    Great market!! Store in the front and restaurant in the back. Even people selling street corn out front. Friendly workers. Ordered tacos al pastor. Incredible flavors! Never had al pastor as juicy as this. Tacos are loaded up!! Salsa verde and salsa picante were VERY good and went well with the tacos. Went in and ordered them to-go, and they were ready in minutes. I will be back this week!!

    El Changarro is located in a shoppers delight of a strip mall (Kohl's, Ross and Petco), but with probably the worst entrances and exits of any shopping center in Bensalem. My family was recently pulled into this small shop by the aromas of a to-go order that walked out of the entrance. The front of the business is a grocery store jam packed with Hispanic grocery items. Walking towards the back opens up into a clean, bright and inviting restaurant area. You order by walking up to the cashier area. The kitchen is in full view right behind the ordering area and there are plenty of tables. The staff had a small army of ladies cutting up fresh ingredients and cooking away as the orders came in. They were smiling and waving to my 4 year old. Extremely kind and nice people working there. We ordered Tacos de Birria, a Chicken Quesadilla, Nachos with beans/cheese and Sopes. Everyone enjoyed their food. The quesadilla was a bit drippy and probably our least favorite item. The nachos were ridiculously good - the chips were so fresh and crispy. I tried three different types of Sopes with my order - chorizo, pork and steak. They weren't easy to handle so I had to knife and fork it. My wife and youngest tore up the double shelled tacos that had Birria steak in them. We had plenty of leftovers for another meal. For our second order we did take out and I ordered a Torta with the birria steak, onions and avocado. The bread was fresh and very good. It was a delicious choice and enough for two meals. The prices were fair at $10 for the three tacos, $11 for a torta and $10.25 for the sopes. The house sauces (salsa verde and chipotle) were pretty bland for me, but my family liked them. They weren't too crowded for a Saturday afternoon and the wait time for food wasn't bad at all. There is certainly good grub coming out of this kitchen! Thanks guys!

    If my hair was bleached blonde and spikey, I would say that this place is the real deal taco joint that you gotta check out. If I wore bowling shirts and gold chains, I would say that this is the funky little dive for your authentic Mexican eats. It 's El Changarro in Bensalem Pennsylvania. I'm proof that you can get fat on cocaine.
