Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

As a Huge mexican food fan I've been to a million places and I've had the best and the worst. I've even had Mexican on the streets of Tijuana. This place almost tries too hard to be authentic Mexican. The beef was chewy as hell. Overall not a good experience. Salsas were bland.

Having moved from Brooklyn, I was skeptical I could find Mexican as good in Philly as I had in Sunset Park. Que Chula Es Puebla is easily the best I've had in the city. As others said, yes, it's not the prettiest place (and looks a bit scary from the outside) but when you make al pastor tacos this tasty, you can serve it in a cardboard box and I'd go there. Aside from the great tacos--shredded chicken was also fantastic, though shrimp was a bit overcooked--the prices can't be beat: $6 for three, well-stuffed soft-shelled meat tacos. We brought our own alcohol, too, so we left satiated and happy--and just $8 poorer each!

It's slim pickins if you're looking to grab a burrito in Fishtown. Sure, you could go to Dos Segundos or El Camino Real in Northern Liberties - but what if you want something more authentic? Or better yet - what if you want delivery? Cheap, better than average, authentic Mexican food gets four stars from me. Tip: Dress warmly if you are dining in the restaurant this winter, I wish they would crank the heat a bit more.
(4)Paul G.
Favorite taco spot in Philadelphia. Authentic.
(5)John P.
I don't consider myself an expert with Mexican food but this place seems as good as they come. I ordered the Shrimp Burrito from there and thought everything was excellent. This is the most authentic Mexican food I've eaten in Philadelphia. The last time I had anything like this was in Southern Cali at a roadside taco stand.
(5)Kerry B.
Three point five stars is more like it! Ordered Que Chula today because I was jonesing for some Meh-hee-can. It did not disappoint...too much. Delivery was pretty fast, and free! Woohoo! I ordered the shredded beef chimichanga and beef chalupas. The chimichanga was pretty good...loooaded with cheese, which is kind of my dream. Both dishes came with a spicy salsa and guacamole. The guacamole wasn't anything special, but the salsa stuff was awesome. It has a very nice bite to it. The reason I'm giving three stars was because I really wasn't a fan of the chalupas. They had almost no flavor and it was just a very messy experience [I'm pretty bad at finger foods]. I would certainly order from here again, and also suggest it to my friends! Very modest pricing for the amount of food you get, and they take credit cards. Mexican food yummmm.
(3)D S.
I am a huge taco fan and these are the best. Fresh ingredients and they don't nickel and dime you. I almost always call in my order and pickup. Always ready in 10-15 minute. They deliver too but I don't live in the immediate area. Staff always friendly. Nice laid back atmosphere.

