I have been avoiding this restaurant because of the low Yelp rating. However, my friend booked this for a group dinner on a Friday night. It was a great experience. The server was great and attentive. The atmosphere was nice. We sat inside, but the outside was crowded on a beautiful night. The food was wonderful. I had the jerk chicken fajita. It isn't really the traditional jerk chicken, but it is still tasty, cooked perfectly with a good seasoning. The fajita was very good. My kid got the ground beef salad and ended up finishing the entire thing. Others at our table got fish tacos and enjoyed them also. The server came by several times, even on a very busy Friday night. I will definitely come back! read more

Food: pretty good. Atmosphere: fabulous. Service? Ah, well... If I hadn't stood by the kitchen waiting to find our server, and if at least two other employees hadn't asked whether I needed help, we still might not have our food. I try to be careful about leaving poor reviews. It's not always fair because things happen. I've been to El Poquito many times because it's within walking distance, has decent food, and a fantastic atmosphere. About 95% of the time, however, the service is either bad or outright horrendous. This last visit (May 2026): Two of the four of us arrived promptly at 6:45 and ordered chips and salsa. We waited 15-20 minutes for the chips, which seems like a long time--even during the busiest part of the evening--for scooping some chips into a bowl and spooning out some salsa (verde style, and tasty). But seriously, that's a long wait for such a basic order. The other two members of our party arrived around 7:05, and we ordered our meals around 7:15. To be fair, our server was very nice and attentive. He stopped by a few times with the assurance that "the food will be right out." Want to guess what happened next? If your answer was "nothing," you'd be spot on. Around 7:55, I went inside to find our server. Again, he was very nice. I stood near the ordering computer between the bar and the kitchen. Two different employees asked if they could help. I explained how long we had been waiting. One of them--who I think was the manager--disappeared into the kitchen with a "let me go see what's going on." I waited for her to come back with an "it will be right out," but, like our food, she never made it back out of the kitchen. Another waiter (also very nice) found our server, who said, "You don't have your food yet?" He then looked over at the table of three very hungry people (including one 10-year-old) and responded, "Fuck, really?" My reply, somewhat under my breath, was, "Yeah, really." Blah, blah, blah... eventually the food arrived. The manager apologized and removed some drinks from the bill. read more

We went to El Poquito yesterday for Cinco de Mayo. Parking is metered on the street, but I definitely recommend parking in the small lot around the corner behind the Chestnut Hill Grill and walking over. The place was PACKED wall to wall because of the holiday. The wait was about an hour, so we decided to order food to go instead. I ordered a strawberry mango margarita from the bar, and honestly, I've never had a margarita taste like a tequila sunrise before. It was thick and just not good. Jesse made it, and when I mentioned it didn't taste like a margarita, Chyna (not sure of the spelling) attempted to remake it. The second one was slightly better, but still not what I'd expect from a margarita at a Mexican restaurant. We ordered the 4 taco platter (about $21). You can only choose two of the same taco type. We tried the short rib, chicken, and pork tacos along with the street corn. The tacos were okay maybe a 5/10. They fell apart. The black beans and rice were actually good. The street corn, however, lacked flavor and didn't really resemble traditional street corn. Barely any cheese or seasoning. Even the lime served with the tacos was so dry we couldn't get juice out of it. Overall, maybe the kitchen was overwhelmed because of Cinco de Mayo, so the food just didn't have that extra care behind them. First impressions matter, and this one unfortunately missed the mark for us. On the positive side, the space is large inside, they have a nice patio/garden seating area outdoors, and reservations are available. We might go back and try taco Tuesday. read more

This place is pretty average. We went at 2:30 PM on a Sunday, which is the sweet spot if you'd like to order from both the brunch and happy hour menus during your time there. The place was pretty empty inside, so we were able to easily get a table without a reservation. The food was okay, there is nothing to rave about or making me want to come back, but nothing was bad either. The best thing I had were the yucca fries. read more

We sat at the bar so we could watch both the Knicks and Phillies games, which made for a fun atmosphere. To start, we ordered the salsa and chips. The chips were fresh and crispy, and the salsa had a nice flavor with just the right amount of kick. For our entrée, we had the jerk chicken fajitas, which arrived sizzling and were packed with flavor. The chicken was tender, well-seasoned, and paired perfectly with the peppers and onions. Between the good food, game-day atmosphere, and friendly service, we had a great experience and would definitely return. read more

