A new Mexican restaurant, Taco Taco, quietly opened last month in the former Honest Tom’s Plant Based Taco Shop location at 261 S. 44th Street. According to a recent report, Honest Tom’s longtime kitchen staff members – Alvaro, Maria and Eli – took over the space after former owner Tom McCusker left at the end of July to start a new business, Fruitadelphia.
The new restaurant is no longer vegan, although it still features some vegan items, like BIFF (a walnut-based “meat”) tacos and burritos. The new owners brought back the old menu, including breakfast on the weekends, which Honest Tom’s used to serve before it went all-vegan in the summer of 2018.
Taco Taco is open Monday – Friday 11 a.m.-9 p.m. and on Saturdays and Sundays 10 a.m.-9 p.m.

That menu looks good and I love that the former employees are the new owners. I’ll visit very soon.

Tasty tacos too! Love that the same employees are still there, it’s back and more delicious than it used to be.

Too bad that the vegan approach didn’t work out. Mostly folks in West Phil are pretty progressive, but in this he was a bit ahead of the curve in his commitment not to eat or sell the flesh of other beings. Glad to see that he is exploring a new option with Fruitadelphia. Lots of respect for what he has done and is committed to doing.
