Dos Tacos

Shrimp Tacos (El Jafe) Really legit.
It would be nice to get 3 tacos for what you pay. Just saying…

Ta-​Korea tacos and the yuca fries are really delicious. (Probably the best yuca fries I’ve ever had.) I love ordering online ahead of time and picking it up. The line does get long during lunch hour, but that’s to be expected. The price is reasonable and the tacos are big! I feel like I could eat more than two tacos but I do get pretty full downing the tacos and the yuca fries.

Good tacos, had 2 el Jefe tacos and a soda for $ 13. Would repeat to try their other creations!

The Hook Up is now 13.49 and instead of your choice of sides, you get chips with salsa and a Jarritos soda instead of a choice of anything. Thank god the tacos haven’t changed.

I was recommended to come here to eat and I was not disappointed. The menu had something for everybody. Everything comes with two tacos. The chips and the guacamole were good and vey fresh. I got the «Los Clasicos «tacos which was good, my cousin who invited me, tried the «Le Frenchman» which according to the cashier is one of their most popular order. Overall a good place if you’re trying to order something quick.

Went here for lunch and found this place to be extremely small. The dining area had 3 or 4 small tables. Staff was friendly and service was quick.
The tacos were good, but nothing to write home about. The flavors were combined well, but there was nothing that stood out on my palate. I tried a pulled chicken taco and a taco with pork in it. The chicken taco was kinda bland.
Because of the size of the dining area people were literally standing over you waiting to get their food. I found that to be quite annoying, as I don’t want anyone having the ability to breath over my neck while I am eating. This place will definitely go on my one and done list…

Finally tried Dos Tacos for lunch with two coworkers because we didn’t want to go far for lunch. I tried the pork tacos, and we split yucca fries. The yucca fries were very good and still hot, but the tacos were nothing special.
My coworker had the beef tacos, which came in hard shells and looked like they were from a high school cafeteria. My other coworker had the chicken tacos, which looked good. All of our tacos however were very watery (see picture). None of us know what all the water was from, but all of our to-​go boxes ended up with a layer of water and our tortillas became very soggy.
My pork tacos tasted ok, although the smokey flavor was pretty overwhelming. Unfortunately I couldn’t eat half of one taco because the piece of pork was mostly fat (see picture).
Overall not bad, but definitely not worth the price. They’re way too expensive for what you actually get.

I went here for lunch and was not impressed. I tried the Ta-​Korea taco and the Le Frenchman taco. The first problem is these taco names. By the name of the taco you have no idea what I ordered. Le Frenchman is a chicken taco and Ta-​Korea is a steak taco. The chicken taco was bland. The steak taco was good, with nice thin slices of steak, but not memorable. The place is very small. The few tables are only tables for 2 people, so you can’t go there assuming you will get a seat. There are better taco places in the area, so this one is definitely a one and done.

Too overpriced for what you’re getting. Impulsively came in driven by hunger for what we thought would be some authentic, delicious, filling tacos that wouldn’t break the bank. Two tacos, the Korean and the al pastor cost almost $ 20. Each order came with two tacos. No way each taco was worth $ 5. I’ve gotten way better tacos for half the price.
Not only were the tacos under-​filled, the quality did not taste fresh. The pork in the al pastor tacos had a strange consistency and seemed to be mostly fat. The Korean steak was just ok. Also, the tables were so grimy, they should really consider wiping them down more regularly. I didn’t even want to touch the table so I just ended up sitting there uncomfortably. Not a great dining experience. Maybe if I was drunk it would have tasted better…

2 tacos. How did I think that would be enough for dinner.
I ordered the Phat Pig, fat indeed with large chunks of fat in the meat. The two tacos I received were thrown together sloppily where the sour cream was not present on one, and nearly missed on the other. The price wasnt worth two tacos.
I have grown to really like mexican food, but I will try a new place when I visit Philly again which how many options there are.
The cashier was very nice.

Meh. Nothing impressive. This was my second time trying this place and it was just as unimpressive as the first, but I thought I’d give it the benefit of the doubt and try it again. It looks promising from the outside but much too overpriced for the mediocrity of the food. Poor customer service, the cashier was quite rude, it took too long for the food and they refused to serve cups of water, they would only sell water in boxes for ~$ 3.00 instead of cups or plastic bottles. Also, they were out of 4 different tacos that we tried to order. There was also a piece of labeled «microwaveable» (or so it appears) wrapper on our corn or «elotes» as they call it, way underwhelming. It was overpriced for the quality and amount of food you get. Taco Bell or any other taco restaurant is honestly much better for whatever that says in regards to the tacos. It’s located in a parking garage on 15^th street and Sansom. I wouldn’t recommend this place.

Soupy tacos.
Maybe it was because I got the mushroom tacos? Either way, my friend’s tacos were also soupy and it was a little weird. The salsa also wasn’t spicy enough.
However, the corn tortilla was delicious! I wouldn’t recommend getting the mushroom tacos because you could definitely just make those on your own.

