We were looking for a local taco spot since our usual place was too far. We read some good reviews so we decided to try this place out. Once we were sat, it took a little while to be greeted and once the server came over we decided to order drinks and everything in one shot. I was undecided on my food order so I told the server to put all of the other food in and Iāll decide by the time she comes back. It took a time to receive our drinks and once we did, the server immediately walked away and didnāt give me a chance to order my food. Our food was brought out by another person and throughout the entire time we ate, nobody ever came back to check on the food or even take my order so I didnāt even have a meal and ended up picking at my fiancĆ©s food. We had Guacamole as an appetizer and it was very weird, the chips were individually stuck into the guacamole upright instead of just on the side like it should be so someone mustāve touched each chip to stick them in the guacamole. All the food we did get including the guac had little to no flavor as well. Even still after finishing the food, we sat there for a really long time and nobody came by to check on us or bring the check. I had to go to the front counter and ask for the check and I felt like I was looked at and spoken to as if I was rude for coming up to ask for the check and also stood over me while I signed the tip and everything on the computer screen. We ate at this restaurant in the early afternoon around 2 pm. Itās now 8 pm and both my fiancĆ© and I are sick from what we ate and heās been throwing up from the food. For the price we paid and the service we received, I wouldāve at least expected to enjoy the food but now weāre both sick and wasted $60. The other server looked over at us multiple times during our time there and noticed we hadnāt been served or checked on and still didnāt grab our server for us which was also ignorant. I wouldāve thought for as small and not busy as this place was, we wouldāve been checked on and taken care of more often then not but that wasnāt the case. Definitely wonāt be dining here again and donāt recommend...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreThis is my go-to restaurant in NE Philly for Birria Tacos. I started ordering from them back in 2021 when they were fairly new to the area. I stumbled upon them by accident on GrubHub when I lived in the area. I went to their location the next day and Iāve made it a point to visit them whenever Iām in philly. Their beef birria tacos are the best Iāve had in the area. They serve you 3 delicious generously shredded beef filled tacos along side their amazing consommĆ© dipping sauce, topped with onions, cilantro & lime on the side. This dish is robust in flavor and packs a big punch when you combine everything together. The beef is well seasoned and not dry. The tacos have a nice balance of meat & cheese and they are not stingy about their portions. If you are ever in NE Philly, give them a try. They offer dine-in options. You will not be disappointed. Their service is prompt & efficient. They have a wide range on their menu of other items to try. Iāve also had their chicken & beef empanadas and homemade guacamole, all which I love. Their delicious tres leche cake is worth a try as well. Overall their birria tacos is a 10/10 for me. Plus 1 platter is less than $20. Itās a win every time Iāve...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreAsadero Los Tios is a hidden gem! Real authentic Mexican food! It's a bit confusing when you get in but just sit wherever you want and somebody will come. We were immediately greeted by our server with a plate of chips and salsa. I first started out with the Elote and can I just tell you that was to die for absolutely flavorful. Next, I ordered the Tostones so good. We also ordered the Papas Locas these ARE A MUST ORDER!!! They has the right amount of seasoning and favor to them that makes your mouth water. Then I ordered the Taco Platter for dinner which included 2 chicken tacos and rice and beans. Last for dessert we ordered the 3 Leches, if you haven't tired this small but hidden gem you are missing out. This is real Authentic Mexican food and the owner is such a great guy. Make sure you try this...
