Philly Tacos is the best. And the folks who run the place are the nicest people you'll ever meet. We love the short ribs tacos, the tacos al pastor, the steak quesadillas and on and on. The guacamole and salsas are also perfect. Agreed with the reviewer that the food is simple and very good; this describes the place well! The setting is cozy and quiet. It is the perfect place for dinner on a Friday night. Please go to Philly Tacos! read more

Hidden gem! Great food, awesome staff, cute little outdoor spot with music to vibe. Will go back!

A very cool hole-in-the-wall taco place in Point Breeze. The food is simple, and very good. A menu that has a number of taco, burrito, enchilada, and quesadilla options. The preparations are very "home made" which is a great thing. The flavors are excellent; the meat is seasoned perfectly, as are the beans, rice, quacamole, etc. Nothing is over-seasoned, not overly spicey. Worth a visit for a very casual, but very good dinner! read more

I placed an order on Grubhub and an hour later I get told the restaurant is closed, I don't get my order and lose the money for the food. Completely unacceptable since there was an hour to let me know. I'll be letting everyone I know know about this. read more

Best al pastor tacos I've had in a long while. Nice quality meat. Nice flavor. Prepared well. Great flavor on the short rib tacos as well. I'll definitely be ordering again soon to try the others read more

I ordered online for pickup only to show up and they were completely closed - door locked, lights off, completely empty - contacted support and they were unable to contact them as well. I'm sure they've got amazing food (I was so excited to try it!!) but either call before ordering online or visiting, as their hours on yelp indicate they are open and they were not. read more

Amazing spot! The server was honestly so personable and amazing to say the least! Was here for my birthday weekend to sight see and love love love finding local spots this good! Their food was perfect and delicious! Will definitely come back when I am around! read more

Amazing food i had the vegetarian burrito and my partner the steak burrito it was superb and the pico di g was amazing as well -loved rhe service read more

We came in as a party of 6 and the staff was immediately accommodating and pulled tables and chairs together for us. This place is small but cozy but the food was absolutely delicious! We ordered the Tacos al Pastor and the Short Rib Tacos and both knocked it out of the park. The pineapples on the al Pastor were sweet and added such a nice contrast to the well seasoned pork. And the short rib dish was awesome because they also added extra short ribs on the side of the tacos! Everything tasted great. Even the tortilla chips. The staff was incredibly nice talking to us and telling us about the venues they host and other places they have around the city. We wanted to order more but we were on a Taco Crawl through the city so had to pace ourselves. But truly, this was one of the best places on our stops and a place we will definitely be coming back to. Thank you, Philly Tacos, for making our visit so memorable! read more

Philly Tacos - Tacos al Pastor - Mexican Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

See all

Al pastor and vege tacos are delicious! Everything is good here! Happy to support the locals especially when they genuinely care about their food and patrons! They threw in a complimentary tres leches slice...it's the small gestures that matter most! read more

This place is great, every single time I've been. Many things to like here: The fresh and flavorful, house-made salsas and chips. The authentic simple menu that has great options but doesn't overwhelm with too many complicated choices. The diverse ingredients ranging from cactus to corn fungus (which tastes so much better than it sounds, they've renamed it mushrooms so as not to disgust). There's so many places in Philly to try, that I rarely repeat myself, this place is an exception. Do you want Taco's? I'm always asked by the cheerful staff. The answer is always yes. read more

This place is the place to go for Mexican food! The steak quesadilla was delicious !! The staff is super friendly!!

We just got back from eating dinner here, and I'm in the process of actively ignoring all other obligations long enough to immediately write a glowing review. Absolutely delicious food (especially the soup... normally my companion hates soup with beans, but said he'd order that by the quart), and it's clearly a family establishment that's benefitted from a lot of love and attention to detail. read more

We came based on the reviews and I must agree. Service was excellent, ingredients were fresh. We ordered the guac and chips and the avocado was chunky. The quesadilla had a satisfying cheese pull. But the highlight was the short rib tacos. The meat was tender and not overcooked. It comes with plentiful fixins of cheese, tomato, radish, cactus and roasted jalapeno. And the best part was when our waiter brought in the bones of the short rib. We never had bones so well seasoned. We also appreciate that they took the time to cook the meat and bones separately so that one part doesn't get overcooked. So we obviously recommend any dish with the short rib. You will not be disappointed. read more

The best tacos in Philly, bar none. I highly, highly recommend the Chicken tacos which are the perfect mix of savory and sweet, as well as the tacos al pastor. And, as if the great food isn't enough, there is excellent/friendly service at this off-the-beaten-path gem. read more

Great evening. Julie is lovely. We enjoyed talking to her. Food was absolutely fantastic. Very authentic. Lovely setting. Definitely will become one of my go to places. read more

I ordered catering from Philly Tacos for a Cinco de Mayo party that we had at my work. We ordered a mix of vegetarian quesadillas, chips, guacamole, & salsa. Everything arrived on time and was absolutely delicious! Everyone at my company thought the food was really great, and the authentic Mexican food was much better than ordering Qdoba or Chipotle like we had done in the past. I will definitely order from them again in the future, for large catered events and just for my own personal enjoyment!! :) read more

