Celebrate National Taco Day in Philly

Provided

Rejoice! Today is National Taco Day and that means you must indulge this much loved Mexican dish in every way imaginable. Despite the West Coast thinking they’re the “best coast” for tacos, Philly has some pretty delicious options. Don’t stop until you’ve tried them all. From El Vez to Aqimero to Bar Bombon, there are so many options here. Perhaps tacos should get their own week — one day is simply not enough, especially when you live in Philly.

This Starr restaurant has all sorts of pizazz, from the pop of the decor to the extensive Mexican-American menu options. Their sea bass tacos are a must-try and come with sweet potato puree, fried jalapeno and grilled scallion.

This restaurant has locations around the country but recently opened their first Pennsylvania location in King of Prussia. Be sure to try their blackened fish tacos with pickled onion and pineapple slaw. If you love mixing spicy and sweet, this is definitely the taco for you.
