    This place is worth to try for good Mexican food with some Asian flare. At the window you see a poster of bubble tea indicating that it serves bubble tea as the drink. At the cashier table you see very cute waving lucky cat. Lucky bamboo plants are all around, stems of roses decorate the tables. The gentleman who took my order was super friendly. My order came out in 5 minutes . Al pastor burrito is pretty good. The meat isn't spicy but tender and not dry. The rice is red Spanish rice with pinto beans,?and they put the lettuce and tomato on the side. They also put green and red salsa on the side. I will definitely come back to try other items on the menu I w

    Enchilada in green sauce. W/ fried jalapeños yum yum
    Nora R.

    I have ordered multiple times from La Covina del Cafe. Recently I got enchiladas that were some of the most authentic I have found in Philadelphia in a long time. In addition their chefs were able to add some charred jalapeños to my dish. Couldn't have been more filling, delicious and warming during these chilly months!

    Reliable. Good portions. Tasty. Go to place for fast Mexican food! Neighborhood gem! We have ordered from here at least 3 times now and they've been consistent. Definitely worth supporting this business.

    1. Burrito de Pollo and 11. Enchiladas Verde de Queso and Chips and pico de gallo
    Sarah S.

    This was my first time trying their food after hearing great things about it from my siblings. I placed an order for pick up for lunch. The food was sooooo good and the pico de gallo was very refreshing. Absolutely great customer service as well! Can't wait to eat here again.

    3. Quesadilla de Chorizo

    This place is amazing! Everything we have tried on the menu is great, but I'm particularly obsessed with their guacamole. It's so fresh and flavorful. We eat here frequently and every time is just as good. Highly recommend!

    Taste great. 2. Tostada Bistec Asado

    Amazing food and service! Very relaxing environment. The Asian lady at the front counter is very nice.

    4. Al Pastor Taco

    12. Enchiladas de Mole Carne al Gusto
    Audrey H.

    I've wanted to try this restaurant since I saw it had opened. I finally made the trip in after not wanting to go through the hassle of cooking myself dinner. Alex, the waiter, was extremely friendly and the food was outstanding. I had the mole enchiladas and they were absolutely delicious. I already have plans to come back! Do yourself a favor and come eat at this new restaurant.

    I live nearby so was excited to try this New Mexican cafe, and I will definitely be back! Very inexpensive, fresh and delicious, and service was so friendly. Cute little space, and I noticed while waiting for my take out order that the plating for eat-in was lovely. My enchiladas verdes de queso really hit the spot and had a nice little kick. I'll be back to try the huevos rancheros!

The chai latte had great depth and spice flavors, and the Shakshuka pastry was a great mix of flaky puff pastry and strong tomato and egg flavors. Just knocking off one star because for a $5.75 latte, they only filled the glass halfway up. I also got one of their famous pistachio sticky bun to take to go!

The restaurant is quite spacious with a warm, inviting atmosphere, beautiful lighting, and both indoor and outdoor seating options.

The service was quick, attentive, and appropriately paced throughout the meal. I also ordered a cocktail, which was absolutely delicious. The real star of the show, though, was the Short Rib Hash. It was hands down the highlight of my meal and honestly TO DIE FOR! Flavorful, perfectly prepared, and something I'd order again without hesitation. Between the atmosphere, excellent service, great drinks, and unforgettable food, Urban Farmer was a fantastic dining experience. I would definitely return the next time I'm in Philadelphia.

A quick note for first-time visitors: the restaurant has multiple entrances, and I initially arrived at the back door. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful in directing me to the correct entrance. The space has a unique atmosphere. The indoor dining area felt quite dark, but the restaurant appears to have multiple levels, including an upstairs dining area and a bar, which adds to its charm. I started with a cocktail and really enjoyed it. It was fruity, well-balanced, and had just the right amount of alcohol without being overpowering. Based on recommendations, I ordered the burger. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype for me. It could have been cooked better, and overall I wasn't particularly impressed with it. What stood out most was the service. My server was attentive, friendly, and checked in regularly without being intrusive. Overall, The Dandelion offers a pleasant atmosphere, excellent service, and great cocktails. While the burger wasn't a standout for me, I'd be willing to return and try other menu items.
