Came on a Sunday late afternoon, not busy at all. Very well decorated, great music and very clean! Had the Picaditas and Chalupitas for appetizers, and Tacos de Barbacoa, Parrillada Mexican(steak and octopus-we're perfectly cooked) and Octopus Tortas. All were amazing, great flavor, very well put together, fresh ingredients also, everything we ordered had great taste. Also ordered their Horchata Tres leches(amazing, never had it before), and also had a cheesecake. The restaurant has a good ambience too, and service was impeccable very attentive to all our questions. It's BYOB with street parking. Would definitely comeback and recommend for great authentic Mexican food.

Carnitas Taco

I walk past this very bright and fun looking restaurant every day and I couldn't wait to try it with my girlfriends for my birthday dinner. Five of us had dinner and everyone loved their meal and we all got different things! Watermelon gazpacho, shrimp tacos, oysters, Mexican corn, Mexican Coke, rice and beans, bang bang shrimp, everything was delicious and made perfection and beautifully arranged! This place is a treat and it's worth a visit! Our server was very polite and accommodating.

I just left this restaurant and the food was unbelievably good. I wasn't a big fan of the horchata tres leches cake just because I'm used to the super sweet flavor of the regular tres leches cake but my fiend loved his so it's just an opinion. What a delicious food! Nice place and the chef need to ge his compliments. I'm definitely coming back.

This place is a gem! The food is authentic Mexican and is some of the best we have ever had! It's a BYOB or BYOT which made it a very reasonably priced dinner!

Tuna Taco

My new favorite Mexican restaurant. I'm so happy I discovered this place with my husband. We went a Sunday afternoon and had lunch- and had a great time. The restaurant starts you with chips and salsa which is great. We also got the guacamole which was super fresh. They have a wide array of tacos from their taco bar, we had the lamb barbacoa and tuna tacos. Both were absolutely delicious. The tuna tacos have a nice fusion flair with Japanese elements. For other dishes: we loved the enchiladas de mole, they were very decadent and packed with flavor. I also noticed you get 4 enchiladas! A lot of places they give you 2 or 3 (don't get my started on the ones that give you just 1) so we were definitely full and satisfied! The spicy potatoes are another Asian Mexican fusion dish with really good flavor. We ended with the Churro Cheesecake which was perfectly balanced and not too sweet. Every dish was beautifully plated. We can't wait to go back!!

This place is a cute little restaurant located on the corner in South Philly. There's street parking available. It's also BYOB! I think it slipped my mind but I would've definitely brought some alcohol! However, their margarita mix did just the trick as well. I went here with a group on a hot Saturday day and we were seated immediately. I 100% recommend the elote. It was so good. The margarita mix with tamarind juice was so good as well. That hint of tajin chili/lime seasoning gave it that little kick! The bang bang fried shrimp is to die for! The pollo tacos I didn't get to try, but they looked great. Quesabirria tacos were so good as well as the sauce. The Tinga empanadas - I also didn't try but it looked appetizing. The guacamole and queso fundido were soooooo goooood! They were hot and we may have mixed them together for that zesty flavor. I also like that they offered bottled water. Overall, the price wasn't bad and the food was actually really good. I would definitely come back here because the prices were decent for the food that we had and they were good portion sizes that we didn't feel bloated afterwards. This was a great place and I would recommend it to anyone who loves trying out new foods! I also liked that it was family owned and our waitress was friendly as well. 10/10 overall.

Never saw smaller portions from a mexican restaurant in my life. It was not cheap either. The tacos were 2-3 bites and the tostadas were the size if my finger. Mexican rice was microwaved white rice. How this place has all great reviews I am confused! Yuppie don't know good food its really a shame they run yelp . Also they gave no receipt

Nopalito soup is a must to try

I absolutely love this restaurant. It has been my go to place for 2 years to grab tacos whenever I…read morehave the craving and it always hits the spot. The staff are super friendly and your food comes our pretty quickly. Im a die hard fan of the Tacos Don Barriga and getting Lengua (beef tongue) with it. They never skimp out on the amount of meat you get. I usually can only eat one taco and the rest go into a to go box. Their Barria also slaps, the consome it comes with is a secondary meal in itself if you take it home and add it to ramen (just sayin). They're open until 10pm so you can still get a late dinner meal and it wouldn't be any different from an order made earlier in the day. Love the consistency to a delicious meal.

Today, my family and I went to Don Barriga, Mexican Grill, and we were so excited just based off of…read morethe images on Yelp. When we walked in, we were immediately greeted and were told to sit wherever we would like. We sat up against the window and we were surprised at how fast the server came over with water chips and two different types of salsa. The server then told us the flavors of aqua frescas that were available for the day and also told us we could order from the breakfast menu if we would like. The menu was large, but had a lot of solid choices in each category so it made it hard to wanna decide what to get because everything sounded so good based on descriptions and images. My Fiancée and brother-in-law both decided to get the burrito California, one got Chicken Tinga and the other got steak. We ordered a large guacamole for the table as an appetizer and I got the Birria quesadillas. The guacamole came out quickly, but was very fresh and you can tell it was made at the moment that it was ordered. The flavor was fantastic, and it was salted and citrus perfectly. The burritos came out immediately after we were halfway through the appetizer and they were stuffed and full, and came with a small side of guacamole for both. My quesadilla came with a consume, and it was flavorful and smoky, but not heavily salted, which was a fantastic surprise. The interior of the restaurant was very clean and had beautiful artwork throughout the entire restaurant. They had Spanish music playing in the background and it was at a great volume that didn't feel intrusive to our conversation, but also made us feel like we could vibe with the music at the same time. They do have a full bar that you can order drinks from and we would definitely consider doing that for a dinner in the future. The service was amazing, food was amazing, and the place was amazing. We will definitely be back and bringing more people with us.

