I've passed by this spot lots of times, as it's just one block away from the church I've been attending. A group of us decided to stop in one day for lunch after service, and I thought it was great overall. Great ambiance inside, similar to other spots in the area. Service was pretty quick, and the staff was friendly. I ordered breakfast tacos, which were pretty tasty. Three of them came with the order, and they were good. I would go back to try something else, perhaps another brunch item. read more

Come get their happy hour and order the pitcher of margs and the loaded chicken nachos! So so good! We all looked at each other and said, "why have we been sleeping on this??" If it's a beautiful night, sit outside like we did! Come here! read more

Dollar Tacos! Need I say more. Did the 20 taco challenge (and got a shirt). The tableside sauces are a nice touch and there was a huge selection. Tacos were very decent, but at $1/taco, I cannot complain. Friendly staff was well and cute decor read more

Dollar taco nights are a great deal. However, we were seated outside despite requesting indoor seating. It was a night where it was maybe 40 degrees. Would've been a better experience if there were heat lamps outside. read more

Excellent customer service and okay tacos. I got 3 vegetarian tacos: soy chorizo, mushroom and seitan adobo. And I liked them in that order. Chorizo was flavorful with great texture. Mushroom was okay but could use some more seasoning. I wouldn't recommend the seitan - it was so bland. Three tacos was perfect for me to be filled and they give you a side of chips and salsa. read more

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! read more

My husband and I have come to this location a few times and have unfortunately been disappointed every time. We love going to the fish town location, but this one is sorely lacking. Service is generally slow and many of the staff members stand around and do nothing during a busy shift. Tonight in particular was rough. Our server was clearly overwhelmed and it looked as though he had half the restaurant to himself. I don't blame him for anything we encountered tonight. Again other staff were standing around doing nothing when he clearly needed help. My drink order came out wrong and unfortunately we couldn't order more food and drinks because he was so busy with all of his tables. The food quality isn't even there anymore, this last time receiving tacos that were cold, bland and dry. The music is also too loud for anyone to have a proper conversation and for servers to hear what your order is. I believe this is why my drink order came out wrong. It just looks like there's no management overseeing the place and there's no one who I've come across who even seemed like a manager one could approach. A lot needs to be done to improve and after our last experience we won't be returning. read more

Last night me and my coworkers dined here. We had a great time. Our server Isaiah was wonderful. This small taco spot had great food, although I did not take pictures the Elote wings chefs kiss. It had great flavor and the margaritas were great too. All in all if you are looking for a low key taco margaritas spot this might be for you. read more

Check your bill before you pay at Loco Pez in Fishtown. They add a 3% "Kitchen Service Fee" that is not a city or state tax. Nobody mentioned it beforehand, and when I asked, the server couldn't explain it. They did offer to take it off once I pointed it out. This is not a required government fee. It is an extra charge on top of regular tipping, and it feels like an unannounced add-on unless you catch it yourself. If you go, look at the check closely before you pay. read more

The weekly dollar tacos at loco pez are a must try activity in west philly! They're expectedly small, but not ridiculously so, and pretty good considering the deal. They post the day of dolly tocky on their Instagram each week, and it can get busy for a larger party, but is worth the wait for a bargain night with friends. read more

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. read more

I guess if ur into Americanized Mexican food this is the place for u, otherwise, steer clear. If u must, shrimp taco was the best, Al pastor burrito was the worst. Great service & ambiance tho. read more

They make a GREAT margarita! Tacos are awful and full meat filler. The atmosphere is rollicking and fun. Always crowded most days after 5:00 p.m. nice crowd of diverse population ... all friendly and nice folks. All are welcome... Gay. straight, Black, White, Hispanic and Asians folks all enjoying each other and hanging out and enjoying loud fun! read more

Pros: 1) It's a super fun spot with good ambiance. 2) The salsa trio is good 3) The drinks are good 4) There's outdoor seating Cons: 1) To me, the food just isn't good. The tacos aren't good, the enchilada I had the other day wasn't good. It lacks flavor, is not even close to authentic, but doesn't even taste like good inauthentic Mexican food (which is its own cuisine that can be plenty good). 2) My food came cold the other day. My boyfriend and his friends love this as a hang out spot so I'm sure I'll be back, and I'll keep trying to order things until I find something I like, but so far, not so good. read more

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 read more

Wow wow wow. I came for dollar taco night...on top of absolutely terrible service from Julie who denied us having drinks because someone at our table wasn't 21 when she wasn't even trying to drink. We tried to move passed that but then were denied boxes from the SAME server who said we'd have to pay full price for the two tacos between the 6 of us. She gave a very poor excuse about "people took advantage". I am a career server so I'm extremely lenient and was going to just let it go. When I went to use the bathroom my server and what I assume to be other waiters and waitresses were eating what I assume to be my tacos that I was barred from taking. Extremely weird and disgusting behavior. She only carded us too not any table she took next to us. We ended up going to the bar for boxes and she happily gave them to us. Weird behavior just say you're hungry read more

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! read more

Me + my friends got denied alcohol because 2/4 us had South Carolina IDs and they claimed they "didn't scan" even though they were Real IDs. Not sure if this was targeted transphobia seeing as we were also the two at the table who were most visibly and noticeably trans compared to our IDs but it's super weird considering a friend who used to bartend at this location says they don't have a scanner, and we have never had our IDs scanned before when drinking here in the past. I also have thrown up twice after eating the food here and not even drinking at all so idk....i personally am never going back stay safe yall read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