Cute casual Mexican inspired cuisine!!! The seating was slightly odd bc my group of five got seated at a high top booth, where the middle was completely open. There was a small ledge to rest my feet, but one wrong move and you'd be dangling! The server was visibly tired that evening. He was not as attentive as my group would have liked The food was mid. The chicken tinga tacos were not super flavorful. And they immediately fell apart after picking them up. The side of rice and beans looked well prepared ahead of time, like they were sitting under a heat lamp for a minute. Other items on the menu looked more delightful. Maybe I ordered something not that popular. The restaurant was loud but had nice decor and seating area. Good for groups. Even an outdoor seating area when the weather is nicer! Parking can be challenging, mostly paid street parking. Probably wouldn't be my first choice for Mexican styled food next time. Tldr Food 3/5 Service 3/5 Ambiance 3/5 read more

Service was okay. Food was terrible. I ordered sizzling fajitas taste horrible, poor quality meat. My husband ordered the jerk chicken fajitas. That was a mess! Both of us felt nauseous. Never again so disappointed. What a waste of money. I don't recommend at all. There are better places to eat in the area. read more

I recently made a reservation online and, unknowingly, it was booked for an outdoor table. When we arrived, it was 30 degrees, rainy, and extremely cold. Although it was clear this was an honest mistake, the restaurant made no effort to accommodate us with an indoor table. Despite the conditions, we did our best to enjoy the meal--and I want to note that our server, Michael, was fantastic. We were told that guests "sit outside in this weather all the time," which was surprising given that not a single other table was seated outdoors during our visit. Unfortunately, this lack of willingness to assist or adjust left a very negative impression. While we appreciated the service from our server, this experience makes it unlikely that I will choose this restaurant for future plans, parties, or reservations. read more

I stopped by for Happy Hour! I hadn't been here in over a year-I was excited to be back! The menu has changed and it seems the drinks weren't as 'crisp'. Lil watered down Margarita was disappointing! I didn't stay for dinner as intended. I'll come back to explore this new menu! read more

I visited this establishment, on may 5th. I wasn't surprised when they said there was a 30 to 40 min wait. I was surprised that the entire time i sat and waited for a table for 2 that the 4 tables at the front stayed empty my entire wait and then after i was seated. also the table out front i was waiting for my table at became my table. so there was no need to have me wait, let alone turn away so many people because they didn't not want to seat people( in my opinion). myself with other had questions and conversations with each other as to why so many tables were empty inside yet they were telling everyone they were booked. Service was beyond horrible meaning the wait for a simple beer was at least 10 min. the house margarita was pre-made and not good at all and those drinks took just as long. my server was great and couldn't be blamed for what seemed to be a management issue as far as how this place was run. this was my second time here and it was disappointing the food was good, just wasn't ready for the holiday or was really flustered. read more

This place is cute but I won't be returning. My partner and I came on an early Friday evening and because of his cute it looked outside, I requested a table outside. It was just two of us so we were placed at a table next to the door to the restaurant. Okay not a problem with the exception of the table being uneven and wobbly so he took some tissue to try and combat the issue but it didn't work. We asked for 2 glasses of water as it was pretty warm on July 14th and received 2 glasses of warm water. My glass had something on it, so we asked for 2 new glasses of water with ice and initially received two glasses of ice with the same glasses of water. So we against again and received what we requested. I ordered shrimp tacos but didn't realized they would be served cold so I wasn't too happy with that. The flavor/toppings were good but the tacos were cold. He ordered the chicken tacos with no dressing so his tacos were dry. The margaritas we ordered were okay but nothing to return for. I live in the neighborhood and wanted to check them out; I did and don't need to again. read more

I gave 3 stars because the servers are always wonderful. I've been going to El Poquito for over 3 months, even had my daughter' s birthday brunch there. Love it. However on Sunday (5/17) there was no air conditioning. OK, went back today thinking it would be fixed. It's been in the mid 90's for 3 days. But no air conditioning. And no air circulating. I sat outside in the shade and had a Margarita as I was waiting for a bus. Could not believe the restaurant was still open. Absolutely cruel to employees and I will not go back until it is fixed. BTW there were no other customers. read more

