TACOTACOMEXICANO

The food is absolutely delicious and affordable. I'm impressed by how quickly they prepare everything! Also, the staff is very kind and willing to answer any questions you might have. I enjoy the chicken tacos, which are packed with flavor. The burritos are wonderful as well. They sell Jarritos sodas (I like the guava flavor.) Highly, highly recommend this authentic, laid-back neighborhood gem!

Absolutely love TACOTACO! Food is delicious, but the people are the best part. Owner/operators are so kind and generous, very friendly and happy to help. They truly care about the integrity and authenticity of their food, as well as serving their neighborhood. Definitely recommend!!

amazing tacos I enjoy the variety ! I’ve tasted most of the protein tacos, I want to try the vegan options & breakfast tacos next! Great west Philly find, this place is really good I like that it’s an open kitchen. Food is very fresh and customer service is great. Never had to wait long for my food. Only thing I don’t like is that the flour tortilla tends to get wet/soggy. I find myself popping my tacos in the toaster oven when I get home then I truly enjoy them.

Excellent burritos. They are stuffed and have a lot of flavor. I recommend the chicken or the Al Pastor. I have yet to have a bad meal here. Usually get it to go as they don’t have a lot of seating. Burritos are a little better than the tacos but both are really good.

After having Taco Taco, I will never return to Chipotle ever again. Taco Taco is so fast, they have the friendliest staff and seriously serve the best burritos in West Philly. This has become a staple to many of my Saturday nights and I cannot recommend Taco Taco enough to those in the area. I get the al pastor every time!

I had 4 different tacos and all were delicious, as was the guacamole. The red “special” sauce and green “Halloween” sauce are the grandmother’s recipe. The red has a Lytle heat and lots of flavor. The green is hotter. The owners are friendly and make everything fresh.

The food was really good. I ordered the chicken burrito with chips and queso sauce. The quantity of the food is filling. I’m a huge Mexican food fan but this place is by far top 3. It’s a whole vibe when you walk in. The workers were extremely nice and helpful with getting exactly what I wanted on my food. Definitely recommend.

Best Tacos I’ve had so far! And I’m from Central America so I know what authentic tacos taste like. So much flavor and just so delicious. Authentic tacos. Definitely will be back soon.

This is a review for takeout only! I got the Al pastor burrito and it was absolutely delicious. It was really big and stuffed to the brim. The meat was tender and well marinated. It was also nice and warm so the cheese is well melted. The guac was a big serving and perfectly seasoned! The chips tasted like they were freshly fried. I would highly recommend this place, it was 100% worth it for the cheap price! Everything was well packaged.

Came in today hoping I could buy a breakfast burrito but they don't serve them during weekdays. So I decided to buy a regular carnitas burrito. I grew up in Mexican household so my expectations are high. This was not a good burrito. First, I found a hair in it. So gross. Second, the carnitas was not even crispy. It was soggy and full of fat which I dislike! Ugh Third, when I called and told them I found a hair, no apology nothing. Just "ok I'll tell manager". I wish I could get my money back. I was so hungry and been fasting that I reluctantly ate it. Too far of a trip to go back. So disguising. I should have taken a pic. Never coming here again.

Love this place! Specifically, their fish burrito with pineapple salsa and guacamole aioli sauce. The fish burrito always tastes fresh and is one of many burrito options on their menu. The prices here are also great compared to other Mexican restaurants with similar quality food.

Unassuming place, spacious eating area with a "bohemian" ambience. Burritos and other Mexican fare, comparable to your typical taco place but tasty. Prices are ok.

Ive always passed this place, but finally got to try it for the first time. It was very delicious. The menu is simple yet with a lot of great options. They have tacos burritos and nachos and many version which are all good. I tried some tacos which were packed with a great selection of toppings as well as nachos and queso. The sweet potato burritos are also delicious! This is a solid place for great Mexican food!

A little bit pricey but good quality tacos. The Al Pastor pork was a bit tougher than I'd like, but the pineapple and pork flavors melded together nicely inside their fresh tortilla. The shrimp taco almost tasted like shrimp salad with it's mayo style dressing. The shrimp was well executed and the overall combination of flavors was good. For the fish taco, I found the fish to be just slightly more chewy than I'd like. But still a good taco with fresh fish and toppings.

