Los Taquitos de Puebla

This place is awesome and is one of the most authentic Mexican food places I have ever eaten at. Has a great atmosphere and is right next to the Italian Market, for people on a shopping day looking for somewhere to eat.

Decided to try this place in the Italian Market. We weren’t disappointed at all. We had the chicken burritos and they were incredible. The chips and salsa were great and hot. We couldn’t have asked for a better stop in our journey. We will be back.

Found this place on WISHUNU website & wanted to try it. Disappointed in quality & freshness of food. If you like spicy meats that are cured this is the place for you. I filled up on tortilla bread & chihuahua cheese which was ok but not what I am used to at other Philly Mexican restaurants. So many more wonderful choices in the city. Don’t bother. Also we were the only diners in the restaurant on a Friday night at 8 pm.

Definitely coming back here! They were so kind and gave great service! We had the Deep Fired Whole Tilapia that was to die for! Juicy and filled with flavor.

I ate here yesterday with a friend and both of us got food poisoning. This is great because I have my job interview today. Also, the food was not at all impressive for the price. I definitely had better Mexican food in the Italian market.

I recently stopped in this little restaurant for dinner before popping over for dessert at the Rim Café. My family is Mexican, so I was interested in tasting some of the acclaimed philadelphia cuisine. The interior/​exterior design was pretty nice; a little worn, but colorful and modern. I order a fairly traditional meal– horchata to drink, with tacos al pastor. They start you off with chips and two different kinds of salsa, both of which were delicious but really spicy! The horchata was pretty good too, though I wondered if it may have been a mix instead of handmade. Unfortunately, our main entrée’s weren’t as great, which is why I’m giving it 3 stars. The tacos looked yummy, but thats about it. The pork wasn’t as seasoned as some others that I have had, and it tasted as though it was either frozen or had been out for a day. And the cilantro and onions weren’t as crisp as they could be. The staff were very nice, however, and we spent a total of $ 23 for dinner for two. I can’t condemn the whole restaurant because I’ve only been once and it may have other gems, but overall I probably wouldn’t visit again.

Located a little down the street from Pat’s and Geno’s you will find this place. I had an amazing time here with a group of friends in Philly last month. It’s a little hole in the wall, so don’t let that be a deterrent. Any place that has a «People Love Us On Unilocal» sticker is always a good choice.
This place is the real deal when it comes to tacos. I had the chorizo, jalepeño, y queso tacos, and it was everything. I also snagged a piece on my friend lengua de carne (cow tongue) tacos, and they were also pretty tasty. My friends and I were not dissappointed with anything that was put in front of us. Our only complaint is that we wish it had some air conditioning. It got very hot and sweaty, especially eating all that good spicy food.
The staff was awesome as well, very helpful and friendly and we got $ 20 off our total bill because we were in a group. Score! This place is a must for Philly locals and visitors to expierence an awesome taquería.

Short rib tacos are so tender and good. Tacos al Pasteur are good too especially with the melted cheese and avocado. Guacomole has diced jalapeño which I found better than other places. Cash only

Puebla was my favorite taco spot… WAS. Then something happened.
I was first introduced to a Puebla pork taco at the yearly food festival that takes place on 9^th St (Italian market). It was love at first taco! All it took was one bite and I was hooked! It was so good I had to come back for more, and I did.
The restaurant was very small, like a little hole in the wall but those usually turn out to be a gem. The first few visits were great. My tacos were on point, price was fair and quality and taste were there. Then product availability became an issue. They were always out of something I ordered and well that made me unhappy… It gets worst… The taste and quality of their food went from a 10 to a –1 FAST! I don’t know if they have changed owners or cooks but their food stinks. At this point the food is not something worth paying for. I really do not recommend this place. I’m really disappointed. Save your money and go to Taqueria Veracuzana were consistency, quality and taste remain the same.

Order the Tacos de Pollo (chicken tacos) and you’ll never look back. Holy hell are they good!
Apart from that, the décor is great, the staff is friendly, and Tony who used to work at La Lupe is now here, and he’s awesome. Staff is super nice. BYOB!

A friend brought me here following a workout. I ordered the Bisteca con queso. Served with jalapeño infused onions. Wow. Add the red or green chili sauce (I tried both) and a bottle or 2 of Dos Equis. Awesome meal. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Okay, it was dumb to order tacos on May 5^th, I get that. But two hours for delivery? For three things? A little much.
The quesadilla was average, the chicken tacos were okay. Well seasoned. The shredded beef tacos were yuck. Overlooked, rubbery, and cold. I asked for sour cream on side only on the chicken and it came on top. They included a Togo tin of lemons and picked cucumber… weird.
I might be convinced to give this place another chance as I’ve worked in restaurants forever and know that a busy holiday can screw anyone up.

