Food pretty good, nachos great... super cute kitsch decor but def room for improvement. I ordered a burrito with Carne Asada , when the waitress came at the end, I said it was tasty, but I ordered Carne Asada and this was shredded beef. She said oh that is our "Carne Asada", I said mmmmkay, they are very different cuts / styles of meat & Preparation. Strange. My friend got the nachos, which were really good and huge Surprised the Bill add an extra tip for the cooks ?! Not optional. Sorry, Pay them more - I shouldn't be forced to tip everyone that works there ! read more

Awesome casual restaurant. Went for lunch and sat outside. staff was attentive and friendly, bringing us more chips (they are so good) without us asking. Ordered the taco salad and had a fair amount of alterations which they did correctly. Got drinks and tacos too.Nothing was too spicy, would've liked a little more heat, but all the flavors were great. Only note is the carne asada is actual carnitas. They should change the name of that read more

Great weather to sit outdoors! Since my daughter lives in the area we were able to walk to Loco Pez. Our server I believe her name was Lauren with glasses such a sweetheart. Great service she gave always checking up on us ask for her. I just hope I have her name correct. We went for drinks and dip and chips. Party of three, ordered the Loco queso dip, with chips, the queso was great but let just say that they had a Pineapple margaritas boy! Did I enjoyed so much that I had to have another one, also a mango margaritas very good as well! read more

Cool vibes going in, really liked their insta page and when $1 tacos popped up i knew i had to go. Salsa trio was great and love the chips but sadly that was the best part. I understand dollar tacos arnt supposed to blow you away but the tacos are wrong. The carne asada taco was not steak, it was more like a braised meat like barbacoa. Same with the pastor, it was like pulled pork. Pretty disappointing. The street dog was too pungent, i think too much mustard or jalepenos but had strong potential as someone from Arizona who are known for the sonoran dog. I just wish they would label their tacos right read more

Went to today for an afternoon lunch. I've been craving tacos for a while and needed something to soak up last nights festivities *wink*. I'm a sucker for a burrito bowl so I got the camarones burrito bowl and a pollo Tinga taco. The taco was delish and I WILL return during the week for the dollar tacos. It was a good day for parking, no wait and very chill, service was good. I will be returning soon. read more

A great city corner eatery. Has the feel of a Mexican style pub. Stopped in for lunch and immediately felt great vibes, staff was great, and old school place. Would love to bring the wife back for happy hour, weekend plans. Nachos were good and filling. I only wished I lived in the 'hood so I could be a regular. read more

This restaurant is a vibe!! I love the mashup between retro eatery / Mexican restaurant with quirky decor. The staff was friendly and the food was reasonably priced and very delicious. I ordered quesabirria and my husband ordered some tacos. I also had passion fruit mezcal marg that was out of this world!! My only complaint was the area we sat in smelled of sewage. read more

Came here on a Friday afternoon during the summer for some food and drinks. The bar has really upbeat and entertaining bartenders and a few patrons ready to start their weekend. The space was energizing. Upon entering it was dimly lit as any traditional bar ambiance. We sat at the bar and ordered traditional margaritas. They were tasty, if I remembered correctly they offered cool flavors as well, so my second drink was a fruit flavor. Ordered some tacos which were okay and with that I also started my weekend off right and absorbed the energized vibe from this establishment. read more

If only this place was in every city... we got lucky enough to go on $1 taco night! Now the marg pitcher was more expensive and you do pay for chips and salsa (more of a chunky tomato) the tacos are fabulous! Its like an old dive bar but with hip music! We got to sit outside and the wait was not bad at all i think they told us 45 minutes and it ended up being 10. The staff are super kind and attentive. I got the mushroom and carnitas taco. These were amazing! If you are a vegetarian get the mushroom!! Sooooo good. My husband and friend got 8 tacos each since they arent too big they were able to finish them all... cant say one was better than the other. This place is worth every $1 spent!! read more

Went for happy hour and the deals were pretty decent! We got the machos that were HUGE! So so yummy. However, we did not like the seitan quesadilla and could not even finish it. Our server was kind, but seemed to be overworked with the amount of tables she had. The music kept making us laugh, I think they need to get a better aux system because they kept skipping each others songs and switching up the genre. read more

First time visiting this little gem in the hood with outdoor seating that is perfect for summer days! The staff is very friendly and attentive. The food was great and a lot for the price of it. Ended the meal with Tres Leche which was delicious too. Overall great place and I will come back for their drink menu! read more

Overall I like this place, but feel it's a bit overhyped for what it is. The food is good but not great IMO and it's usually pretty crowded so you'll have a little longer waits than some other neighborhood spots. Really yummy drinks though! read more

