Heffe

Burritos are the way to go. Tacos delicious but overpriced. Went with friends a few days ago, and we ordered about half the menu. The service was fairly quick (about 15 minutes for 7 – 8 items). The burritos offer about twice as much substance as two tacos and for the same price. I do have to say that each thing we tried was truly impressive. Some of the best counter service Mexican food I’ve had in the east coast. In my opinion, the bellicimo was the best burrito (but I really want to try the fat man and the Willie make it) and the kraken tacos are by far the best for the taste buds. The poutine is also a must order and is a sizeable portion for six dollars. They did forget an item that we ordered, but replaced it and gave a complimentary food item, which made us more than happy. Will be back

Rolled up to grab some take-​out before a concert. There was no line and the turnaround seemed to be quick. We placed a large order for 3 tacos, 3 burritos and an order of the Tijuana Poutine. In about 15 min, our order was ready and we returned home.
Now for the bad part. Even though there was noone else in line and the place was not crowded, we were missing one of our burritos. We called back immediately and the woman who answered the phone said «Well, are you sure?’, which I found to be very unprofessional. Once we returned to pick up the missing item, one of the other employees was much more apologetic and offered us complimentary scones in addition to the missing item (which were delicious, BTW).
We tried the Kraken octopus taco, beef cheek taco, pollo taco, Fat man burrito, Bellissimo lamb burrito and the Poutine.
Overall, I felt that the tacos were way overpriced for the amount received. The burritos are definitely the way to go if you more bang for your buck.
Every item was cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. I wasn’t crazy about the sweeter flavor of the Poutine, but that was just a personal opinion as the rest of our party devoured it.

Just ate the chicken taco, «pole-​yo.» I was damn delicious. This place is a great addition to the neighborhood.

Alright so this place deserves every damn star. After probably 10 more times going here I couldn’t be happier. I get it why it is pricey for the tacos. To make something so delicious it requires time and great ingredients. The Mac Daddy tacos I ordered tonight are literally the best tacos I’ve ever had. I’ve tried their Poutine along with their standard Fat Man burrito as usual. Service is great and I can’t imagine this place going anywhere. They now have an outdoor enclosure to make it more tolerable waiting or eating there in the winter. Keep it up guys and hopefully with higher volume these tacos can become less then $ 4 a taco.

My wife and I went to Heffe last week because I saw the review on
. The lamb belly burrito was like nothing I’ve ever had before and, being from Los Angeles, I’ve had some amazing Mexican food.
Starting from the outside, the tortilla was perfect and didn’t break, but it also wasn’t overly sticky like some places. The lamb was tender, juicy, and the fat gracefully made its way through the burrito, adding flavor to everything else. The cheese, chickpeas, and egg were a great combination as well, but the lamb was the star of the show. I always add hot sauce but it wasn’t necessary as a flavor additive.
The size of the burrito was perfect — I didn’t feel like slipping into a food coma afterwards and I was full the whole night. The burrito was wrapped tightly which was key because I ate it somewhere else and it didn’t make a mess (also didn’t need a plate).
I’ve been to some legit Mexican places in Philly, particularly South Philly, but the twist Heffe takes is unlike any other.
This is going to be my new go-​to for food near La Colombe in Fishtown. I’m looking forward to trying everything on the menu.

Essentially Paesano’s tacos. You can’t really go wrong. Highly recommend the Kraken. A little $$$ but totally worth it. Open late. A happy addition to Frankford Ave for all hungry taco-​loving night owls. Better than most of the taco trucks that park down the street, as well

Absolutely delicious food!
Great new business in Fishtown, extremely pleasant staff, and REALLY good tacos. We got the Kraken (octopus) and the Mac Daddy (beef cheek) tacos, and friends tried the Fatman burrito and Plain Jane tacos. Not a bad bite on the table– I imagine it would be even more awesome on a nice day, since it was pretty cold out tonight. Well worth it. Probably the best tacos I’ve had in a long time, and definitely the best in Philadelphia.

The best !!! I can’t remember the name of my burrito but it was chicken and it was so amazing def a must stop! And it’s so fast for such an amazing taste :) open super late too

I checked this place out recently, and thought the food was very good. I got the Kraken, Fat Man, and Tijuana Poutine. The Kraken was awesome (make sure you try this), the Fat Man was decent, and I was so full by then that I don’t think I can really say anything reliable about the poutine (but I still ate it). I will definitely be back again.

So we stopped by Saturday night super late after the bar closed. They were very nice. And the food was amazing. I had chicken tacos and the plain Jane which is basic ground beef that tasted anything but basic. All super fresh ingredients and seasoned to perfection. Coca Cola in a old school glass bottle and a place to sit and eat it. Can’t wait to try other things on the menu!

