot.

Went back for more. Carnitas carnitas carnitas, people. They're SO GOOD. Go here or else. read more

Thought I'd try out this newish taco joint. Got the Birria tacos, chips and guac and an in-house fresh drink (hibiscus) which was delicious. Overall, quality ingredients and very fresh food. Few nitpicks... Chips needed salt and the cheese to meat ratio was off. To pay $15 for the birria tacos and get mostly mostly mozzarella cheese was disappointing. All in all, recommended read more

Always delicious food and reasonable prices! A hidden gem in the neighborhood for sure.

Got lunch takeout from here and was not disappointed. Best tacos in fishtown. Nachos were top tier as well. Highly recommend

Don't sleep on the carnitas, that's all I have to say! So flavorful, just the right amount of spice, and great portions! Can't wait to go back. read more
