This place is a great, little spot on 3rd & South. Quality tacos for a great price. Service was very quick & attentive. They even brought out extra servings of fruit & tajin when I asked about it. We will definitely be back! read more

We found this place by accident, it is honestly a hidden gem. If you end up going, you must try their tacos! Their food is amazing, very authentic. The weather was perfect so the light breeze was coming in while listening to Latin music, in all great atmosphere! Server was on point, not expensive and let's not forget the free margaritas. read more

Nora's Kitchen - Superb Chicken burrito - Mexican Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

We're in town from Texas and were looking for a good Taco Tuesday spot. A lot of locals recommended Nora's. We were floored by the food here! Great tacos, taquitos, and especially the empanadas. Three salsas come with your meal that are amazing when mixed together. This place made us feel like we were home! read more

Awesome tacos for a great price (especially considering the prime South Street location). The Al Pastor were very nice, the right blend of spicy & sweet. Meat was nice and tender as well. Staff was very friendly & the order came out promptly, freshly made & warm. For a low-key snack or meal before or after grabbing a beer or cocktail in the area, this place is an ideal choice. read more

So good! Fast delivery. Al pastor Nachos and steak burrito and tacos were solid! Guacamole is fresh and simple. We will definitely order again and try more menu items. read more

Former SF resident, born and raised in the Bay Area. Been searching for a burrito I could devour with sheer delight. Nora's has finally delivered. Still not quite an El Castillito or La Taqueria or La Cumbre, but definitely hits the spot when we need one! Tasty salsa and guac too. Watch out, the burrito bowls are delivered on a plate, not a bowl. But still delicious... read more

Nora, you deserve nothing less than 5 stars. This place is the definition of a hole in the wall, don't walk too quickly down south - you might miss it! The location is pretty small so whether you want to order food and eat it there or take it home, the only factor is how loudly is your stomach growling. I prefer takeout from here and there is no difference in the quality! There have only been two employees each time I've been there, but they are friendly and efficient. I usually have my order in a few minutes! These tacos are made to PERFECTION. My favorites are the AL Pastor Taco (pork) and the Fish Taco. SO SO SO SO GOOD. Have 1, Have 10, they are amazing. They have a very simple and straightforward menu with tacos, burritos and burrito "bowls" (they are served in plates) and that's all they need because the food speaks for itself. You also find your standard guac chips and salsa on the menu. The prices are incredibly cheap which isn't what makes the food so good, it just makes it even better! 1 taco is $2.50 and has a lot of deliciously seasoned meat on it. Do yourself a favor and stop in.. these tacos are worth every bite and will keep you coming back for more. read more

Very solid place and Taco Tuesday is a great deal. The server is very nice every time I have gone. $2 tacos cannot be beat! Fish, shrimp and the steak tacos are all great. read more

Nora's is absolutely delicious! I ordered the chicken over rice with mole sauce and the chicken tacos. Both had tender pieces of chicken and lots of fresh veggies. On another day, we ordered a steak taco and al pastor (pineapple infused roasted pork) taco and those, too, was great. The rice dish included your choice of black or pinto beans (or both). You get a can of soda or bottle of water with your chicken over rice and there are some items in the place that are not mentioned on the menu (i.e. tacquitos, enchiladas, churros!!!). The churros rival those in a Garces restaurant. The food is great, the prices are great, and service is always met with a smile. This is why I've raised my initial 4 star review to a well-deserved 5 stars. I hope they keep doing what they're doing. read more

Excellent food, friendly folk, great value! I live in the neighborhood and generally head down to the Washington Avenue part of town for my Mexican fix. I am so glad that Nora's moved a couple of blocks away. The food is excellent, cheap, the service is friendly. Highly recommend the fish tacos- fish is not breaded- a big plus! The al pastor is also excellent. The burritos are sizeable. The horchata delicious. Go there. You won't be sorry. read more

I seriously look forward to this spot, anytime I make my way to South St. They NEVER disappoint! I appreciated the quality of their ingredients, but looove the new added touch of a dine in service...before, it was just order and self serve with seating availble if you chose to sit and eat. It was a pleasant surprise, and the service was top notch, and the lady was super friendly and accommodating. Nice to see a small business thrive in all areas, I'll definitely be back! read more