It’s Wednesday, and I had Tijuana Poutine on Saturday. I’ve been craving it since then, and it’s what prompted me to write my review.
Their food is fab. Quick service, cute outdoor dining area, though I’ve usually grabbed it and gone record shopping.
I’ve had several items off the menu, but absolutely do not miss the Tijuana Poutine. Think about it: my craving has lasted since Saturday, with no end in sight.

I’ve been here three times now and had different experiences each time. My first time there was the first weekend they were open. The good was amazing but the service was a disaster. It was packed and it was evident that it was a new business. That night I had the lamb belly burrito and the chicken tacos. It was the lamb belly burrito that brought me back. Wow! The second time I went back I got the lamb belly burrito again. Worth the $ 9 of delish lamb belly, gooey cheese, chickpeas, and fried egg. The third time I can back to get what is my favorite at any other taco joint, al pastor tacos. It was just after lunch and there was no wait (bonus) and they figured out the service piece. The tacos were good but not great. Not in love with the $ 7 price for the two tacos.
Overall: Good food and a win for Fishtown. Get the burritos for value for your money. I’d go back again.

My friend and I came here on an unusually warm night in November for a late light dinner. As usual, Mr McAndrews does not disappoint.
This is my stomping grounds and since I’ve been here (10ish years) this little snack has stood empty. It is now completely redone, with the end result a quirky day-​of-​the-​deadish atmosphere. The menu is on a blackboard and you order from window. Then take a seat at the picnic tables and wait for your name to be called. The turn around is pretty quick. Take it to go or sit and stay because the food is served in a cardboard togo box. No alcohol (well, BYOB) but they have a good selection of Mexican sodas.
We stayed to enjoy the weather. My friend had the buritto and I had the octopus tacos. They were both really good. Very flavorful and fresh.
I’d love to see some small sides for sale to compliment the mains… chips and salsa or something simple (since the kitchen is tiny). Definitely have plans to return sometime.

went back for the Lamb Belly Burrito = bliss
*that banner still sucks though ;)

It’s true the food didn’t suck … but also not great. For a main taco/​burrito, they had just one vegetarian option. It was ok, a little weird with raisins in it. Not as savory as I would have liked. My husband got a pork taco that was average.
Nice outside space, though.

I’ve always been a fan of Modo Mio and Paesano’s, and now with Heffe the holy trinity is complete. Knowing they use the same ingredients as the fine dining Modo, you get quality for on the go for cheap.
Lamb belly, beef cheek, chicken thighs, fried octopus. These are their taco proteins all under $ 10. If you love quality food but have a small wallet, you should give this place a try. Now if only they had a drive through.

Heffe tacos is now one of my favorite places to eat in the city. Chef Peter mcandrew’s take on Mexican fare is refreshing and delicious and the staff is friendly, knowledgable and our food came out really quick. I love to smoke weed and eat and heffe is now my go to place for tacos in philly. For Affordable food in a great neighborhood, heffe is a welcome edition to Fishtown.

Love love love this place. I worked in the restaurant industry for over 10 years and the guys in the kitchen who were from Mexico would cook tacos every Saturday and this takes me back there. The beef cheek is amazing, very beefy flavors with a good bit of fat in them. The kraken is a cool take on seafood tacos that we have enjoyed repeatedly. The bellicimo is their lab belly burrito and again it’s awesome. We have also gotten the queso fundito and it’s outstanding. The only problem with this place is that it’s only a block from my place and that they waited until fall to open. I can tell you right now that I will spending a lot of nights in front of their ordering window and I haven’t found a thing on the menu that is just ok yet.

Another place which serves tacos in Fishtown… But can’t give more than three starts, unfortunately … We tried taco and burrito and none of them were worth it for $ 8 each… Sadly, there better places or even food trucks who does better taco and burritos. Too much salt in burrito…
Decided to give one more chance! I don’t like give bad reviews…
Second time we ordered quesadilla and I asked to add beef, was great choice! Liked so much, and can’t skip the customer service– the guy was great and attentive I twice forgot the ticket and he walked out of kitchen and put in my hands:) our friends got tacos and liked too! Poutine fries were flavorful and filling! Hopefully the quality will stay the same!

This is a take out with outdoor picnic tables. Its not a traditional tex-​mex but more mex but not your traditional mex. Tacos and burritos filled with fresh and high quality ingredients. Not standard Mexican like no combo plates with beans and rice. It’s more like foodtruck fare not on wheels. Excellent cook to order. Tried the Almost Pastor tacos and the Fatty burrito with very tasty chicken and accoutrements
