Dollar taco night is the GOAT. The tacos were a little dry, but honestly everything else made up for it and the experience was great overall. Our waitress, Hannah M., was superb- super friendly and very attentive despite how busy it was. The place definitely gets packed, but the staff handled it really well and service didn't slip. The vibes were great, I loved the interior, and the margaritas were delicious, though there was a lot of ice, so we probably got about four pours out of one pitcher (idk how worth it) Still, a fun night all around, and next time we're coming back to conquer the 20-taco challenge read more

Great happy hour! Usually the happy hour versions of apps are quite small but these 6 dollar happy hour nachos were great and filling! Then we had the quesabirria tacos with GREAT flavor and the chicken tinga taco and carne asada taco.

This place is so big. It has 2 bars (one on the top floor and the other downstairs). The place was packed for dollar tacos. We ended up getting all the tacos they had. The bar we sat at had a bucket of sauces so it was nice to have options from Tabasco to green cilantro sauces. The best tacos were the pez (it was basically a fried Mahi Mahi with tomatoes and some sour cream) and the gabacho taco which was a hard shell taco with ground beef, lettuce, cheese. The Al pastor and chorizo/potatoes were really good tacos as well. For dessert, we had the tres leches. I really liked how it was fluffy and the milky sauce involved with this dish. I also liked how it was loaded with pineapples. read more

Tacos and tequila really are the perfect pair, and this spot really delivered! We were in the area and needed a fix so we stopped here. My friend had been to a different location but it was both our first time to this one. The margaritas ($8, and not happy hour?!) were delicious. I ordered the mushroom, carne asada and al pastor tacos. I will definitely be back here the next time I do a Philly visit! read more

I was walking and found this place and decided to stop in. I sat outside and the view and the weather was great. The service was okay with a little wait before the waitress came. I chose to have a couple shrimp tacos and added a side of beans and rice. The sides portions were big and I could not eat them all. I liked the beans but the rice was just okay. The food I had was mediocre lacking seasoning and did not compare to my favorite local Mexican restaurant. I had a strawberry margarita and that was okay. read more

I went to Loco Pez for Dollar Taco Night. The staff were so nice and patient. We had a large party, so they set up us in a half circular booth and brought over an extra table and chairs. We got through early and put in our order quickly, so the tacos also came out quickly; however, even when we placed additional orders after, the tacos didn't take unreasonably long to come out. The table had several different salsas/hot sauces. I tried all of the non-vegetarian tacos and especially enjoyed the camarones and al pastor. Can't wait to eat here again! read more

My 1st time at Loco Pez. When I first walked in I thought the place was really small! But then I was asked if I wanted to be seated upstairs. The upstairs section had another bar and TV's ( I was able to watch a baseball game). I ordered the house margarita ( no complaints), nachos ( they were okay), chicken taco ( pretty good). Our waitress was attentive. They have outside seating that I am Sure is popular during the spring/summer months. read more

You can't get a better deal than dolly taco night!! There was a long wait when we got there (5:40pm), but bar seating was first come first serve so we did that. The food came out quickly after ordering. On to the food: I felt that most of the tacos were very flavorful. My favorite was the Al Pastor because the slight sweetness from the pineapple on top complemented the saltiness of the meat perfectly. The carne asada and carnitas teetered on the edge of being dry, but they still had flavor infused into the meat. The pollo tinga was a nice surprise for me - I thought this was juicy and seasoned well. Camerones and pez were both fried to perfection and not heavy at all (I ordered without the crema though). There were variable sizes of pez, so some tacos had little meat while others had more. I'd personally get the Camerones over pez. The chorizo and potato was forgettable, nothing to write home about. Unfortunately, the veggie options were slacking in the flavor department compared to the meats. Soy chorizo tasted exactly like the soy chorizo from Trader Joe's; seitan adobo had nice texture; mushroom had no flavor and was mushy. read more

I love the ambiance, it's got a cool 70's vibe to it! The food was honestly Pretty good because I heard this place is hit or miss. I tried steak tacos and birria which were great, got some guac and pico, the only thing I wasn't a huge fan of was the shrimp tacos, just wasn't anything to rave about. The service was excellent!!! read more

