TACO HOUSE
Update: Taco House is now Cafe Centraal, whose menu appears to be an interesting hyrbrid of Mexican and Middle Eastern food. Be on the lookout for a review soon.
A hole in the wall serving dee-licious Mexican food with attractive indie-rocker art school students behind the counter. It's very affordable and you'll definitely be full (perhaps too full) for under $10. The specials are probably their best deal, but don't shy away from their à la carte chalkboard menu.
The bean burrito was one of the best Messy's ever had. But stay away from their chili con carne, there's not much to it at all. And best of all, you can eat at a sit-down Ms. Pac Man console table. What could be better than gooey Mexican food and Ms. Pac Man? Nothing.
Messy ****
Picky ***1/2
The final word: A great bet for cheap yet satisfying Mexican food. . . and Philly hipsters.
