2. Taqueria Amor

Manayunk’s premiere taqueria, once called Taqueria Feliz, has a huge margarita menu, with both frozen and regular options depending on your mood! We love the Spinarita, a mix of frozen margarita and sangria; and the aptly-named Kombucharita, a classic elderflower margarita mixed with Flower Power Kombucha! Taqueria Amor also has a consistent seasonal menu, supplying some of the best holiday cocktails in Philly.

4. Mission Taqueria

Mission Taqueria is one of the most fun places on this list, which is likely why you usually need a reservation to visit! Mission is typically packed to the gills, only proving what we know: this place is incredible! We recommend the Tammy 2 Marg (pictured above), named after Ron Swanson’s infamous second ex-wife, and is made with Mission hot sauce. Spicy!