ITS A MUST to come and try their dollar taco nights!!!! I believe they post on their Instagram once a week on a random week day, the day that they're doing dollar tacos (on the day of). So you won't get to know which day they're doing $1 tacos, but if you're able to secure a spot at the restaurant for this special, please do!!! Went with some family a couple days ago and it was so wonderful and delicious. Our server was very kind and attentive and we did tip her a bit extra just because we could see her running around during this rush hour, it was a bit hectic on the restaurant's side of things, so I do appreciate everything they do during these crazy times!! We were seated outside and the graduate hospital location is very nice and in a nice neighborhood with nice vibes. Definitely want to try out the other locations especially for another dollar taco night. 10/10 recommend! read more

Dollar taco night is the best deal in all of philly. Authentic, tasty tacos and a great environment. Relatively seamless seating if you get there with time. Love! read more

Pretty good taco spot in Graduate Hospital. I came here for dollar tacos night, which is on one weekday per week after 5 PM (revealed on their Instagram page). I got the fried shrimp, fried fish, chorizo, carne asada, and al pastor. The fried fish and fried shrimp have a nice crunchy texture with white sauce, and the al pastor is super flavorful. The other tacos (chorizo, pollo tinga, carne asada) are pretty average in terms of flavor. Each table has plenty of diverse salsas to choose from. Quick and friendly service. Seating for groups up to four people can take up to an hour on dollar taco night (highly recommend showing up 5pm sharp). Lots of seating on the ground and second floors. read more

absolutely in love with dollar taco night! i am obsessively checking the instagram every single week, and you bet i will be back again! i've been raving about dolly tocky to my friends ever since the first time i went, and i was finally able to go again yesterday! we showed up early this time at 4:55p and beat the crowd, no wait at all and just in time for dollar taco AND happy hour. this visit, our server did let us know that it was both dollar taco and happy hour. lizzie was the absolute sweetest! we destroyed 7-8 tacos each and had a few margs as well. the margs were very strong, which was exactly what we wanted. we were seated on the first floor this time, at a very cute high top table. the chairs were comfortable enough, albeit very hard to get onto. i still can't get over how good of a deal dolly tocky is! read more

Ambience is simple and quiet, which I like. My husband had a spicy margarita as his drink & he said it was impressive. As for food--we remained unsure if we want to come back for it. Chicken enchiladas were amazing, birria beef tacos were just okay, & shrimp quesadillas was just not--not good at all. It didn't look or taste like one. We did like its tres leches cake! I don't think we'll drive out of our way for the food but may stop by for a drink if in neighborhood. read more

Loco Pez is quickly becoming a new favorite of mine! The food is great (highly recommend getting the nachos-definitely shareable) and the drinks are delicious! Everything was served very quickly after ordering. Indoor and outdoor seating is available and they do take reservations. The prices are pretty reasonable and I've never had a bad meal here. Definitely worth my trek into grad hospital! read more

Loco Pez NEVER disappoints. The staff is always great, the nachos are always poppin', the drinks are always tasty. In my numerous visits to all their locations, I've never ever left Loco Pez unhappy. The key to a successful visit to Loco Pez is mid-week happy hour. Half-off nachos (the best in the city, and the best in the universe) which in and of itself should be enough to draw you in. They're vegetarian by nature (I think? Might need to ask about the refried beans.) - but you can add a large scoop of guac or some protein of choice if you wish. The nachos are meant to share - I usually order my own and make it my dinner. 15/10. Their margaritas and beers are always a hit, too. Happy hour is 5-7. Includes drink and food specials. If you're looking for a good time and a full belly, there's no where better than Loco Pez. read more

Loco Pez - chicken bowl - Mexican Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Holy freakin wow Loco Pez goes Loco on my taste buds. This place is fergidelicious - it pulls out all the stops being the most delightful mexican experience. In you walk to this dive bar just looks like the perfect dimly lit gem that you have ever seen. the table got the nachos and boy oh boy did the table like the nachos oh my goodness it was so delicious and then you finish the nachos and BOOM the table shakes as they drop the most meaty packed burrito of all time in front of me. the Flavor profile explodes into your mouth with all the mexican goodness that you could ever desire striking all the traditional flavor tones. Man oh man was this good. Me lady got vegetarian bowl and again it shook the table with it's contents when it hit the table because it was absolutely overflowing with delicious flavor profiles. Only downside was there was no Mexican Coke AKA the best Coke known to man but I can't even dock it a star for that because of supply chain and that this was simply a 5 star experience in every sense of the way. read more