Hands-down, one of the best Mexican! Quesabirria and Nachos didn't disappoint. Food tasted so fresh.

Yummy for your tummy. First time visiting and it won't be the last. On a whim, I called ahead and ordered these delicious nachos. The picture doesn't do it justice. Very large portion, fresh ingredients and delicious. When I called in they were helpful and friendly. The food was ready very quickly and they were excited to serve. Well done.

I came in around 12 PM on a Saturday and they only had the breakfast menu available but honestly I wasn't mad at it. I tried the breakfast burrito and it was huge! It was filled with cheese, potatoes, eggs, and beans and once I put the hot sauce on top let me tell you... that did it for me! I'm hoping to try their carne asada or Al pastor tacos next weekend time I come but it will have to be after their breakfast. It seemed to end pretty late (~2 pm). My friends got the carne asada breakfast burrito and the bacon breakfast burrito and we're both impressed. All in all this is very good Mexican food with a super causal vibe.

While the food is decent - the service has consistently been below average and disrespectful. The management takes no accountability for their mistakes and cheats it's customers when calling attention to the error. Will not be going back to this place again.

The food here is excellent! It used to be Honest Toms then was bought by the chef. Limited seating is available since the pandemic. The food is made right in front. The pork carnitas were delicious. Some of the best ever! The pork is tender and flavorful with little pieces of pineapple. My husband loves the chicken burrito. It's stuffed with chicken, rice and beans. Steak, pork and chicken as well as vegan options are available. Jarritos soda, coke and bottled water are available.

Great spot for mexican food in university city. The Al Pastor was my favorite -- it had a slightly sweet sauce that made it stand out. I will be back to have another one. On Saturday and Sunday they have breakfast until 2pm, which I'd like to try next time.

Hasn't changed since the Honest Tom's days. Same fresh ingredients and flavors. All about the special and Halloween sauces!

This is a great little hole in the wall in west philly. I think I have been in this restaurant once before but under a difference name. We came here as a vegetarian and a vegan and there were plenty of options and it is so cheap. Two tacos for $7! I ordered the veggie tacos and still felt hungry so I split an order of the walnut (fake beef) tacos with a friend. If I came back, I would definitely just get the walnut tacos as they felt more filling. My friend also got the sweet potato tacos that also sounded good. The veggie tacos were fine but they had chickpeas in them which I found to be a little weird for a taco place. I assumed they would be like fajita veggies but it was not like that. If you don't eat meat definitely get the walnut and sweet potato tacos. They had free water and took my credit card. Can't wait to come back!

The surroundings are no frills, there are a few tables if you wanted to dine in, but I'm ok with that because their burritos are exactly what I need. They're a good size/filling but not overstuffed and messy, lots of flavor, decently priced and the menu has a lot of variety (although I do find myself gravitating towards the same few options and my husband loves the al pastor). If I absolutely have to find a criticism (and I'm really racking my brain for something) I'd say their guacamole is just ok...not the greatest I've ever had...but not something for me to take off a star for. Service is quick and friendly, I love that I can run in and out...this is my go to burrito spot.

Food was very great and fresh the place is small and cozy remind me of Mexican food I had Portland but either way can't miss with little sneaky joint

Pretty good burrito and quick service. I wouldn't say it's the best burrito I've had, but it does do the job. I got the sweet potato burrito because I thought it sounded unique. It was okay, but I would probably skip on this option and try one of the meat burritos instead.

Finally, a good Mexican place in Philly! Coming from San Diego, I've been trying to find any Mexican food that was decent, let alone good, and have come up unsuccessful until I tried Tacotacomexican! This is my second visit and I was pleasantly surprised compared to the first. I got the Al Pastor Burrito and it was pretty good! The meat had lots of flavor and the pineapple brought a little sweet and tart. I thought the burrito was very compact which I thought was funny, but the serving size for the price is decent. Definitely was filling! Although I don't adore the addition of beans and rice (traditionally, it's just the meat w/ maybe pico, guac, salsa, etc.), I'll let it slide this time. I called in to order and walked in about 20 minutes later with it ready. I only wish the service was a bit more polite over the phone and in-person as well as them possibly providing a wait time.

