    Al pastor taco, chips, and Margarita.
    Tasha E.

    Found this place while exploring south street. A friend and I just wanted to grab some tacos before getting tattoos. We came across this cute little building that reminded me of being on an island- brick exterior, a dining and bar entrance separated, good foliage, and old style lighting. We immediately had great service, and with COVID 19 it blew us away how friendly the waitress was. We were immediately sat and offered menus. We got tacos and a quesadilla. Both were great. Complimentary chips and salsa. The good salsa too, not the one that taste like tomato soup. I had a margarita and the waitress made sure I was good and even offered to top me off with the extra bit that had been made. Friendly, polite, good food, and good service. Not sure what else I could ask for!

    My friend and I were HUGE fans of the adobe cafe on passayunk. We were disappointed to hear about it closing, but excited to hear about the opening in south Philly. We went tonight and unfortunately did not have the same experience. They must have switched chefs because the food was no where near as good as the food we had in the past. The food was pretty bland. We got nachos and enchiladas. Would not go back for the food. They said they have karaoke (the Adobe on passayunk was famous for their karaoke!) but unsure where they would do that since there is no stage/clear area for karaoke. Hopefully it gets better. I really loved the one on passayunk.

    My wife and I had dinner at the newly located Adobe Cafe last night and were really pleased with our experience. The food was really good, the service was very accommodating and we took advantage of some nice happy hour specials. We'll be back.

    Glad to see Adobe Cafe in the neighborhood. They bring the same great quality and atmosphere up the road from their old location on Passyunk. Nice bar with multiple TV's for all the games. Great happy hour specials, specialty drinks and beer selection. I had the adobe wings today. Excellent! Highly recommend. I'll be back soon to try the rest of the menu. (Pictures posted)

    We sat at the bar and the service was amazing . I have to say the happy hour specials are great for this city. I've attached a menu. My partner is a taco aficionado so for her to say the tacos were good, well then they are very good. You can get your tacos with a choice of soft or hard taco shells. We got the chicken and steak fajitas. They were very good. Two recommendations would be as follows: I would like to see more vegetables in the fajitas and how about giving your customers four tortillas up front vs having to pay $1.50 for additional tortilla. The tortillas come in groups of three only. I think this place has some really good happy hour drinks, especially cocktails and great food specials. Check it out I think you'll be glad you did. I was.

    Best Tex-mex in fishtown!…read more Ofcourse that's a quote from a local friend, I personally haven't been around the area enough to say that but I was happy to accept such a thing as our food was perfect all around! Just went with chips and quac to start up, then I personally went with the chronic because, pulled pork, Mac and cheese, on a sandwhich together? The added toppings brought it all together and devoured every bite! Drank a Texas goldrush as well which was very tasty. Overall, great food, vibes and service. Check them out!

I love that they have tvs outside and picnics benches, my kind of place. My mojito was so freaking good and if I just went for drinks they would probably get 5 stars. That's not the case. The Bad: We waited awhile for our food but no big because it's crowded. The nachos came without the pulled pork and were so so salty but lacking cheese and everything else. She did end up giving us the pulled pork on the side. The ok: our shrimp tacos were ok just seemed like shrimp and sauce in a tortilla but the flavor was good. Bbq platter was ok, e liked the bbq sauce and hot sauce choices. The ugly: after waiting awhile for our food to come out it was cold, the rice, the refried beans and the baked beans for the bbq were all cold not even a little warm. Our waitress was busy and hard to catch so we just left it. Ate what we wanted and left, they include 20% gratuity in the check. I'd go back because I like the vibe a lot just things were a miss tonight.

The bar has a fantastic variety of tangy, spicy, bright toppings and salsas to make your taco your own. My favorite is always the reddish orange salsa and this one tastes just like the taco places back in Texas. The tacos are hefty, so that makes up for the slightly higher than average price. They didn't have jamaica when I went so they subbed in mango juice and it was incredible, my new go-to. Service is friendly, fast and there's plenty of seating and a nice outdoor space.

I was even getting too hungry to be able to make a decision. After he offers to help me by making a decision, I decide we will go to blue corn. He informs me of a large snapping turtle he saw on his way to me. We head back, she has now gathered a concerned posse,, everyone trying to figure out how involved to get. I look at my date who is already googling "how to pick up snapper turtle". I laugh and look back up to see that he has pretty much handled it, people clap for him, and we are back on our way to the italian market. We sit outside because it's the only option, and I am overwhelmed because its all babies yelling, plates clanking, cars passing, pedestrians walking. I usually don't like eating outside, but sometimes that's the music and you blink through it and you're good. So the first thing we order is the Ofrenda De Los Dioses. It comes to us quickly and smothered in a vibrant green sauce. I watch my date pick up his fork and knife, but I'm still looking through the menu for what else I want, and I am an only child so I don't want him to eat without me. This was my favorite thing we ate, but I do not have a photo of it because my date brought out the neurosis in me and everything went white. But I suggest you eat this too. I ordered a classic margarita , and it came in a glass that made me feel like I was the most interesting person on the block and it was my birthday. I ordered tinga sopecitos and our charismatic server suggested I could just get one of each. Everyone who works here is really great at talking about the food they serve, and I have a lot of admiration for this. I enjoyed listening to the staff talk to other tables about all kinds of stuff on the menu. My date ordered the Blue tacos, they come out looking beautiful, and he's clearly enjoying them when he realizes he never washed his hands after picking up his lady turtle friend. We laugh, he continues to eat his food,, I continue to hold his hand. One thing I love about blue corn is that they really let flavors breathe. Nothing is overly salty or drenched in any one flavor. Sometimes I find chorizo a bit indulgent , where I can only have it in small amounts, but the chorizo sopecito was my favorite. You can taste everything you're eating, and I think this simplicity lends itself very well to dishes that center good corn and herbs. We basically lick our plates and our server asks if we want dessert and my date says no. Red flag I know. He didn't know that I decided we were having dessert like 45 minutes ago when I watched a few cheeky sweets go to a table behind him. I order myself a flan and cafe de olla. I will not share. The cafe tastes like sitting at the kitchen table with whichever guru you love the most. The flan was adorned with strawberries and my date's spoon, and of course when I ask what his favorite thing was he says the flan he politely declined at first. Later he says something about sometimes the thing you don't want is the thing you need. So true.