Omggg love this place! Finally found my favorite Mexican in the city. Elote wings are a MUST order. I've gotten the enchiladas twice and both times were excellent. My friends got the tacos and they said that the Al pastor was their favorite. Staff is always friendly and attentive. read more

Loco Pez was our default takeout on Friday all during Lockdown. They helped us keep going, we should do the same. Always tip the carryout people, they work hard to handle lotsa orders and all the delivery drivers. It's street style tacos, very stripped down, very functional, and very good. Chicken tinga is damn good. Burritos are not Mission Style (if you know, you know). Bowls are not where it's at. The take on American food is great. The Gabacho taco (spelling) is an upjumped hard taco supreme and it punches the right buttons, have a few. Staff is quick, efficient, and it's a decent place to grab a good dinner with friends. Fishtown is richer for them holding on. read more

food is okay, service is beyond horrible. Bartender (2nd time now) gave no greeting or response when ordering - never actually spoke. Wouldn't spend money here if you expect to be treated as if you were a guest. If you'd like to feel disdain from your server, come on down! read more

(to the tune of "Flowers" by Miley Cyrus) When it's hot... when it's cold... Need some Mexican, I'm SOLD! Tastes so right, day or night Loco Pez is out of sight... Mmmm I don't wanna leave here, I don't wanna lie, Started to cry but then remembered I... I can buy dollar tacos Burger's tasting so gooooood, Margaritas, all flavors! Never been? Well you should. I find myself sometimes dancing When a fork's in my hand. Yeah, this place makes Mexican and margs better than you cannnnn Loco Pez: I love you. You saw us through the roughest days of isolation. Your burgers and tacos ALWAYS hit the spot. You've got something for everyone in the family, from the picky eaters to the vegetarians to the carnivores and boozehounds! I love following on IG to see when Dollar Tacos will popup, but even at full price this spot is reasonable. We mostly do takeout now that we have a little one, but it's convenient and the staff is friendly and sometimes they give my dog a little chip when I have to bring her in! read more

This was one of those: let's-see-what's-in-the-area-and-has-good-reviews kind of stop. The place looked promising; we all love tacos; found street parking pretty much outside - as if it was all meant to be! The stars aligned!! Walked in, and I'm thinking: ok, I dig this. A little bit punky, grungy, definitely dive-y. The current tune was some death metal stuff - loud, but perhaps the next tune will be a tad more down to earth. All booths are taken. We are ushered to a high top table by the bar. It's fine but it's so loud... We are 4 in our party. We order. The waitress is cool. Variety of fish, veggie and meats tacos - it's a quick lunch. Next song: even worse - more "deathly dark" metal. Food comes relatively fast. My fish tacos are disgusting. The fish looks boiled. Not bRoiled, boiled. Really chunky, awkward fish pieces that kept falling out of the really soggy tortillas. There's no taste to any of it. The fish is plain, completely unseasoned. Ok, enough with the "heavy death" metal track already! I pick at my tacos with a six-foot pole... not feeling it. Husband and dad are not complaining, but also not saying that it was very good. I hear the word "almost mediocre" from the husband. We tend to agree, but in this case, my fish tacos swayed the pendulum from a 2-3 to a 1 star. The death metal never stopped. I left with a headache. read more

Loco Pez is about a 5 min walk from our place so why wouldn't we check it out. We went for some light food and drinks. Got the Elote Wings and the nachos. The wings were unlike anything else. I like Elote but this was a whole new level. I will be going back solely for the wings. The nachos on the other hand were nothing special. They did the job but have had better nachos. Maybe too much cheese that it really didn't melt down nicely. The pollo tinga was what we added as a protein and it had really nice flavor. If I hadn't gotten the nachos and had the pollo tinga in something else, it would have be a great meal. We got the margarita since it was happy hour and it was nice. Def had enough alcohol but still smooth to drink. read more

I love this place. When they have the outside seating set up it's even better. Food and service are great. I've tried a lot of stuff here. The seitan burrito and the soy chorizo tacos are the stand outs. However I've never had anything I didn't like. My only gripes are cash only and it feels like a trailer home. Cramped and the walls are closing in. So grab a jarritos and let's go! read more

Love this little local eatery! Always buzzing with people and the wait staff there are great. Delicious drinks and food too.

