Blue Corn

I’ve come here for lunch a handful of times in the summer but recently booked a reservation for 16 on a Friday night for my birthday and the service was excellent. They brought out the cake and sang happy birthday and it was a great, friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend for anyone in the Italian market area.

A neighborhood gem serving authentic and delicious Mexican food. The staff is very professional and friendly. We had their catering service a few times and they never disappoint. Excellent delivery service, impressive presentation of food and of course, always delicious and quantity is more than adequate.

This is a small place that only takes cash but there is great service here and quality food. I ordered an appetizer for the table of brisket tortas, which were tender and flavorful then I got the blue tacos. They are pork, pineapple, onion, green pepper and cilantro. Maybe a little too much pepper and cilantro for some but I liked it and their salsa had some heat and was flavorful. I also got the beans and rice which were very good.

Cute spot in the Italian market! Good food, friendly staff, fast service. Went for breakfast with my sister. I got French toast stuffed with cajeta (sweetened caramelized goats milk) and platanos and my sister got the green chilaquiles. We each had the Mexican coffee which was my favorite. Everyone's food around us look delicious. Definitely going back for dinner!

Chiles en nogada was a special dish when we visited and we both had it for the first time. After delicious guac and crisp blue tortillas our entrees arrived. Beautifully presented and fresh ingredients made this a hit with both of us. Highly recommend. I had a draft beer and my wife had a glass of Pinot grigio. Service was great, we were checked on by multiple servers but not smothered and they were all friendly and helpful. Also the restroom was immaculate.

Not a bad experience. We ordered chicken flautas, carnitas and cabeza tacos. I didn’t think the tacos were outstanding, they were a bit on the drier side. The carnitas and the cabeza meat itself were good. If you add guac and some salsa on them, they taste a lot better. So it’s a matter of what you add on the tacos. All in all, a pretty decent experience. Great staff, btw!

Blue Corn offers a wide-range of authentic Mexican food ranging from ceviche to tacos to burritos to so much more. The food is meticulously prepared and quite tasty. The restaurant is accommodating if special dietary issues. The service is efficient, helpful, and warm. Regarding the atmosphere, I can only speak about their small outdoor dining area. It's an average, covered area with several two-top and four-top tables. Blue Corn also serves a variety of bar drinks including flavored, refreshing Margaritas. Located in the 9th Street (Italian) Market, Blue Corn is open for lunch and dinner. It's an excellent choice for Mexican food and drink in Philly. I'll be going back.