Delivery was slow, but my food was tasty. I ordered fish, chicken and steak tacos. I didn't like the salsa that came with the chips, but the chips were well seasoned. The churro I ordered was the best! I just wished it had some sort of chocolate dipping sauce on the side. Will order from again. read more

Nora's Kitchen - Grilled Chicken Tacos,chips, guacamole - Mexican Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Solid Mexican food. I lived in LA for 10 years & I would say that the tacos are authentic, solid, but not mind-blowing. The pastor was good. The fish taco was ordinary. The yellow rice was ho-hum. I also ordered a tamarind soda which was simply a Jarritos soda. Again, nothing special. If Im hungry for Mexican I'd order it again, but it won't make me c-c-c-rave Mexican like others allude to. Solid. Not outstanding. read more

Popped into this spot on a whim and their Tacos Al Pastor were pretty fantastic! My partner snagged themselves a chicken burrito and the look on their face said it all. Glad we stumbled into this place; we WILL be coming back! Oh, and they had my favorite flavor of Jarritos Mexican soda there too! read more

I spent much of the past few months scouring Philadelphia for the best burrito in town. I tried tens of restaurants hoping to find what I was looking for. My quest ended when I discovered Nora's. The ingredients are fresh, the service is excellent, the burrito is filling and *bonus* it comes grilled to perfection. If you want the best burrito in town, you've come to the right place. read more

This food was DELICIOSO! We had chicken quesadilla, 3-meat fajitas, street corn, fried plantains, black beans and rice. The presentation of the tortillas was new and quite refreshing! A little too much oil on quesadilla, yet this was a fantastic dining experience! read more

Delicious food and great service. Was pleasantly surprised. We had the steak torta, taco combo, quesadillas, and nachos. Everyone enjoyed their meals and they made adjustments for the kids without any problems. read more

I've been to many little Mexican spots around the city but none as savory as this place. The seasoning alone is enough to keep you coming back. This is where real flavor lives. Authentic in every way. I've ordered tacos a few times but my favorite dish here is the grilled chicken over rice. You get to pick what sauce you want on the chicken, BBQ, teriyaki, etc. Comes with a side of beans and salad. The tacos are alll really good ! read more

I loveeeeeeeeeeee this place! The ingredients are always so fresh, the presentation is vibrant and colorful, the flavors are on point. Everything is great. I've had the shrimp tacos, veggie burrito, birria taco, and chips and guac... all so good. I never write reviews but I have to recommend this spot. read more

Nora's serves delicious, fresh food. We usually take our food out, but the service is fast and friendly when sitting in. We love the fish tacos and the pork tacos are great, too. They offer good portions. read more

My little family and I just went to Nora's for lunch. I had the steak taco and the al pastor taco, a churro, and a mexi soda. I haven't had tacos this good since the last time I was in Mexico. They were simply perfect! Served with a nice tomatillo salsa and a spicy mole salsa. The churro was crunchy as it should be with doughy custard in the middle. Almost as soon as we left, I was craving another. Also, nice touch on the Cumbia playing on the radio ;) South street has been experiencing what I would call a "food revival" as of late and Nora's is a fine addition. I will be back here soon, often, and very hungry!! read more

Good regional Mexican dishes, with good vegetarian options too!

This place is no joke the best Mexican food experience in Philadelphia... if your in the neighborhood definitely stop by and grab some comida. I've eaten here 5 times over the last 3 weeks and I've taken a picture each time of my dish. Not only is the presentation amazing but the food tastes great. Coming from Southern California, Mexican food is a staple in my diet... After moving to Philadelphia that became very absent as I searched for a place to quench my appetite for food south of the border. This is the real deal. If you want Mexican food and your in Philadelphia, come to Nor's Taqueria and Grill. I guarantee you will NOT be disappointed. read more

