Where to Eat Tacos in Philadelphia

Chef Alex Tellez brings his Mexico City upbringing to the menu, pulling from both contemporary Mexican cuisine and pre-Hispanic influences. Tacos aren’t always on the menu, but they’re a special worth grabbing during happy hour Tuesday through Friday from 4pm to 6pm and on weekends. For happy hour, Jamaica infused corn tortillas are stuffed with grilled herb chicken, carnitas, or cauliflower pastor. The weekend tacos, on the other hand, are way more experimental: Think along the lines of birria tacos with ramen, pastor negro octopus with avocado salsa and pineapple salsa, and steamed beef tongue.
