Blue Corn Restaurant and Bar

"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

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

"Blue Corn offers taco platters that pair well with margaritas as big as a baby’s head, providing a vibrant dining experience." - Regan Stephens

"Blue Corn is a small, 10-table Mexican restaurant in the Italian market, and it’s one of our go-to spots when we want a fun night out that starts with good margaritas and great tacos. Everything here is made in the small, open kitchen—from the two semi-spicy salsas that appear on every table to their corn tortillas that form the base of most of their tacos, quesadillas, and huaraches. Just remember, it's cash only." - candis mclean, alison kessler

"Blue Corn is a lively 10-table restaurant in the Italian market, and it’s one of our go-tos for great 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 blue corn tortillas in their tacos, quesadillas, and huaraches. And while you might order tortilla soup and ceviche on lots of menus, Blue Corn also serves tougher-to-find stuff like nopales and beef cheeks." - alison kessler, candis mclean