I noticed this place while riding my bike down Master Street one day during my lunch break. I recently moved from San Francisco and was looking for a decent no-nonsense taqueria where I could grab a quick burrito or some tacos. A couple of days later, I went here for lunch. I was hoping for an order-at-the-counter situation, but I was seated and given a menu. I was also given a little bowl of thick, crunchy chips with refried beans and fresh cheese sprinkled on top and two little cups of red and green salsa. Into it. I ordered a tostada with shredded beef. It took a little while, but it was excellent. I grabbed a menu on my way out. I've ordered delivery from this place half a dozen times since then. I think the delivery is faster than the table service. As far as the meats go, I've only tried the shredded beef, chicken, and carnitas. Stay away from the carnitas. Bad times. Everything else I've had has been solid. A brief note about the nachos. While delicious, they do come with some kind of cheese sauce instead of real cheese. Kind of par for the course in Philly, I guess. I only mention it because I wasn't expecting it, but hopped on board pretty quickly. The bottom line: cheap, they deliver, and it gets the job done without winning any culinary awards.
(4)Lauren J.
Make sure to order as soon as possible if you decide to get pick up or delivery because it takes a good 45- 90 minutes. I've ordered delivery twice and I live about 5 mins from the restaurant. It took over an hour both times for the food to come. But when it did come, it was amazing. Totally worth the wait. The Tacos Supreme with shredded beef is delicious, all the varieties of tacos are bomb, the shredded beef Tortas is amazing! I've also eaten in the restaurant and it's a very casual and relaxed atmosphere. Place is very clean and the service is prompt.
(4)Alexandra D.
SO good! I love Mexican food and this is, by far, the best I have had in the Philadelphia area. Not to mention the cost is low for the high quality. They do not deliver to my area but I have no problem driving to pick up food from there on any day.
(4)Leanne M.
YUM! I must say Mexican delivery is where it's at! I wish this place was open seven days a week because it seems like I am always craving it on Monday when they are closed.
(4)Sara H.
Friendly service. Awesomely amazing veggie burrito. No, seriously--it's the best ever. there's a reason i order the same thing every time i go...and it's because i don't think anything else on the menu could compare. i have been told on good authority that the meat-based burritos are super good-o, as well. love love love this place.
(5)Marilyn S.
The servers were so cute and attentive despite our obnoxiously large group that straggled in one by one over the course of an hour. The food is CHEESY. The guac is awesome, and I love the free fresh chips covered in beans and cheese.
(4)Caitlin V.
it's mexican food less than a five minute walk from my house. of COURSE i love it! while there's nothing particularly glowing about this place, the food is up to snuff. i've only ever gotten take out from here, but you can sit down and have a typical dine in experience (for being as good as it is, it's never busy which doesn't seem good for them, but good for your peace of mind). they also claim to have free delivery. i would take advantage of this but considering it's so close i'd feel wrong not getting that short little walk in. i've gotten their veggie burrito (with lots of delicious vegetables like zucchini in it!) and their tamales. they have a great chipotle sauce, too. i can actually finish a whole meal here feeling satisfied, not ready to lapse into a food coma. everything is delicious and fresh and they have it ready to go all wrapped up for you pretty quickly. never had a problem with this place, hope i never do!
(4)Tamiz M.
Not too bad, but certainly not the best. I do like it better than Riendo, which is closer to me but I go here if I want a torta or something. Pretty good overall for the fishtown area, some really great Hispanic places up north a bit that are really authentic.
(3)Caroline R.
Real authentic Mexican. I loved the salsa and tacos, great carnitas, and some interesting offerings, like pumpkin flower quesadillas. I also love that the owner's mom sends the mole direct from Puebla . I thought the interior was charming and the service very good. Can't wait to go back.
(4)Colleen F.
Being from Arizona I tend to be very judgmental of what people call mexican food. Let just say that Que Chula passes with flying colors! The flautas are heaven, the beans are perfection and the Spanish rice is mouth watering. I would also recommend the tostada's, the burritos, tacos and give the tomatillo hot sauce a shot. I have to admit the food is enough to keep me coming back but the service is also excellente. Super friendly and always around without hovering. I definitely recommend this place and think ill try to get there this weekend!
(5)Lauren M.
Que Chula Es Puebla is probably my favorite spot to get mexican and I live in the "italian" market area. It's so authentic and delicious. It's usually pretty empty every time I'm there and it surprises me. I've had the same server every time who is this adorable and sweet mexican woman. She always seems really happy that you're there. You're given complimentary tortilla chips when you dine in and their salsa verde is awesome. It's so limey! The first time I went I got the chimichanga. It's so good, but enormous. I went on Saturday with Weegie and got the Pastor tacos. So good. Personally I love anything involving pork and this is no exception. I can never finish all my food, but always overeat. It's just so good! Plus they have mexican coke in glass bottles and it's my guilty pleasure. (Aside from pork products, that is.) I highly recommend this place.
(4)Kate G.
aside from the hilarious name...the is a great mexican restaurant, especially for philadelphia, a city not especially known for good mexican food. it did give me massive intestinal problems within 30 minutes......awkward. but i think thats a sign it's authentic. oh also its BYO1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Â!!!!!!!!!!!!! and the PA Wine & Spirits shop is a mere few blocks south.
(4)Ish A.
Unfortunately while the food is okay and well-priced, they are TERRIBLE about communicating the actual time that food will be ready. We called on a Friday, gave our order, and were told 20 minutes. My husband showed up 20 minutes later, paid, then waited an additional half an hour for a burrito and bistek tacos. In addition, when he got home, he realized that they gave us SOMEONE ELSE's ORDER! Not worth the hassle.
(1)Jim R.
Ordered two nts in a row bc i liked it so much. Fresh, tasty n quick delivery
(4)Susan F.
I am so happy to have found this place! The delivery cuisine options in Fishtown are limited, and this place saves the day! Not only is their food great, but they are usually pretty fast.
(5)Thea M.
As an addendum to my other review, I tried the taco salad the other night, and it was outstanding! Really the best taco salad I've ever had! The tortilla bowl was really flaky, and the rice/bean/meat mix in the salad was flavored to perfection.
(5)Brynn D.
my coworkers and i order a lunch feast from this place at least once a week. it's always fantastic though the amount of onion used in the guacamole is not at all conducive to carrying on in a customer service-based job after our lunch break. the chile rellenos are fantastic. i'm docking one star for cheese whiz on the nachos, but everything else we've had is amazing. get extra green salsa :)
(4)Chelsea N.
Best flan I've ever had. Consistently great food. Go here.
(5)Sarah H.
I've been here numerous times, held birthday celebrations here and they never disappoint me! The prices are great compared to a lot more trendy places that are close by. (burritos start around 9$) The menu is pretty big, and everything is delicious. They deliver!! That is a big plus, and the food delivered it just as good as in house. (Their green sauce is amazing and I put it on everything) Try this place out, don't judge by the exterior!