okay quick run down! great place!! they have indoor and outdoor seating. we brought two dogs and…read morethey happily gave us seating on the patio and offered to give our dogs water. staff was very friendly and helpful. Free Chips & Salsa: comes as a free starter. the green sauce is my favorite. the chips do have some beans on them. Tortilla Soup: very good. me and my sister split this. for the price and size, i'd say very worth it. Appetizer Sampler: included corn, empanadas, queso, nachos, pico and guac. everything on this platter was great! if you have a party willing to share, I think this is very worth it for the amount, variety, and price. Cheese Enchiladas: I get the verde sauce. came with three enchiladas. definitely enough for one person. very good and typical enchilada. Definitely get the horchata if you go. also the place is BYOB.

The restaurant is located in a very small strip of stores - next to a market and bakery. Upon…read moreentering, there is a small host station, and one large room. The night we dined the restaurant was pretty busy, but there were no servers or hosts in sight. After a very brief wait, a server and host/server came out of the kitchen and sat us immediately. We started with horchata to drink, which arrived in mason jars with a dusting of cinnamon. The menu is very seafood heavy, so if you're not into fish or seafood, your options are limited. With that being said, the menu leans authentic Mexican. Every table receives fresh homemade nachos with a black bean topping and two salsas- one mild and one spicy. We decided to do the appetizer sampler so we could try a little of a variety of things. It came with an empanada, elote, nachos, guacamole, and queso fundido. The presentation was awesome, as it arrived on a wooden board. The empanada was cut into 4 pieces and was filled with chicken tinga and cheese. I absolutely loved it, while my friend hated it, which was crazy to me. It was so flavorful and had almost a carnitas flavor to it. The guac was fresh, the nachos were crispy and packed with toppings, elote was flavorful and fresh, and queso fundido was super filling. We almost filled up on the apps, but our birria tacos came out and they were fantastic. Our server poured the hot consommé over onions in a little bowl and the flavor was rich and paired with the birria so well. The corn tortillas were crispy and even though we could only eat one of the three, we took the rest home. We also split a side of Mexican rice and beans, which were average and pretty much what you'd expect. We aren't sure if there is dessert, as there was none on the menu, but we were too full even if we were offered options. Our server was attentive even though it was very busy. All in all, I would give it a 4 and my dining companion would give it a 3 so 3.5 would be perfect. However I went up to a 4 because I enjoyed what I ordered and think it deserves that half of a star.

The outside reminded me of something I'd see in LA. The restaurant very much has retro diner vibes. The inside is very colorful, and there is a beaded entrance that leads to the bathroom. The menu, itself, was a bit limited. We got there around brunch but it was a bit later in the day, so I wasn't necessarily in the mood for breakfast items. I opted to get the General Tso wings with the sauce on the side and the chorizo and shrimp egg roll while my friend opted for the squid salad with wings, too. We both ordered a cocktail. I had the pomegranate spiked lemonade with tequila and my friend had the spiced agua Fresca with whiskey. My drink was definitely on the sweeter side, while hers was more of a smooth drink. The food came out pretty quickly. They first brought out the salad which was massive! We shared that for a bit. It was pretty good, although it seemed to be scant on dressing. Then the wings came out. They seemed to be air fried, not too greasy, and very crisp. The sauce was savory and tangy. Lastly, were the egg rolls. They were unlike any egg rolls I've seen before, but were not short on taste. The shrimp and sausage were plentiful and it was tasty. To be honest, half of it filled me up. Overall, I see this more as an appetizer type of place. Not a place I'd go for a more filling entree. The vibe is nice, and definitely a cool place to visit. My friend mentioned they do a lot of community events which I love.

Last night I was in the Lehigh Valley and decided to dine at La Maya restaurant in Hellertown, PA…read more I was intrigued by reviews citing its tasty modern Mexican cuisine and excellent cocktails. La Maya did not disappoint! The ambience is dimly lit, and perfect for a romantic dinner. On the cocktails side, I tried "Señor Sal" - a dirty martini / Vesper riff featuring their proprietary gin and vodka, dry vermouth, pickled jalapeño, olive brine, and lemon infused olive oil. It was a visually attractive, delicious, and sturdy cocktail. Just what the doctor ordered! Later I tried the house margarita. It was balanced and refreshing. There are options to add flavorings to the house margarita spec for +$2 (e.g., Matcha Coconut, Spicy, Guava Mint, Caramelized Pineapple). My dinner companion tried the caramelized pineapple and loved it. On the culinary side, the guacamole was fresh and flavorful. For an entree, I selected the Carne Nortena - a tequila-marinated ribeye with sauteed scallions, shisito peppers. The steak was cooked perfectly to temperature (medium-rare) and amazingly juicy. The roasted sweet potato wedges (Camote) were also outstanding. Don't forget dessert - the coconut flan was to die for! Service - I believe our server's name was Alex, was on-point. He was knowledgeable about both the food and beverages, and did not rush us. Thank you La Maya for a great evening. I will definitely return.
