Tacos

When the going gets tough, feed yourself some soft tacos and indulge in their soft, warm, and chewy form bursting with filling. None of those hard, crispy taco shells that crumble in your hands once you take your first bite.  I found photos (forgive the grainy-phone quality) of these random on-campus eats lying around and thought I should share...

Honest Tom's Taco Shop
261 S 44th St (Locust St)

Summer special - Fish tacos with pickled shallots, grilled pineapple, jalapeño aoili, fresh cilantro

...for when you are craving quality but ridiculously affordable comfort food. Honest Tom's is a quaint little taco shop that makes quick, tasty, and satisfying soft tacos. I usually go for the sweet potato tacos (bomb!) but I couldn't resist their summer special. Everything tasted so fresh. Honest Tom's is also conveniently located right next to the Little Pop Shop. Usually, a popsicle right after some tacos would be a no-brainer but time was not on our side that day.

Distrito
3945 Chestnut St.

Tacos de mahi mahi - chipotle remoulade, avocado, red cabbage, lime

...for when you want something a little more upscale but within walking distance. Distrito is an iron chef Jose Garces restaurant (think Amada, Tinto, Graces Trading Co., Village Whiskey etc. for all you Philly dwellers) located on campus. The menu focuses on modern mexican street food and as aforementioned, is on the finer side of dining. I usually go for the tangy, creamy, and crispy mahi-mahi tacos, which comes in the most perfect portion. It will never let you down.