(5)Keshav M.
After eating at Mole Poblano (which is an amazing authentic Mexican restaurant), I was somewhat hesitant about this place. However, after the complimentary chips and dip, I knew it was going to be good. Starting with the chips, they were amazing fresh crispy and smothered in bean sauce. The red and green salsas they were served with were spicy and fresh, and I couldn't get enough. We also ordered guac for the table which was some of the best I've had. Now for entree, I ordered the chicken enchiladas with mole sauce. It was AMAZING! I usually hate shredded chicken but they made the enchiladas extremely well. The mole sauce was super flavorful and the beans were a great consistency. This is a great hole in the wall restaurant that anyone interested in well priced (~$11/entree) authentic Mexican food should try!
(5)Allison B.
Omg. Omg, did we find it? A Mexican dive that's better-than-mediocre? I THINK WE DID. Here's why: 1. Green salsa is THICK, not watery. 2. Complimentary chips come with beans/cheese on them. 3. Shredded chicken tacos had excellent flavor. 4. Torta was ridic in size. 5. No one felt ill after. Definitely coming here again with a huge group and many beers.
(5)Julia C.
My friend has been to this authentic Mexican restaurant but they just did take out orders. I was visiting and we decided to eat in. They bring out chips with beans and queso which was delicious. My friend had a burrito and I had tacos. Tacos you can have traditional or Gringos. Since I love the queso cheese, I opted for Gringos. I had shredded chicken. It was flavorful and plentiful. My friend had shredded chicken burrito. For dessert, we had the homemade Flan. It was delicious and perfect with my cup of Mexican coffee. I will come back when I am visiting Northern Liberties. I love authentic Mexican cuisine. The staff was very nice and we had great service.
(5)Michael N.
This is somewhat of a hidden gem in the Fishtown / Kensington area. Really good authentic Mexican food. Great tacos and other traditional items. Bonus points for the BYOB option. The restaurant is located in somewhat of a no mans land and I would be careful walking around here at night. The only problem I ever had with this place is the delivery. One time it took over 2 hours to get my food as the driver screwed up several times. After that I generally opted to pick it up instead.
(3)Katrina C.
I rolled into this place for some Mexican when I was definitely tipsy from an afternoon at Morgan's Pier and some more beers at my roommate's art show. All I wanted was a big burrito. They brought out your typical chips and salsa, but the chips had some refried beans drizzled on them. Yum! Both the green and the red salsas were super delicious - maybe better than my faves down at Veracruzana. Then the carnitas burrito came out. So freakin' good. I am never up this way, but I'm really glad I was able to get here to try this place. Definitely will come back next time I'm in the area.
(4)Rafael D.
Great grilled steak tacos. The tortillas were hot and fresh, salsa verde was on point. Steak, onion and tons of cilantro and cactus..Just the way I like it! The quesadilla de carnitas was on point as well. Everything was authentic.
(4)Jenny T.
Que chula es Puebla indeed!!! Another favorite authentic mexican restaurant. Puebla has a few little things that set them apart from your normal tacqueria. First, once you arrive and take a seat you are greeted with chips and salsa but the chips have refried beans on top. It's heaven! Second, the green salsa is killer. It's think and packs the right amount of spiciness that is consistent! I put it on everything. Lastly, when you order tacos you have the option of traditional tacos that come with onions and cilantro or the gringo version that comes with lettuce, tomatoes and cheese. How awesome is that!? I have devoured everything I have ordered from their menu so far. Taco are delicious, the al pastor pack heat and the shredded chicken are super moist and tasty. I tried their tres leches cake and WOW, for a second I thought I was at Las Bumbaguilas on south street. I was blown alway and suprised on how delicious it was. One piece of the tres leches cake is $5.00 but it's totally worth it. A must try!! The staff are super nice and very attentive. They provide great service and prices are super cheap. Oh and it's BYOB!!! Stop by!!
(5)Zackary A.
This is from an experience at this restaurant a few months ago. One of the worst delivery experiences I have ever had. Ordered 3 burritos and guac for delivery at 8pm on a weekend night. We were told 40 minutes when we ordered. I called back at 1 hour and 2 hours and was told the order was on the way both times. I live in 10 blocks away. The last time I called I was told to be more patient because someone else had waited for three hours before me. I told them I didn't want the food anymore because I wanted to go to bed. I was also cursed at by the person from the restaurant on the phone. It's a shame because they have great Mexican food, but haven't quite figured out efficient delivery service yet. Also inexcusable imo to curse at a customer no matter what.
(1)Holly N.
I read all the delivery reviews and was so worried! I ordered delivery on a saturday afternoon around 2-4pm and it came within the hour. I live about a half mile away. I always get vegetarian burritos and the guacmole, which comes in this HUGE dish. don't get those two things together unless you're with another person or feeling like hurting your body--it's a lot of guac. when you eat in they give you mini nachos with refried beans and queso blanco and yummy salsas. overall: great.
(5)Tyler B.
Delicious vegetarian burrito with zucchini, mushrooms, and peppers. About 9 bucks for an extremely filling meal. Friendly staff offered free coffee while waiting for our takeout order. Will be back soon.
(4)Craig N.
It's OK. I mean, is there another delivery option to Fishtown that I don't know about? If so, please enlighten me. The tacos, burritos and quesadillas are average. The taco salad is good. They have a nice salsa Verde. Don't ever get any steak dishes, it's inedible meat. Why doesn't Taco Riendo deliver????
(3)Sea C.
Great spot, delicious homemade food. Best Mexican in the city so far. The jalapeño tamales are amazing
(4)Julio C.
Food is good but there are better places near the city for great Mexican cuisine they fall short on portions as opposed to pricing. The flavor is there but needs a little more punch if they want to run with the big boys of Puebla. Too much competition out there to be playing around, bring it go home is my motto second place isn't going to cut it in this city of foodies .
(3)James L.
I wandered in here based on a roommate's suggestion, and let's just say i'm not going to fight him to pay rent on time this month because he introduced me to the heaven that is Que Chula So Puebla. *just kidding Ryan. getting real tired of your shit. pay up* Everything here is great, but I tend to get the roasted pork Chimichanga more often than not because it's fun to say and nothing here is less than great. Close your eyes, hover your index finger over the menu, pick something at random and enjoy without regret. Make sure to get a mandarin jarrito while you're there as well.
(4)George A.
Actually me and my family have eaten here numerous times years ago, and it was good but I can't say the same of our last visit. I had the surf and turf and if I had 3 pieces of shrimp that was a lot. The steak was basically pieces of gristle, I believe there might have been a piece or two of chicken in there somewhere. Needless to say it was a bad experience all around, my wife and daughter didn't care for their choices either. I will not be coming back as I see the glory days for this place are long gone.
(1)Jazmin B.
