    We came on dollar taco night and waited about an hour. The tacos arrive pretty quickly and the service is good. Delicious for $1 each, but I would not want to pay the full $3-4. My favorite ones were the gabacho and al pastor tacos. Be sure to double check your bill to make sure you aren't charged incorrectly!

    $1 tacos on Dolly Tocky night!!
    Jenny J.

    My friends and I have been waiting to try out their $1 tacos and finally on Thursday we were all free. Loco Pez announces their weekly Dolly Tocky night on their Instagram: $1 tacos 5 PM later All of their locations (there's 3) and dine in only We tried their fishtown location but it was so busy and had 1.5 hour wait at 8:30 PM. We called the graduate hospital location and they said they don't think they would be able to seat us before the night was over. We decided to make the trek to the Baltimore Ave location and we had an hour wait til we found some seats at the bar. We decided to drink our sorrows away with the guava margarita pitcher. The drinks were great and strong! 2 was more than what I needed for the night haha This venue is a bit small but cute inside. There were many people standing while waiting especially since it was karaoke night! I felt like we were in the way at times. The hostess told us we might get seated at a table due to the wait time - we got there at 9 and they close at 11. We got alerted a table was available at 10:30 PM but we already had seats at the bar by then. The tacos aren't the best but who can complain for $1! The wait time wasn't long for the food or drinks, the bartender was great. I would definitely come back but way earlier to get seated sooner.

    Quick happy hour here never disappoints. The food is fresh, comes and quick and taste great. The service is pleasant from the greeter to the waitress. It's a bit noisy at happy hour but that's expected. Get the nachos if you go they are great

    I found this place after reading an article titled, The Best Restaurants In West Philly. I'm glad I checked this place out. The surrounding areas of the restaurant is gorgeous, the entrance is cute! I walked inside and I was greeted immediately, the space, decor and bar setting was great! I spent the afternoon here and felt at peace. The bartender was engaging, the music selection was spot on and others around me were engaged in great conversation. The Queso wasn't my favorite, I felt as though it was too thin and watery to my liking; but it was still good, really good! I'll be back, I like this location and I understand there are multiple. I recommend giving this place a try!

    Happy hour nachos with ground beef ($10)

    This is an interesting spot. I came here hoping for $1 tacos, but apparently the $1 taco day is randomly announced on Instagram. But luckily we were there for happy hour. There are a few tequilas on happy hour for $6 and nachos for $6. You can add meat for $4. The nachos and margaritas were pretty good. I wish they had a happy hour menu. This place is LGBTQ friendly. I'm not sure if I'll be returning. I'm not into mad dashes for $1 tacos. Sorry about the half eaten nachos.

    I've frequented Loco Pez for happy hour over the years ever since this location opened up. Pros - solid happy hour deals, half off drafts, half off margaritas, and sometimes you'll get lucky with $2 taco days that are random/announced via social media. Decent food for the price during happy hour Cons - inconsistent, sometimes very slow and miserable service. Food can be hit or miss, but tacos and nachos pretty consistent Service wise, it really depends but we generally prepare for the worst. There's one lady that works/used to work the bar who is absolutely the slowest and so miserable to deal with, she never smiles and genuinely looks miserable her entire shift. There is another female server that has been there for years, and she is always quick as she can when it's busy, fast service and friendly. Our last visit on Friday was the best service we've received in a while from the male bartender! Overall, I recommend Loco Pez for cheap solid tacos and nachos on happy hour. I've never been outside of happy hour so can't comment outside of that!

    Mushroom Quesadillas with a side of Guac
    Kelli K.

    I used to live in this neighborhood so I've been to Loco Pez a lot. The drinks can be really good but are also inconsistent in taste. I'm a fan of the Chevelle - sometimes it comes out perfect and other times it's too sweet and hardly spicy at all. Really depends on who is making your drink here, so that can be disappointing. As for the food, it's not great. My dining companion got a Carne Asada taco and an Al Pastor taco. The Carne Asada was shredded, not chunks of steak. Maybe they brought out the Carnitas instead? The Al Pastor was not good quality and had a bad aftertaste. I am a huge mushroom fan so I was excited to get the mushroom quesadillas. Unfortunately there was a lot of corn in it even though corn is not in the description on the menu. I was not a fan and wish I was mushroom only like what I wanted when I ordered it. We did not get the nachos this latest trip, but I have in the past and the nachos with mushrooms are tasty! I'd stick to nachos and drinks if I come back again. It's so loud if you get seated inside. It's also freezing in there! But the outside tables are really cute if you can snag one. The waitstaff are always really busy so the service can be slow and you might have to flag your server down quite a few times. Overall, Loco Pez on Baltimore is a fine spot if you're in the neighborhood but I wouldn't seek it out and there are much better places to get your Mexican and marg fix in Philly.

    Dollar Tacos
    Hannah M.

    The best $1 tacos in the city! If you follow the IG page, they annouce $1 tacos the day off every week, it's always a fun vibe inside, they do karaoke on Wednesdays and the employees always are super kind and helpful!

    Smash burger
    Christian C.

