About Blue Corn Restaurant and Bar

Blue Corn Restaurant and Bar offers authentic Mexican food in Philly, with a variety of dishes that often exceed expectations. The menu features options like nachos, quesadillas with unique ingredients like squash blossom, and the popular blue corn tacos. Favorites among customers include the lengua and cabeza tacos, as well as the refreshing ceviche that comes with a house-made spicy vinaigrette. The margaritas are a highlight, with many flavors to choose from, and the green salsa that comes with the tacos is excellent. The chicken flautas are crispy and flavorful, while the seafood stew special is a standout, filled with fresh seafood such as white fish and shrimp, and served with bread to dip in the delicious broth. The cactus/nopal dish was enjoyed by many, and the horchata was well-liked. Prices are fair, but the restaurant is cash only, though an ATM is available for a small fee. The casual ambiance makes it perfect for catching up with friends over drinks and tasty Mexican fare. The inside has a home-y feel and can feel a little squished, but the service is friendly and attentive. The restaurant tends to fill up quickly, especially with locals, making it a popular spot for a great dining experience.
