Chicken dish
Fawn M.

We came here for lunch, an unplanned stop during our drive home from church. The prices are very reasonable and good portions. The restaurant is in the back of the Mexican store, it is a good size restaurant..guessing can fit 30-40 people in there. We ordered the chicken dish, shrimp dish and sweet plantains... The sweet plantains was yummy and other dishes were good as well.

Decent and hidden Mexican spot in Souderton. Recently moved to area and was in the mood for tacos. Through the storefront window, all you see is a Mexican grocer. You have to walk straight to the back to get to restaurant. The hubs had 3 pollo tacos. I had 1 pollo, 1 chorizo and 1 al pastor. I liked the pollo y chorizo. I've tasted better al pastor tacos elsewhere. I was also in the mood for platanos fritos. These came out nice and hot served with beans and crema. The salsa was fresh and slightly spicy, a good combo for me.

Rotten black spotted avocados in the  Tacos Gobernador

I just ordered from here for the first time after reading all the good reviews. After picking up the food and getting really excited with the aroma in the car, I was so disappointed when I opened up my Tacos Gobernador (shrimp tacos). It's to come with avocados. You would think that they would offer nice looking avocados but they had black spots all over it!!! It looked diseased. Very disgusting! I called them and asked them why they have black spots all over it. I have never seen it served in a restaurant like this. He puts me on hold; gets back on and tells me it's stain from Pico de Gallo sauce! What a load of crap! I googled to see if it's ok to eat and it said not if they have black spots and streaks all over it. I threw it out. My daughter also had these rotten avocados in her chicken platter! This was a very disappointing dinner! I will never go back!

I like this tienda. I was confused how to say the name until I asked, now I have a better idea. The restaurant in the back has great food. I recommend the cuban torta. The shop in front has some fresh produce and ingredients for Central American cooking. I love their selection of dried chilies as well as heavy creams in the refrigerated section. There is also a small medicine wall with Advil other types of medicines for coughs and colds, although they did not have benedril when I stopped on for some, or any other antihistamine. I shop here often because it's down the street from me, in additional the people here are very friendly.

This is the entire seating area for eating. It's best as a take-out place, not restaurant style. Get it to go for the yummy food!!

Wonderful authentic Mexican food! A big thanks to Yelpers for helping me find this hidden gem as most of the "Mexican" places around Philly are not truly Mexican, but chains or Americanized "Mexican" food. First off, go here for the food! As others stated, it's in the back of a Mexican grocer with only a few tables and chairs next to the kitchen (picture included). It's more of a takeout place than a sit down and eat place, although you can certainly do so, but it's not a full-size restaurant. Second, the menu is huge with entree names in Spanish, so make sure to read the ingredients, which are in English, to ensure you get what you want. I wanted chicken fajitas, but had to order them individually versus other places where you order skillet fajitas and receive several tortillas on the side. Each fajita is $3.50. At first I was not thrilled about this idea as I like to put together my own fajitas, but they couldn't have been more perfect! I ordered three chicken fajitas and each one was prepared with layers of refried beans, made-to-order grilled chicken, lettuce, real Mexican cheese, avocados, sour cream, and tons of flavor...better than I could have prepared and quite large (photo included). They have a mixed fajita entree with chicken, shrimp, and beef that comes as one large order versus individually, but if you want all chicken (or all beef) like I did, you must order the individual ones. You will NOT be disappointed. I found it easier to order our to-go meal in person and wait 15-20 minutes for it versus over the phone as language barriers do exist. They make everything fresh as you order it, and it's worth the wait. I also ordered chips and a large guacamole to go, which was delicious. The guac was a bit spicy, but not too much and had no strong lime flavor, which means it was made fresh. Limey guac is never good unless you like the taste of it, but no thanks. :) Their prices are reasonable and even better than the non-authentic Mexican places around Philly, you can't beat it for the taste. I highly recommend if you are craving REAL Mexican food!!

This place feels like you've discovered a jackpot at the end of a rainbow. Love how it's hidden away. Food and service were both excellent.

Sorry-- started eating it was so good!!!

I knew that they had opened an Aldi in Souderton for a while now but I haven't had the chance to…read morestop in until today (they opened one a bit closer to my house in Hatfield). One of the best things I like about Aldi is their bakery which in my opinion is one of the best around. I stopped in today to pick up a few of my favorite items (donuts and muffins) and I was in and out fairly quickly. It is a great Aldi's location and I'll stop back in if I am in the Souderton area.

We visit this store regularly and I was quite disappointed with my last experience. The employees…read morewere not friendly, and I encountered an unsettling situation where an employee (Assistant manager Diana) yelled at me for simply looking at a package on a cart that was blocking the aisle. Because her cart was blocking the aisle, I was only checking the calorie information on the English muffins. I felt that the employee's response was uncalled for. Additionally, there is usually only one cashier working at a time, which can lead to long waits. we asked the cashier, Jayce, what her name was and he refused to tell us. He told us we could take our review /complaint and business and go shopping somewhere else because everyone loves her (the employee that yelled at me in the isle) . Then he walked away. he was incredibly rude and dismissive. While the store's prices are competitive, the consistently rude behavior of the staff significantly detracts from the overall shopping experience.
