Operating at 33rd and Arch since April Fool's Day, Honest Tom's Taco Shop has been earning some great word of mouth in its early days. Named for proprietor Tom McCusker, the cart tosses tortillas to the Drexel crowd Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. till whenever they run out of food (usually around 4), and travels to Clark Park in West Philly on Saturdays.
In the a.m., you can cop one of Tom's breakfast tacos for two and half bucks � they're filled with potatoes, scrambled eggs and homemade guacamole and salsa. When the lunch bell rings, check out chicken and vegetarian taco options with ingredients sourced from the Italian Market. They also brew French press coffee from Stumptown, the famed roasters out of Portland, Oregon.
This stuff is so good
I'm a huge fan of the breakfast tacos here, taste fresh and flavorful. Just be aware that you can't get the lunch tacos until after 12.
These are honest to God some of the best tacos I have ever had.
