Marias Tacos

Ezekiel really explains it perfectly, but I can understand if some of you would read his review with skepticism, given that he is reviewing a husband and wife team with a portable restaurant. Believe me, and him, it is awesome. You can get a reasonable breakfast for two for $ 4. But if you are like me and Zeke, who have formidable appetites and a somewhat non-​existent will power when it comes to good food, you should spend $ 4 per person. Still, not bad.

ok, so this is kind of a weird review because maria and her husband manuel dont actually own a building, they own a cart. i know what youre thinking, «anybody can get tamales from one of the cart ladies» no no no, my friend we are talking apples and blue whales here, (i mean such a difference apples and oranges doesnt do it justice) they walk through the italian market on a semi regular basis at about 9 o’clock every morning, usually stopping at the address listed. friends, this is the best breakfast in south philadelphia.
i thought about it and (maybe it has a little something to do with convenience but then, sabrinas is only about two hundred feet away too.) i’ve eaten here on average 3 days a week for roughly 3 years, you know how many tacos that is? now let me describe what you’re getting into, maria serves about three kinds of tacos daily and sometimes has tortas and atole. varieties include, chorizo con juevos, carnitas (shredded awesomely fatty pork), papas con juevos and tingas (shredded spicy chicken, by far the best one) and a few
oddballs every now and again. one taco, with optional rice is two bucks, thats two soft taco shells, filling, hot sauce, cilantro, chopped onion and lime for two bucks, heres the thing, its way too big to eat the way she makes it, theres a method where you pull one of the soft tacos from under the other but only about three quarters of the way, then, using a lime wedge you push half of your taco filling onto the other soft shell. which makes what, class? two awesome tacos for two bucks! contact me with your phone number and i’ll let you know when the awesomeness is starting! i cant wait to have some tomorrow.