My daughter attends dance class a block away so I decided to go in and grab something to eat while I wait. I am so glad I did. The food is so fresh and flavorful. I ordered carnitas taco which were "delicioso"!! The do give complimentary chips and salsa which was such as fresh as my meal. The server was friendly and attentive. I will definitely be back. Also it is a BYOB so even better!
(4)Mobola O.
Definitely authentic Mexican cuisine!! We ordered fish tacos and a beef chimichanga, and both were absolutely delicious and seasoned to perfection!!!! The chips and variety of dips provided when we sat down were also great!! Great food, music was a little too loud but other than that will definitely be back!! Looking forward to trying the guacamole next time!
(4)Jade G.
Chicken grilled burrito. Not good. Quite possibly the worst burrito I've ever had. It was only shredded chicken and rice with a ton of cheese. No beans or anything else. Chicken rice and cheese. That is not a burrito! And it was $10. Two stars for the horchata. It was yummy but $5 for a horchata is ridiculous. Never coming back here.
(2)Sudo N.
I've come here twice, kind of by accident, and been happy both times. The first time I got tacos al pastor and the second time I got the quesadilla on corn tortilla (gluten free). Both times the food was good and the prices were reasonable. I would return.
(3)Anastasia L.
Lol at the guy who said don't walk here at night.... Good Mexican food, very cheap, insane quantities, and Mexican reality tv on full blast. Not gourmet by any means, but that's not the point.
(4)Danny N.
Awesome! I thought I was in California until I looked outside and realized it was Philly. If you are looking for authentic. flavor-bursting Mexican food, then this is the place. Right in Fishtown, and moments from Northern Liberties this place "Que Chula Es Puebla" delivers. I ordered the Chicken Enchilada Platter but asked if they could put Mole` sauce instead of the usual Verde and it was not a problem. It comes with a small salad, refried beans, and rice. I also asked if they had Horchata and to my surprise they do...so of course I asked for a LARGE...which was on point! In fact all of it was wonderful. My wife ordered the Grilled Veggie Burrito and loved it...she actually passed out in the on the way home and then knocked out again once there for 3 more hours. We left fat and happy! Why the hell did we wait so long to try this fantastic spot in the neighborhood??? Not sure but I do know it won't be long before we go back.
(5)Roxanne J.
I've been here dozens of times and it's some of the best, authentic, affordable Mexican I've had on the East Coast. As a vegetarian, I can vouch for the yummy taco salad, the terrific bean burrito, the delicious flautas and the great guac. Anything that includes roasted veggies (quesadilla, torta) is VERY vegetable-y with huge, thick pieces of eggplant, mushroom, and peppers that sometimes overwhelm the dish. Some dishes are also realllly cheesy. We are talking heart attack cheese levels. My husband, who is basically made of cheese, even gets whipped by these cheese monsters and will leave a pile on the plate at times. But you should eat here for no other reason than the holy mother if salsas, their green salsa. I want to roll around in a vat of it, basically.
(4)Robert P.
$18 for a burrito and quac+chips. Burrito and salsa were super bland and had BARELY any steak and guac was average. Meh
(2)Christopher P.
I was staying near here and decided to order in. I was on hold for a while but the staff was friendly. Delivery was fast. Unfortunately, the food was terrible. Nachos were made with a fake cheese sauce. (Although the chips were good and homemade.) Everything was absolutely flavorless. Chicken tasted like it had been boiled with no veggies. All of the wonderful spices of Mexico were undetectable. The traditional tacos were by far the best thing we got, but even they were incredibly bland.
(1)Krissi S.
I LOVE this place. the food is a bit on the pricey side compared to the "neighborhood" Mexican food I usually get and most of it tastes the same but some things are definitely superior to my hood staples. Their grilled burritos are to die for... As is the nacho supreme! just about all of their listed menu prices everywhere I've seen them are wrong so your order will be more than you expect.... So be prepared for that if the order taker doesn't give you your price on the phone ;)
(4)Jane W.
We were headed to the Philadelphia Photo Arts Center to see an exhibit, and found this restaurant on Yelp because it was nearby and had very good reviews. We had trouble finding it at first, and a staffer stayed on the phone with me as we navigated our way there to the corner of North 2nd and Master. It has a local neighborhood feel, with one long room filled with tables and a TV blasting soccer highlights in Spanish. Not a place for a romantic meal, but definitely fun and very clean. The waiter brought some delicious home-made tortilla chips drizzled with refried beans and two sauces on the side to start. The menu is huge. I ordered a platter of chicken enchiladas in a mole sauce that came with spanish rice (nice and moist), salad of lettuce and tomato, and refried beans (not a thick mixture, much thinner, almost like a sauce, but very tasty). The highlight for me was the Mexican coffee, which was fragrant and lightly sweet. Heavenly! I'd go back in a flash (if I didn't live so far away). FYI the waiter came running after us half a block because my husband left his change purse on the table. Great and friendly service. There were only a few tables full the day after Christmas, so I can't speak for the service or noise level with a full house.
(5)Chauncee T.
Really, really delicious food!! Fresh ingredients, friendly staff & very clean. I've spent a lot of time & even lived South of the Border, don't really get much more authentic than this place...a neighborhood gem.
(5)Miguel V.
Awesome Mexican foo burritos are delicious !!! Really nice place to bring your friends and family!!!
(5)Gigi G.
First time there. Had the chimichanga and fish tacos... Both were really good. I would've liked more sauce on top of my chimichanga but if you like it dry you will love this entree. Got the shredded steak chimichanga... The steak was absolutely amazing! Fish tacos were light and delish..
(4)Danny B.
Continuing on my Mexican food pilgrimage, I came to Que Chula Es Puebla in search for something different. Don't get me wrong, I am a fan of the taco, the burrito, and whatever the usual is for the typical American palate. But on this day, there was no time for the "usual". It pains me to see others stick with their chicken tacos and claim their love for Mexican food. No bueno, stop that nonsense. STOP IT RIGHT NOW. Anyways, after I decided to do some exploring, I ordered their Que Chula Es Puebla especial platter. Let me explain what we're working with here. You get shrimp, rice, beans, avocado, and a small enchilada. Seems kind of normal, right? BUT WAIT, what? What is this? In addition to the mentioned items, you also get cecina, which is air-dried beef. You also have grilled cebollitas (spring onions) and nopales (cactus). Okay, now we're talking! Obviously I've already eaten the entire platter, and now I can share some thoughts. Can I tell you how much I loved the cebollitas and nopales? This is how good they are-- I never considered being a vegetarian my whole life because I cannot live without eating meat. But after my encounter with these onions and the cactus, I don't know if that idea still holds. Well then again, I really can't eat without a meat protein. But, you know, those onions were amazing. AH, I don't know! See how crazy they made me feel? I'm so confused now because how good they were. Anyways, if you ever go here yourself, ask for the nopales and the cebollitas. You can thank me later. TL;DR I went to get Mexican food I got a platter It had grilled onions and cactus My life has changed