Food was just ok here. We got a mix of burrito bowls, some tacos, salsa and guac. Salsa was so mid, it was literally pico de gallo. I was so disappointed. Guac was really good though. The bowls and tacos were really just ok. I liked the fish taco (but we were told it's very hit or miss). If you want a real taco, go to south Philly. This felt like an expensive, mediocre, white-washed version of Mexican food. The one shining star was our waitress, she was so sweet and fun to talk to. Didn't get her name but loved her. read more

Love this place! Totally casual with great tunes and odd shows and/or movies on the TV. Nat is a great bartender who's ready to lend an ear and makes great cocktails! The Fairlane is my favorite with pineapple. My husband always gets a skinny. Great specials like the picture of the Queso Mac n cheese. Their wings and chicken sandwiches are to die for, and they typically have food specials starting at 5 PM every night. If you're not in the mood for gringo food, they have wonderful burritos, quesadillas, tacos, etc. The chips and pico are phenomenal, always made fresh! Don't forget to ask for their trio of salsa. The one thing you shouldn't bother asking for is a frozen margarita because they may throw you out, lol. They have a large bar area or you can sit in the actual restaurant itself. We typically can find street parking without issue, but there is no parking lot at this location in Fishtown. read more

Amazing food and amazing vibes! Everything on the menu is worth a try! I especially enjoyed the nachos, the tacos, and the desserts! They offer a variety of yummy apps and drinks! Be on the look out for $1 taco night and get there early because it's always a hit or miss on indoor dining, but well worth the wait! read more

terrible service the tall bearded bartender ignored us for 30 minutes at the bar and then rudely asked "what do we want" and walked away halfway through our order read more

First of all the staff here is super nice! The hostess was understanding and helpful with my 81 year old mom who has trouble walking. Our server was really sweet and again didn't mind explain each taco to my mom. The food runner and other staff were also friendly. The food is also A-Mazing! We started with the chips, salsa and guacamole. The pico and guacamole were flavorful. The chips were nice and crispy. We pretty much devoured them! The tacos were sooo good. The tortillas are small have lots of filling. The carne asada was my fav! The Al pastor was also very good. I would've tried the Pez taco with tilapia but it only came with fried fish. The margaritas were also so good. The classic was well classic with just enough lime juice. The Fairlane has pineapple infused tequila and guava. It was a unique flavor combo and delicious! Note: salt rim has to be requested. The decor is cool with a retro vibe. Bathrooms are gender neutral. Both inside and outside seating is available. read more

It's 70 degrees in Philadelphia and all you are craving is a margarita. Then you look up Loco Pez and realize that they have $6 nachos and $5 margaritas. PERFECTION. Honestly. this spot is perfect. They have plenty of outdoor seating and just a ton of good food. I've had a burrito, tacos, nachos, and margs: all GREAT! Last time I came, it was warm and I sat in their parking patio. It was covered but not too hot. Waitress was very nice and kept the water full as I made my way through 2 margaritas. If I could spend every happy hour here, I would be very happy. read more

Love this spot!! We are frequent flyers for dollar taco night! One thing we have learned is to get there early and put your name in. Every time we have gone, we have waited a minimum of 30 minutes. Especially now since the outdoor seating is closed to takes a while to get a table. The margs are fantastic! The only drink we have had that wasn't our favorite was the skinny marg although if you are looking for all tequila no mixer that's your drink. Chips and guacamole are a must! I have tried all the meat/seafood tacos after coming in multiple times. Al Pastor and Carnitas are by far my favorite! Chorizo is pretty good as well! Shrimp and Fish are okay. Carne Asada and Chicken are my least favorite. Some people I've gone with like them but they both just have a flavor profile that I don't love! Regardless of if it's dollar taco night or night, this is a must try! read more

I would go back to this place and try something besides their tacos. I saw other peoples plates and was jealous. It's cute for a date night. Our server was nice. I liked the fries and my friend liked her burrito. read more

The best Mexican food in the area. Way better than Tinas tacos. Good variety of proteins/vegan options. A bit on the pricey side for tacos but they have half off nachos for happy hour which are HUGE!! They use a lot of cheese if you're into that. Servers and bartenders are very friendly. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating but also gets crowded often read more

Loco Pez - A rock that I found in the beans - Bars Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Divey mexican bar and restaurant. Birria tacos were some of the best I've ever had period. Staff very friendly. Limited draft selection.

Let's just be straight up: there are much better taco places in Philly. There are much better taco places in Fishtown. Hell, there might be someone who lives on the same block as Loco Pez who might be willing to make you a taco, and it will probably be as good or better. This is not meant (I think) to be authentic Mexican food. Instead, it's kinda "food in the theme of Mexican." But it's cheesy and hearty and comforting, so it does the thing that takeout is supposed to do. And, even though it's a chain, it's still a real neighborhood restaurant. They really held this area down during the pandemic, and I appreciate them for it. read more

I normally have a good experience there but tonight was god awful with the fundido the people that I trust were not there

Update: the quesadillas and the the burritos are so good. So good that I came back 2 days later to order more. Really love the vibe of this place too. Only negative is they close at 10! read more