Different name, but same great taste when it comes to Tacotacomexican. My wife and I hadn't eaten here in a good while and figured why not. I expected the order to take a good 20 minutes but to my surprise, that time was cut in half! Parking is always tough near the restaurant and I've learned simply parking in the CVS lot half a block away is way easier for a grab-and-go. The burritos are always filling and flavorful and this experience was no different. The only mistake I made was not getting any sauce for my burrito. I ordered the steak burrito with some nachos which was a mistake in a great way! I did NOT expect that nacho order to be so huge! I was half full on the nachos alone. I'm glad I decided to share some with my wife ( as if I had a choice ha ha), but we barely had room for the burritos. I ate half then ate the other half for breakfast because why not. I definitely want to order those machos again, oops I mean nachos...but they were pretty macho nachos,

Delicious, big as your head burritos. The staff is always friendly. My favorite Mexican in Philly so far.

I love this place, the food is excellent, but service might be starting to take a dip. The cooks are always great, but cashier seemed like I was killing him just to get my pickup order. Very cold person, and asking for a little hot sauce on the side was as if I ruined his day.

Love !!!!!!!!!! Al pastor burrito with sweet potato will always hold a precious place en mi corazon. Me gusta muchoooooo!!!!!

Good burritos. I've tried the sweet potato, chicken and several other flavors. I'm pretty satisfied with my choices everytime I come here. The staff is always friendly and they're never too busy when I go. Nice sit down area for a few minutes whenever I'm in the area to get a bite to eat.

Tacotaco is amazing. I'm not sure what to say. I ordered 20 tacos, which were ready in 10 minutes. This is the perfect place to grab food for your picnic in Clark Park. Their tacos come in 2s at a very reasonable price. The tacos are loaded with meat and even have guacamole. Of my picnic group, fish tacos were voted the best, and while I agree the fish ones are awesome, the chicken tacos are my personal favorite. As for quantity, most people will be very satisfied with 2 tacos of any kind. A super hungry individual may be able to eat 4, but it would be quite a feat. I recommend for two hungry people, get a double of whatever your favorite is and split an order of your second favorite or a try a new one. Tacotaco apparently has breakfast burritos at 10 am on weekends and I'm fairly certain I'll be back tomorrow at 10 am.

The food ordered was yummy and reasonably priced. Appreciate good customer service. Will order again.

I went here on Saturday for the best nachos I have ever had, and the customer service is AMAZING!!!! Friendly, helpful and welcoming!!!! The nachos are packed with fresh ingredients and solid chips that hold them all. One order is enough for two people to actually get full, just and FYI, order extra chips. Also got street corn just because there was a sign on the restaurant for it and it was perfect.

tl;dr this West Philly taqueria remains just as solid and reliable as ever I've been frequenting TacoTaco for upward of 7 years, way back to my freshman year of undergrad. The spot-formerly-known-as-Honest Tom's has changed its name, but not its tried-and-true method. You can't miss the funky rowhome with stacked stone and bright orange accents. Inside, the bright yellow walls and twinkle lights sharply contrast the dilapidated tile floor. The straightforward menu is chalked onto a wall, and it's as simple as selecting your preferred protein (with vegetarian and vegan options also available). Peer past the checkout counter in the back to see the busy kitchen in action. There is minimal indoor seating (on account of COVID), but there is a quaint outdoor area shared with adjacent businesses. Order in advance, and you can expect your food to be ready promptly. For takeout orders, make sure to ask specifically for the must-have sauces. Burritos are my go-to order, and my favorite protein is the well-marinated, pineapple-y Al Pastor. The burritos themselves are short, stout, and surprisingly dense: mine weighed in at well over a pound. The ingredients are mixed before packing them into the tortilla, so each bite hosts a relatively consistent ratio of components. The ingredients taste fresh and high-quality, but the overall flavor errs on the bland side without any add-ons (e.g., salsa, guac, sauces). The chips combos (with either guacamole or pico de gallo) are pricey, but the sizeable bag of sturdy chips and the large container of flavorful dip would alone make a hearty meal. TacoTaco is not the best nor the cheapest burrito option, even when limited to West Philly. However, the eats are remarkably consistent and never disappoint. Even after moving from University City, I still occasionally find myself possessed by a specific hankering for TacoTaco.