I've got some bones to pick with this location. FOR TAKE OUT, ALWAYS CHECK YOUR ORDER BEFORE LEAVING. I've only gotten take-out from the location. First time (two days ago) I got two chili dogs and they forgot the jalapeños. Today, I got another two and they pretty much forgot everything - it was just chili and hot dog. They forgot the cheese, crema, and jalapeños. We had to go allll the way back after we got home to get new hot dogs. What a gigantic inconvenience. Such a shame because food is 4, but reliability is 0. I was going to pick up two pounds of adobo wings tomorrow for a BBQ but not anymore. I'm not making a fourth trip up there to pick up one and a half pound of wings when I ordered two pounds. I hear their wings are very very good. Anyway, on to the food - obviously I am in love with their chili dogs. It is beanless, which is an absolute must for me. The jalapeños on there is a winner. I discovered this from their Northern Liberties location. This location just keeps messing that up. When and IF they get it right, it is so so so good! I love their chicken quesadilla too. I put mine in the oven so the outside is extra crispy. The ground beef burrito was pretty good, except it was not very well distributed. The beef pretty much on one end of the burrito. I was essentially eating a rice burrito during the first half. read more

This restaurant is a perfect case study of mediocrity. Nestled in the heart of West Philly in between Penn, Drexel, and USciences campus it's a prime location for "college food". My expectations weren't high but the price doesn't match the value. I'm more than willing to pay a handsome price if the food is equally exceptionally. I ordered an enchilada and the flavor profile was a bit chalky. Certainly not the worst I've had but far away from the best. If you're looking for a quick bite in the area with little to low expectations this might be a spot for consideration. However, if you're actually searching for quality Mexican food I would consider one of the several other restaurants scattered around the area. read more

First time at Loco Pez. The service was really efficient and quick. Chill environment, the lunch hour is good for bringing in your laptop and getting some work done or a quick business meeting.

First time coming to this local Mexican restaurant, welcomed by kind staff and was able to sit outside on a nice summer day! My friend got the vegan nachos which she states is one of the best things on their menu! I grabbed a multitude of meats for my tacos, and was definitely full after eating 4! I will say their tacos are kind of pricy - around 3.5-5$ per taco. It was good but I don't think I will be coming here unless I am really craving tacos again, but it was a great experience! read more

Ah, Loco Pez. I've been wanting to try food from here for over a year, but the happy hour crowds always held me off from the possibilitity of dollar tacos and $4 margaritas. That and the very mixed Yelp reviews, plus the negative assessment from a friend of a friend (granted, I don't know the friend's friend's tastes, but this explains the missed opportunity to go with the friend, who is actually my brother, whose word is basically sacred to me). During the takeout-only period of pandemic-2020 though, I decided maybe it was a safe time to take a chance on vegetarian burritos. You know how there's very few reviews about the burritos, and fewer pictures? Turns out there's a reason for that. So this very disappointed assessment is for the vegetarian burritos only. Unless you enjoy your burritos filled with a relatively bland blend of rice, cheese, crema, and a smattering of your selected filling (there were maybe 5 or 6 small mushrooms in mine, and not much soy chorizo in my partner's) there's really no reason to get this item. I basically inundated my food with fresh ground pepper and line juice to give it actual flavor. I'll say that their takeout setup is very friendly and convenient, from the 47th street entrance. I am still willing to consider going back to try that taco/margarita happy hour, but that could still be a long way off. If/when that happens, I will update this review. read more

I went here with my sister and fiance and we were able to get a decent sampling of the menu. We split their chicken quesadillas as our appetizer and also tried a bite each of their special taco of the day which was fried oyster. I ordered the chorizo enchiladas and really enjoyed it; we all thought the food was good and appreciated the sauce varieties they had on the table. My fiance also had their enchiladas and my sister got a steak burrito and everything came out as expected. We thought everything was flavorful and I loved that the dishes all came automatically with beans and rice. We all also had drinks as well; I ordered the Fairline, which was pineapple infused tequila, guava, and lime juice, but ended up trading my drink with my sister's, who ordered the Chevelle, which was habanero infused olmeca altos plata, mezcal, passion fruit puree, and lime. It was a really unique tasting drink and really delicious; my original one was great too, really refreshing, but after tasting each other's, my sister and I just liked what we each got instead of our original order. To end everything, we split a tres leches cake, and we really loved their version. The hint of coconut flavor in it was everything! The only complaint I would have about our experience is how slow the service was towards the end; our waitress disappeared after dessert and finding her to try to grab our check was really tough; we even had to go in and grab someone else to try to find her for us and take our check. We had to hurry a bit at that point due to an oncoming thunderstorm while we were eating outside. read more

Middling Mex food, tortilla soup was decent, tacos were just regular. enjoyed the outdoor seating area.

I really been on a nachos kick for awhile, the last nachos from a different place were decent but these were much better! I ordered veggie nachos and it had refried beans, jalapenos, green peppers, scallions boy it was loaded! Service was wonderful as well, I simply called and placed my order and in 10 minutes they were ready. The lady was super friendly. I definitely got service with a smile! The price was also right. I paid about 10.00 and they even gave me extra nachos in a small bag with extra sauces! It's the little things! How wonderful! Luckily it's close to my job as well which means I'll be back!! read more
