About This Place

AUTHENTIC PHILLY AT THE CORNER in Los Angeles serves up a true taste of Philadelphia right in the heart of the city. This standout cheesesteak and American fast-food eatery prides itself on delivering boldly flavored, freshly prepared sandwiches and comfort food favorites that satisfy cravings with every bite. Located at 1855 W Manchester Ave, it’s a must-visit spot for anyone seeking genuine Philly cheesesteaks, crispy chicken wings, and more in a casual, no-frills setting.

The menu is a delightful spectrum of classic American and Philly-inspired treats that fuse freshness with bold flavors. Highlights include their signature Authentic Philly Cheesesteak, praised for its perfect balance of tender meat, melted cheese, and fresh veggies, creating a rich harmony of textures and tastes. Fans often rave about the carne asada fries—crispy fries generously topped with savory carne asada, adding a punch of spice and zest that keeps you digging deeper.

For taco lovers, the options don’t disappoint. Choose from 3 Fish Tacos featuring crispy battered fish with the bright, tangy freshness of pico de gallo and spicy coleslaw, or enjoy 3 Shrimp Tacos dressed with chipotle sauce that delivers a gentle smoky heat in every mouthful. The chicken and steak tacos, each served with creamy guacamole and vibrant pico de gallo, add layers of flavor that feel both indulgent and balanced.

Complement these savory entrees with their creamy big shakes—Vanilla, Chocolate, or Strawberry—all topped with a generous swirl of whipped cream that adds a sweet, velvety finish to your meal. Or indulge in the tender, juicy chicken tenders paired perfectly with golden fries, a classic combo that keeps customers coming back for more.

    These Philly cheesesteaks are the real deal. They taste like you're really there getting a sandwich in PA. The meat isn't too chewy or horribly overcooked like most places. Got the Philly and the carne asada fries and wow did they not disappoint! No bathrooms, but other than that this place is a must-come to try out before going to a show at the Forum.

    I come here often and myself and my family LOVES eating here in a regular basis! My aunt always order the pastrami sandwich. Personally, I love ordering their Authentic Philly Cheesesteak! It is so good and filling! Not only that... but the employees here cook your food fresh to order! It is not like regular fast food places at all because this food here is obviously much more fresh and hot. This is a must visit place if you're ever in the los angeles / inglewood area! The building is nice and new and there is alot of artistic design throughout the store so this business sets a good atmosphere.

    Had two shrimp tacos on corn tortillas.  Each taco had two pieces of fried breaded shrimp on it with Pico De Gallo, Spicy Coleslaw, and Chipotle sauce.  The tacos were extremely good and well prepared (see photos).  Originally, we came to this plaza for Bill’s Tacos which is a few spots away in the same Plaza, however, Authentic Philly on the Corner has way better food than Bill’s Tacos and highly recommended compared to its nearest competitor.  The place was clean and colorful, with numerous tables and stools available for the dine-in customers.

    I normally order the burgers. You can get a whole meal for under $11 which is great in this economy. When asked, they will season their burgers to perfection. Which I'm grateful for because barely anyone seasons well these days. They have a live predator statue for pictures. Which is cool for the kids they enjoyed taking photos with it. All in all not a bad spot.