So amazing!!! The service is fast & friendly and the food is amazing. I'm vegan and the walnut meat taco blew my mind. My boyfriend has tried basically every else in the menu and it hits every single time.

I know the name says "taco," but for me the burritos are where it's at at TacoTacoMexican. The veggie burrito is probably my single favorite in all of Philadelphia (and I've been trying burritos all over the city since moving here 3 years ago). In addition to getting everything right on the perfect ratio of rice to beans to vegetables and spice, but the secret ingredient that makes this particular burrito sure to knock the socks off vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike is roasted brussel sprouts. Why doesn't every veggie burrito come filled with these delicious things, the way they're served here? Ok, maybe because this particular vegetable isn't particularly traditional for Mexican cuisine (at least in the context of burritos. And I will admit that if you're looking for traditional Mexican cooking, this probably isn't your place. But if you're looking for ridiculously delicious vegetarian burritos (my partner is partial to the walnut biff) look no further. From the looks of other reviews here, their meat options and tacos are pretty fantastic too. And for the price, the burritos are huge. Delicious, great prices, hefty portions, definitely one of my favorite restaurants in the whole city.

A reliably good veggie burrito that leaves you feeling full and good about the choice. Perfect balance of healthy and delicious, plus they make it incredibly fast. You'll be waiting less than 5 minutes most days. Good spot, friendly service. I'm a fan.

Grabbed takeout on a Saturday noon for a big group lunch. The people at the store were extremely friendly and fast! I came in, ordered, and walked out with fresh tacos (7 orders) in about 15 minutes. You can even order ahead on the phone :D The sausage tacos were delicious - I'd just remember to ask for utensils next time!

Small but excellent burrito factory. I ordered a grilled fish burrito and my daughter had a sweet potato one, both excellent, and both ready to go in a blink of an eye. I feel lucky to have two good Mexican spots in the neighborhood. One better for sitting and eating, and this one, just what you need for a quick and very satisfying Mexican food fix.

Niche dining aka hole in the wall -- despite the place name we ordered burritos ($10 each), which were ready in a flash. Shredded pork and Al Pastor came with squeeze bottles-- mild, medium, hot sauces. Washed down with pineapple soda and free water available by the window. Eventually the sauce catches up with you but it's worth it!

We had shrimp tacos and a vegetarian sweet potato burrito. The tacos were really good -- fresh, flavorful, and the shrimp was cooked just right. The burrito was decent. I thought the sweet potatoes could have been cooked longer, and it needed a little extra flavor. Fortunately the restaurant has three house sauces which were good for adding extra flavor. Service was friendly and quick.

this place scammed my friend. they sold him a gift card that he gave me for my birthday, then when i went to use it, they said they don't accept those gift cards any more. if you like places that cheat neighborhood kids, this is the place for you.

These are definitely catered towards white college students and the furthest thing from authentic tacos. They were too bland for my liking and I would much rather have authentic Mexican tacos.

Cute lil place- has a couple spots to sit inside and outside. Usually just 3 people running the whole show. Good food and pretty quick. It's easy to order takeout online, which can be quicker and smoother than by phone. I used to get shrimp tacos and fish burritos here until my last experience a year ago. I ordered online and paid for extra guacamole. When I arrived the cashier informed me that since the fish burrito already comes with guacamole and I ordered online, they couldn't give me extra guacamole and couldn't refund me. I was in shock so I didn't argue with him and left. Honestly this put me off so much I never went back. I worked in the service industry for years and they could've put some guac on the side if they couldn't squeeze it into the burrito or handed me some cash. I already left a tip online too. Ugh. So yeah- docked a star because I've had better tacos elsewhere and another star because customer service needs improvement.

I loved Honest Tom's and now I'm a fan of Tacotacomexican! I believe the restaurant is now run by former employees from Honest Tom's. Their currently offering pickup and delivery. Their service is extremely fast too. I called ahead of time and they told me my order would be ready in 10 minutes. Note that on Saturdays and Sundays, they only serve their breakfast burritos and tacos until 2pm. I got the Al Pastor Burrito ($10) and it was unbelievably filling. Their items are on the pricier side, but the burrito was so packed I think it weighed a few pounds. Plus it had so many fresh ingredients and tasted delicious! I'm a fan and this should definitely be on your list of places to get Mexican food in West Philly!

