"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
"At Bella Vista's Blue Corn, the excellent Mexican menu always includes at least one ceviche. You'll find classic combinations like octopus or lobster with pico de gallo, buttery avocado, and flourishes of homemade spicy bruja vinegar. And it's always fantastic. It’s a laidback, casual restaurant—perfect for margarita catch-ups as well as low-stakes date nights—and the menu has just as many hearty options like chicken mole and crispy huaraches if you’re looking for something beyond seafood." - candis mclean
"Blue Corn is one of the first places we send people for margaritas and tacos in Philly. Almost everything at this lively, tiny restaurant 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 in Philly, Blue Corn does the basics better than almost anyone else. Bring cash or plan on using the ATM inside. And if you see the fish tacos as specials, pounce." - alison kessler, candis mclean
"Blue Corn is a 10-table Mexican restaurant in the Italian Market, and it’s one of our go-to spots when we want a fun date night that starts with good margaritas and even better tacos. Everything here is made in the small, open kitchen—from the two semi-spicy salsas that appear on every table to the corn tortillas that form the base of most of their tacos, quesadillas, and huaraches. Just remember it's cash only." - candis mclean, alison kessler
