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.

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!

This has become my favorite local Mexican spot now that I've had their hand made sopes. And they have green apple Sidral soda. They're a bit further so I don't get here as often. It's tucked in the back of a Mexican grocery, which I love, but "done up" with sit down restaurant finishes. Their menu is not like the other local places. It's a bit larger and if you ask the right questions, almost any combination of ingredients are possible. Although I find that to be true at the other local places too. On the last couple of visits one with my wife, and one alone, our server Alondra was very engaging. I'm very inquisitive about Mexican food, and she was all too happy to share. And if she didn't know, she asked the cooks. We also talked about various Mexican dishes not on the menu and of course she gave us plenty of tips. The food is great here. None of the local places I've been in this area makes fresh sopes. Until I ate the Sopes Adobada here. Fresh sopes are always better! And ask for salsa roja. Spicy is good. I also took a dinner entree of Chuletas (pork chops) with rice and beans for later. A large platter with fried pork chops. I'm sure I will be back. Just wish they were closer to home.

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.

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.

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!!

What can be said about this place that is negative, aside from having to wait for perfect Mexican food coming from a tiny kitchen while you're starving? Guacamole is out of this world. The special burritos are unreal. The chicken enchiladas are out of this world. Everything I have ordered off this menu has blown me away. Fantastically authentic, and fantastically cheap. This will be the Mex destination for as long as I live in Telford.

I've known this place existed, but then was always so skeptical about going in. It's tiny-- is a grocery store? Restaurant? Are you sure? Ahh-- forget it-- let's just go someplace else. Today, after speaking with yet another friend that told me I just have to try it, we did! After her coaching of how it does feel a little weird walking through a grocery store to the back where the restaurant is, I finally said ok- we are going! Wow wow wow- delicious! We started out with chip and guacamole. A little on the pricier side of $9.50, but chips were delish. I'm a little used to a chunkier guacamole, but the flavor was on point. I got 3 chicken tacos and they were so good! My friends and kids got the burritos and they were humongous AND delish! Move over El Limon-- step aside El Cactus-- this place xiancantcal (ahh, forget it-- I cant spell it!!) is our new go to Mexican eatery!!