I loved Honest Tom's. I loved the food and all that Tom stood for. I also appreciate that the folks who own this restaurant now, which is Tacotacomexican are the people who worked with Tom, putting out all of that delicious food. We had a very long day yesterday in which details are unimportant. However, the details that ARE important is that it's good to end long days (or most days) with a delicious burrito. That's where Tacotacomexican comes in. My kid had the steak burrito...big chunks of very well seasoned meat all encased in rice and beans and pico and cheese... so good. I had the al pastor which was delicious. The pop of sweet with deliciously seasoned pork was all I wanted. My kid has already decided what she is going to order the next time (which will be very soon). The staff was very kind, and very masked up and the food was prepared quickly. Go get a burrito!

OMG BEST BREAKFAST BURRITOS IN PHILLY! They did my bacon well-done, and I like that they use the hard chorizo. They're huge, stuffed with lots of well-seasoned meat and egg and other deliciousness. I cannot wait until next weekend so I can have another!

Today I enjoyed the Breakfast with Chorizo Sausage it was loaded with crumbled meat, egg, cubed potatoes, and the pineapple salsa (I'm addicted to that it's so good). Again service with a smile I'm guessing, under the mask. A kind gesture and wink by the cute guy at the counter, he's so pleasant. All the ingredients were fresh; the chorizo was excellent, spicy, and tender. This was a two-handed meal and enough to feed easily two hungry people.the service was fast. Here's a great option for a kickin breakfast that will make your breakfast on the weekends easy, quick and fill you up with enough protein to give you the energy you want to tackle your to-do list!

I ordered the veggie burrito for iftar and it made me sick to my stomach . I don't know if the food was bad it not this has never happened to me before . I've been coming here for almost 3 years now :(:(:(

My fiancé and I love this place!! It's a hidden gem. Best taco place in West Philly. Sometimes the steak can be dry but it's always worth it. The birria is banging. Try this place folks.

Bottom Line, Up Front: Amazing Mexican restaurant housed in a tiny little shop in West Philly. Huge portions & friendly staff. Best thing on their menu are their breakfast burritos. Almost every weekend I look forward to getting their breakfast burrito. I usually get bacon with all the toppings which include potatoes, egg, salsa, queso, beans, etc. It is SO DELICIOUS and probably the best breakfast burrito I have ever had. Every time I have guests visit me, I take take them here to get a breakfast burrito and every single person says the same thing: best one they have ever had. The only 2 negatives are 1. Sometimes the bacon one can get a little too salty. (But I've only noticed that once or twice), and 2. They only serve these on weekends until 1 or 2pm. The portion is very generous and I am usually very full after one burrito. Their nachos are also delicious. Again the portion is huge, but considering the price, I think the amount is reflected in what you pay. I get the chicken nachos as a full meal, and I ask for the queso on the side so the nachos don't get soggy as I take my time to eat it. The staff there are so friendly and accommodating. They do not give you any attitude if you ask for extra of their house-made hot sauces or any special requests.

Chips and pico for 8 dollars? Insanity Wonder how they are doing compared to Honest Tom's, as they changed the portions and the prices (not for the better...)

this is a university city hidden gem! service is quick and friendly and their tacos are amazing for the price

if you want an al pastor burrito this is the place to go. absolutely amazing chips and pico. service was very quick and friendly. highly recommend.

They sell "burrito bowls," and that's just not a forgivable offense. The restaurant was small, lightly decorated, not a place to meet and relax. The food was served fast, but it had a lingering smell and consisted of a bunch of vaguely Mexican things shoved together and packaged for white college students. Mostly, I want people to know that Burritos are not bowls! Also, tacos are not salads. For real. Don't support restaurants that degrade traditional culture, using it as a marketing tactic rather than give it the respect it deserves.

Just all kinds of awesome here. Two awesome young brothers who bought the business from the previous owner. An awesome small biz not too far from the higher rent streets of west Philly. And, awesome tacos. They have burritos and guacamole, nacho, etc too but we got the al pastor and steak tacos. Super fresh, generously portioned, inexpensive/fairly priced and super tasty. Love this spot and these great people. They deserve huge suppor.
