NOW OPEN: Honest Tom's Taco Shop
More than two years after he rolled out Honest Tom's Taco Truck, Tom McCusker has moved on up to a brick-and-mortar restaurant in West Philly (261 S. 44th St., 215-620-1851). Open daily from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. with extended hours coming in the near future, the shop starts the day with GreenStreet coffee and breakfast tacos (scrambled eggs, potato, cheese, bacon, salsa, guac), moving into tacos and burritos by lunchtime. Though there is a table and a handful of counter stools are coming soon, he's banking on mostly takeout business for right now; local delivery will start after the new year. McCusker says his eventual plan is to bust out the front of the shop and introduce a 8-foot-long communal picnic table that will spill out onto the sidewalk for a little fresh-air seating.
McCusker will continue to run his mobile taco operation on Saturdays at Clark Park, but won't be back at his usual Aviator Park haunt until this spring. By that time, he says, the Honest Tom's truck will be tricked out enough to allow him to offer both tacos and burritos to walk-up customers.
Sweet, can't wait to go!— MLF- 8 minute walk from my school! Instead of eating gyros at the Greek Lady everyday, I can eat tacos every other day!— Sandy T
