Brick-and-mortar Honest Tom's coming next month
"Honest" Tom McCusker, whose tortilla-wrapped mobile exploits we've followed quite closely here at Meal Ticket, says he's aiming for mid to late August for for the official opening of Honest Tom's Taco Shop, a permanent operation (261 S. 44th St.) on the same West Philly strip as Local 44 and Tampopo. "We'll start out doing just nights to keep the truck moving," says McCusker. "Once it gets a little bit colder, we'll shut the truck down and try breakfast, lunch and dinner, with the truck coming back in the spring."
In addition to his signature tacos, McCusker will be rolling up burritos and hopefully serving tamales out of the new takeout-only space, too. The building has a 600-square-foot second floor that McCusker plans on eventually taking over to accommodate eaters who BYO from Local 44's impending bottle shop. By next spring, McCusker hopes, he'll have enough juice to renovate the Honest Tom's truck to create enough room for it to offer burritos in addition to tacos.