After a long hiatus from visiting Loco Pez, a friend alerted me to the fact that it was Dollar Taco night and I decided that there was no time like the present for some redemption tacos. Dollar Taco night was announced on their instagram, and started at 5 PM and went until closing. In addition to the fact that they had tacos for a dollar, there were also happy hour specials from 5-7 PM. We arrived at 6 PM and the place was packed. This was my first time attempting to dine inside and I realized they have an upstairs seating area. Since the place was packed with eager dollar taco diners, we decided to grab the two remaining seats at the bar. The place has very hip decor and is dimly lit. We ordered drinks and some tacos (obviously), and we decided to split nachos, since they're half off for happy hour. Our service was way more attentive that I've ever experienced in the past. The food came out pretty quickly and everything tasted as delicious as I had remembered. I'm glad I decided to come back, and think that I'll keep Loco Pez on my list of 5-star happy hour spots. The outdoor seating and service that comes with it will remain in the 3-star realm at best... and I'm not sure that I'll be able to give that another chance. read more

I've only been to this Loco Pez location once, but I am a big fan. It was a pretty tame Sunday afternoon and we opted to sit at the bar. Service and margs were on point, and additional kudos for a great playlist and laid back atmosphere. I was super grateful to the bartender who helped me actualize my chemist/mixologist dreams by pouring us 'lil cups of their flavor purees so we could spice up our pitcher at will. I loved the passionfruit and hibiscus combo, but the blood orange was also a big win. I think this would be an ideal first date spot or casual neighborhood hang with friends. They have a great happy hour and I'll have to update my review once I try more of their menu, but I can see this being in the regular rotation. Great tequila and mezcal list for enthusiasts, and I look forward to trying their other two locations as well. read more

Im not sure what changed, but the food and cocktails at Loco Pez have gotten SOOOO much better. I literally look forward to frequently dining in. read more

If I was going to rate every Loco Pez from worst to best it would go like this: West Philly Fishtown And top of the pile South Philly I already loved loco Pez Fishtown but this one is even better. It's not all cash. It's really big. There's 2 floors with tons of space. I even think the food is somehow better. The only thing it wasn't better at was service. That I think had to do with only one person covering the whole upstairs. So that person was responsible for taking orders and making drinks. Maybe it's not normally that busy on a Tuesday and they weren't expecting it? I don't know when this opened but I'm sorry I'm just finding out about it tonight. Next time I'm down south I'm going to suggest it. read more

Loved our server Bella she was very sweet and attentive. Food was super good too for 1$ taco night!

I came to Philadelphia to visit an old friend and we decided on Loco Pez for lunch before I caught my train home. My friend Sarah comes to this place just about every week, and I was so excited to see what it's all about. This place is amazing! We got there for brunch and they had so many awesome options, the waiter was very kind and he even made sure we could order the special and the kitchen made it fresh for us. The food was spectacular, the bar was one of the cutest I've seen, and it was a wonderful experience. I'll definitely be back next time I come to Philly! read more

Ordered a meat burrito. I got a $12 burrito full of beans. It's sad they don't fulfill what they promise.

Went to LP today for drinks - our server got pissed the second we said we were just ordering drinks and not food (at 3 pm), never returned and passed us off to another server after ignoring us for an hour. The tall, skinny woman with a claw clip in her hair was truly rude today and honestly I question whether anyone in management cares about their shitty service. After coming here for 6 years, I can confirm this was the worst server we have encountered. read more

This place is a solid place for tacos. I went to the fishtown one before the grad hospital one and food was a standard good at both places. I think their seafood based tacos (I tried the Fish and the shrimp) are generally better than their meat based ones (I had their Al pastor and carne). The service is on the bad side because they're so busy. I love their daily happy hours from 5-7, but I love their one dollar taco nights even more. They'll announce one dollar taco nights on their Instagram randomly once a week and it's from 5pm-close. But just make sure you get there super early like (4:50 or something) because otherwise there will be a super duper long wait (like 90 plus minutes). Overall I would say it's a safe bet for tacos, but personally I would not go there unless it was for their one dollar taco nights because their regular menu prices are a lot more expensive (~4.50 per taco that's on the smaller side) read more

