Nora's Kitchen — Restaurant in Philadelphia

Atmosphere: Nora’s is a fast food restaurant that serves Mexican Classics. The space inside the restaurant is very small - only a few tables and chairs, a front counter, and kiosks on the side counter for customers to input their orders. I went during the weekend when there was a street festival outside, so the restaurant was packed with customers waiting for their orders. They also have a small outdoor seating area for customer overflow.

Service: This was really quick - I ordered my food via the self-service kiosk and got my tacos after 15 minutes. As far as I could tell, you needed to wait until the person at the front yelled your name to know when your order was ready.

Food: I got three, jam-packed Birria Beef Tacos which came with two sauce sides and a few limes. Overall, the food was savory, flavorful, and filling! I had the save the two other tacos that I couldn’t finish in one sitting.

Tips: If you are waiting outside like me - after 15-minutes of putting in your order, check with the front counter to see if it’s ready. More than...

So far, I've only done carry-out, but I LOVE the food at Nora's. The first time I came, i tried the birria tacos, and they are some of the best I've tasted.

Everything was so flavorful. The elotes were milder than the elotes I've had from other places recently but still delicious . The chips were fresh and had just enough salt. They forgot the guacamole, but the enchiladas and elotes had me so full i wouldn't have been able to eat it anyway.

Whenever we walk in, they are always so nice and patient. The wait is never too long, but it is always worth it, knowing they are making your order fresh. Their juices are also delicious. I can't wait to try more of...

The corner cutting is no longer ignoarable.

I have been frequenting Nora's regularly for the last 2 years. I have watched the cutbacks happen slowly but surely while the renovations were taking place. The portions kept getting smaller and smaller. The grilled chicken over rice "platter" has become nothing but a meer snack pack. But still, the quality of the food had never waivered.... until today. The sauce is different, the chicken is different, the rice is different and nothing of the same caliber. It's very disappointing.

They didn't even try to hide the fact the amount of food your getting is decreasing. No extra salad, no mountain of rice. Nope, everything has decreased. It's upsetting to not have this place as a...
