Mexico on the Square (1511 Pine St., 215-732-1907) is the name of the relocated Taqueria Formerly Known as Savoy. (We told you about the move in January.) The takeout spot is offering tortas, tacos, picaditas, flautas, sopes, tostadas and burritos, plus a selection of hoagies (with Boar's Head meats), cheesesteaks and other grillable eats. Stopped in earlier today and snagged a delicious trio of tacos (al pastor, carne asada and our fave, chorizo) for $2.50 a pop. We've got the full Mexi menu for y'all after the jump.
