I ordered an al pastor and it was pretty good and quite filling (ate about 2/3 and was full!). Not as good as some of the burrito places I've been to in California but still yummy.

I mean $10 for 3 tacos + a side of rice/beans and $11 nachos WITH guac AND steak is pretty unheard of. Shaving some points for there not being enough steak on the nachos to go around - mostly because it was tender and oh so good.

Drinks: tried the regular margaritas, pink Cadillac and pomegranate. Fave was the pink Cadillac with a Tajin rim. Service: Server was amazing! I wish I could remember her name but she was simply a breath of fresh air. Ambiance: dim light and vibes. The bathroom is downstairs and separate from where you wash your hands. There's a wall full of photos too which was super cute.

One of my favorite Mexican themed restaurants in Philly…read more It can get a little loud and kinda clubby at night. I like going during happy hour times - they don't have happy hour deals though. I love the assorted guacamole options. The fajitas are a goto option for my wife and me. But most of the mains are really good. Prices are reasonable. Drinks - I think the margaritas are good. Kinda the standard prices. It's a good Starr restaurant. And you'll have a great meal.

My son brought me here on Mother's Day, and only one of the kids had Mexican food. She was…read moredisappointed with the nachos from the kids menu as they were only topped with cheese and the place they usually go serves them loaded, but that'w what I fix at home and the cheese was good. Older grandson had wings, and they were so spicy that he kept running out of water and we had to ask for more water a couple times. I had a combo with a cheese enchilada, which was good but surprising because it was topped with seasoning instead of sauce, and a chimichanga which was very good. Middle grandkids shared a chicken basket. I'm somewhat mobility impaired and the choice of seating was the patio, which is all high-tops, which don't work for me, or upstairs and there was no elevator. I did climb the stairs, but it's a slow process, so beware if that will be an issue for you.

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!

The Good, the Bad, the ok and the Ugly. Good: came on a…read morebusy Saturday night and were sat right away in our choice of an outdoor table. 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.

But everything else was amazing. We got a bunch of orders of Queso Birria I think one of my favorite in the city, sopes, and lots of tacos. Perfect night out

So my date arrives to the SRT kind of late but not really, he just seems late because I'm already…read moretoo hungry to hang on the trail any longer. 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.
