    Carne asada
    Jenny R.

    We were at a local camp. We were looking for some Latin food. This was the closest place to us. The food was very good. Very flavorful. The server was very kind and told us about where we were and the history of the restaurant. The place wasn't packed but they did have a lot of take out orders. They had Latin music playing and it was a great way to enjoy a meal.

    11/25/22 Cubana Torta- my sons entree

    11/25/22 My son lives near this new location. I've been to El Volcan on Ridge Pike. Abraham was our server and he's very pleasant- in fact- I remember him from last visit at their other location. For me to remember him is saying something- he's got a great attitude and makes you feel like a guest in his home. We chose to eat in- there are around 8 tables or so to enjoy indoor dining. The outside doesn't do the inside justice! This location used to be "Freshies" and the name is still evident in the cement platform to the entrance. There is also a small parking lot at the rear. One way in and one way out so be aware not to miss the entrance. I ordered steak nachos for the table. My daughter had these before at the other location and raved about them. These were so savory and delicious and brimming with heaps of steak, tomato, crema, cheese, beans etc. oh and guacamole - can't forget that! For entree I enjoyed the steak burrito in a red sauce (very mild)- I liked the sauce but I would go with the delicious tomatillo sauce next time. Husband got Chorizo enchiladas which he thoroughly enjoyed. I have heard their Chile Relleno is legendary although I did not try it. Please support this growing business. I'm told the owner, Jose uses his mothers recipes. I love businesses like that especially. Keep up the 5 star cooking, 5 Star ingredients and I foresee more success in the future!

    Stopped in to try this new restaurant. It's a small restaurant that offers a small dine in area and takeout. The restaurant was clean and the owner was welcoming. It was my first visit so I tried a few options. I really enjoyed the chicken tinga nachos. The portion was large and very flavorful. I also really loved the tamarind fresca drink. I also tried the Al pastor tacos. A little spicer than I've tried other places but still good. The items that fell flat for me were the chicken quesadillas. They lacked any sort of flavor. I also wasn't a fan of the rice. Could be just me but it didn't taste like rice I've tried at other similar restaurants. Overall it was not a bad experience. I'd defiantly go back for the nachos and tamarind drink! If your in the area give it a try. I'd love to see what other Yelpers tried and loved so I can try something different on my next visit and update my review/rating.

I don't mean that in that loose, linguistic sense of like, "oh, that's the BEST" when you don't actually mean the true superlative. I mean that they had LITERALLY the best birria tacos I have ever gotten at any location. I've gotten them everywhere else in the area and nobody else does them quite right. Well, I'm pleased to say that the new location's birria tacos are identical. Absolutely superb. It's everything I missed from the old Frida's. Perfect, no notes. It's worth noting that the new spot is takeout only, as it is now nestled inside a gas station that's the living embodiment of a Twitter ad in 2024. There are glass cases of questionable, unregulated supplements, there are assorted CBD things, there are gambling machines, it's wild. You walk inside half expecting someone to pitch you on an MLM, a dubious self-help program, or a subscription to the Joe Rogan podcast. It's weird. But that's okay. You don't have to dine here. Just pick up your 10/10 birria tacos and enjoy them in the comfort of your own home. You'll be glad you did.

    Some of the best Mexican food I've had in a long time... and it's inside a gas station…read more @elgordobros I stopped by El Gordo Bros and was seriously impressed with everything I tried. Every dish tasted fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with quality ingredients. Service was fabulous! Started with their house-made guacamole & pico de gallo, which were both super fresh and the perfect way to kick things off. I also tried the elote, which was packed with flavor, and the fish taco, which was light, fresh, and absolutely delicious. The King Taco was another standout, and I really loved the queso birria taco; so rich, flavorful, and exactly what you want from a great birria taco. And you can't leave without trying their horchata, which was the perfect refreshing drink to go with all the food. I also had the opportunity to try their Baja fish taco which was another stand out for me! The fish was light, the Baja sauce was so flavorful and delish! What makes this spot even more unique is that their locations are actually inside QuickStop gas station market, which makes it such an unexpected gem. Their first location started near the King of Prussia area, and they now have a few locations in the area; including this one in Collegeville. Just goes to show that sometimes the best food can come from the most unexpected places. If you see El Gordo Bros while you're stopping at QuickStop... trust me, it's worth it.

