La abuela' means 'Grandmother' in Spanish. Gilberth Cab, the chef and owner, learnt to combine the clean yet nuanced flavors of the Yucatan Peninsula from his grandmother.
Great bread, awesome amount of meat and veggies, mayo was perfect. Wish I had added more cucumber! Will be requesting 50% sweetness on the Brown Sugar Pearl Milk and the coffee jelly was amazing! 10/10 *and no extra waste in packaging always a plus!

One of my favorite places to grab lunch in Manayunk---They always have happy hour food and milk tea specials for 30% off. My favorites are the Brown Sugar Pearl Milk , shrimp bahn mi, and popcorn shrimp... Highly recommend as the food is always fresh and quickly delivered.

A top banh mi spot in Philly, even compared to places in the various Viet-heavy neighborhoods. Good quality + experimental/interesting/fusion flavors. All of the banh mis are good but faves are Classic and Getting Fancy. Drinks are good too

The Popcorn Chicken was one of the worst tier quality chicken in the city I've had so far. Inedible. It's the texture of overcooked deep fried scallops; hard, rubbery, tough. It had 13 pieces, and lettuce + carrot dressing the bottom of the container. Please don't buy this unless you want to suffer.
Furikake Fries are always mid but I like furikake enough to buy these
