“Honest” Tom McCusker behind the counter at his new shop on 44th Street.
It was a familiar scene to many in West Philly. “Honest” Tom McCusker behind the counter asking for names and taking orders. But this time he was at eye level – not in his famous truck, but at his new shop at 261 S. 44th (between Spruce and Locust).
Honest Tom’s Taco Shop (Facebook link) opened for business this morning and with any luck, McCusker said, they will be open until 9 p.m. or so tonight. Honest Tom’s will be open seven days a week 8 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Like the truck, the shop is cash only.
Come back in a few days for a review, but we pretty much know how this one will turn out.

Honest Tom told me he’d marry me. He’s actually a liar.

I have verified the Tacos are still tasty 🙂 They need some seating and decorations but I’m sure that will come in time.

They actually do take credit cards.

Visited recently and quite liked the burritos and atmosphere except for the guy at the counter (not Tom) who was aloof bordering on rude. Hope he was having an off day and that’s not how he regularly treats paying customers.
