Los Taquitos De Puebla

After an insane day at work filled with meetings and presentations, I was once again in the mood for take-out. And with that ... Mexican food came to mind. The GF and I have ordered from Los Taquitos de Puebla once before. I love a good taqueria and they did a fairly decent job of providing those tastes via delivery the last time around. Perhaps it was the delivery aspect that muted my enthusiasm (nothing beats a fresh taco from a taqueria stand or even a taco truck), but I was willing to give Los Taquitos de Puebla another chance to blow my mind. Gringa ($10) Layers of protein, vegetables, tortilla and cheese. Served with shepherd style beef and Chihuahua cheese. The last time around, I ordered the Alambre especiale which was a mountainous mound of pork, beef, cheese, mushrooms, and more. They provided flour tortillas on the side, allowing me to scoop just enough of what I wanted into each handheld bite. Perhaps it's because the gringa is technically not offered as an 'Alambre,' but this iteration came as more of a quesadilla. I ordered this as the GF wasn't a fan of the melange of various meats in the especiale. The gringa contained only al pastor (shpherd style) beef - you could clearly taste the sweetness in the accompanying pineapple, which is typical of most al pastor tacos. The chihuaha cheese blended nicely with the rest of the dish. However, I was disappointed that this was a quesadilla and not more of the 'Alambre' I had previously (my own fault of course). Regardless, the 'layers of protein' described were not seen here. Tacos de Pollo ($10) 3 chicken tacos per order, fresh off the grill. Served with sour cream, lettuce, and fresh cheese. These were ordered by the GF, and I somehow managed to snatch one of them away. It was fresh, delicious, and light compared to the gringa. Overall, my perception of Los Taquitos de Puebla has not changed much - at least on the delivery end. Perhaps you simply need to have these tacos right off the grill to

Absolutely horrible food. I would have sent it back had I not been in a rush.

Amazing quality tacos! Really authentic and flavorful. The delivery guy was super nice and it was pretty quick. Definitely one of the best in Philly.

this place is pretty darn good. salsas are delicious. prices are fair. had one of the alambres and it was quite a bit of food at a decent price. it's certainly not gourmet but they hold their own with the other taquerias in the neighborhood.