Superb. Whereas most Mexican themed places go for spice and salty food. Here you really got the flavor of what you were eating. It's 33 degrees and we ate outside in their heated tents. My wife actually had to remove her jacket because it got so warm. Don't be afraid to make reservations for outside. Watch out the tacos are packed. A normal person only needs 2-3. I got 4 Mahi Mahi because tacos normally are t super filling. Especially when it comes to fish. Each taco though had a fat ass piece of fish on it. You'll see in the photos. I don't like taking good photos but I had to. I didn't think you would believe me. I got the fish grilled and it was perfection. My wife tried it and she was very pleased. She isn't really a fishy person. She got the pork tacos. Those were also packed to the hills with meat. She said she should've only gotten 2. I got the virgin margarita with coarse salt on the rim. I don't like a lot of mock tails but this was delicious. We got a jumbo crab dip for our starter. That was delicious. Again the food was not super salty and you could really taste it. We topped it all off with churros which came with a cinnamon ice cream. These were also huge. So we left with a $100 bill completely stuffed. That's a good time to me. I would've loved more of that fish. I don't know if I can go there again and not get that. read more

My friend just moved to town and wanted to try this spot while I visited her. Great covered patio and outdoor space! We were seated outside in the covered patio and ordered drinks and queso right away. My friend got the spicy margarita and it lived up to its name. I ordered the Nicolo and it was good too. Queso was okay, but the chips were nice and salty! I don't know if it's because we ordered queso pretty quickly, but they didn't offer any chips and salsa to us, so that was a bit of a let down. Good gluten free options with corn tortillas and bowl for their tacos. I got the mahi mahi bowl and it was very yummy! My friend got the brussel sprouts bowl and also liked it. read more

The food can be hit or miss as I have visited here on many occasions. I've received really good tacos, wings, salad salad, etc. Other times, I've received not so good food. My most recent visit was good. I tried the cheesesteak empanadas which were two empanadas cut in half with three onion rings on top. It was very tasty. The ambiance is great and there are indoor and outdoor seating options. The service is typically really good. read more

Definitely overpriced gentrified Mexican food, you're better off at an authentic mom and pop spot. You're for sure paying for the ambiance which was surfer themed which I didn't really understand, service was fine food didn't take too long to come out and the server was nice. The chicken nachos and brussel sprout tacos were good. I came with 7 other people and they all had similar thoughts, the food lacked spices/flavor/quantity. Not exactly worth paying the hefty price tag for. Only rating it a 4/5 because I liked my tacos. read more

Good, but unnecessarily overpriced food- especially for the location. Excellent attentive service with indoor, and an abundance of outdoor seating, with colorful ambiance, including cooked hanging lights. Gluten free tortillas available to accommodate those with food allergies. Tasty fresh cocktails and margaritas. Tables need to be cleaned much better. When butcher block tables are sticky throughout, it's indicative of not properly cleaning and sanitizing. read more

