The Best Mexican Restaurants In Philadelphia - Philadelphia - The Infatuation

"Similar to the original South Philly location, Headhouse Square’s Tamalex serves great, affordable Mexican food in a space that’s casual enough to walk in with a few friends on a weeknight. We love the tamarind margarita, tasty chicken enchiladas bathing in a peppery mole sauce, and all the tacos, which are simple but have great flavor and quality. It's a fun option for Happy Hour, especially since the drink specials run until 7pm. Come for good al pastor tacos, Modelo on tap, and an impressive variety of mezcal and tequila. There’s probably going to be soccer playing behind the bar, and someone might even randomly start playing the piano next to a tequila bottle shaped like a shotgun. Either way, you'll be mopping up every last piece of smoky al pastor on your plate." - alison kessler, candis mclean