Situated on a small main ave plot, with adequate parking and a stones throw away from the perkiomen trail, el Gordo bros provides the fuel you need for a quick pick me up, a burst of energy or a drunken stomach screaming for nutrition on a late night. And don't get me wrong, this is more than just your standard hangover preventing college fare; this is quality food at a price that even mass market fast food eateries (chipotle? Taco Bell? Heck even McDonald's) can't compete with. Made with love, curated to make your taste buds do the cha cha, el Gordo bros is on my save save save list!

How do you know? You're not quite sure... but there's just something about this charming single room establishment that rings a bell ... Just something. Perhaps it's the colorful ornamentations that catch your eye... Perhaps. But even more to the point is the setup of the room itself - the cozy arrangement of booths and tables - that feels so warm, comfortable, pristine... special. Seldom have I been so taken with a restaurant... and even before being seated. Pleasant, knowledgeable service is another plus. However, it is ultimately the outstanding quality and preparation of authentic Mexican cuisine that truly sets this establishment apart. The menu here is quite extensive - including desserts and kids' meals - with all the usual South of the Border suspects present and accounted for. Your gastronomic journey begins with Sides & Starters and then moves on through such familiar rubrics as Tacos... Salads... Burgers, Tortas, Flautas... Burritos & Quesadillas, and House Plates. Trust me, plenty of choices to keep you happy. However, you would do well be bear in mind that portion sizes here are more than generous, occasionally bordering on the humongous... like the chimichanga, for instance (pictured). Since at the outset you will probably be ingesting a significant amount of complimentary house-made chips & salsa, and also, perhaps, planning to finish up with dessert, discretion may, indeed, be the better part of valor. In other words, skip the starters, saving yourself a few bucks in the process, and head straight for the main course. Trust me on this... Unless you just happen to possess the appetite of a starving yak, you will, undoubtedly, still end up toting home a doggie bag. One additional thought... As I noted above, the quality of the cuisine here is consistently first-rate. But any restaurant, no matter how excellent in scope and highly regarded it may be, is still - in contrast to all its culinary pluses - somehow capable of concocting a dish that is destined to become its singular point of weakness, its "Achilles heel" so to speak. In the case of Los Osorio, this turned out to be one of their highly-touted "House Plates": Grilled Salmon. There was certainly nothing amiss with the accompaniments, as the rather dashing combo of pico de gallo and freshly cut mango added its own unique exotic flavor to the festivities. As did the filet's irresistible orange zest glaze. Unfortunately, the problem was the salmon filet itself. Pale of color and tasteless, it had fallen victim to finny fare's most nefarious saboteur... overcooking. And not just a touch overdone either. No, the dense dry flesh told the story, and it was not a pretty one. A steak knife would have come in handy. Achilles heel notwithstanding, however, Los Osorio still has a great deal to offer and is, in my opinion, definitely worthy of a visit. And should you decide to pay a call, my piece of advice is relatively simple... Stick with the more traditional Mexican fare - tacos, burritos, quesadillas, tamales, fajitas, enchiladas, etc. - and you certainly can't go wrong. But I would also suggest that you leave room for dessert. The sweet endings here are quite diverse and run the gamut from South of the Border favorites - Trés Leches, Churros filled with strawberry, apple, or caramel; Sopapillas served with vanilla ice cream powdered sugar, strawberries and side of caramel or chocolate sauce - to more traditional options such as Cheesecake and Triple Chocolate Cake. My own personal recommendations represent a bit of both worlds... If you enjoy ice cream in all its various forms and permutations, for example, then I would go straight for the luscious Fried Ice Cream (pictured on left). Garnished with chocolate & caramel sauces, whipped cream, and cherry crown, this eminently shareable dessert is guaranteed to satisfy those creamy cravings. On the other hand, if you're a tad more adventurous of palate, the Cheesecake Taco (pictured on right) also has a great deal to offer. Homemade lemon cheesecake is nestled inside a cinnamon & sugar dusted flour tortilla, dotted with strawberries, blueberries, chocolate chips, sprinkled with powdered sugar, and drizzled with chocolate sauce. The result is simply not to be missed. If you enjoy authentic Mexican cuisine, as I mentioned above, Los Osorio is definitely worth a visit... Just don't forget to BYOB.