Note: This is not a review on their food but rather their delivery. I wish I had a chance to try the food, but I never received it. I ordered at 7pm and they informed me it would take 30-45 minutes. A little after 8 I called to check in, and I was told the order was on its way. About 40 minutes later I called again, and I was told that he already delivered the order. I was then called back 5 minutes later and was then told that they had "knocked on my door" and had called, but I never opened the door nor never picked up my phone, which is completely false. They then apologized and then offered that they could wrap it to go if I picked it up (2 hours late). I obviously declined. Nothing was offered. I'm not usually a stickler for great service and never even write reviews complaining, but this is just downright sad. They don't know how to run a respectable business.
(1)Rebecca N.
This place came very highly recommended from so many people. It took me a while to get here, but I'm so glad I finally did! My friend and I stopped in here for lunch yesterday and had a great time. It's a small corner place that has a very authentic feel. When we walked in around noon on a Thursday, just one other table was occupied. The waitress was very welcoming, friendly, and quickly brought us water and really great chips. Few things make me happier than amazingly fresh, legit crunchy chips. It's the little things. After ordering, our food came out promptly. I got a veggie chimichanga, which was full of flavorful, fresh sauteed veggies and gooey cheese. Perfect. My friend got a pork burrito, which he really enjoyed. The portions were great and the price was right on. I'll be back soon. Thumbs up!
(5)Jennifer L.
OK - SO ...I am not going to bore you with a long review because you absolutely cannot go wrong here. PLEASE go there if you are even looking at this place as a possibility. Guacamole Chorizo Tacos Fish Tacos Roasted Pok Tacos All AMAZING! Wow. I can't wait to go back. BYOB makes it five stars! Authentic Mexican served by Mexican people, offbeat location in an unassuming but EXTREMELY clean environment. (I am sorry - but normally the bathrooms are sooooo gross but this one was absolutely spotless, smelled good and looked good) And...I hear that if you bring your own tequila they will make you fresh margaritas. HELLO! This is our new "the place" when we go to Philly for the day with the fam ....and I don't see it changing any time soon.
(5)Juan P.
Get the breaded torta is amazing

