I stumbled to this taco truck on a mix of spicy margaritas, ranch waters, white claws, and beers after the Italian Market Fest in which a bunch of jacked Italian dudes were climbing on top of each other to reach the summit of a greased up pole to grab some mozzarella cheese balls and Italian Sausages. It was madness. Philly is as advertised.
I got to this truck in dire need of some calories. I was gonna get some Italian food at one of the booths but all the lines were so long and I just needed to get away from big crowds of people after being loaded in the sun all day. I get anxiety in big crowds and I’m really shy hehehe...
I thought I ordered 2 tacos, but when the Taco Man rang me up for $24 I knew there had been some sort of miscommunication. I was lowkey mad and chin checked him, but when he said "Oh my god my fault I thought you wanted two orders of 3 birria tacos. I'll fix that right now" in the most sincere tone you ever heard, I felt bad.
I told him not to worry about it and that 6 tacos would probably not be the worst thing for me right now, as I was spiraling. God got me though.
After about 5 minutes of going to WORK and cheffin, Taco Man handed me a laughably big bag to take to go.
We got back to the apartment out of the sun's diabolical radiation, and I went to WORK on these juicy Birria tacos. They were honestly solid tacos. The birria was juicy and tender with little taco juice squirting out on every bite as it should. The tortillas were also made properly as they were cooked in some kind of oil that isn't healthy, but is delicious. Real Mexican style, you wouldn't get it...
Well, I actually only ate 3 of these in this sitting and air fried the rest the next day. Air fryers are actually so underrated it's insane.
Were these the best tacos I ever had? No, but they absolutely got the job done and I will 1000% be back. I'LL SEE YOU SOON TACO MAN!

Read moreGood portions and average tacos ares what you can expect from Late Night Tacos. My order consisted of 1 Tacos Special (4 tacos to an order) which was supposed to contain pineapple pork. I did think that’s what I received, as you’ll see from the photos. Pineapple Pork is served in 6" corn tortillas, raw onions, fresh corn, and sour cream. The second entree was Tacos Special (4 tacos to an order) with Carne Asada on 6” corn tortillas, caramelized onions, fresh corn, and sour cream. There was steak in the tacos, along with caramelized onions. However, the meat was not soft, nor tender, and needed to slow cook longer.
The hot sauces 2 varieties of spiciness, were served in tiny containers on the side, along with sour cream, upon request. When over half the order isn’t correct, and the other half is average, Late Night Tacos Philly has an appropriate name- when nothing else is open, and if you just arrived home from a bar or just smoked your medical marijuana, and have the munchies, that’s the appropriate time to order from here. Otherwise, look for...
Read moreI was having a craving for birria tacos. I never had them but heard they are a must try so I was searching for the best. I came across Late Night Tacos on Google amd drove about 25 minutes to get there and it was worth the drive! These tacos were amazing, delicious, more than I expected from tacos! Again, I had never tried birria tacos before but these blew my mind. After this I was craving them again and tried 2 different places closer to me and they failed in comparison to Late Night Tacos! Her tacos were full of flavor, the sauce given on the side was also full of flavor. They were toasted crispy yet also juicy, I'm craving them just writing this review. They were about $14 for 3 and well worth...
