We got the steak burrito and carne asada tacos, both were great! The burrito even comes with a little guac without having to ask for it extra. The service was great, it seems like most people call ahead and order for takeout but they do have seeting.

Best Latin food I’ve had since moving from Chicago! The Birrias tacos are mind blowingly delicious! The chilaquiles was phenomenal! You can taste that everything is made fresh, handmade, with love, and just sooo tasty!!! Also, the horchata is authentic and nice! Service was very friendly, a mom & pop shop & I felt like family eating here. Wait time is definitely worth it, 1 million percent what you want to eat after a flight!

Have been driving an hour from the suburbs monthly to eat here for almost 4 years. In my opinion, the best Mexican restaurant in Philadelphia run by a husband and wife that make you feel like you are eating in their home. Everything is made to order, including tortillas, guac, pico, and they have my all time favorite salsa verde in Mexico or the U.S. Everything is good but I recommend the pilbil, veg nachos, barbacoa, shrimp tacos and mushroom quesadillas.

So this place is run by a Husband and Wife and I'm quite sure everything is homemade. I got the Birria Tacos which are made with Homemade Corn Tortillas and they were the best I've ever had! The consome was ridiculously flavorful! I also got some Tres Leches which was different than regular but very good. The service was quick, it was very quiet and relaxing, and the place was clean. I honestly didn't mind paying their prices. I highly recommend!

The food was great, the portions will fell you in 2min, the dessert amazing. Everything was fresh. The ships and guacamole very fresh. The people are humble and very welcoming. El Molino definitely a place to eat here. P.s: the few bad reviews from certain people are people who don’t understand anything about food.
