The original Taquitos de Puebla, also on 9th Street, is one of the original taquerias in the Italian Market area. They’ve got great tacos and a killer al pastor.
After Nachojawn Jr.’s soccer game one Saturday afternoon at Capitolo Playground,
we saw the sign for Taquitos de Puebla III. After we sat, I asked and found out that the two restaurants have different ownership even though they have the same name and are about 4 blocks from each other.
Mrs. Nachojawn was a bigger fan of these than me. You can see that the cheese wasn’t melted, and I don’t love lettuce when it gets all warm and wilty. The pastor was also inferior to the original Taquitos.
Right next to Pat’s and Geno’s, it’s always an interesting scene down on Passyunk.