I stopped by after reading they have a great happy hour online. Unfortunately the days of $20 marg pitchers and $4 margs have gone away :( Their happy hour deal is now $6 house margs and 1/2 price nachos which is still great just not as good as before. We sat outside because it was a gorgeous Friday afternoon. They have ample seating and it's a great vibe when the weather is nice. The only downside (like other reviews have mentioned) is the service isn't as attentive. There was even a couple behind us that left after not being waited on after 15 minutes. If you can get past the slower service, the margs and food were great. The nachos were so yummy and I actually cannot remember better nachos I've had recently. They had tons of toppings and some great pickled onions. The margs were pretty standard but still refreshing and a little on the stronger side which I can always appreciate Definitely consider stopping by for happy hour, I hope to be back to try more of their food. Hopefully it's just as good or better than the nachos!! read more

Loco Pez is a nice addition to the area since it's a recent opening in October 2019. From the outside the building looks rather unassuming but the inside is very spacious with the restaurant located on two floors. Tip: Cash only restaurant. There is an ATM inside. The restaurant has an overall retro feel. The upstairs, in fact, it was reminiscent of your grandmothers living room. With older style wallpaper and photographs along with classic old time refrigerators. We were here for happy hour and sat at the upstairs bar. The service was very friendly and our food came out quickly. We ordered the nachos off the happy hour menu which for $5 is a great deal. There were a lot of nachos, however, I felt the toppings were lacking. We also ordered a couple of tacos (al pastor, carne asada, and seitan and spinach). My husband enjoyed the al pastor and the carne asada. The seitan was extremely salty. read more

This might be one of my new favorite happy hour spots that I recently found. They offer it during the week and on the weekend.

This is for the Loco Pez in West Philly on Baltimore. I signed up here on yelp just to let people know. Unfortunately, I took my friend out for her birthday to this Loco Pez last week, because Thursdays are karaoke night and she has an amazing voice and it was nearby. After spending $140 on drinks and food and waiting over an hour, she went up to the DJ to ask when the karaoke song she'd requested would be played. He asked for $20 to put her song on the queue, otherwise he said, we'd have to wait another 45 min. I went to the bar to ask if they could charge my card $20 and give me the cash so I could pay him, since we'd already been waiting an hour and it was her birthday. The bartenders said they were too busy and recommended I go across the street to an ATM. The DJ came over and said he could scan my credit card for the $20, but then instead of a scanner he asked for my CC number and date and CVV so I was like, no, I'm not giving that out. So I walk across the street and take out $20 from another bar's ATM. Come back and then give him the cash so he will finally play my friend's song next. By that point we are all really annoyed and I ask him when the second song she requested will be played and he was like, probably at the end of the night unless we want to "tip" him again. By then I was like, let's get out of here. We wanted a fun night of singing for her birthday and had already spent over $100 there, but weren't going to waste anymore time with this. Just be warned, if you were planning to go for a fun karaoke night, go somewhere else!! You'll be there for hours unless you have cash ready to give the DJ to play your songs in any kind of timely way. read more

Great place for a dinner on a week night. The food was all so good ($6 nachos too). The burrito bowl was delicious. The music they were playing was so awesome. Margs were OK, but were only $6. Loved it! read more

I was very excited to try Loco Pez. There are a few other locations in Philly, but none super close to me so I never bothered to ventured out to them. Now that one has opened up in my neighborhood I don't have an excuse not to get my taco fix. We excitedly ordered five tacos for each of us. All different types of meat. Sadly they were all not great. These were the most okay tacos I've ever had. The nachos were cheap because of happy hour but they were very okay as well. Mostly nachos, not much good stuff/toppings. The service was okay. Food came out quick. The place is cool inside. I'd come back in for happy hour to grab a marg and a snack before dinner but I won't come back again for a full meal. I'd rather "Live Mas" at Taco Bell. Oh yeah I forgot until just now. They only accept cash, this is not how you should treat your amigos in 2019!!! read more
