Jose's Tacos  

Category: Mexican
Neighborhoods: Spring Garden, Callowhill

4.0 star rating
7/8/2011
From the outside, Jose's looks like a sketchy restaurant and even inside the "restaurant" is nothing great... but, the food is cheap and delicious!

They only have 3 tables and Jose's is more of a delivery place. But for the price and amount of food, you can't really beat it.

From my experience, the food is better when you dine in as opposed to ordering it. But either way, it's good.

3.5 stars

The food is really good here and I like the whole Korean BBQ experience, but it's overpriced for the amount of food.

The service was good, but the restaurant is a little noisy.

Unfortunately, there are very limited food options by Temple Med School and Temple University Hospital.

When you can't wait to get something delivered, City View is a good place to go. They have a lot of food options and the food is really affordable.

Nan Zhou Hand Drawn Noodle House  

Category: Chinese
Neighborhood: Chinatown

AMAZING!! Best place in Chinatown. I kinda do have to pour a lot of Sriracha into my soup, but that might be because I'm obsessed with spicy food. The soups are filling for me, but my boyfriend is a tall, big guy and is never full.

The noodles are amazing... I usually opt for the vegetarian soup because I'm not comfortable eating pig ears, etc.

The best part about this place is that it is CHEAP!!

Cash only though!

I do not understand what the hype is all about. This place is very overrated and not worth standing in line for...

My reaction and the reaction of all of my friends was "we can get a better burger at In N Out"

5 stars for the bazooka limon guacamole!!

The atmosphere is great and really fun. The decor is very trendy and hip. I love the overall feel. The food and drinks are great.

It is a little overpriced, but that's my only complaint.

El Rey  

Categories: Mexican, Tex-Mex
Neighborhoods: Rittenhouse Square, Penn Center

3.0 star rating
7/8/2011
Being a Californian, I do have really high standards for Mexican food. El Rey is a fun place to go to for a few drinks and some food, but the food isn't amazing. The service is really good and I loved the theme of the restaurant. There aren't many options for nice Mexican food in Philly, so given that - El Rey is a good place to go for dinner.

Tip: Come here for happy hour - $1 tacos!

I am from California, so no Mexican restaurant will live up to my high standards BUT... El Jarocho is pretty good. I love the large portions and fast service.