This is a fun intimate place (few tables on first floor) with REALLY affordable prices. My friends and I were warmly welcomed on our first visit by a co owner wearing a sombrero despite our late arrival approaching their close time. Food is tasty but not exceptional (AND THATS OK) although my chicken was a little dry and seemed thigh not breast as expected. Portions are decent and fit the price. Their main waitress--VASI--is SUPERB in her attentive, genuinely caring demeanor. She ALONE is worth the trip! And did I mention they serve complimentary margaritas that are as well made as the top notch restaurants in the city. read more

i can't rave enough about this place it's gotta be the best taco place in philly. the food is perfect every time, the flavor is unmatched and they give you more than enough to eat and at a good price. the guy behind the counter is so kind too i just went and they had just opened so the frescas weren't made yet so he went and made a single one just so we could have it. it's a small place but i swear by them. read more

Our waiter was very nice. We had carnitas tacos and guacamole w chips. It was a lively time w good music. But the taco shells were overcooked and the guacamole chips were really pita chips. read more

Omg- this place is nothing less than amazing! Currently my favorite thing to order is the fish & chicken tacos. I've only been 3 times but it is soooo worth it! For one it's on south st so it's pretty easy to find especially if you're familiar with the Philadelphia area & then the prices are literally unbeatable! 3 very filling tacos only cost me like 9 bucks! Pshhh, chipotle who? I'm telling you, if you've never been here you gotta go! I don't really know what "authentic" Mexican food is, but their food is GOOD! They cook using lots of flavors, but everything still has this touch of simplicity oh and not to mention, it's fresh! It's a " "hole in the wall" type of place but you'll notice it when you see the Rita's water ice because it's literally like right across the street! Very easy to skip over lol read more

We ordered pickup tonight from Nora's and it was wonderful! Food was so good, we both got the Santa Fe Burrito (1 Chicken, 1 Steak) and a quesadilla and chips/guac. Everything was delicious and HUGE portions. We ordered online and opted to pick up, which was super convenient. read more

I work near Nora's and order lunch from there frequently. I typically order the grilled chicken over rice, which comes with your choice of 5 or 6 sauces... though I almost always go with my ride-or-die; creamy chipotle! The platter comes with a small salad as well, which in their new to-go containers is separated so the lettuce stays cool and fresh - an underrated difference-maker. The people at the counter that take the order over the phone and payment when I arrive are always extremely pleasant and always have the order ready on time. I definitely recommend checking it out! read more

Food was amazing, still so fresh and hot when delivered. I'm usually quite picky when it comes to where I'm ordering specific foods. But I would do it all over again. Love their churros, tacos and quesadillas. read more

Great tacos. Lots of variety. Great prices. FREE margarita. I mean, that's awesome. This is a great little find in Philly - I got the 5 taco sampler, which came in under 3 bucks a taco, plus the margarita... great deal. Highly recommend for the value! And the tacos were simple but delicious. And very filling! read more

Ordered from caviar tonite. Got the sample tacos. Pure slop. Soggy ,flavorless,terrible presentation. Very gristly meat. Just a soaking wet mess. Then the plantains with cheese---slid down my throat like a grease puddle...Thrown away after 1 bite. The empanadas tasted like old EL Paso taco seasoning inside Pillsbury dough. NEVER again. I'd be petrified to see that kitchen read more

Came here for lunch with my husband. Wow! Their service was great, all the salsas were delicious and portion sizes were just right for lunch. He got the steak tacos, and I got the chicken over rice which come with beans and a green salad. Chips and guacamole were good as well. Priced perfectly! read more

Tacos were bangin!! The burrito was Huge as well as the enchiladas. The service was fast the cashier was very polite I will definitely order from here again read more

We had food delivered and it was really good. The marinated chicken in the tacos was delish but my favorite was the guacamole and homemade tortilla chips. Oh my gosh! Amazing. I was impressed! read more

Nora's Mexican Grill has the best authentic Mexican food on South Street! I have ordered the Mexican Grilled Chicken over rice, Steak Tacos, Fish tacos. Everything on the menu here is really good and freshly prepared, cooked, or grilled. The owner and all the employees here are awesome, friendly, and very hard-working. The food is always made very fast and the staff does a great job letting customers know of any specials and new items. The customer-service focus aspect of any food/restaurant business is important to connect with your customers and Nora's does a great job doing that. I hope many people will continue to patronize Nora's Grill on south street we need good Mexican ethnic cuisine around to stay! read more