Came here for lunch in Chestnut Hill on Father's Day. We didn't have a reservation and were told the outside patio was full, but had no problem getting a seat inside in a huge booth. The inside was very spacious with a lot of wood used in their design concept. The large bar in the centered added a nice focal point and additional seating for singles or couples. We all decided to get a drink. I got a Margarita Gose by a local brewer, while the others got Sangria, margarita, and old fashioned cocktails. All were enjoyed. You don't get free chips and salsa here, so we ordered some Queso Dip (chipotle queso topped with pico de gallo and served with chips). Immediately upon sitting the appetizer on our table I noticed the glaring unequal distribution of Queso to chips. The bowl of Queso, while tasty, was quite small. It was very quickly consumed by a table of four, with us scrapping the sides of the bowl trying to get a little more on the many remaining chips. The Queso size needs to be reevaluated for its cost. For entrees, we ordered a set of 3 tacos as did our friends. They almost always get the Nashville hot chicken tacos (Valentina honey hot sauce, ranch, pickles, flour tortilla) and did again today. I tried a bite and they were good. Not too hot, but enough kick. We ordered the Korean Steak tacos (flank steak, bulgogi marinade, avocado, red chili sesame, corn tortilla) as they sounded so good on paper, but did not deliver in actuality. All you tasted was hot from the red chili sesame. All of the other flavor profiles were just lost. I don't know if the bulgogi marinade was forgotten or what on the steak or the chili was just that heavy handed, but you could not taste it. The tacos were one note and quite disappointing. My husband took a couple bites and just couldn't deal with the heat, so he discarded his dish and ate my enchiladas instead. Speaking of the Enchiladas (3 chicken tinga enchiladas, choice of sauce (verde or roja), poblano rajas, onion, queso mixto, crema, pico de gallo, and black beans and rice). I selected the verde and was happy with the look of my plate when presented. It was a nice sized portion as far as the enchiladas and sides. The enchiladas themselves were good, nothing out of this world, but tasty. Really liked the crema and other toppings, chicken tinga was solid. The one downside to this dish was the rice was very dried out, but the beans were creamy and well seasoned. Thank God for the Churros (fried dough, cinnamon, and chocolate sauce) as they were absolutely the meal highlight. Perfectly fried and I liked both of the dipping sauces very much. They are made fresh so have to order them earlier in the meal, but worth the wait. Make sure you leave room to order these! Delicious. In general I thinking they were having a bad day, it may have been due to the Father's Day rush or just still trying getting their groove back from opening post COVID, but whatever the reason their food suffered. read more

Such a cute place - had an interior and outdoor areas. My friends and I sat outside and we ordered guac, tacos, and drinks. The guac was average, nothing spectacular. The chicken tinga and shrimp tacos were good but nothing special. The carne asada and carnitas tacos were so so good! They had so much flavor and sauce. I ordered a passion fruit margarita and it was great. FYI - you order & pay online via QR code read more

Had a great time sitting outside of El Poquito for happy hour. Was randomly walking on Germantown Ave and decided to pop in to see what it was all about. Pretty hard to find Tex-Mex on this side of town. The nachos were ok, but that main event was the margaritas. We got a pitcher for the table and it was delicious. Supplemented the margs with some tequila from the pretty robust selection. I'll said it was a struggle to walk home, but was super satisfied with the experience. Also the wait staff was great. read more

While there were more pros than cons about El Poquito, I have to admit this wasn't my favorite Mexican restaurant. Starting with the positives: Booking a reservation on the website was super easy, metered parking was available right out front, employees were friendly and the inside of the restaurant was absolutely stunning. Staff wore masks/face shields and social distancing appeared to be enforced. Stopped in on their Margarita Monday - pitchers of any margarita are $15 off all day long. I ordered a glass of sangria. There was a decent amount of fruit mixed in and I savored the spices with each sip. Food was just okay. It came out fast, but the temperature of the food wasn't right. It must've been sitting out for some time and got cold. We started off with chips and guac. Nothing special about the guac, although you can add cojita cheese, pineapple or lump crab for an additional charge. I was looking forward to trying the Impossible Chorizo tacos, but was abruptly told by the waiter that they were out of them. I settled for the curry cauliflower tacos. The cauliflower was crunchy, but lukewarm. I will say they did not skimp out on filling up the tacos with the cauliflower. The curry aioli inside the taco shell was very good and actually gave the taco the majority of its flavor. My favorite menu item by far was the esquites (corn off the cob). It was flavorful, creamy and complimented my tacos amazingly. It looks small in size, but I was able to share it with my boyfriend. Highly recommend! I would like to give El Poquito another chance. The food didn't leave a lasting impression on me, but I enjoyed my experience here. The environment was comfortable. Maybe next time I can sit outside on the heated patio or inside the heated igloos. read more

At dinner here, the atmosphere was really nice. We are in the igloo bubbles. It was warm with the heaters and made it perfect. Service wise: a little slow, didn't check up a lot; had to ask twice for silverware, and refills. Just seemed to been forgot about. Food: was fine, fajitas didn't have a lot to them meat wise and peppers. Honestly wouldn't get it again. Gauc didn't taste as fresh read more