REALY REALY GOOD. Everything that had during my 6 or so visits was extremely well prepared, very fresh and mostly homemade (I doubt the burrito tortilla was homemade, but I could be wrong). Their homemade red salsa is a very nice combinations of chilli peppers, it has a smokey flavor and a nice little kick. I put it on everything. The green salsa is nice too and has a very bright flavor. The dishes with shrimp (burrito and tacos) were super fresh as the shrimp actually tasted like they should with lots of flavor bursting out. They were not stingy on the portions here and provided plenty of shrimp for the dish!! Chicken tamales also taste as they should and remind me of the tamales I had when I visited Mexico. This is a must try if you like Mexican food. Not a fancy place, but if you enjoy well prepared homemade Mexican food with some regional Puebla dishes, you will be glad you ate here.

Authentic, inexpensive Mexican BYOB in northern liberties. Tacos, burritos, sopes, tortas. I really like that they offer cebollitas and nopales (grilled onions and cactus). They also give you a complimentary basket of chips with a bean sauce on it. Salsa here are really good - verde and and smokey roja.

Ordered a really generic chicken burrito with a white flour tortilla and white rice that I guess was supposed to be Spanish rice -- very plain. Not worth $10 and I'm pretty sure they forgot to give me the beans and rice on the side but I forgot to ask. The staff were nice though.

Time after time they screw up the order, or it never shows up. Black listed for me.

I grew up in southern California and spent many weekends in Mexico, plus the fact that I lived in East L.A. during part of that time. 'Que Chula' reminds me of some of the mexican eateries in East L.A. because of their food authenticity and hours (open at 10 a.m. and closes at 9 or 10 pm) Also, they make their own horchata in house and it is the best one that I have ever had. Seriously. The chips and salsa are very tasty as well. I ordered the 'Mole Poblano' and it was fantastic. The only un-authentic thing that I noticed was the fact that they put iceberg lettuce on the platters. I would much prefer fresh cilantro and a slice or two of avocado. In case you are wondering, Puebla, MX is located about 90 miles southeast of Mexico City/Distrito Federal. I'm looking forward to eating my way through the menu, and perhaps next time I will B.Y.O.B.... if I am not in the mood for some horchata. Oh, my husband and I went there via scooter, but we did notice that parking in the area is ample. I wish there were a bike rack out front. !Oralé!

My new favorite Mexican joint!!! I've been wanting to try this place for months and it did not disappoint. I stopped in on a Wednesday for lunch and ordered the Pollo Enchilada Verde to go. It was awesome!!! Perfect amount of food, the flavors danced on my tongue, and all my senses were touched. Even before my food was ready, I grabbed 2 take out menus-one for my office and one for home because I knew just by sitting there, it would be authentic and delicious. I've been telling every one of my friends who lives in the area that they must check it out!!
(5)Cat K.
I've had my share of Mexican food, from all over California to Mexico. This is hands down the best Mexican Food that I have found in philly. Eat here.
(5)Melissa E.
Absolutely love que chula! I could probably eat here every day and the fact that they're right down the street makes it so much more tempting to do so. I've had plenty of friends order from here during their visits and they all really enjoyed their food. Ingredients are fresh and flavor is on point.
(5)Seth K.
Delicious mexican food, far more authentic than all of the bar tacos in the area. Not that there's anything wrong with bar tacos. Sometimes you want an actual mexican meal though. The Chicken Enchiladas Roja are my personal favorite. I usually get a Green Tamale as well. They deliver, which is awesome. Their menu says they are closed Monday but half the time when I call they are open anyways. Their dining room is by no means fancy, but bring a 6-pack from Bottle Bar with you and what you'll get is a fantastic no-frills dinner experience that is a nice change from the usual Fishtown Gastropub experience. UPDATE: I'm dropping my review 2 stars because their delivery service has really been awful the last half dozen times I've had it delivered. I live a mile away and it is typical for delivery to take well over an hour. It's kind of ridiculous. I usually walk over and pick it up, but sometimes I'm lazy, and it's really annoying to wait so long.

Been to Mexico, been to que chula es puebla. This place is super authentic and has amazing food. Their sauces are spicy and I love it. Camerone tacos are my favorite and I love their chips and pico de gallo. Great food, great service, overall awesome. Oh and they have vegetarian options as well and can make things vegan too. Haters, you can go to taco bell!

I just recently discovered this great little Mexican byob. Sure, Dos Segundos or El Camino are fine choices if you're in the area and you want margaritas & a trendy atmosphere, but sometimes you just want no-frills Mexican food. Up a little farther on 2nd street, past the Northern Liberties crowds lies Que Chula Es Puebla. I've dined in twice (but they also deliver!). The chorizo tacos are so good that I got them both times. If you're a gringo, your server might assume you want your tacos 'with everything' which means lettuce/tomatoes/cheese/crema. If you want them Mexican style with just onion & cilantro, be sure to specify. I sampled my bf's chicken tacos. The chicken was really tender and juicy (unlike some chicken tacos I've had...I'm looking at you Taqueria Veracruzana). The complimentary (seemingly homemade, perfectly crunchy) chips are topped with refried beans and sprinkled with Oaxaca cheese. The red salsa is smokey and spicy. The green salsa is less spicy and a bit too salty for my liking. The guacamole is fresh and flavorful, but it's very chunky. I prefer a smoother, more blended guac without big chunks of onions. For vegetarians, there are no meat substitutes such as seitan or soy 'meat', but there are several options that feature actual vegetables (veggie burritos, chimichanga, quesadellia). Each time that I've eaten here, I've left totally stuffed full of food for about $10 per person.

My local mexican go-to joint. They deliver!
(4)Paul A.
This place is as good as it gets for the food and price. Their spicy beef tacos are the best! I have a lot of experience with Mexican food from living in other parts of the country and there are some very bad places in our city. Good Mexican food does not have to be expensive! They're are only a couple short blocks north of Girard...don't be scared :). Not a "scene" restaurant though...they do not serve liquor/beer but the food cannot be beat.
(4)Jacqueline P.
I've only been here about 2 times, on my way home from from work picking up dinner. Both times I've ordered the steak nachos supreme and have never been disappointed. Good prices, reasonable speed, and I didn't even mention the horchata is amazing. I only give 4 because I have yet to eat there and really see how the service is.

