I called back and they promised to make it fresh next time. The next day, I ordered the same thing, but purchased three tacos. The tacos were not hot, but they were flavorful. They heated them up in the microwave for me. The shrimp tacos were delicious, and the tamale was also good today. We ordered a side of beans and rice, which was mediocre. Overall, I would give El Chester Hill a four out of five. The staff was not attentive, and we had to ask for hot sauce and napkins a few times. The experience was okay, but it was not exceptional. The ambiance was on brand.

They were on the high side of BYOBs before and their food prices went up. Together with the cost of the previously free Margaritas, they more than doubled. Service was still good, though not as personal. Food was also good, but less regional and more generic than before. Ambience was the same. We're not going back, sadly.

This place is such a missed opportunity. Señor Salsa was packed and vibrant on a Saturday night…read more The service was fast and professional. It had all the makings of a great Tex Mex meal. And then came the food... We started with "nachos with everything." This was an extremely large plate of incredibly soggy nacho soup. Personally, I prefer melted cheese to queso sauce on my nachos, but I've had good nachos with queso. These nachos were swimming in a thin queso. It did not help that the chicken was also very, very wet. For the entree I ordered chiles rellenos. I was anticipating a nice cheese pull. Instead, when I cut into it it bled out the same darn thin queso. It was gross. I'd take Trader Joe's frozen version of this dish any day of the week. This was bad. Finally, I ordered a Long Island ice tea that was very very very strong but also very very very bad. Whether that's a pro or a con depends on your style.

The bartender overcharged for a margarita and refused to correct it. I ordered a Golden Margarita…read moreand subbed 1800 tequila (mid tier). The Golden Margarita costs $14.95. The bartender charged me $18.00 then charged me another $12.00 for the 1800 tequila. So I was charged $30 for a standard margarita. Bartender refused to correct it and said it's not his problem that he doesn't get the money. He said I could speak to the manager if I want then told me he wasn't there when I said I want to speak with him. Will never return to Senior Salsa purely on principle. This is bad business. Make sure you check your receipts because they overcharge and hope you won't notice.

Sopapillas-- I don't find them often and I've had several different recipes along the way. These are crunchy lil chippies that are so irresistible. You may be taken aback that it's like $9 for these little cruncy cinnamon sugar chippies--- but try them! I don't even need the dip. They were fast and accurate with their prep time and food stayed hot, not soggy all the way back home. Definitely a spot I'd go again and again.

Food trucks and the rules governing them occupy a much different space here in the Philadelphia…read morearea than on the West Coast. Here, the regulations make the enterprising that much more difficult. Food trucks are their own unique restaurant category, balancing quality, creativity and value, with speed, accessibility and of course, parking. Traditional restaurants are taking a beating during a time where indoor dining is not a draw, decor means nothing and the pomp surrounding food personalities in Philly and beyond hold no weight in a scene that suffers more and more each day. If the demise of the restaurant scene in 2020 is like a full-length novel, then this review of this taco food truck is more of a wonderful novella to be watched each afternoon like a story one lives to immerse themselves in -- concentrated and poignant, full of the flavors of what one would expect from authenticity. Sitting adjacent to an Auto Zone parking lot in what may be considered not the fanciest of areas, exists what may be one of the best taco trucks in Philly. The most successful operations boil a specific type of cuisine down to a handful of signature, crowd-pleasing dishes. The taco, burrito and torta. That's what they offer. Fresh, hot, authentic fast, friendly, clean. Bright house made sauces, soft, fresh tortilla. Clean flavors, simplicity in its execution replicated repeatedly. That is the magic and this is what they do. Support small, support micro, support local, and oh yeah, put that salsa roja on errythang!!!

Food: pretty good. Atmosphere: fabulous. Service? Ah, well…read more.. 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.

We went to El Poquito yesterday for Cinco de Mayo. Parking is metered on the street, but I…read moredefinitely 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.
