about us

Real Mexican. No Apologies.

La Chingada isn't trying to be cute. We're not here to soften flavors for the squeamish. We're here because Northeast Philly deserves Mexican food that tastes like Mexico - slow-cooked, hand-pressed, family-recipe authentic. Our birria simmers low and slow until the meat falls apart at a glance. Our tortillas hit the comal fresh. Our salsas are made the way our grandmothers taught us: with attitude and chiles that mean it. From the Birria Tacos that built our name to the Quesabirria that converts skeptics on the first bite, every plate that leaves our kitchen carries a story from somewhere south of here. "My favorite is the Birria, but love everything... I have a new favorite in town." - Michael C. We're a neighborhood spot on Torresdale Ave with big-flavor energy. Whether you're rolling through after a shift, feeding the family on a Friday, or just chasing the kind of meal that makes you close your eyes for a second - pull up. We've got you.

I have ordered from this restaurant a few times, They never disappoint, I never expected to find to level Authentic Mexican food, outside of downtown Philadelphia. My favorite is the Birria, but love everything... I have a new favorite in town.

Great food! I had the birria fajitas, great flavor! I asked to swap the rice with Plantains so glad I did because it was so good! Super friendly staff! The cook asked if we had any allergies, so they are accommodating. He gave a sample of ponche, a hot fruity drink, it was so nice especially on a cold day.

I've been to several Mexican restaurants, but this one stands out from the rest. The food is exquisite. For the first time, I can truly say that this place makes you feel at home, and that's what matters. A good restaurant is made up of good food, good staff, good hygiene, a pleasant atmosphere, a sense of origin, and above all, excellent customer service. This place has it all. Not to mention, they treat you like family. I definitely won't be looking for anywhere else; I'll stay where they make me feel at home!