When I moved from California to South Philly, I was happy that I could still get decent Mexican food from several places in the area, and the fact that most of them specialized in Puebla style Mexican food was a plus because it is my favorite regional Mexican food. Then I moved to Northern Liberties and I thought for sure my days of authentic Mexican fare were in the past, which led a single lonely tear to drip slowly down my cheek. Luckily the neighborhood made up for it in lovely cafes, delis and gastropubs. Then, one day at work when I was absolutely famished, I found a menu for Que Chula Es Puebla. It was like a light shone on the menu from heaven and beckoned me to call. My coworkers all order from this place on a regular basis, and I was not disappointed to find they had all my favorite dishes there. The tacos are served either "traditional style" - cilantro/onions on a corn tortilla - or "with everything" or what I call gringo style - that has lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream and on a flour tortilla. I usually go with al pastor, but they have steak, shredded beef, carnitas, chicken, chorizo, and more. Even the tortas are served in authentic style with a wide and long buttery soft roll, crispy on the outside, with fresh avocados, lettuce, jalapenos, and cheese. My favorite is milanesa de res (breaded steak) or milanesa de pollo (breaded chicken). The sopes are also amazing here, the thick corn masa smothered with your choice of meat and covered with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, sour cream, and cheese. I have yet to delve into the platters but will get to that someday!
(4)Keith N.
Great local place for solid and authentic Mexican. The amazing flan is worth the trip alone.
(4)Ryan D.
WARNING: DO NOT ORDER CHIMICHANGAS. CONSUMING A CHIMICHANGA FROM HERE WILL CAUSE A TEAR IN THE SPACE-TIME CONTINUUM. In all seriousness, this is hands down the best mexican food I've had for the price. Que Chula es Puebla has earned a special place in my heart, and my belly. The chimichangas will seriously change your life. Who cares if it's fried and terrible for you, it is the best thing ever. Actually, everything on their menu will change your life. This is real-deal Mexican food on the cheap, in fact they should probably charge more because every time I order from here I am left dumbfounded by the quality and tastiness of food for how much you pay. Anywho, if you have reservations or for some reason haven't tried this little gem yet, please do. You will not regret it. Everything is authentic and delicious.
(5)Sarah S.
The service here was good. As soon as we sat down, the waitress brought out a basket of chips and green and red sauce. I found the sauce to be a bit salty but the chips were really good. I ordered 3 tacos - bistek, chorizo, and pastor - and I enjoyed all 3. But, my friend got the enchiladas verdes and she barely was able to eat bc she said it was too salty. I also go the flan, which I enjoyed, not to sweet but sweet enough for me. I felt bad for my friend which is why I gave it an average rating.
(3)John D.
I've only had the fish burrito, shrimp burrito, and guacamole, but they've all been delicious. I've gotten delivery a number of times and it's always hot and tasty. I also love the mini accoutrements with which they come. QCEP burritos rival only those from Pura Vida and Loco Pez, my other favorite Mexican places.
(5)Norma R.
Excellent place! This is by far the best Mexican food in the area. Coming from Los Angeles, and a Mexican heritage, I can be quite peculiar when it comes to Mexican food, and this is as good as it gets. It's a little pricey, but well-worth it. I've tried a few different selections from the menu and had no complaints. Everything was great, especially the ceviche, which is by far the best ceviche I've ever had. The staff and service is great. My only concern was the time for food to come out. Food took a little long, so not a good place for a quick sit down menu.
(5)Ben H.
Good, cheap, fast, and they deliver! Fish tacos and chicken burritos are my faves. What's not to like?!
(4)Chris E.
Food was very good, I felt sick after eating, only because I ate way too much and he portions are huge. The chicken quesadillas were very good, very cheesy chicken was cooked well. The steak I got was very good, very tender, not over cooked. Very spicy though. I wasn't expecting it but it was still really good. I got this via delivery, it didn't take too long as some of the review suggest. I would reccomend this place.
(4)Sarah O.
When I moved to NoLibs I tried all of the "Mexican" restaurants in the neighborhood, I was disappointed my all of them...Don't get me wrong, Dos Segundo's is fine for dinner and margaritas, but I was looking for an AUTHENTIC, middle of the night, 6 dollar take out burrito...just when I was ready to give up, I stumbled upon this place! The chimichangas are to die for (perhaps literally) and the deliver for free, with no minimum!!! They also always get the delivery to you quickly, so tip them well! I almost forgot, the Horchatas are Amaze-Ballz! Yummm!
(5)Audrey R.
I love Mexican food, always and forever - and I have been almost around the block in terms of Mexican food, both living in Mexico and spending time in communities in the US with large Mexican populations, leading to large amounts of delicious Mexican restaurants... but this place is delicious! It is my favorite mexican restaurant in Philadelphia, and I live dangerously close to it, so they deliver. I generally go for the al pastor burrito when i get delivery, because i know it will travel well and I know it will be delicious. But, when you go straight to the source (to Que Chula es Puebla itself) I dive into the menu a little deeper and have gotten a variety of messier things... all delicious! These include: the enchiladas (green and chicken) chile rellenos (incredible) and a variety of platters. Also they do delicious tamales for 2.50 Also their sopes are like a giant cup of sope (sometimes a little too extravagant on the fried part) but still so delicious also they are BYOB, provide a small plate of tortilla chips with beans and cheese if you eat in, and their salsas are incredible - I want them to bottle the green one so I can just have it for my home. I just created a yelp account so I could write this review, that's how much I endorse que chula!
(5)Star L.
Got delivery from here for lunch today. Got the chicken tacos, they were marinated and shredded, came with 3 tacos on double corn tortillas, not too spicy, good salsa on the side. Good authentic Mexican food AND they deliver AND except credit cards.
(4)Paul W.
Great food, friendly service. Love this place! Have had several meals there and always try something different. The staff is great with suggestions and explaining what things are if I'm I sure.
(5)Kurt I.
First of all, anyone who rated this place earlier and didn't give it a good rating was either a retard and can't even speak proper english, or is bitching about something that is beyond QUE CHULAs control. Its a BYOB. Authentic (yes really) mexican food with no pretense or bullshit. If you want to pay a hell of a lot more for a kitschy, over the top experience - go to El Vez. This place has amazing food at a price you can not deny. Hands down - the best mexican I've had in Phila. Not a ton of vegetarian options, but that's pretty typical of an authentic place. Love the Guacamole!
(4)Jaime B.
In my neighborhood, there are not many decent delivery options. I looked on Yelp and found this spot. The reviews were pretty good so I thought I'd give it a go! I was pleasantly surprised and super happy I found my new go-to Mexican place. The food was incredible! I ordered the enchiladas in red sauce with chips and pico di gallo. Absolutely delicious and can't get much fresher. I'm super excited to reorder from here again!
(5)noelle m.
Cheap tasty Mexican food. They deliver. They deliver to the bar. I'm always happy when I eat here. It's the perfect way to soak up a bunch of beer. The guac is yummy, the shredded beef tacos were really good and the cake was awesome. Oh, and it's pretty cheap. I really appreciate it.

While driving through the streets of Philly at 10:30 in the morning with a rumbling stomach, my co-worker & I wondered as to whether or not Que Chula Es Puebla was open at such an early hour. Our stomachs thanked the Gods of food because as soon as we pull up & park, the "OPEN" sign was all sorts of shiny & colorfully lit. This was my first time at Que Chula Es Puebla but I had heard good things. Our waitress was surprisingly accommodating but not quite knowledgeable of the menu- As I inquired about a dish, she had to ask one of the other workers, one who appeared to be the ice refill man and or disher washer...in any case, she came back and didn't tell me anything that I did not already know. I ended up with the chorizo tacos which were 3 for $6.00- not a particularly bad deal in my opinion. The tacos were large and I was only able to eat 2 out of the 3. I actually just finished the 3rd as I started to write this review. The salsas they provide with the complimentary chips are absolutely delicious, especially the green kind or maybe it's because I like the color. Either way, it's pretty damn tasty. It's a relatively small restaurant and the decor of the establishment wasn't too heavy or light, which is pretty relaxing and easy on the eyes. I'd definitely come back for a round 2 but I'll probably aim for the dinner hours rather than brunch. We probably caught the staff off-guard...my bad.