    Average food for the price. Ordered the smash burger as suggested by the waitress and it wasn't too bad but nothing special. Waffle fries were actually good. Happy hour nachos are a good deal ($6) for the portion size.

    Tried the West Philly location after having a great experience at the Graduate Hospital location and I thought this one was so much better!!!!! The outdoor seating is more limited at Graduate Hospital, definitely more spacious and seating at the West Philly location. $1 tacos were quality and our waitress was so nice. Everyone who served our table was very attentive and friendly. Definitely will be coming back here and especially for dollar tocky night!!!!!!!!

    I can't believe I am giving Cantina La Martina a ONE star review! I couldn't even muster a 2 given…read morewhat they gave me to eat tonight. I ordered the carnitas tacos and churros. The meat in the tacos was so dry that it was hard to chew and swallow. Some of the pieces were cooked to a crisp. No amount of salsa could make them better. I'm sorry I didn't take photos of the tacos, but trust me me I get no pleasure from leaving a bad review for this place; I am not lying or exaggerating. I thought they were going to be one of our local gems. I choked down a half a taco, gave the rest to my husband and he couldn't eat them either. The churros actually had raw batter in the middle and the outside was rubbery and hard at the same time. You could barely bite through it. I'm a cook and I know that that is about keeping the oil at an even temperature to get the inside done and not overcook the outside. Someone in the kitchen did not know what they were doing. The thing is, I have had their food before and it was pretty good. I don't know if there is a new chef or what happened, but I can't trust them after this experience.

Good: old fashioned, tri-mix of guac (liked the truffle one), steak tacos. Not so good:coco tartare app, I thought most of the other tacos were tried were very okay for the price and would not recommend (shrimp, pastor (one of my least favorite versions of pastor), one with habaenro (not spicy at all). Would have enjoyed some actual spicy salsa to go with it. Overall, I sadly can't really recommend it.

    Honestly El Rey is great!…read more As a Los Angeles native, Mexican food is always a "not as good as California" affair, and with that bar, it's hard to find anything that holds a candle. But El Rey is good in its own right, taking familiar foods and flavors, with a bit of a fancier twist, and making a good meal that I love to eat and enjoy! Seating and service here is friendly and prompt. Even when it's pretty loud and seems packed, there are always a handful of open tables available, where we've usually been able to be seated almost immediately. Such was the case this evening. We were on a bit of a time crunch so we ordered immediately and our food came out so fast that the waiter for our table was surprised as the food beat him with our napkins to the table. We ordered the Tuna Tostada and the Yucatan Spiced Chicken Fajitas. Both were amazing! Good thing for our tight timeline, the food was gone as fast as it came. The waiter helpfully recommend the house hot sauce, which was certainly spicy and a good compliment on our fajitas. Overall, a great place to dine for Mexican-inspired! Laying aside my California bias, El Rey is a fun time every time we come.

    Valentine's Day magic at El Rey? Say less. The steak tacos…read morechanged my life -- and I stand by that. I hadn't been to El Rey in years, but we scored last-minute Valentine's reservations and WOW. The vibe was lively, warm, and perfect for a fun night out. - Let's talk about these STEAK TACOS . Perfectly seasoned, tender, flavorful -- the kind of bite that makes you close your eyes for a second. They were so good I came back two days later just for them. That's not a craving... that's infatuation. - The Chayote Salad completely surprised me. Fresh, bright, and paired with their homemade hot sauce? My palate was awakened. I even brought it home (with dressing and hot sauce on the side) and it still hit! Speaking of heat -- if you love spicy food, ASK for their homemade hot sauce. It's bold, fiery, and addictive. I genuinely want a bottle for home. Service? 10/10. From the manager to the hosts to the bartender -- everyone was kind, attentive, and patient. They even remembered me from Valentine's Day, which says everything about how they treat their guests. Bathroom Check: Clean? Yes. Cute ambiance? Yes. Great mirror for photos? Absolutely. And again -- CLEAN. El Rey, I'll be back soon

    As a native Californian, I was missing good Mexican food and saw this place was walking distance…read morefrom my front door. I headed over and was greeted warmly by the hostess/waitress Gemma. There were booths, tables and bar seating available with Wonder Years playing on a few TVs with warm lighting and the incandescent Christmas lights that are reminiscent of Grandma's house (bonus points for nostalgia!) I requested a booth and she promptly sat me. She brought me water, menus and explained the specials to me. As I perused the menu, I was overwhelmed with the options available to me. I ultimately landed on one of the dinner specials (Cabernet braised brisket with a side of carrots & buttery mashed potatoes), chips & salsa and a Paloma. Chips landed first and while both salsas were fresh, I still felt the need to add salt. (Everyone's palate is different) Food & drink arrived simultaneously. Paloma was made strong but tasted more like a classic margarita as opposed to the tang of grapefruit that comes with a Paloma. Still good! The food was essentially cold & looked like it had been sitting for awhile being served to me but all the flavors were there. The brisket fell apart, I didn't even need a knife to cut it. The carrots were tender and the mashed potatoes were buttery. I would 1000% go back for the drinks and service, however I may get something different on the menu.
