Avocado Salsa Verde & Chips

Dollar taco night was great at loco pez! I was able to get a seat at the bar easily and the bartender was excellent. The food came out quickly and everything was delicious. There was also a good amount of seating outdoors in addition to the space inside. Everything tasted great and the deal was amazing!

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

Quesabirria Tacos

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. Will def go back to try one of their burritos, our waitress was also super friendly and attentive

You can't go wrong with a quick tacos + margarita combo at any loco per location. The south Philly location is my personal fave, staff are always nice, and the vibe is always welcoming.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

Dollar tacos (clockwise starting at 11 o'clock: shrimp, fish, chorizo 2x, carne asada, al pastor, pollo tinga)

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.

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

Came here for lunch. Driving and parking is fine in the day. As others mentioned its not a good…read morearea to walk around. Inside I enjoyed the decor and vibe. Staff very friendly. 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.

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.

solid spot for mexican food, plus points for convenience factor with reservations!…read more i live a 5-minute walk from el rey, so i have been a few times over the years. while it's not my favorite mexican place in the city, it's convenient, especially when you have a big group. there is plenty of seating, and they take reservations even for happy hour which is rare. the food here is decent. while it's nothing spectacular, it satisfies the craving and is a solid bite. the last time i went, we were able to order a mix of happy hour menu items and regular menu items since we were there for an early dinner at 5p. our table shared the chips and guac, and i ordered the brisket quesadilla. i was actually pleasantly surprised by the quesadilla, it was packed with meat and quite flavorful. my boyfriend got 4 tacos from the hh menu, and it's nice to be able to mix and match tacos. at ~$3/taco, the food here isn't exactly cheap, but its standard for the city. definitely no dollar taco though. our server was sweet but a little odd. he was talkative and kept making comments on how well we did finishing our food. not sure if it was a jab at our appetites (which i think is normal?? idk i don't think we ordered that much food lol) but we didn't mind the banter. made for a fun joke afterwards. the restaurant itself is decently sized with both outdoor and indoor seating. there are a few booths along the sides of the restaurant, a bar near the entrance, and a string of about of tables in the back which would be great for big groups. the decor is fun and quirky, makes for good conversation pointing out things on the walls. i would come back again for the convenience factor!

We got the vegetarian nachos (4/5) and the margaritas (guava 4/5, mango 3.5/5). The toppings on the nachos - beans, salsa, cheese and jalapeños were delicious. It felt like they skimped on the jalapeños but oh well. The guac (extra with the nachos) was wonderful! The drinks were both a little too sweet with excessive ice - a little expensive because the glass is filled with too much ice.
