The Newest Restaurants In Philadelphia - Philadelphia - The Infatuation

"More tacos and cemitas are never a bad thing—especially if they’re from El Chingon. The fantastic South Philly Mexican spot opened its second location at a corner patio in Fishtown. They’re serving up the usual suspects: elote, tacos, and cemitas, and will soon have margaritas as well. We checked out El Chingon Fishtown and added it to the Hit List." - candis mclean, alison kessler

Best New Restaurants in Philly Right Now | Eater Philly

"Chef Carlos Aparicio is bringing the flavors of East Passyunk’s El Chingon to a new location in Fishtown, the former Heffe tacos spot. Guests can order Aparicio’s exemplary cemitas, tacos with sourdough tortillas, sweet conchas and more, from the takeout window on Front Street. There are shaded picnic tables to sit and eat, and plans for a jardin de agave, or agave garden in the near future." - Maddy Sweitzer-Lamme

El Chingon Fishtown - Review - Fishtown - Philadelphia - The Infatuation

"Like the original in East Passyunk, the new El Chingon is bringing bold color and flavors to Fishtown. The tacos and cemitas (on housemade tortillas and buns) maintain the same high standards—the birria and al pastor versions of both are juicy, deeply savory, and have just a hint of spice. And if you’re looking for something lighter, both the guacamole and elote are fantastic. Soon enough, margaritas will be available to enjoy on the small patio, but until then, it’s an easy place to grab a great Mexican spread without the tequila, or take your haul to go. video credit: CANDIS R.

Philadelphia Restaurant Openings to Know, June 2025 | Eater Philly

"A South Philly favorite has opened a year-round outdoor outpost in Fishtown (opening June 18) that brings the restaurant’s sought-after cemitas and tacos cradled in sourdough tortillas to a new neighborhood; chef-owner Carlos Aparicio has also created a “jardin de agave,” his take on a beer garden, to complement the casual, al fresco dining." - Erika Adams

First time I’ve been here food was decent but priced too high . I had the mushroom taco it was very tasty, 3 tacos for $20, I would expect something different level, I understand the ingredients and the preparation it takes and it was tasty I just thought this should be pumped up with some nice garnish a small salad with thin, sliced radishes is what I’ve seen a lot of lately in most places that serve vegan tacos, maybe even another taco most places that we have been to average around $13-$16 for three vegan tacos. They always have garnish and a few sauces on the side The guacamole was very tasty with fresh made tortilla chips, so for one fruit drink, guacamole and chips and three tacos $50 which included tip of seven dollars. I will be curious to what other people think. Note this is a really neat place. it is colorful has nice picnic table style seating good music. I just think that it’s out of reach price wise for some folks. when i do food reviews for me value is just as important as taste so while the food was good, it was not great.

This place was recommended by a coworker and mind it did not disappoint. Such great vibes and atmosphere. Staff are very nice and friendly especially Carmen. Easy to order and food comes out hot and delicious. I will definitely recommend this nice hidden gem.

I ordered the mahi mahi tacos ($18) and the iced oat milk horchata ($6). The horchata was amazing but the tacos were bland. I wish they came with more flavorful toppings or a side of salsa. However, when I asked for hot sauce they gave me a habanero sauce that was delicious (and hot)! The vibes of this place are great, the kiosk ordering was easy, and the people working there were friendly. For the prices, I just wish the food was better.

Delicious authentic tacos and guacamole with chips! The steak tacos were so juicy and not dry at all. Also, on the weekends it's so easy to get a drink at the Jardin (they come with cute little cocktail picks) while you wait for your food order. Thanks, El Chingon!
