Taqueria Puerto Veracruzano

A gem in South Philadelphia! Taquera Puerto Veracruzano provides authentic Mexican, Puerto Rican, and Columbian food. The Spanish speaking staff lend to the rich culture of the restaurant. Owner, Epi Ortiz, handpicks the freshest produce, spices and ingredients and makes everything there - fresh. It's positively delicious. Moreover, the wait staff are friendly and make sure you are more than comfortable, taken care of, and satisfied with your meal. It's a friendly atmosphere and - plenty of close parking! Definitely try the empanadas!

Great food, cute and warm atmosphere, nice people... they serve more than just Mexican food- they also specialize in Colombian and Puerto Rican platters. So when you are tired of tacos and burritos you should most definitely order the Colombian Empanadas with the special signature cilantro sauce. They have an online menu too! www.comidalacostena.com

This place is so cute and has such good food. There's a gigantic Virgin Mary statue in there. The people working there don't always speak English but they are very cute about it. Once, the woman called someone else and put me on the phone with her to place my order! The pointing-at-the-menu method probably would've worked! Ha ha! When you eat in they bring you chips and salsa. It's such a comfortable and friendly atmosphere. I take everyone there.