More authentic than other places, lot of rice and beans with the entree servings. They don't overdo on the portions, but plate is full. We sat indoors but has outdoor seating, heaters, and bubbles. All staff wearing masks properly and dividers between tables/at the bar. Good service, chill. Parking available behind Market at the Fareway, which is only like a block away so definitely worth it. Nachos: 3/5 not a lot of chips but decent amount of cheese, chicken, sour cream, exc. Salsa Roja: very odd. Not spicy at all but reminded us of mushrooms. Not sure I would get again Tres Leches Cake: 4.5/5 Very interesting to have coconut & pumpkin seeds on top. If you want an interesting take on this treat, would recommend. Moist. Not too sweet, but also not for everyone (acquired taste) Korean Steak Tacos: 4/5: could have used a bit more flavor, the lime I had on the side was the end of the lime so there wasn't much to add but with a better lime I think it would have helped. Avocado was perfectly ripe and went well with the radish. Carnitas Tacos: 3/5 not super flavorful, meat kind of dry Quesadilla: 4/5 pretty good, chicken was a little dry. Good amount of cheese and good portion. Maji Enchiladas: 4/5 came with rice and beans, rice was fantastic; very flavorful and delicious. Could have used more flavor, were not very large Steak Fajita: 4/5 lots of peppers and onions. Very filling, don't be fooled by the appearance. Margarita: great, not too sweet. Have heard good things about the drinks here. read more

It was super busy so there was a wait, a good option with this restaurant is that you can order everything online.

I checked out sone of the reviews and I figured I'd give El Poquito a chance. Big mistake. Let's start with the first issue, zero parking! Obviously that's not the establishments fault so that didn't impact their rating but just wanted to mention that in my review. We ended parking across street at the grocery store and took a chance at getting our vehicle towed. I do not advise that move but hey, "no risk it, no biscuit". Now onto the actual review of the food. Upon walking inside, we were greeted and seated relatively quickly. Breezed over the menu and knew exactly what I wanted to order. Strawberry margarita Nachos Shrimp tacos Pretty simple, pretty hard to mess up. The margaritas was solid, not strong but decent. (6.5/10). The nachos were decent, not much flavor but hey, serviceable (6.5/10). The shrimp tacos were some of worst tacos I've had, which was surprising because I read over so many quality reviews. The tortilla seemed to be stale and lacking any texture or substance, the shrimp was bland and just blah. There was no sauce, or anything to tie the ingredients together. (2/10). Talk about a let down. Maybe it was an off night but I will not make it a priority to spend my evenings at El Poquito anytime soon. read more

This place has ALMOST become a local favorite of mine. The food, ambiance, service and drinks are good. Drink Tip: The house margarita and top shelf margarita are pre-made and tbh they both gave me a pain throbbing headache (on two different instances). HOWEVER the other cocktails are tasty and did not give me a headache, I enjoy the cocktails most with mezcal as the smoky tequila gives certain drinks a nice kick with a smoky undertone. Food Favorites: Guacamole, Steak & Shrimp Fajitas Service: The service here is chill, they'll always ask if you have a reservation, you don't need one BUT if it's after 5 you'll be better off with a reservation. Parking: There is on street parking but if it's in the evening hope for the best. read more

Came for brunch and am now really confused by these positive reviews. My guess is reviewers have never had delicious Mexican food before. BUT maybe I should have ordered something different because what I got actually made me angry. Came for the first time with my dear friend from out of town. I feel sad now that I chose someplace where the food was not delicious. My mimosa tasted weird as if the champagne or prosecco was a bad match for the orange juice. The good thing is they give you plenty to drink. I ordered huevos rancheros and I've never been more disappointed in a meal. I almost sent it back but didn't want to be rude in front of my friend. The atmosphere was nice. I remember when that restaurant used to be different. I can't even say it will be worth it for me to try something else the next time I visit. It was that bad. The service was friendly and accommodating though. read more

We came here for lunch on a Sunday and the place was fairly crowded. We had a reservation for the patio, which is covered and was a great place to eat. Everything was done through the Toast app, from ordering to paying. You could see everyone's orders and when it came time to pay, pay for your items only. This is great for groups. The menu had so many good options. I decided to go with a bowl and had a hard time deciding between the grilled mahi bowl or the plantain tempura mahi bowl. I ended up going with the tempura and have no regrets! It was a unique taste and so good. It was a light, but filling meal. The kids menu was great as well and our server kept our waters full. That was the only interaction we had with her. read more

