Wow. I didn’t see this one coming. Once thought to be a friend to nachos, based largely on this article, Foobooz founder and suspected fascist Art Etchells has proved himself to be nothing more than the Skip Bayless of nacho opinion.
I guess the mountain that Foobooz and its woefully misguided editor have chosen to die on is one made of fresh tortilla chips.
I have been a Foobooz reader since its inception. This is treasonous. You don’t deserve nachos.
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.

When visiting the Emerald Isle, it’s not all corned beef and cabbage. Try one of these spots for nachos in Dublin.
Canadians will be gathering around their televisions waiting for the exit polls and eating these pizza nachos if the Toronto Globe and Mail have anything to say about it.

I have to take time out to recognize one of the OG’s in the food truck game. I used to go to Honest Tom’s truck when he was parked out at Broad and Pine, getting harassed by the fortune tellers who run their palmistry deal nearby and I guess felt threatened by amazing breakfast tacos outside their door.
Tom has gone brick and mortar now, and while he doesn’t offer nachos, his tacos are on point. Mrs. Nachojawn ordered up one sweet potato, one beef, and one chicken. Paired with a side of the freshest pico de gallo around, and a host of homemade salsas, Honest Tom’s is worth the trip up to West Philly.

This article comes to you thanks to eagle-eyed reader Bragas de Papa. It goes a long way towards explaining what a jawn is.
Anyone who has lived in Philadelphia in the last 20 years should be familiar with the Blue in Green restaurants on 3rd Street or on Sansom in Jeweler’s Row. Those restaurants are long gone, and owner Michael Baer has moved out to Seattle where he just opened up 3 Bear Donuts.
Longtime Nachojawn friend, Mike’s baking is incredible, and anyone out in Seattle should make a stop to support a great Philadelphian.
Sometimes you’ve got to go to an Irish bar in East Falls for nachos. When it’s the birthday of El Softbal Rey aka El Corazon Bueno that sometimes is now.
These chili covered nachos are well above average bar nachos. We ignored the plastic cups of sour cream and salsa, and focused on the heart of the matter. I’m giving thumbs up to them; the pineapple salsa was good, and it was important to get some food in the belly before doing some liver damage.

Although I liked him more before he met with Kim Davis, local gelateria Capogiro came up with this flavor for the papal visit to Philadelphia.
