"Blue Corn is one of the first places we send people for Mexican food in Philly. Almost everything here is made on site—from the two salsas that appear on every table to the corn tortillas used for their tacos, quesadillas, and huaraches. And while you might find al pastor tacos and ceviche on lots of menus, Blue Corn does the basics better than anyone else. The Italian Market restaurant looks like it's decorated for a holiday you're not aware of, so why not make it a celebration—they make some of the best margaritas in the city." - candis mclean, alison kessler