Best tacos I’ve had in Philly! (yet)
Seasoned to perfection al Pastor pork. Melt in some Chihuahua cheese, and add a slice of avocado on top = heaven. Then just for good measure, add a side of cowboy beans (soup laden with more pork). And there you have the «Al Pastor con quesillo, frijoles charros, y aguacate»
Bonus: they’re open late, and delivery with online ordering from grubhub and a few other sites.
Double bonus: extremely spicy salsa verde.

I love this place. I’ve been a handful of times, and every time, we’ve ordered the queso fundido (think Mexican fondue) — such a good starter! Comes with warm flour tortillas for dipping.
Great chips and salsa to much on while you’re waiting.
Super attentive service from both the host and our waitress on our last visit (weekday, lunch).
I most recently got the chorizo tacos, which were standard, but good. Tacos come with lots of accoutrements on the side (like radish, cucumber, etc), which is nice for munching!
There’s lots of crazy tacos on the menu, but I tend to stick to the basics, which are always satisfying.
Food is a 4, but with the addition of really good/​fast service, 5 stars. Good for a casual date or with a few friends.

I went back and forth as to what rating to actually give them. I’ve ordered delivery from them a few times and I LOVE certain items and HATE other items. I’d probably rate them at a 3.5 because the items I LOVE were really, really good.
The dish I’ve loved, and wouldn’t hesitate to order again in the future, is the chorizo tacos. They’re so simple but so perfect. Ground chorizo is cooked and placed into corn tortillas and topped with raw onion and cilantro. The spiciness of the sausage against the almost sweetness of the onions and the herbiness of the cilantro is the perfect balance. Their salsas are also insanely delicious (even if they are extremely spicy). I tried a bit of the guacamole before (even though I have a mild allergy to avocados) and it was spicy but very flavorful.
I’ve also ordered the quesadillas and found them to be very bland. This most recent order, I got the chicken quesadilla. The chicken was lacking in any kind of seasoning, it was moist and tender though, so I’ve got to give them credit for that. They also had a «cheese» sauce on it that was rubbery and congealed so that was completely unappetizing.
Their menu is large and there are a lot of things I’d like to order and try, I will probably just always get an order of chorizo tacos in case I’m not happy with what else I get.

Crave, crave, crave!
I literally crave their tacos al pastor! Extremely spicy and very flavorful. The bold flavors of the pork were balanced by the sweetness of the pineapple pieces on top! Good portion for the price.
Skip the guacamole and come for cheap, tasty tacos.

A few months ago they used to have the best tacos in Philly (This is coming from me, a born and raised mexican). I dont know what happened lately but the past 4 times that I have been there they re JUST ALRIGHT. I dont know if they changed cook, owner or food provider but the flavor is not the same.
Also the place looks run down, tables are all crooked, the place is really dark, the servers are not attentive and after all this time in business they still dont take credit cards.
I feel like they became popular and they stopped caring about the quality of the food.
I personally think that now Los Gallos (9^th and Wolf) has better flavor, more variety, is cleaner and the portions are bigger.

Delicious Authentic Tacos. If you eat at Taco Bell then stop reading NOW. This place is NOT for you.
Finally got a chance to eat here (It’s been on my list for a while now).Really Authentic Taqueria (They could really use some of these in Cancun I tell ya)…Anyways, Tried the Queso Fondito with the Mushrooms, Guacamole and the two types of Tacos (Al Pastor — Pork with Pineapples and Beef Short Rib). They were all so tasty and flavorful… The two kinds of Salsas that accompany the food are so hottt !!! but a hint of them on your tacos is a must !!!
Can’t wait to try more of their dishes (especially the more exotic cuts. Tripe, Tongue etc)

When I walked in here, I thought perhaps I’d found a gem. It was small, packed, and virtually everyone here was Mexican. We managed to score a seat pretty quickly.
I didn’t want to be typical and order a taco or quesadilla so I went w/​the chorizo gringa, which I realized was basically a quesadilla when I got it. It was served with a side of guacamole and was pretty tasty. My boyfriend got the beef short rib tacos which a bit overdone, as the beef was really chewy.
The server was really sweet but she didnt’ speak much English and kept on forgetting our drink orders. They also had a lot of ‘beef head meat’ on the menu (ie beef eye, beef mouth, beef tongue) which I’m not adventurous enough to try. The place also wasn’t as cheap as I thought it’d be– the ‘special tacos’ ranged from 13 – 15 bucks. Regardless, I will probably try another one of the many Mexican places in the neighborhood next time.

I just realized that I never updated my review as I said I would after having a chance to dine in the restaurant. Well guess what? I had a meal at Los Taquitos de Puebla and if I took anything away from the experience, it was that this place is simply not for me.
The restaurant was very quick-​serve, get in and get out, but that doesn’t excuse trash on the floor. I’m a big believer in putting your best foot forward and that is possible even without fancy decorations or a big budget. Cleanliness is next to godliness, mis amigos.
There are still things to like: real coke in glass bottles, ridiculously spicy and flavorful salsas and the traveling tacos al pastor stand seen at farmers’ markets and food truck gatherings. I dig these guys for street food but that’s about it.

al pastor. crack.