I have passed Que Chula Es Puebla on my bike a few times since it opened earlier this year. Because I have the inclination to enjoy most Mexican food that I eat, I was expecting to enjoy Que Chula (almost) no matter what I came across. When I walked in with my friend Lulu, they were blasting (what I think was) Mexican music. Further, I think we were the only native English speakers. This joint felt authentic. Without asking, they turned down the music a bit for us. The place was mostly empty, but clean and generally nice. We sat down right away, and were brought complementary chips. Our server, who I would guess to be one of the owners, was an adorable Mexican woman. She was sweet and attentive. We ordered guacamole and chips as an appetizer, and I ordered a slow-roast pork grilled burrito while Lulu got a chimichanga. The guacamole was not the best I've ever had. But for being at 2nd and Master on the 2nd day of spring, I was impressed. Our food took a while, but neither of us minded. When it arrived, we had huge portions in front of us. We both got to the point in our meal where we could have stopped eating and been full, but it tasted so good that we didn't want to stop. In case I haven't made my point, the food really was delicious. Moreover, when you consider that everything was slightly less than $20, it was even more awesome. I think I've already said enough to sell people on this place. But there is more: BYOB and free delivery. I like to support local businesses, but Que Chula seems to have everything going for it. The menu is extensive enough for me to go back a few times and enjoy myself. Tacos, burritos, and other dishes can be filled with fish, meat or veggies. I would be hard NOT to find something to enjoy here. This is probably the best food you can get in the price range. If you want to go here, let me know. I am down.
(4)Hilary P.
I like it, I really do. Tortas and tacos (but no tequila, so they're missing the third T of Mexican food).* My server each time has been super sweet and quick with the water refills. You get free chips and salsa when you eat in, and the green salsa rocks my world. The food is solid but somehow not entirely mouth-watering. Even the torta al pastor (which is also messy beyond belief. My fingers were covered in red afterward). The tacos are good but lacking a little zip. They'll give you extra cilantro if you ask, but I ended up dumping the afore-mentioned green sauce on them since the meat was a little on the dry side. Overall, pleasant but not outstanding. I enjoyed the decor, since it was simple but had random Mexican adornments like serapes and langostas (see accompanying photo). How cute is that little guy? My only regret is that I have not yet tried the flan that LaBan found so earth-shatteringly delicious. * I made that up, sorry. I then googled "three T's" just to make sure they didn't already exist. They don't.
(3)Ajay J.
Very friendly staff. We got the carnitas and roasted pork tacos - "traditional" style with just onions and cilantro. The roasted pork was especially delicious with pineapple pieces. And they have Mexican coffee!
(4)Burt H.
CHORIZO EVERYTHING. Most Mexican places don't have a lot of Chorizo items, but these guys will put Chorizo in just about anything on the menu. Delivery can be a bit dicey at times, but they have never made anything that wasn't delicious in my experience.
(5)Adam C.
I drive by this place all the time on my way to work and there is a big sign indicating they serve breakfast. Finally, one morning, I had enough leisure time to stop and try Que Chula Es Puebla out. In spite of the fact that they serve breakfast I got the impression that they don't really expect to serve too many dine in customers in the late morning because as I walked in my ears were assailed by uncomfortably loud salsa music, clearly for the benefit of the kitchen staff. Since it was so loud nobody heard the door ding and I entered unnoticed, found a table and sat down. After a few minutes someone noticed me and got the radio turned off. Then she came over to greet me and take my order. She asked if I wanted coffee. Of course I wanted coffee. Then she offered me a choice between regular coffee or Mexican coffee. When in Rome...I asked for the Mexican coffee. YUM!. Sweet and cinnamony and tasty all around. I made my food order a little more gringolike and asked for a vegetable omelet which was described on the menu as red and green peppers, mushrooms, onions, brocoli and cheese. I asked for mine not to have any onions or brocoli. My omelet arrived as specified and was a darn tasty egg concoction at that. My one concern was that there was an abundance of zucchini in there. I don't know about you but if I was the chef, preparing an omelet where the diner had specified the omission of a component I would not go adding different components that weren't in the original description. I thought about pointing this out but opted instead to just enjoy my tasty breakfast. I would go back and I would definitely return at dinner time because I can tell that the food will be good.
(4)Mary I.
I had no idea there was Mexican delivery in the area until my neighbor gave me a menu. I ordered the chicken enchiladas with salsa verde. The little girl who took the order couldn't have been sweeter. Delivery took 45 minutes. The food was hot, fresh, perfectly spicy and delicious. What else can you ask for?
(4)Colin R.
This place reserves the right to call itself authentic Mexican. Fish and shrimp tacos are great. Guacamole is simple fresh and fantastic
(5)Yoko T.
Authentic tacos in my neighborhood - what can I say? I eat in or get takeout/delivery from here often. Staff is always friendly and the food is delicious, affordable and fresh. What a great place!
(5)Patrick C.
this place is exceptionally good regardless of the fact that its amazing well priced. I eat there all the time and have never been disappointed. The wait can be a while, but since they are making everything fresh its totally worth the wait. What it lacks in the cool ambiance of the more trendy El Vez or Dos Segundo it more than easily makes up for having a hands down better menu and price.
(5)Peter D.
Solid Mexican in North Philly. I cannot complain about this place. Six bucks and you get your tacos and you get the heck outta there. Five minutes and that was all it took. I'd definitely give them my money again because their tacos al pastor were pretty good and loaded, something typically that the South Philly would charge an extra fifty cents to a buck per taco. Next time I come I will make sure to get a burrito to see how they stack up in that platform.
(3)C K.
My fiancee is in love with this place - he loves their tacos and that it is super cheap. I'm not a huge fan of Mexican food, so for me it was just meh. That being said, though, the service was fantastic, and the food was super quick in arriving. Also, their guacamole was delicious and tasted very fresh.
(4)Alli S.
For me and my bf this is, hands down, our favorite Mexican spot in the city. Food is delicious, bright, fresh and as authentic as it gets. Whenever we come home from a trip to Mexico, a visit here is just about the only thing that can cheer us up. Never gotten delivery but we enjoy getting takeout as well as dining in for the atmosphere and the warm, friendly service. One of the most remarkable things about Que Chula is how consistent the food is...we go through phases where we get takeout here once a week and things always taste exactly the same. We are addicts and we don't even care.
(5)David W.
I ate breakfast here in early November of 2013. Superb service. Excellent food.
(5)Jen O.
Stopped by Que Chula Es Puebla on Saturday night for take-out. The owner was friendly and asked how we wanted the tacos prepared (onions, lettuce, tomatoes, crema). The food took a while even though the restaurant was empty. Or maybe I was just impatient. We ordered rice and beans, bean dip with tortillas, chicken tacos and a chiorizo chimichanga. Once home, I opened the bags to find that the tacos were missing from the order. No big deal, it happens. But here's the thing: They deliver, which is great. They should have offered to deliver the tacos that were left out of the order. They didn't. (I don't live that far from the restaurant). They also didn't refund me for the tacos, although I guess I didn't really expect them to. The salsas were excellent -- careful of the red one: it's sweetly smoky at first and then it turns into mouth fire. The chimichanga was overwhelming. So much chiorizo and cheese, in a deep-fried flour tortilla. I could only eat about a quarter of it. It was served with some iceberg lettuce and a slice of tomato and avacado. The "bean dip" was pureed pinto beans with a smattering of cheese. Tasty and uncomplicated. The rice and beans were rice with the "bean dip." I didn't try the shredded chicken tacos, but my bf says that on a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the best tacos ever, they were a 7.5 -- very good, not great. I really wanted to give this place 5 stars, but the experience itself wasn't awesome. There was a lot to choose from on the menu and I'll definitely be back to check out more.
(3)Stephanie K.
This place is absolutely amazing. Enough said. Large and quality meals and so fresh tasting! I want to move closer so I can go more often!
(5)Amanda G.
This is my favorite Mexican place in the city, hands down. I wouldn't advise eating-in even though it's a BYO since the atmosphere is kind of pizza-shoppy and the neighborhood isn't the greatest to look at, but I've done it and it's been fine. We normally order take-out from this place and that suits our needs pretty well. The taco shell tacos with ground beef are the best things I've ever tasted. I will warn you, though, we've had our order messed up more than once. Once when we ate-in and once when a guy delivered on a bike. Speak clearly and make sure they know what you're asking for, and always check your order before you leave. Even with those issues, this place is still my fav. Super yum!
(5)Tamara O.
I was recommended by a few people to go to this great place. First sight of it isn't very comfortable but the staff is extremely helpful and sweet and the food was seriously so good. I had the veggie burrito, and it was full of delicious, fresh veggies and it was a pretty big burrito so I was happy to enjoy the left overs. I was told to try the Flan so when I went back the second time I did and.. wow.. it is definitely amazing. I am now a frequent visitor with a bonus of working 5 minutes away!
(4)Ariel D.
Ordered some take out a few weeks ago from Que Chula Es Puebla and was very satisfied. From the outside it looks kinda shady but it is really nice on the inside. You can tell it is family run place with the women running front of house and watching telenovela and the kids running around. The food was ready in 15 minutes which is awesome. It took me longer to walk to and from the Piazza than it did to wait on the food. The menu is pretty funny its pretty much the same six things served in different ways. Food was good but not great, but having decent Mexican take out within walking distance that takes credit is awesome and I'll definitely be ordering again.
(3)Andrew P.
Que chula apparently means How Cute is Puebla, Well, I have no idea how cute it is, because I always order delivery! I typically get chicken tacos and a side of pico de gallo, which is always super fresh. The chicken is braised in something reddish and a little spicy. The pico is pretty standard, and they are very generous with the cilantro. I've tried a lot of their food: the tortas (sandwiches) are HUGE. I love the hawaiian one. I also love the taco salad, which has, what I consider to be a more tex mex feel to it. The delivery usually take about 30 minutes, and its always the same dude on a bike. Sometimes they don't have delivery if the weather is horrible, then again, you are a terrible person for trying.
(5)Kati G.
This is my absolute favorite place in Philadelphia for Mexican food! Last month a bunch of friends and I went to Que Chula to celebrate my birthday and it was so much fun! They were so accommodating and friendly. We shared our cake with them and it was great!! This is my go to take out spot when I don't feel like leaving the house on these wintry nights! Nachos, tacos, burritos, and the taco salad are my favorites!
(5)Caitlyn H.
Authentic Mexican food dirt cheap. I love this place. It's not Tex Mex or Americanized Mexican food. It's legit Mexican. I'm usually the only white person in the place when I come in and the staff only sort-of speaks English. That's how you know it's good. Everything here is amazing. Chicken burrito? Salted beef? Homemade chips and salsa? Holy hell I love it. It's SUPER casual and there isn't anything fancy about it, but the food is EXCELLENT. Eat here. You will love it.
(5)Jessica E.
I absolutely love Mexican food and am always wary of trying new places for fear of disappointment, but this place was great - the food and the service. They didn't mind at all that we needed a table for 9 (obnoxious, I know). It's BYOB which is always a plus. The chips that they give you for free at the start of the meal have refried beans on them - really nice touch! Guacamole was definitely the best I ever had anywhere - when we ran out of chips, we were all reaching over and eating it with forks. I got chorizo quesadillas which were a tiny bit too simple but still very well done. The most expensive things on the menu were only $12, which were huge platters that came with your main dish plus rice, salad, and refried beans. Atmosphere is really simple and un-fancy, which Mexican places should be. Our server was fantastic. She was really friendly and patient, especially considering that there were 9 of us. She even offered to help us carry leftover beer out to the car, which was hilarious.
(4)Holly O.
this place is solid. no froo froo, just classic mexican fare. don't come to this place looking for anything fancy but the food we've eaten is good. not gonna blow your mind, but will satisfy your craving. and it's cheap to boot. the one thing i will say about this place which i really think you all should know is they have the BEST FLAN in the city!! it is creamy, rich, dense but smooth with a perfect not too sweet caramel sauce. seriously. i would come here just for the flan. it's that good.
(4)H L.
Very friendly staff. I have had several things here and have never left disappointed. My favorite so far has been the grilled shrimp burrito.
(4)susan l.
Not super fast, and not super cozy, but great great food. We like to order take out. Meals are under $10, and I'd recommend anything but the chalupas (kind of disappointing) or the quesadillas (real basic cheese/meat - kind of too plain). Chimichangas, tacos, enchiladas - all great.
(4)di z.
They are the best, I love them. I have had the most amazing mexican and every time I go there it comes with a side of South American TV entertainment! I can barely eat my food, Im laughing so hard! I feel like home. While I live 3 blocks away, I wish they delivered, for the lazy-me days.
(5)Sam B.
I drive across town to eat here. I just keep having great experiences when I go. All the Chimis as well as the quesadillas are excellent. Prices are dirt cheap.
