The pros of this place are obvious- great location, inexpensive prices, and varied menu for vegetarians and meat eaters alike. I ordered the bean burrito with beans (mashed pinto and black), rice, a small sprinkling of cheese, medium smokey chipotle salsa, and sour cream (an extra 50 cents) for a whopping $3. Unfortunately, there was barely any seasoning in the taco (the beans and rice had no flavor) and the salsa was very sparse and only in one end of the burrito. To add insult to injury, there was a medium length black hair in my burrito. The worker was really nice, and the options and prices are impressive, but I won't be back. read more

Eggplant burrito Good, clean, tasty and cheap! -- Now what more could I want? read more

There is something truly heartbreaking and sublime about MexiPhilly. It's heartbreaking, because this is some strange personal interpretation of Mexican, so you will never be able to get this anywhere except for here. It's sublime for the same reason. If you want authentic Mexican, you shouldn't be on Spruce, you should be on 38th at Don Memo's Tacos. That said: Get the tofu & ground beef burrito without beans and with all three salsas. Or if they're out of tofu, go for the shrimp. But remember: GET ALL THREE SALSAS. AND NO BEANS. You're welcome. read more

The, extremely filling and immensely flavorful, $4 chicken burrito comes with rice, 2 different kinds of beans, finely chopped chicken, cheddar cheese, jalapeño pepper, and salsa of your choice (mild/medium/hot) in a well cooked flour cover. Only down point is the wait times ~ 20 minutes, which might be daunting for lunch. read more

I was told by a lady at work that this truck was the same as MexiCali, which I've heard great things about and have been meaning to try. In reality, MexiPhilly is not MexiCali, despite how similar they sound, but it's not bad! I was apprehensive because of the low rating on Yelp. I decided to try it anyways since it featured vegetarian burritos similar to MexiCali and I had been prepping myself for the sweet potato burrito ever since the morning when I realized all I had for lunch was a cupcake. I ordered the sweet potato burrito with the medium (chipotle) and hot (habanero) sauces as well as jalapenos. A lot of people around me in line ordered the sweet potato burrito as well, so it seemed like the way to go. There were only a few orders before mine, and I received my food in a little over 5 minutes. I didn't experience any confusion in the orders, but probably because there weren't that many people to keep track of. The woman who worked there was very nice and recommended that I put both sauces on my burrito (good idea!) My burrito was very enjoyable. To me, burritos filled with things like sweet potato, plantains, eggplant, and spinach were very novel and unexpected. I liked that it was toasted on the grill. The burrito came with both black and pinto beans, and the sauces I had ordered. I thought the flavors of the fillings were great together, but the burrito was not evenly distributed, so half of it was delicious while the other half with only sweet potato and no sauce was not as flavorful and pretty mushy. My friend got the eggplant, which was pretty good and contained a couple more veggie including celery. The burritos were a good size, pleasantly filling but nowhere near food coma-inducing. Good bang for your buck at $3.50 a burrito! This is probably more of a 3.5, but I think this food truck deserves more stars than it has gotten, so I'm rounding up. Maybe I'll try MexiCali in a bit and then will have to downgrade this one... read more

I miss Mexically, but if you can't make the trek/wait in line for Don Memos then this is a decent option. Most recently I had the chicken tostada. It was a ton of food, but it didn't wow me. The flavors are kind of bland. I wish they didn't charge for guacamole. It's cheap, quick Mexican style food. read more

I want to give this place 3 stars. I really really do! I might be the only person who prefers this truck to the one right next to it. The sweet potato burrito is amazing. In fact, the only reason the review gets two stars instead of one is because of the sweet potato. Their service is efficient and if they don't have something, they'll swap an ingredient for no extra cost. But....and this is a HUGE HUGE but..... Apparently, every once in a while when you eat here, you get food poisoning. A guy I work with had this happen to him a while ago. I thought nothing of it. That is, until today. A girl I work with and I got a veggie tostada salad. Both of us are sick now. Ugh. This is probably a risk you take eating at any food cart. But since it hasn't happened to me until now, MexiPhilly Truck, I'm sorry, but I'm taking it out on you. read more

Sweet Potato/Plantain Burrito, with rice, pinto beans, medium and hot salsa, with a side of sour cream because they were out of the guacamole that I really wanted to try. Anyway, for $3.50 for the burrito, I cant really complain. I loved the way the flavors combined tasted. I think I tasted some sweet pineapple in something, possibly the salsa??? But the burrito really exceeded my expectations. It was a lil smaller than I wanted, but for the price, I had to suck it up, and not complain. I cant wait to try another burrito, or something different from here. Most people talk about the tofu in their reviews, so maybe Tofu next time. read more

The good: - my tofu burrito was pretty good, and they toasted it on the grill the way I like it. It had a nice texture and a good taste. - the line was not super long - the burritos are cheap ($3.50 for the tofu, $2.50 for the bean) The bad: - total sense of confusion in line--they kept asking me if orders that were not mine were mine: "chicken burrito? no, tofu." 5 min. elapses. "bean burrito? tofu." 3 min elapses. "beef burrito? tofu!" - the burrito's exoskeleton was ruptured, causing bean-y goodness to plummet toward earth (read: my shirt) at a rate of 9.8m/s. The ugly: - the girl working the register had a perpetual scowl, a perma-scowl, and may be in the top three least friendly food service people I've ever encountered. Summary: I would avoid. read more

