Loco Pez

"Aside from sounding like a maddening candy dispenser, Loco Pez successfully pulls off the dive bar meets Mexican restaurant atmosphere. At their West Philly, Graduate Hospital, and Fishtown locations, you’ll find people drinking cheap margaritas like they don’t have three meetings tomorrow. And to soak it all up, many of them go for the street dog—it’s bacon-wrapped and comes layered with pico, jalapeño, black beans, ketchup, mayo, mustard, and shredded cheddar. It’s spicy and messy enough to create an avalanche of toppings on your plate after the first bite. But it’s a flavorful combination that makes it the most dependable item on their menu. " - candis mclean

"Stop by any of the Loco Pez locations (Fishtown, Graduate Hospital, West Philly) any night of the week and you’ll find groups of friends and coworkers diving into queso dip and sipping on an Impala, a.k.a. their classic margarita. It’s a pretty classic version with tequila, simple syrup, and lime juice, but the ingredients are very fresh and the blend hits the right amount of sweetness and tartness. They also have bottled versions of their margaritas, along with their other cocktails, so you can order a case or two for a summer BBQ. " - candis mclean

"Sometimes nothing is better than tacos and tequila, especially on the weekend but especially on $1 taco night! Be sure to keep an eye on their Twitter for mention of the special, which varies throughout the week." - The Heads of State

"Loco Pez is a taco truck-inspired bar in Fishtown, Graduate Hospital, and West Philly that looks like it’s straight out of the ’70s. If you have a job where Mondays and Tuesdays are your weekends, this is where you should go on your nights off. They have a full bar with cheap drinks, $2-$4 tacos, and a jukebox that has mostly old-school stuff you’ll want to sing along to. Just remember to bring cash and look up the secret menu before you go." - Candis Mclean, Alison Kessler
