It took me a very long time to find a good quality taco in my last town. When I finally did, that taco was being served out of a humble truck parked in front of a dingy gas station where down-on-their luck folks would linger and pick cigarette butts out of trash cans. Took about 30 mins to drive there, and I was happy to do it.
Now, having just moved to Point Breeze, I find Philly Tacos at an unreasonably convenient 400 feet from my door. It's adorably decorated with happy-looking plants and a fun luchador mask collection hanging on the cheery azure walls. Sadly, I didn't have the opportunity to dine in this time around, but it seems like a nice family-run environment. I had no complaints about the quick & friendly service. Most importantly, they're serving up a damn fine al pastor taco packed with fresh & flavorful ingredients.
Loved it!

Update: Upping my original review from 4 to 5 stars for two reasons. One — the owner Carlos helped me out of a bind tonight, showing genuine neighborly kindness and hospitality. Two — I tried the pure creamy crunchy sugar cinnamon indulgence that is their churro. I would give this taco joint 6 stars if I could.
Nice spot at the Spruce Street Harbor Park! I went during the weekday, pre-happy hour time. Me and my husband walked right up without a line and ordered the al pastor tacos. Super delicious! Right amount of spice for those who like it. Next time we go, we'll have to ask if they sell their sauces. 😃
Excellent local Mexican food restaurant. I've only done carry out but dine in is available. Fantastic service, I received my order <10 minutes after ordering. I got chorizo tacos and a chorizo burrito, both were delicious. Reasonably priced
