    Al Pastor Tacos
    Gina F.

    This spot is pretty okay. I've been a few times and didn't have any issues. Music is usually a vibe and the servers are pretty nice. They have happy hour Monday-Friday along with other meal & drink discounts ($2 tequila shots on Tuesdays). Margaritas are pretty good. Food is decent always come out hot. I will say the birria tacos weren't as good as expected. Empanadas were delicious . 20% automatic gratuity is added to check.

    The vibe is fun. It's well decorated and I like that the front windows open up to the street with a bit of outside seating. The staff is all over the place, nice, but not focused. I ordered black beans as my side but got rice and refried, and my boyfriend asked for corn tortillas but got flour. Not really a big deal but our waitress even came back after we ordered to clarify and it was still wrong. Food is alright, I'd probably stick with tacos and drinks moving forward.

    While coming to this taco place I really liked the salsa - queso dip is the usual like every where else - I sat down stairs with the bartender - then went up stairs - was with a group - options are nice

    I did not plan on going here to get food, but most locations in this area were closing early. Well, we arrived inside the bartender took our order for our drink. Everyone got their drink without a problem. The drinks were delicious kinda strong, but that was OK. We had margaritas. They offer various of flavors so it was able to accommodate everyone. We gave our food order to the bartender unfortunately half of our party was only able to receive food because the cook had, put too much oil in the deep fryer and flooded the kitchen with oil and there was oil all over the floor so no one else was able to get any food. We sat there for about another hour having a drink towards the end of our when we got the bill, the bartender told us that the fryer was back up if we wanted to order something. The bartender was not really friendly. I'm not sure. Maybe he was tired or overwhelmed because he was working alone. Even the orders that he was able to take and fulfill were brought out incorrectly. This spot had an upper level with a dining area. Music and TV for enjoyment. Gratuity is added to your bill, no matter the size of theParty.

    We came here after we found out there was an hour wait at tacqueria amor. Service was excellent but everything else was subpar. We got chips and queso and I've literally never had more stale, greasy chips in my life. Shrimp tacos were all over the place with flavors - not in a good way. I wanted to love the ambience but it just felt old and dirty.

    Service was great. Server was very sweet and accommodating. Food left much to be desired. Great crowd draw with $1 mimosa specials. The veggie tacos were great. The chicken tacos and rice and beans not so much. It's a great snap-able and IG friendly venue. Drinks and photos for groups and dates - cool. Music needs a little work. Don't bother using the check-in perk because apparently "they don't know how they partnered with Yelp" and will not honor it nor will they make an attempt. But for a meet up and some drinks. I'd considered it. If there is a DJ!

    We were able to sit down immediately which is always a plus. Once seated our waitress came over. We asked a few questions and she wasn't sure about some of the things we asked. The restaurant was freezing-everyone had their coats on because it was so cold, which in fact made the food cold quickly. We ordered chicken and shrimp tacos along with margaritas. The drinks were good and had the right amount of alcohol in them. We also ordered nachos which were good. Prior to ordering the shrimp tacos there were two different prices for them. I asked the waitress how many tacos do you get for the $13 and she said two or three-she wasn't sure. I got three and once the bill came I was charged $16. I informed the waitress that I asked her about the $13 price not $16. She apologized but it was a little frustrating because I specifically asked about the $13 amount.

    Empanadas
    Kate C.

    I wish I could give them 0 zero stars!!! What a horrible experience!!!! I ordered the "Chicken Empanadas" please look at those 3 little cubes of chicken, this place is a WASTE of TIME and MONEY!!! La Roca - Manayunk Should shut down if they are experiencing food shortage. I literally paid to waste my time. I raised the issue with the General Manager and he told me his never had complaints, and offered to give us free shots of alcohol I want food not free alcohol, it's funny how he refused to address the main issues.

    Our view of Main St from our table

    Mango margaritas were refreshing! Zoey was careful to check so she could advise us about Gluten Free options. Great way to end our day in Philadelphia. We will be back.

    I can't believe I am giving Cantina La Martina a ONE star review! I couldn't even muster a 2 given…read morewhat they gave me to eat tonight. I ordered the carnitas tacos and churros. 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.

    Valentine's Day magic at El Rey? Say less. The steak tacos…read morechanged my life -- and I stand by that. 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

    As a native Californian, I was missing good Mexican food and saw this place was walking distance…read morefrom my front door. I headed over and was greeted warmly by the hostess/waitress Gemma. 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.