The tacos (I got the Korean bulgogi taco) are well favored and almost… dare I say… healthy? (almost?) The service was great as well. Everything was fast and fresh as can be and perfectly cooked. I certainly enjoyed my taco and would be back when I am in Philly.

First off, I was born and raised in southern CA. So, take with that what you will.
Two years on the east coast and I have not had any Mexican food… on purpose, but a coworker and I were walking by this place during lunch the other day. Being tired of the usual spots around work, I decided to give it a try. Walking in, I noticed that the spot was really small but the interior decoration was cute. Their menu is basically chalkboard-​ed on the walls. Again, it was cute and fun but as a first-​timer, it was a little overwhelming to read. I was confused as to what I was looking at and what my options were. The girl sitting behind the register was pretty useless and unfriendly also.
I ordered two classic tacos and she asked me if I wanted two orders or two tacos. Again, since there were no descriptions of anything other than ingredients on their menu walls, I didn’t understand what she was really asking so I just reiterated that I would like two tacos. I attempted to make some fun, light talk but she wasn’t very receptive. The guy standing next to her was much more pleasant… I wish he would’ve helped me instead. When I picked up my order and said thank you, she literally looked at me and said nothing. lol ugh!
The tacos came out quickly. By the time I got back to work, they were a little cold. Blegh. Accepting the fact that nothing on the east coast is going to be the same as the spots back home, I was ready to be realistic in my expectations. The tacos were ok. Nothing to be wowed about but also not terrible. I think this is a case where if the service was better, I would consider giving them a second shot. Being that that was not the case, I will most likely not go back to this place. Moving on…

Stopped by here post-​bar hopping on Saturday night so plus is that they’re open late night! Two mushroom tacos will run you appx $ 8. The wait is also really long — after ordering we waited an additional 10 – 15 mins for our tacos — in total we probably spent 20 – 25 minutes for these 2 tacos.
Overall the taste was pretty good, they load it up with mushrooms, nice flavor but I don’t think any flavor in tacos could justify a 20 minute wait.

I saw Dos Tacos on a list of best tacos in the city and since it was near by I decided to give it a try for lunch.
Let me start off by saying the tacos were great, fresh and cooked to order and it was about $ 8.00 for, you guessed it, two tacos. However, they are not hold back on the filings and two tacos are good enough to leave me satisfied.
That being said, maybe it was the day I visited, but during a lunch time rush I expected a quicker turn out. It took me 25 minutes to get two tacos done… because there was one cook, one cashier and another who placed cooked food in the respected bags. I thought this was kind of inefficient given people have a limited lunch time.
As I said the food was great but I wouldn’t go out my way or be willing to wait such a long time for their tacos again.

Heard dos tacos was one of the best taco spots in Philly and after trying them, I can see why! I got the los clasicos and my boyfriend got the ta-​Korea. Both were excellent. In case you didn’t figure it out by now, you get two tacos per order. It’s only been open for 4.5 months, but they’re doing well for themselves so far. It’s not a place to sit down and eat. There’s no place to sit, just a couple tables to stand and eat if you wanted to stay there. Great for take out and they’re open til 3am for you nightlife lovers. Love the music bumpin’ inside and outside the establishment. Definitely want to go back and try more of their options and wish I ordered a churro! Next time

Talk about a hole in the way, in a good way! There’s not even a bathroom in here for the employees to use! They go across the street.
This menu was straight forward, but that did not make picking my tacos easier. I tried the korean tacos and my friend got the ahi tuna and we ended up swapping one for one.
I loved both of these tacos! Great fresh ingredients, and they were stacked pretty high, but not to a point where things were gushing out of the taco. The korean one was definitely my favorite out of the two because I found it had a bit more flavor and I liked the hot taco better than the cold served tuna. Don’t get me wrong, the tuna was great (topped with avocado and some awesome salsa), but I just wanted a warm taco. Two tacos will definitely fill you up and have your stomach feeling pleasantly full, but not so full it hurts to walk.
Side dishes, guac is only $ 1.50 here! And yes! that includes chips! Such a great deal for a start up place!
Only complaint here is a personal one: I’m not a fan of the corn tortilla. I prefer flour cause I think it’s not as dry, but I’ll eat it anyway :)

«You only get two?!» Yes, the place is called dos tacos.
I remember a long line, spending around 17 bucks, and some decent tacos. It was late, after Good Dog closed, so I couldn’t get the full effect.
3.5

Epic drunk munchies spot in philly. Each taco order comes with 2 tacos. This is the only thing I don’t like about this place because it would be cool to mix and match.
Yucca Fries: thick, salty, and crispy with a creamy interior.
Rice and beans: really good flavor. You get a nice hint of cilantro which I think is unique.
The Phat Pig:
My favorite menu item.
Bacon, Braised and Crispy Pork Belly, Lettuce, Radish, Cilantro, Pico De Gallo. Great salty and smoky combo.
Ta-​Korea:
Another great combo, but sometimes too spicy for me. Flank Steak, Korean Bulgogi BBQ Sauce, Spicy Kimchi, Pickled Cucumber
