La Frontera Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in Waterford Township

Update: Twice in 2 weeks! That’s how good the food is. We got chicken empanadas and pico de gallo this time, along with the burrito box. The pico de gallo is the best!! I also added more pictures of the food.

This will now be our go to spot for Mexican food.

———————————— Previous review: Glad we got around to trying the food from here. It was absolutely delicious!! We recently got the $30 burro taco box, which was a great deal- the burritos and tacos were hefty. (5 tacos and 2 burritos, I started eating before remembering to take a pic lol)

I was pleasantly surprised to find that there were actual pineapple pieces in the al pastor. This is the first Mexican restaurant we’ve gotten food from where it’s included, the other ones in the past just use the juice. It was sooo good.

We also got the churro (also good), crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside.

Will definitely be coming back and trying other dishes...

In response to the owner. I didn't order my food the same day as I wrote my review. I came in explaining what I wanted. If it wasn't cerviche then it was something similar to it. It was shrimp and vegetables in a red sauce that I had with tostada shells. It was probably the shrimp cocktail. It was, definitely, your restaurant. Unfortunately, I did not take any photos. I have been back a couple more times and have had no issues since then.

Dropped their rating because I got a screw with my ceviche. Good thing I didn't swallow it since I did pick up the container and down the last of it like a lady. I'm sure it was an accident, but not on that I would have...

The food here is amazing! Get past the small size, the lack of ambiance, and the plastic silverware and sink your teeth into the best tacos and burritos you've ever had. I've traveled in Mexico and been to tons of Mexican restaurants all over the Philadelphia region and this place is the real deal. The staff are friendly and helpful, they've got quart-sized authentic drinks like horchata and hibiscus tea, and the food is served quickly. If you don't want to eat there (or at the outdoor picnic tables) get take out. But don't miss out on this place. We're going back again...
