Edited 6 months agoThe food and service are always amazing. I look forward to my next visit. Thank you for the great food. I truly enjoy their steak tacos and steak quesadilla. This restaurant is probably the best kept secret in south Jersey. The owners and staff are amazing at what they do. You’ve gained a customer for life.

a year agoI have been eating at this restaurant for over 10 years, and I have always loved their food, their service, and the friendliness of their cashiers. Thank you very much.

a year agoLa Calpeña has the best burrito I've had so far in South Jersey. The suadero meat is so tender and tasty. This restaurant is a little hole in the wall but the quality of their food proves that they're even better than the more popular Mexican restaurants in the surrounding areas. The food is inexpensive and they give a good portion size. Two thumbs up.

6 years agoLook 👀 this meal !! Fantastic. Little corner restaurant with great food. There are prolly 100 Latin restaurants in Camden and I believe I stumbled upon one of the best. The employees were very nice and even though I spoke little to no Spanish they totally got my order right!!! I will be back very soon ! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

7 years agoThe atmosphere is very calm the service is really good and organize. Food prices are extremely low compare to other Mexican restaurant in the area I love that I don't have to wait so long too get my food and their natural juices are delicious everything is really good quality the tacos AL pastor and the burrito hit the spot every single time. I also like that is secluded from the other businesses the area feel safe it doesn't feel like the busy area of Camden

8 years agoThe food was delicious and so worth it. One of the best restaurants that serves Mexican dishes in Camden. Food was really great and comes with cheap prices. I like the staff. Knows how to please the customers but not overbearing. All I can say is great! Everything was a great experience! Left the place with a clean plate and a very satisfied stomach.

9 years agoA group of friends and I found one of the best Mexican food restaurants in Camden! The location was a little off of the beaten path and a little difficult to find for those of us who aren’t native to Camden, however, the delicious food that we found while there was completely worth every minute of the extra time that it had taken to find the place. If anyone in the S. Jersey area wants great food and amazing horchata you should take the time to find Taqueria La Calpeña at 300 N. 27th Street in East Camden, NJ!!! The food was relatively cheap as well, especially considering how great their tacos were! I ordered three tacos for $2.50 a piece before asking for extras. Of course, I had to ask for specialty tacos and asked to have nopales added. Nopales, otherwise known as a prepared and cooked cactus, is a delicacy among the culture and one of my favorite things to add to tacos. There’s no need to worry you won’t be pricked by any thorns. The staff here know what customers want and are careful to avoid doing anything to make customers dissatisfied. My friends and I from Rutgers-Camden University truly had a good experience while visiting their establishment. Taqueria La Calpeña is a children friendly restaurant with plenty of seating. There was a large family there during our visit and everyone seemed very happy with the service as well as the meals that they were served. Laughter echoed throughout the dining area during dinner. Personally, I enjoyed giving them my business so much that I will more than likely be stopping in often. The business has at least one flat screen television that was tuned in to a Spanish soap opera that played while we ate. Both friends that I had went there to eat with had not tried horchata before and I asked them if they wanted to give it a shot. They did. I’m certain that they will be trying the sweet, milky drink on their own again soon judging from their smiling reactions to the new refreshing drink that inspired their taste buds to respond with pleasure! The food was so amazing that no one had left anything to waste. We all asked for take-out boxes so we could enjoy the remainder of our meals from the comfort of our homes later that evening! Give the place a shot if you are ready to enjoy one of the finer Mexican dining restaurants in Camden. -Tony Ceballos