I want to start by saying I reviewed up el Poquito is a solid 3.5 (if that was a thing) I reviewed up bc the service was great, the ambiance is chill, love the lights around as well as the fixtures. The food was ok, pretty standard nothing special. The guac appetizer could have been larger it was pretty small. We also ordered shrimp ceviche appetizer, it was good but could have had more shrimp. I had the mahi tacos which were really good imo I regret not ordering something son the side. I also had a margarita, it was delish, really well made! Overall I'd go back I really liked the atmosphere, parking on the other hand would steer me away but that's most of Philadelphia. read more

This is a cute Mexican food place right in the heart of Chestnut Hill. They have indoor and outdoor seating, and in the winter (this year atleast) they have a cute heated igloo village. The igloos really do stay pretty warm and comfortable. Make a reservation though because they're a hot commodity! Their menu is pretty big and they have a variety of options for vegetarians too. They also have happy hour deals. The food is pretty good and priced about average. I have been there a few times, and usually service is good. The last time I went, the service was very slow and they forgot to put in some of my order but I believe they had new hires working so that's likely why. It won't keep me from returning. read more

I've been going to El Po since they opened. Off and on. They've had many different managers and staff. The margaritas are generally good. The food has been great at times and not others. Lately it's good. The happy hour menu has gone up considerably in price. One thing, if you're going to bartend, be a bartender. It's a huge turn off when the bartender acts like they're doing you a favor by waiting on you. And I'm talking about only 4 other people at the bar. The bartender laid down the menu in front of me and left. I mean left the actual bar. Came back in a while. This kind of service turns me off. The appetizer was decent. The drink was good. But, service please. read more

I understand why they average 3 stars, but I think they are a little better than 3. Some people might not appreciate the authenticity. The space is cozy and the staff is great. The drink program is a plus. They have a tequila "mule" that is a clever twist. The best thing we had were actually the fried jalapeño. And the tres leche and churros were great for dessert. The entrees were all fine. Most in our group did tacos and my wife did a platter and they were all good, but honestly the portions were a little small. Usually Mexican places are generous with the portions and the plates were a little boring. The simplicity of a fried mahi taco is nice but pickled onion on top isn't quite enough. Something on the side or something to complete the plate would have been appreciated. Overall really good flavors and I'll return happily, but a little more creativity on the plating and composition would put this place over the top! read more

I recently moved to the Philadelphia area. My lady friend came down for the weekend to hangout and explore. She had a stressful week with exams and was really craving some Mexican food. We called a few places but they were unfortunately booked up and then we stumbled upon El Poquito. El Poquito did not disappoint. The first thing you notice in the restaurant is the ambience - amazing lighting, wall and table decor, and the overall atmosphere. We elected to sit inside but there is outside dining as well. Rest assured, the staff and everyone were on the ball with covid protocols. As for the food and drinks. We started off with some water and then decided for a pitcher of margs to destress from the week. Wow, they packed one helluva punch. If you want a strong margarita, this has your name on it. For food we had queso and chips for an app and chicken quesadillas and a chicken bowl for our meal. All 3 were excellent. My friend loved the pepper in the quesadilla. It was a great place to share in some great food, unwind with some margs, and really enjoy each other's company with a lot of laughs and smiles. My gratitude to the El Poquito staff. read more

What a great restaurant for Mexican food. I came here in the winter and only got to eat inside but I'm excited to come back and get to try their outs seating area. It looks gorgeous. We all ordered different margaritas and and shared them, so I got to try a couple of the flavors they're offering. All of them were delicious, not sweet and syrupy, and definitely not watered down. We all also ordered a portion of the guacamole to share. Not the best guacamole I've had in Philly but still really fresh and good. I definitely liked it more than the salsa. I ordered the chicken tacos (you get three tacos with your order). Personally I thought there was too much of a cilantro tase, but if you love that, then these will be great for you. Service was great, staff was friendly and the food came out quickly. read more
