    Man there’s so much good Mexican food in Philly! I had a craving for a burrito and wanted to try something new and saw this place popup. It’s open until late afternoon so I got a steak burrito for lunch. I shoulda took picture after I took a bite but hopefully you can see from my video how big this thing is. The sauces it comes with taste fresh and flavorful. The woman at the counter was super friendly and my food was ready really quickly. Am definitely going back to try other stuff. I went back and tried more stuff and took more pics. This place is legit. The chicken in the chicken quesadillas was seasoned well. I really enjoyed the birria tacos as well, plus they’re huge! The carnitas were also good but I’m not the biggest fan of carnitas tacos. Take a look at the pics. I think the best thing here I tried was their burrito.

    A hidden gem! I would never guess how lovely the place is from the outside. The food is delicious, salsa is very flavorful, and most importantly, home-like service. I would highly recommend checking it out.

    We passed by this restaurant many times but decided to visit today. The place is small, cozy, and nicely decorated with traditional Mexican art. The waitress was very friendly, and accommodated us when asked about making the burritos vegetarian. The burritos had rice, beans, tomatoes, onions, crema, cheese, and avocado, and included red and green sauces. We drank guava jarritos. Overall, it's a nice, affordable place!

    I had the quesabirria tacos and they were amazing. They gave me a small side of chips and incredible salsa verde while I waited. The tacos were super delicious and the consomé that came with it was amazing. It was also plated very thoughtfully. The restaurant is clean and everyone was friendly. I’m going to come back for breakfast. Can’t say enough nice things.

    GET THE FRESH SQUEEZED ORANGE JUICED. The lady actually pressed it by hand which I haven’t seen in awhile. We got the shrimp burrito and a veggie burrito and they were both a solid B+. Great spot if you want to try something new or you’re in a pinch and don’t want to wait in line somewhere else. Restaurant is clearly authentic and we would definitely go back.

    This is the best burrito place in NoLibs. The staff is really nice. I usually opt for no chipotle mayo but highly recommend the following!! Chicken torta Milanese (this is one of my favorite sandwiches in the city generally) Chicken burrito Green chilaquiles

  • 5/5 Chelsea S. 1 year ago on Google
    Their milenesa de torta was one of the best sandwiches I’ve had. This place is a sweet hidden gem. The staff are so kind too.

    I had high hopes for this place. I got the shrimp tacos and although they give you some big shrimps, the taco shells were stale. Very disappointing…

  • 5/5 William W. 9 months ago on Google
    I ordered Quesabirria Tacos and was incredibly surprised. They were full of flavor and the consume was equally terrific. I will be back again very soon.

  • 5/5 Hector C. 11 months ago on Google
    Been to this establishment a few times already and the food has been delicious every time 100% authentic, definitely recommend checking out this restaurant if you in the northern liberties area.

  • 5/5 Kelly M. 11 months ago on Google
    This place is awesome!! Everything is delicious and the staff is outstanding. One of the best places to go in Philly for breakfast or lunch. Hidden gem.

  • 5/5 Aubrey F. 1 year ago on Google
    The breakfast burrito was great, and the green salsa that came with the chips was amazing. Staff were all very nice and the restaurant was small but very nice and clean.

  • 5/5 Margaret M. 1 year ago on Google
    Tacos were incredible and the creme brulée french toast was out of this world! Service was amazing even though you order at the counter. Bring cash to tip as you can’t on card.

  • 5/5 Charlotte K. 1 year ago on Google
    Service here is perfection. Food was terrific and 3 of us ordered different things. Everything was awesome. Coffee, possibly the best coffee I've ever had in a restaurant. Woman that helped us, nicest person. Can't say enough good things about this quiet corner spot. Thank you!! We will be back.

    I never leave reviews but this is the best breakfast burrito I’ve ever had. Me and my wife get it at least once a week its that good. Ask for extra green and orange sauce, you won’t regret it.