So cheap! I came here almost everyday this summer and loved it. It's so cheap, but still good and really filling. I've only had the bean and sweet potato burritos and they were great. I know that sweet potato doesn't sound great on a burrito but it was soo good! And for under 5 bucks why not just try it and see? read more

MexiPhilly Food Cart - The cheapest food truck at 38th & Spruce - Food Trucks Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Best food truck in philly, hands down. So simple, a burrito truck, choose your filling, get some add ons if you want. And there you have it-- a full meal all in the compact wrap of wonderfulness that is a burrito from Mexi- Philly. I went to this place every day for lunch during my sophomore year, and now I rediscovered it after three years. The only difference is, back then I was a vegetarian. Although I usually go with the chicken burrito these days, the tofu one is still good, and there are plenty of other worthwhile fillings. Not particularly authentic, but the service is great, the price is VERY affordable (basic burrito with meat $4), and it will fill you up. Get a burrito here, you won't regret it. read more

Stunningly ordinary. I was very surprised. Let me explain: This place has an interesting take on Mexican food, and with spinach and tofu being offered in burritos, I had thought they would have really put some thought into their food and its flavors. Right? I am not saying creativity necessarily equals quality, but after eating here I felt cheated - its like they haven't tasted their own food!! It is bland as hell, undercooked in parts and the only thing I will say they do well is toast the burrito very nicely. I like the crunchy tortilla in a burrito - at Tacos Don Memo, I always ask them to "toast it well". But I am not willing to write these guys off just yet. I think there is potential. Don't take the easy way out, MexiPhilly, and start smothering the food in sauces or double the amount of cheese. Both of those things will add flavor, but it would be cheating. Instead, look into things like spices, and what combinations of beans and tofu/chicken/spinach go well together. Stop charging extra for guacamole, and throw in some avocados instead. Maybe some seasoning in your beans to begin with? read more

LOVE this cart! I eat here a few times each week for lunch. Unfortunately too many others like this place too and there is almost always a wait. I'm a vegetarian and there are a lot of selections. I tried the other burrito cart next to this one and was not impressed at all. Definitely try the tofu burritos....so delicious! Also, the man & woman who work there are very nice and courteous. Tip: Remember who is in front and behind you when you order. The people who work there can get confused about the order of the line and I have twice now gotten back to my desk and opened up my bag to find a burrito that I didn't order. read more

Love this place! Can't beat the price, the location, the food and the service. Perfect lunch stop for a vegetarian. read more

MexiPhilly Food Cart - a group of people standing in front of a food truck - Food Trucks Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

One of the best mexican truck I have tried. Wide range of selections especially for vegetarians. Really nice staff as well.

The burritos are cheap.. Large ... And lack flavor .. I don't understand why you'd feel it necessary to put black and pinto beans on the same burrito ... Especially when you've not seasoned either ... It was literally like half the burrito was mush.. Which I wouldn't have minded had it been flavorful !!! I was sadly disappointed ... They do have a few vegg friendly selections but... Ugh ... read more

This is a pretty solid Mexican food truck. You can pick your ingredients although sometimes they run out. I love the sweet potato option which puts a unique twist on the truck. Very cheap compared to other burrito options around University City. It's conveniently located on the strip of Spruce food trucks and overall just a decent burrito. read more

Too bad this place is underrated, because it's actually pretty good! I love the selection of burritos you can order, such as tofu, plantains, or sweet potatoes! I'm not a vegetarian, but sweet potato burritos are so good that I had to order one here! The guy is so nice and he makes sure to stuff the burrito full. The best part about it is that most of the vegetarian burrito options are only 3.50 and a meat burrito is usually 4.00 unless you get the shrimp one which is 5.00. Most food trucks average about 5-7$ for whatever you're ordering, so if you're really trying to get the most bang for your buck, I'd recommend this food truck. I can't say that it's the best burrito you'll ever eat, but it tastes good and fills you up. For the price and the quality, I'd recommend others to check it out. read more

Delicious chickpea burritos! I've only had the chickpea burrito and the "go go burrito" from here but the experience has always been a good one. Flavorful and filling. read more

Wow so many vegetarian options. This cart is near UPenn campus on Spruce street. There is another Mexican cart next to this one. I chose over the other as prices were better, more veggie choices. So I order e d the eggplant burrito, but he was out. So I got spinach. You have a choice of salsa mild,medium and hot. I chose the mild. You am get cheese added. I believe he uses a queso dip which tasted fine. He also has tostadas, tacos (you get 2 per order), quesadillas and burritos. He was busy, but it didn't take long. The price was great! $3.50 for my filling burrito. I will be back next day off, since I work in Center City. read more

I happened to be in the area during lunch time and was lured to Mexiphilly by the delicious aroma wafting out of the food truck. I ordered the shrimp burrito with guacamole and was very impressed with the quality (and quantity!) of food from Mexiphilly. I'm still full 6 hours later. read more
