Local tip
For larger parties, contacting the restaurant ahead of time is sensible because reservations are limited to groups of eight or more.

Hi-Lo Taco Co. is a Tex-Mex restaurant and tequila bar on Walnut Street in Philadelphia. The menu centers on tacos made with handmade tortillas, pairing a familiar Mexican-inspired format with the broader flavors associated with Tex-Mex cooking. The restaurant also maintains dedicated vegetarian and vegan taco selections, giving plant-based diners a clear place to begin.

The drink program gives the venue a bar-focused identity, with tequila and mezcal menus alongside other beverages. That combination makes Hi-Lo Taco Co. suitable for a casual meal, a taco-centered drink stop or a gathering built around shared food and cocktails. The setting is organized around the restaurant and bar rather than a formal dining format, keeping the focus on tacos, drinks and a straightforward Tex-Mex experience.

Dining options include eating in the restaurant, takeout and delivery. The format works for individual meals as well as group occasions, while catering extends the menu to office lunches, corporate meetings, birthday parties, private events and game-day gatherings. Catering also makes the restaurant relevant beyond a standard meal, especially for hosts seeking a taco-based option for an informal event.

Hi-Lo Taco Co. adds a regular happy-hour program to its food and drink offering. The promotion provides a reason to visit during the late afternoon, while additional evening availability is offered on Fridays and Saturdays. Since the venue serves both food and drinks, the restaurant can accommodate guests focused primarily on tacos as well as groups looking for a bar setting with a substantial food menu.

The Walnut Street location sits between 11th and 12th Streets, placing the restaurant within an active central Philadelphia dining area. The venue’s combination of handmade-tortilla tacos, tequila and mezcal, vegetarian and vegan choices, and flexible ordering formats gives the menu broad practical appeal without moving away from its Tex-Mex focus. Hi-Lo Taco Co. is best suited to diners seeking tacos in a relaxed restaurant-and-bar setting, groups planning an informal gathering, and event organizers considering catered Tex-Mex food.
