I really wanted to like this place despite the bad reviews on google. Especially since this is the only halal Mexican restaurant in philly that I know of. Unfortunately the google reviews are accurate. Anyone that says food is good here simply is not a foodie or just likes bland food. I ordered the birrira tacos and the chorizo quesadillas (beef). Usually I’ll order way more food but due to being skeptical I decided to take it slow and order as I go. Well, birrira tacos were a complete let down. To begin, the tacos just looked very unappealing. The meat was so so bland. I can tell they added some “nihari” masala to the meat and called it a day. The consommé looked appealing despite lacking the layer of fat but it just tasted like water. The 3 tacos were served with a roasted pepper and some large rings of onions and side salsa. Taking a bite from the onions and drinking the salsa is what made it edible. Also, there were some cucumbers, turnips and lime. The chorizo quesadilla was better. BUT I don’t know what tortilla they used because it was super THICK! Even though it was edible it still was not worth the price. Customer service was fine. It’s a small place with few chairs so mostly people do take out. Unfortunately I don’t see myself going there again to try other items.
