We order from La chingonita often. As someone that grew up in Mexico this place is probably my favorite in Philly. The food is always delicious. Service is friendly and fast. 12/10 I would recommend!

Delicious!!! And the prices are great. Definitely coming back. I had chicken enchiladas (really good) and my wife had steak tacos, which she also said was really good.

This place was really good food wise and service wise. I had the chorizo tacos and it was amazing. I also had the chips and queso and the queso was very delicious. I will recommend anyone to come here. Also, pricing is very reasonable.

Me and My wife visited our favorite taco place, only to discover that it had permanently closed down. We searched for nearby taco places, and this one caught our attention. I must say, the food was incredible, and the service was excellent. We’ve found our new go-to spot for tacos. Thank you so much for your exceptional service. I’ll definitely be returning with more friends.

I had the Chorizo Torta, and the trio of chicken, chorizo and steak tacos. The meat on each were well flavored and moist. Definitely the best tacos in northern liberties/Fishtown. The chorizo was delicious... I wish I had asked where they sourced it. The restaurant space is built for a quick stop, and still well worth it. I appreciated the great service and will be back again.

Delay in writing review. Been in a food coma. I wasn't ready for what the birria tacos were giving. The cashier was really sweet and was helping me figure out what I wanted with it being my first time. They had me at birria and Agua frescas. I couldn't wait to get home and try the food. Started at the corn covered in tasty queso fresco and did the typewriter eating of that. Then made my way to the chicken taco. The taco looked simple garnished with onion and cilantro with a radish. The flavors hit me not disappointed at all. Finally made it to the strawberry Agua Fresca. Never had one taste like it and they put fresh strawberry in it. The birria tacos were nice and juicy. I'm shocked I made it to the churro. The churro was still warmed and filled with some cream. I'd honestly never be able to work there. I'd get in trouble for eating.