Great local restaurant with extremely friendly staff. If you bring tequila then they will make margaritas for you. Salsa is delicious and tastes just like what is served in Mexico. Can't complain about the food or the comfortable atmosphere. Quickly became a favorite place. Try the guacamole! read more

Great spot! The food is really authentic, fresh, and made with care. The staff are very kind and accommodating. The smoked pork burrito (chopped smoked pork chop), was great as were the fresh and homemade chips and guacamole. Give it a try! read more

Delicious authentic Mexican food and very friendly waiters. The serve margaritas too, although I didn't order one. The chips and salsa are to die for! read more

Philly Tacos - Delicious, authentic Mexican food (I'm from Mexico). - Mexican Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The cost for Philly tacos is a bit high but I don't care as the food is always excellent and fresh and they're extremely nice

The chorizo fondue was one of the best things I've ever eaten, smoked pork tacos were delicious, and our waitress was very nice. Highly recommend! read more

The best tacos in philly! A hidden gem in point breeze. You wouldn't think much when you look at the outside, but don't judge a book by its cover!! Most people only grab takeout, but sit down on the inside and enjoy the great service! read more

This place caught me by surprise never knew it was at this location tacos were pretty good and original great service nice lil place to get a bite to eat read more

The smoked pork tacos here blew my mind--some of the best pork I've ever eaten! And they threw in a couple pork ribs which were an equally delicious surprise. While I was waiting I chatted with the owner and learned that it's a family operation and they recently moved to this location (they previously had a spot with a different name in the Italian market.) Her warm and friendly attitude really made me feel welcomed. Cute cheery decor as well! This will definitely be my go-to taco spot in the neighborhood! This place definitely fills a need in that department! read more

Amazing guac and chips - tacos were also good. The chips were warm and fresh. The guac was also extremely fresh and they give you a lot. 10/10 would definitely recommend. read more

Burria tacos were great. Guacamole also delicious but spicy. The steak burrito was terrible and the quesadilla so so.

Great tacos! Really friendly people. Didn't realize it was sit down but service was fast. Decent prices and a surprising number of veggie options read more

Everything is so yummy and delicious! Highly recommended! Very quick and essay to get too! Love how flavorful it is! Always have picked up our dinner! Been very easy to order! Very quick! read more

I really enjoyed my dinner here. The owners are SO NICE!!! Some of the sweetest people. And the food was good, too! I would recommend the guacamole and chips, and the chicken quesadilla. The inside of the restaurant was really cute, too...very warm and inviting. read more

Another foodie gem in Point Breeze! Tacos and other eats that are like what you'd get in Mexico. You won't find shredded lettuce and cheese here...these are all about the authentic fillings and flavor profiles! Can't go wrong with the tacos al pastor, the guacamole, quesadillas, and must-have alhambre! Their complimentary salsas verde and roja are fresh and delicious (the red is spicy and sooooo good!) Great to eat-in or for take-out...you just can't go wrong here! read more

Worth the trip. (Julie)Owner is very nice. Food feels like home, with very good presentation....good job.

Star for friendly staff. Otherwise the food was awful. Went for takeout on a weekday evening. - "Smoked" pork in tacos were pieces of chopped ham in a tortilla. Very salty, otherwise lacked flavor. - Steak burrito had very mushy rice and, again, very salty meat (tasted like soy sauce) - Guacamole was saturated with lime. My guess is to keep the color. We kept it in the fridge and it stayed bright green for days. read more

We love this BYO! They have wonderful hand prepared food. This family run establishment has excellent service and has a wonderful cute hole in the wall atmosphere. It is very clean and you can see into the very tidy kitchen. The depth of flavor and in their dishes is fabulous. We have not been disappointed with any dish. And great specials. read more

If you love authentic Mexican and tons of amazing flavor, this is the place for you. My husband is a California native and raves about this place as well. We've had the guacamole, beef cheek, short rib and chicken tostadas. We've done both take out and eat in, both times the food has been amazing quality. When you eat in, John makes the experience feel like we are a part of the family. Worth the trip! read more

So I love this place. It's excellent too to bottom. Had the smoked pork platter, are until I wanted to die. Everything was super flavorful, and complemented each other well. To quote my profane friend "holy fuck this shit is fucking delicious". read more

I don't normally write reviews, just inspired by that service I had. Great place, I'm hoping that other people can see good food for what it is. (As of writing they are just starting) Staff was beyond nice, and very diligent. I could see the passion in the place. To start I got this habanero salad type dish that wasn't on the menu when I said I liked spicy food (can't remember the dish name) and already I was blown away. Was recommended the ribs, but I got the blood sausage tacos. It was really good. Spicy, savory, delicious... Couldn't ask for more. Until I broke down and tried a single spare rib taco. Wow. As good as the blood sausage was. Wow. Just go eat here. Nuf said. read more

This exceeded expectations! I've spent years living (and eating!) in Mexico, and this food was excellent. The delivery was on time and we got exactly what we ordered. Will order again! Thank you! read more

Got the chips and guacamole and the gringo.. best quesadilla I've ever had. Salsas were also really good.
