"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. While we love the tamarind margarita and tasty chicken enchiladas, the shrimp tacos have us fantasizing about a personal taco eating contest. Topped with pickled cabbage, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime, they are crisp, citrusy, and tangy. You can get them with the fiery roja salsa or a tamer, earthy verde. Either way, you'll be mopping up every last piece of it on your plate." - candis mclean, alison kessler
"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
"When: Monday-Friday, 4-7pm The Deal: $10 Margaritas, Mojitos, And Sangria, $1 Off Beer, $2 Off Wine. Similar to their South Philly location, Headhouse Square’s Tamalex serves great Mexican food in a space that’s casual enough to walk in with a few friends. But this spot has the bonus of a bar and live music. Come for smoky al pastor tacos that are also discounted during Happy Hour, Modelo on tap, an impressive variety of mezcal and tequila, and soccer on TV." - candis mclean
"Similar to the South Philly location, Headhouse Square’s Tamalex serves great Mexican food in a space that’s casual enough to walk in with a few friends. But this new spot has the bonus of a bar and live music. (More difference: there's no all-day service or Honduran specialties here.) Come for smoky al pastor tacos, Modelo on tap, an impressive variety of mezcal and tequila, and Happy Hour until 7pm. There’s probably going to be a soccer game on TV, and someone might even start playing the piano next to a tequila bottle shaped like a shotgun. " - candis mclean, alison kessler
