Taqueria Feliz Delivers Authentic Mexican Flavor

I'm not a food critic or writer.  I've never done that kind of thing before, and quite frankly I wouldn't know where to start.

Some friends of mine and I went to Taqueria Feliz on Main Street in Manayunk on Saturday night.

We all really enjoyed it.  

Having grown up in Los Angeles, I have a soft spot for Mexican food.  

Taqueria Feliz does the simple things right.  A lot of Mexican restaurants overlook the simple things like tortillas and refried beans.  I'm happy to report that Feliz delivered on both fronts.

My carne asada tasted like home, and I was particularly fond of my not-too-sweet margarita.  

My friends also enjoyed their meals especially the guacamole (again, a simple thing that sometimes gets overlooked), the plantains and the pork tacos.

We thought it was a little pricey for Mexican food, but considering the location and the pedigree of the restaurant it was fine in the end.

Also, I also had what was essentially a Mexican hot dog.  It was a hot dog topped with refried beans, chorizo (mexican sausage), smoked bacon, green salsa and sour cream.  It was delicious.

My friend ordered the lamb heart skewers.  I am not a particularly huge fan of heart meat, but these were pretty tasty.
